บท 184: This girl is scaring me now

"I hate that girl. Even though I pity her in a way, she put it upon herself."

"It's a good thing she was transferred to the bottom section. It's much more peaceful in our class without her and Patricia in it." 

Nina stopped in her tracks when she heard these remarks come from Ginnie and Lily. She held her breath and lowered her head, turning her back. 

'Forget it,' she told herself, pressing her lips into a thin line. 'It doesn't matter, I guess?'

Nina dragged her feet to leave, as she didn't want to hear more of this. She didn't want to listen more, especially hear whatever Penny had got to say. She already told herself not to wallow in hatred, but if she heard Penny say anything, Nina knew she might slide back to the miserable and dreadful darkness in her heart. 

However, her steps stopped when Penny spoke. 

"I don't hate Nina."
