Chapter 41: Winning Over
Provocation from a little girl. Putting her uniform onto her bunk bed against the door, Nora turned around and looked at Linda with a smile on her face.
"If you think that I have connections to convince the principal, the autothiry related with the most prestigious exam just because I am friends with Alex, then why don’t you try being friends with him too?" Nora laughed and shook her head as if she felt like Linda was a fool to even think so.
"..." Linda bit her lips. Even she felt that it was ludicrous. But she could not find any other way to justify Nora was here.
Lisa took out her book instead. She had marked a few questions that she was not able to sleep. She had gone to the teacher to ask them. But she was told that it was fine if she did not know them. The problems were of university level and would not be asked this year. They were only there to make them aware about the complexities of numericals.
She looked at Nora while holding that book. When Linda could not win her and failed, she stood up with the book in her hands.
"Nora, like others, I do not doubt that you have cheated." she announced, earning a look of shock from others. "Not because I have trust in you. But I believe that authorities could not be swayed this easily. Now that we are roommates, we should not fight each other but try to be friends." Nora’s brows furrowed.
She was not a fool to believe this young girl’s announcement but she still nodded. They were not her targets, only Penny is. But if she could win their friendship then Penny would never accept it and come charging to her.
Sorting her thoughts in her mind, Nora nodded ignoring the book in Lisa’s hands even though she knew what that young girl wanted to do.
It was good to be young again with the mind of an adult. It was so easy to read all of them. Did she used to wear her thoughts and emotions on her face too?
