Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Just Like A Pest

“Sophie, I know you’re multi-talented, and I really hope that you can take part in the physics competition. But I think you should withdraw from it since Bailey’s mom really wishes for him to take part. The Dixon family has a lot of influence in our school, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to you because of this,” Derrick said with a worried expression on his face.

Taking a pause, he continued, “You’re a very talented kid. I really don’t want—”

“Mr. Hayes, I really appreciate your advice,” Sophie interrupted. She knew that her teacher wanted the best for her, and she had always held him in high regard. “Indeed, I was not keen on participating in the physics competition previously. But I think I will have to take part in it now.”

She did not like Bailey’s mother’s attitude and wanted to teach her a lesson.

“Sophie! You—” Derrick exclaimed, his brows knitted together.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Hayes! Trust me, I can handle this. Just leave it to me.”

Yet, Derrick could not help but worry. How is she intending to handle it? She’s just a student!

Even so, he did not press on and returned to his office.

Just then, Sophie received a call from Tristan.

She answered the phone after walking to the corridor.

“I’m at your school entrance now,” the man said.

Sophie froze when she heard that. What is he doing here? Classes are still ongoing. ”Mr. Tristan, what’s the matter? Class is starting soon.”

Didn’t we just part ways this morning? Did something serious happen that he has to come here now?

“It’s nothing. I tried calling you just now, but you didn’t pick up. I was worried that something might have happened to you so I came here to check on you.”

Compared to Sophie’s composure, Tristan suddenly found himself rather ridiculous.

“I’m fine.” To give the man some reassurance, Sophie repeated, “Mr. Tristan, I’m really all right.”

“I’m glad to know that. I’m leaving, then.”

“Wait.” Since Tristan had already traveled all the way there, Sophie felt that she should at least meet him for a while.

While she was walking down the stairs, she overhead Angie talking to Willow on the phone at the corner of the stairs.

“Willow, what’s the plan now? You were the one who sent the photos to me. What should we do now that the matter has blown up?”

Angie was terrified. She had only posted the photos on the spur of the moment, as she was clouded with anger.

She felt extremely unsettled at the thought of how scary Sophie was.

“Angie, although I sent you the photos, I didn’t ask you to post them on the forum, did I? Besides, nothing has happened yet. Why are you worrying in advance?” Willow was still running a fever after falling into the lake. However, she perked up at once when she heard about Sophie’s situation at school.

Almost bursting into tears, Angie exclaimed, “You don’t know how scary Sophie is!”

“That’s enough. Just relax.” Willow hung up after saying that.

The moment Angie turned around, she saw Sophie standing on the stairs, staring at her.

She dropped her phone in shock as the color drained from her face.

“S-Sophie… Don’t come over!” Angie shouted, a horrified expression on her face.

Sophie was speechless. What did I do? She looked as if she had just seen a ghost!

Angie turned around and dashed off at once. However, she tripped and fell on the stairs, as she was too flustered.

Even though she could feel a sharp pain in her knees, she ignored it and continued running.

Sophie ran after her.
