Chapter 156-Accused Of Using Drugs
Helanie:
"Did you know about the timer? Why didn’t you announce it to everyone?" Penn yelled at his sister.
"Beca—," Lucy tried to respond, but he raised his palm to silence her.
"I’m not talking to you. I’m speaking with my sister," he shouted at Lucy before turning back to Jenny. We had already reached the car to keep an eye on the heavily drunk Lamar.
"Why do you want to be a part of this politics? You had to work extra hard to get into this academy, and now you’re throwing it all away by getting involved in petty drama that isn’t even your problem?" The way he was shouting at her made my blood boil.
I had a stepbrother back home. Living with Sullivan had been such a task. He was a bully, end of story. There wasn’t much else to say. He hated my guts, just like my so-called parents. So, Penn yelling at Jenny reminded me of those days, and it was exhausting.
"Here," Lucy whispered as she handed me my phone. "I saw it on the kitchen counter and thought you might have left it there by accident."
"I’ll tell you exactly what happened and how it ended up on the kitchen counter," I whispered back to her before our attention returned to the siblings.
"She’s my friend. I’m not going against her," Jenny finally spoke, and I guess she shocked her brother with the tone she used.
"Look at you. Spending time with them has changed your tone and mannerisms," Penn hissed, taunting us for being from a lower rank.
"Huh, you’d rather I befriend Sydney and Salem? Do you even know the kind of crazy shit they do?" Jenny fired back with so much confidence that I felt proud of her.
