Chapter 32: Deal With It.
When everyone looked at her, she whispered, "if we tell her, she will be alert. It is better to talk to authorities about it." Penny’s lips curled.
"Yes, it would be better if I did it properly." ha! She had insulted me with that doctor that night. Now she would be proven a cheater and fraud. "But what if she was rusticated because of that?" she covered her lips after saying so. Her eyes widening with shock.
Lisa shrugged and looked back at Nora who was arranging their beds. For some reason, she looked too different from the Nora she had seen in the past. Her eyes were too clear and calm to be a fraud. But she pushed that thought away. After all, the girl had not participated in the exam but she had won it?
"Then let it be. I hate liars. And liars deserve punishment. Because of people like them, we are not able to thrive higher." her eyes had a glint of malice in them. Others did not say a word because of the intimidation.
"There, it is done." Nora returned with a fawning but meek smile on her face. When she noticed the file in their hands, her expression did not change but she extended her hands to take the file back from them.
Lisa had already taken out the marking certificate and placed it in her pocket. So she returned the file without a fuss and left for her bed with a cold smile. The two other girls followed silently.
"You had created enough troubles recently. But now that I am happy, I forgive you." she smirked as she patted Nora’s shoulders with a look of satisfaction and left for her bed.
They had left the smallest unused bed for her. Nora slowly looked at the file in her hands then at the bed Penny was settling in and the smirk grew wide.
In the morning,
When others woke up, Nora was already gone from the room. But her things reminded them that she was still living with them.
