No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 280

After training, Noelle dragged her exhausted body back to her dorms. She felt as though she had been beaten up. All she wanted was a shower and to get some sleep.

She got back just before curfew. While she got water from the dispenser, she realized it had run out. If she'd known, she would've bought a drink before coming back.

"Noelle, I bought some drinks. Have a sipt."

Jessica handed her a bottle. Noelle eyed it but did not take it from her.

She said anxiously, "Noelle, I admit that I had crossed a line in the afternoon. Don't hold it against me."

Noelle took the bottle. As she was about to drink from it, she noticed Jessica's eyes glinting anticipatorily.

She put the bottle back down.

Jessica was nervous. "Noelle, why aren't you drinking? Are you still mad at me?"

"If you own up to your mistakes now, you'll still have a chance."

"Noelle, I've apologized to you just now."

She dragged Jessica over and poured the drink into her mouth. "In that case, drink this yourself."

Jessica choked and struggled, as though she was being fed poison.

The second Noelle let go, Jessica stuck a finger down her throat trying to spit the water out."

Noelle watched her coldly and asked, "What are you doing? Is the water laced with poison?"

"Even if you didn't drink the water, you won't escape it, Noelle!"
