Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 One Against Five

“Haven’t you heard about how one must honor one’s bet? If Soph was the one who lost today, would you still say the same?” Ysabelle clicked her tongue, thinking, What double standards they have!

Queenie bit her lip, having never felt so humiliated before.

She really could not bring herself to prostrate before Sophie and apologize to her.

“What’s the matter? Queenie, weren’t you really confident earlier?”

Sophie’s tone was still as nonchalant as ever, but the expression on her face sent chills running down others’ spines.

In the end, Queenie steeled herself and kneeled down before Ysabelle.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”

“Louder. I can’t hear you.” Every time Ysabelle thought about how Queenie had ambushed Sophie, she felt reluctant to forgive Queenie.

“I’m sorry.”

Right then, Willow appeared. She walked over to Queenie and helped the latter up.

“Sophie, you’re going too far.”

Upon seeing Willow, Queenie burst into tears. She truly had never experienced humiliation like that before.

“Don’t cry anymore, Queenie. I’ll bring you back to the classroom first.”

Sophie did not even want to bother herself with Willow. Who does she think she is to challenge me?

In the meantime, Cyro, who had come to find Sophie, witnessed everything.

With a slight turn, Queenie immediately spotted Cyro. Promptly, she ignored everything and everyone else and ran toward Cyro.

“Cyro, you saw what happened, right? Sophie, she—”

“Queenie, didn’t I already tell you that Sophie has nothing to do with this? I’m the one who has fallen for her. Stop picking on her in the future. I won’t forgive you the next time you do this.”

Initially, Cyro had fallen for Sophie’s attractive looks, but after watching her basketball performance, Cyro was starting to fall for her entirely.

He had never seen a girl play basketball that well before.

Back then, he was interested in Queenie because she was good in basketball and clicked with him.

Yet, it seemed like Queenie’s skill was nothing compared to Sophie’s.

Queenie burst into tears again. How can he do this to me?

Queenie was aggrieved. “Cyro, how can you do this to me?”

“Stay away from Sophie from now on. If I find out that you’re trying to play dirty tricks on her again, I won’t let you off.”

With that said, Cyro left. He did not even spare Queenie one last look.

“Willow, why is he doing this to me? How can he do this to me? I’ve given him my innocence, but what did he do? He abandoned me after learning about Sophie.” Queenie sobbed miserably, her eyes red from her bawling.

Willow hugged her shoulders.

“Don’t you know what kind of person Sophie is? She has always been like this. She always covet what was not hers. It doesn’t even matter if she likes it.”

“You’re right. This is all Sophie’s fault. I won’t let her off the hook so easily.”

“What can you do to her? Forget this, Queenie. You’ll meet someone better in the future.”

“Forget this? How can I forget this? Willow, she’s your little sister. You’re not telling me that you’re on her side, are you?”

“She has never thought of me as her sister. Queenie, you’re my best friend; of course, I’d be on your side. No matter what you do, you have my support.”

“Willow—” Queenie was moved by Willow’s words, but the smile on Willow’s face when Queenie was not looking was a contemptuous one.

What an idiot Queenie is. I can’t believe I thought about having her deal with Sophie. Sophie ended up crushing her like an ant. Sophie’s no longer the same as before. Nevertheless, no matter how much she changed, I’ll still end her.

“Soph, you’re amazing! If you’re a guy, I would’ve married you.” Ysabelle was still thrilled by the earlier event even after they returned to the classroom.

“Don’t do something foolish like that next time,” Sophie said. She was talking about how Ysabelle had shielded her from the basketball.
