Chapter 66: Charged Guilty!
Nora had always been a pushover. Penny did not remember Nora had ever cut their words. Even when she had glared at Penny for the injustice she had suffered, she had never once spoken about it.
The only reason was, her father treated her well. She was well fed, educated and even had good dresses. Who could leave such luxuries but to think that she had left just like that! Penny could not bear it and forgot that she was in her class.
But now that Nora had gone, Penny noticed how everyone was looking at her with contempt and disdain. Some even have abhorred expressions on their faces making her embarrassed.
"Nora..." she opened her mouth only to receive snickers. When everyone looked at her, she felt intimidated. How much hard work had she done to earn an image between them but now they were looking at her as if she was a criminal. Rage burnt her and she left the class gritting her teeth.
She went straight to the dorm where Nora should be. She slammed the door open and glared at the beds but to her surprise the room was empty. She entered and checked the washrooms but even they were empty. Her rage flared.
"Ha! Were you not injured enough to not be able to stand. Where did you go now?" suddenly a thought came to her mind and she bit her lips. "No! I have to collect proofs before she could complain to the principal."
Everyone was against her, if they asked around, she would be blamed easily. Look at her luck, all her life, she had beaten and cursed Nora. But no one said a word. Now that she had done nothing, she was accused in the public. It was all because she had found a backer. But who had beaten Nora? If only she could find that!
She went straight to the warden room and knocked on the door, "Miss Megan, it is me, Pennelope."
It only took a second to open the door. Megan looked around and opened the door wide and pulled Penny in.
