Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 80

The doubt in Tina's eyes made Nichole's face stiffen for a moment, but she quickly replaced it with a look of hurt. "Tina, how could I possibly lie to you? Why would you suddenly ask me that?"

Tina saw Nichole's eyes reddening and could only respond, "I was just asking. Don't take it to heart."

Nichole was about to cry, so Tina took her hand affectionately. "We are best friends; you can't ever lie to us."

"Of course, I would never lie to you." Nichole nodded obediently.

"Let's go, it's time for class."

Tina, pulling Nichole, headed upstairs. Nichole grew more cautious. In any case, before graduation, she couldn't let Tina and Krystal find out she had lied, or her college life would be ruined.

Upstairs, Nichole's classroom was surrounded by a crowd, and Krystal was also looking around but, being petite, couldn't squeeze through.

"What's going on?" Tina asked as she approached.

Krystal, ever the gossip, said, "I heard the Dean is here, and everyone is watching the excitement."

"The Dean? What's the Dean doing in our class?" Tina wondered.

Nichole's heart clenched.

"It's because of the incident at the notice board yesterday. They've sent someone to investigate." Krystal's voice was tinged with excitement.

Nichole went pale.

Krystal continued, unbothered, "It must be because they think that girl doesn't deserve to be at our school, so they're going to kick her out."

Tina frowned. "But if that's the case, shouldn't the Dean go to her class? Why come to ours?"

Nichole immediately said, "Let's slip away when no one's paying attention. It's better to skip class than to stay here and be targeted."

"Agreed." Krystal was the first to respond.

Tina, however, said, "Isn't it a bit cowardly to just leave without clarifying things? We haven't done anything wrong. We shouldn’t be this scared. In front of all these people, they can't just twist the truth, can they?"

Krystal wavered a bit, but Nichole was really scared. Staying here could be disastrous if the Dean was investigating the person behind the notice board scandal.

"People with money and power are not to be messed with. They have ways to twist the truth."

Since her friends were not planning to leave, Nichole grew frantic. Were these two not thinking straight?

"If you two aren’t leaving, I'm out of here."
