77 Teacher, she stole my stuff!
“Where’s my ne?! Who stole it?!” Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Everyone in ss looked at each other strangely when the word “stole” flew out of Patricia’s mouth. The majority of students here came from wealthy families. Who would do such a thing?
“Was it Ginnie?” one student was quick to drop a name.
“Well, she’s a schr student and Patricia always picks on her.”
Another student snorted. “Is this her way of revenge? Goodness. What do you mean Patricia is picking <b>on </b>her? Patricia’s family is now supporting Ginnie’s study since the school only shoulders her tuition and not her daily allowance.”
“That’s right. If not for the Miller Family, Ginnie would still be eating that disgusting home–cooked meal”
As the hushed usations slowly grew louder, Ginnie, who was sitting quietly at her desk, tensed up. She looked at her ssmates incredulously.
“I didn’t…” she muttered, almost whimpering. However, she could only trail off because her other ssmates were looking at her in disgust.
“Why does the school allow people like her to step into this school?”
“I should tell my mom about this. Who wants to study when you have a thief as a ssmate?”
“I’ll tell my mom too.”
“The problem with schr students is that just because they’re smart enough to get in this school, they think they’re the same as us.”
Ginnie’s shoulders trembled, frightened at the foreseeable hatred she would be receiving from this day onward. Being picked on by the ss’s queen bee and being ostracized by the entire ss was already hard enough. But with everyone using her of stealing, the thought of leaving school quickly crossed her mind.
How could she <b>stay </b>in this hell?
“<b>Hah</b>! Are <b>you </b><b>all </b>out of your mind?! Why would Ginnie steal my stuff when she’s my friend?!” Much <b>to </b>everyone’s surprise, Patricia, who wouldn’t have any qualms about belittling Ginnie out <b>in </b><b>the </b><b>open</b><b>, </b>defended her.
Ginnie’s brows rose and looked at Patricia with wide eyes. “Huh?”
Did Ginnie hear Patricia correctly? Or was it just an illusion? At this point, Ginnie wasn’t sure. Patricia was <b>the </b>most prejudiced about schr students<b>. </b>It was because of that Patricia’s eyes put Ginnie <b>on </b><b>a </b><b>target </b>lock. But now Patricia was defending her?
<b>‘</b><b>Is the </b><b>world ending</b><b>?” </b>
Ginnie wasn’t the only person who <b>was </b>shocked by this, but everyone in ss. They also wondered if <b>they </b>heard things wrong.
How could Patricia defend Ginnie<b>? </b>Or rather did she inst <b>call </b>Ginnie <b>her </b>friend? What was going

on?
77 Teacher, she stole my stuff!
Patricia crossed her arms and scanned the room, inevitably catching a small figure walking in the corner to get into her desk.
She snorted. “Ginnie has been with us since the beginning of the school year, but nothing like this happened<b>. </b>It is only now that something has gone missing at the same time another student arrived.”
With that, the ss automatically shifted their eyes to Penny’s desk. Penny already reached her desk and stood beside it, stopping when she felt everyone’s eyes fall on her.
The students, who were quick to point a finger at Ginnie, swiftly transferred their disapproval to the new student.
“Patricia isn’t wrong,” said one of the ssmates. “Ginnie might be poor, but nothing had gone missing until the new student arrived.”
“Goodness. Did they let in a thief here?”
“I thought she was okay, but turns out you can’t really judge a book by its cover.”
Everyone shook their heads and sighed. Not all of them gave Penny the disgusted look they cast upon Ginnie. After all, they didn’t dislike Penny that much. They found her a little cute or rather, Penny didn’t look much of a threat.
Ginnie, who was now saved, looked at Penny apologetically. If their other ssmates were quick to shift their me, Ginnie knew exactly what was happening. Yet, for some reason<b>, </b>she felt relieved that Patricia finally found someone to rece her. The relief made her sick to her stomach, but she couldn’t help it.
“You, neer! How could you steal my stuff just because I was kind to you?!” Patricia pointed a finger at Penny. “Take it out right now! That ne is a gift to me from my brother!”
The certainty in Patricia’s voice made everyone’s faces turn sour.
Penny just stared at Patricia while assessing her from head to toe. Her lips briefly hooked up when she noticed a red ink on Patricia’s fingers.
“Why are you not doing anything!?” Patricia harrumphed at theck of reaction from Penny. “Just standing there like a fool won’t do anything. Give me back my ne!”
<b>“</b>Uhm<b>… </b>what’s going on?” Suddenly, Nina’s voice was heard as she just arrived at their ssroom.
Patricia nced at her and exined to Nina the situation. After that, Patricia red back at Penny.
<b>“</b>I <b>was </b>kind <b>to </b>that girlst week because she’s a neer, but look what she did in return?<b>” </b>Patricia snorted. “What a thief. Give it back!”
Patricia stomped <b>her </b><b>feet </b>to Penny impatiently and <b>grabbed </b>her bag. The bag was still strapped on Penny’s shoulders and thus, Penny ended up twisting slightly when Patricia grabbed the side of it. “Let me <b>see </b><b>your </b>bag! Take <b>it </b>off<b>!</b><b>” </b>
“Don’t want to,” was all Penny said with a dead expression. “Hands off<b>.” </b>

77 Teacher, she stole my stuff!
This just fanned the mes as Patricia clung to Penny’s bag tighter. “You don’t want to? You stole my things and you want to keep them hidden?! Give it to me! Give me back my stuff!”
Patricia pulled Penny’s bag and, much to her dismay, Penny didn’t even budge an inch.
Still, Patricia tried and pulled once more, but this felt like she was trying to pull a boulder all on her own. How could a petite princess like her could out–strength the overly healthy Penny?
While Patricia was pulling, Penny yawned. The ss hasn’t started <i>yet</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>I </i>want <i>to </i>go home already!‘
“Penny…” Nina frowned, but her voice still sounded as if the angels were singing every time she spoke. “I know you want a lot of things to have, but stealing them is not right. Just give back Patricia’s stuff and I’m sure she won’t have to tell her parents or the school about it.”
Everyone shifted their eyes to Nina, and they quickly shook their heads.
“Nina, we know you’re kind and understanding! But this is something you shouldn’t ignore! Someone is stealing other people’s stuff.”
“That’s right! The school should know about this!”
“This is the top section of this grade! Even if Patricia decides not to report, we will!”
“Guys…” Nina pressed her lips as she cast Penny a troubled look. “Penny, quick. Just give it back and then apologize to everyone before things get out of hand. Just swear you’d not steal again.” Hearing this, everyone was still not appeased. However, they couldn’t me Nina because she had always been kind and humble, even though the Be Family was quickly climbing up the socialdder.
As for Penny, she just arched a brow at Nina, but she didn’t bother.
“Give it back! Give it back! You thief!” Patricia continued yelling, her voice consistently rose the more she tried and failed.
At the same time, their homeroom teacher finally arrived and saw the situation.
“What’s going on?”
メ
This time, Patricia let Penny’s bag go. She was panting and breaking out in sweat, pointing a finger at Penny. “Teacher, she stole my stuff!”
Hearing this, the
homeroom teacher quickly frowned.
