Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Finally Understand What It Means to Be Truly Isolated_1

”Excellence High School is also good, it’s considered one of the best high schools around McKinney, besides No. 1 Middle School. The principal there saw my grades and agreed to transfer me there, directly into their rocket class, which is also their best class in senior year...”

Wenny Taylor spoke rapidly, as if fearing the girl opposite her wouldn’t be willing to listen, and she spilled out everything she wanted to say like a string of firecrackers.

”I just went to the school to handle the transfer procedures, and the paperwork is already done.”

Nathalie Quinlan leaned back in her chair, propping her body up with one hand and half-closing her black eyes, not showing any intention of interrupting, quietly listening to what she had to say.

Seeing her like this, Wenny Taylor relaxed quite a bit, her tensioned shoulders slowly dropping as she said in a low voice, ”I didn’t say goodbye to Mr. Sullivan and my classmates; I only called you out here.”

After what had happened, she really couldn’t face the people from Class A.

Since that day, although people in her class didn’t outwardly exclude her, neither Justin Wafford, Jhovany Sullivan, nor Clerent Miller cared to deal with her anymore...

The classmates who were previously friendly to her one by one became distant, and that’s when she truly understood what it meant to be isolated by her classmates.

Isolation is when you’re outside the classroom and hear laughter and chatter from time to time, but as soon as you walk in, everyone goes back to their seats with stern faces, looking at you with guarded eyes... That feeling, where nobody hits or insults you, yet you experience true solitude.

Wenny Taylor thought about the past few days and felt a painful twist in her heart, but she was very clear that she couldn’t wholly blame her classmates for ignoring her.

”The words you told me that day, I’ve thought them over well, and I was wrong about what happened before. I... I shouldn’t have spread rumors on the school forum that I was being bullied by my classmates, hurting everyone’s feelings. Actually, Clerent Miller and the others took good care of me. I didn’t talk much in class and everyone always thought of ways to chat with me and include me in activities. I...”

Nathalie Quinlan slightly furrowed her brows, her black eyes holding back sharpness and impatience, interrupting her, ”What’s done is done, there’s no use telling me this now.”

There’s no such thing as a regret medicine in this world, nor can saying ”I know I was wrong” after hurting someone make the hurt as if it never happened!

She had no right to forgive Wenny Taylor on behalf of anyone in Class A.

So Wenny Taylor telling her all this was meaningless!

Wenny Taylor looked up, met the indifference in her eyes, and her eyes reddened silently, as if about to cry. She quickly raised her hand to wipe her eyes, put on her black-rimmed glasses again, and calmed herself down, saying, ”Well, let’s not talk about this. Nathalie, when I was at the academic affairs office handling the transfer, I saw a lot of schools from No. 1 Middle School trying to recruit you. I heard you applied for the Chinese Medicine program at Tsinghua University. Tsinghua’s best program isn’t Chinese Medicine, but the clinical program where Professor Adelle is, that’s the ace program of Tsinghua. Your grades are too good to ’waste’ on Chinese Medicine...”

”We’ll see,” she said, her attitude quite indifferent.

Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, Wenny Taylor knew she wasn’t listening, gave a wry smile, and finally got to the point, pushing the voice recorder towards Nathalie and saying, ”I didn’t lie to you that day in the principal’s office, it was Ghania Quinlan who instigated me to post on the forum accusing you of fighting. I asked my dad for help to find the call log from that night with her, and I’ve copied it on this voice recorder, you can have a listen.”
