The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 999

Chapter 999

The folks of Summerfield College always seemed to carry a certain air of pride in their bones, perpetually looking down on others. Even when they were in the wrong, they would never admit it.

“So someone messed up their performance earlier?" Someone from Westerly College began to jeer. "With that arrogant, self-important air about you, I thought you were something special. But this is all you've got?"

"So the musical genius of Summerfield College isn't all that after all."

This provoked the Summerfield crowd, who began to retort: "Who are you talking about?"

Westerly College fired back: "Whoever the cap fits. It seems the top-notch students the prestigious college churns out are all hot-headed and impatient. If I didn't know any better, I'd think your cafeteria only serves jalapenos because everyone seems to be on a short fuse."

Summerfield College retaliated, “Do you have any proof that Emma messed up? If not, you'd best apologize to her right now, or we, the people of Summerfield College, will not let this slide."

Westerly College: “The top scorer says Emma messed up, so she messed up.

“Enough! Can't you ever stop?" Emma could no longer hold back and snapped at them, “Would you all please shut up?"

She was tired of hearing them repeatedly bring up her mistake.

Serena, who was standing on the side, was left speechless by the whole spectacle.

Arabella was Maestro Melody. If she said Emma messed up, then she definitely did. She was a master pianist, for crying out loud!

Even if they couldn't recognize Arabella as a master, Emma's reaction should have been enough. Yet, they were oblivious and insensitively making a spectacle of themselves.

Serena was exasperated but tried her best to stay under the radar, not wanting to draw Arabella’s attention. Arabella was known for not giving face to anyone. It would be a huge embarrassment if she exposed Serena's fake rich girl act in this large crowd.
