Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Feel Sorry For Her

After a while, the four people arrived at the classroom of Senior Class 8.

“Ysabelle, where is your seat?”

“Here.”

Felix sat in Ysabelle’s chair upon hearing that. Not bad. This spot is just right for Ysabelle since she isn’t a tall girl.

“And you?”

When Sophie brought Tristan to the last row, he took the seat.

Other students continued to come in with their parents, mostly in their thirties or forties. Unknowingly, they dared not breathe too loudly upon seeing Tristan.

After a while, some parents who knew each other began discussing their children’s results.

“Did you hear the news? Previously, Senior Class 8 was the second last in physics. However, the class’ performance deteriorated since a student named Sophie came.”

“Yes, I’ve heard about that. My daughter told me that Sophie is a delinquent. She has been living together with some random men since junior high.”

“How can such a student come to Senior Class 8? Since today is the parent-teacher conference, I plan to discuss it with Mr. Hayes. Our children are now in their senior year, which is a crucial year. We can’t let a rotten apple spoil the barrel! Our children’s exam results mustn’t be affected!”

“I agree. Let’s raise our concern with Mr. Hayes together.”

Since they talked loudly, other parents also heard their conversation.

With a cold expression, Tristan kept tapping the table with his index finger.

“You two should leave the room for now.”

“Okay.”

With that, Sophie and Ysabelle left the classroom.

“Soph, don’t be bothered by what they said. They will regret it upon seeing your results.”

“I don’t mind. Let’s buy some canned drinks at the canteen!”

Sophie and Ysabelle headed toward the canteen.

At two-thirty in the afternoon, the conference officially began. Derrick showed some slides to present pictures of the students since the school opened. Besides, he even thoughtfully added captions.

After Derrick finished the presentation using dozens of slides, the parents had a rough idea about their children’s performance at school.

Derrick then walked upstage to welcome the parents and explained some crucial aspects to which students in their senior year should pay attention. After some time, the long-awaited moment of announcing exam results finally arrived.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I will now distribute the students’ report cards and analyze the monthly test results with all of you.”

Before he could distribute the report cards, one of the parents stood up.

“Mr. Hayes, I heard our class has enrolled a dropout from Horington High this semester. Since when has Jipsdale Premier High become a school that accepts trash? How could the school enroll the student after even a substandard school like Horington High kicked her out? Moreover, our students are in their senior year, which is an important year. However, the arrival of the delinquent has severely affected our children’s studies. Hence, we hope that the school can expel the student.”

Derrick couldn’t help but frown upon hearing the parent’s overly offensive and impertinent remarks.

“You must be Lenora’s mom. I understand that all of you are concerned about your children’s studies. Indeed, their studies are more important than ever since it’s their senior year—”

“Mr. Hayes, you agree with me, right? In that case, why doesn’t the school expel that Sophie girl? I can’t let my daughter study in the same class with a piece of trash.”

“Ma’am, how can you make such an impudent remark? As far as I can see, you’re worse than a piece of trash.”

Felix couldn’t stand it any longer. Is this what Sophie has had to endure since she started studying at Jipsdale Premier High?

“You—” Lenora’s mother, Matilda, was pissed off. Since Lenora always badmouthed Sophie, Matilda certainly believed her daughter. “This is not just my personal opinion, right?”
