Semua Bab She Heard Nothing: Bab 1 - Bab 9

A tall figure loomed over me, and Mr. Jones' stern voice came from above my head."Let me check!"As his hands reached for my pockets, I continued acting like I was unconscious, but I scoffed in my mind. 'You're done for, Bella!'My pockets were completely empty.-No one knew that when I had thrown myself straight onto the ground just moments ago, I had taken advantage of the chaos caused by everyone’s startled cries. While no one was paying attention, I had quietly stuffed the two candies into my pants.From the very beginning, I wanted to nip her accusations in the bud.Above me came Mr. Jones' thunderous roar."There, where's the evidence you spoke of? How dare you publicly speculate and slander your classmate? You've disrupted orientation, and made a mockery of everyone present! Is this some form of rebellion, Sue?"Bella trembled, her eyes instantly turning red. This was what she was the best at doing, using her pitiful, frail appearance to win everyone's sympathy.Her

"Doesn't it ever get tiring?"I shouted, "That's not true!"Mr. Jones' face turned livid as he walked over to me."You're coming with me, Anderson."He took me to the other side of the field and lectured me for a full ten minutes, arms folded across his chest."You need to keep your head on straight and stop thinking all that nonsense, Anderson. This is a team effort, and being selfish is only going to bring everyone down."And so, I was punished with extra training, doing five sets of squats, three sets of push-ups, and two laps of frog jumps.For the next few days, Bella was completely trusted by everyone, not a single soul questioning her words.All she needed to do was say "I heard her complaining in her heart", and everyone would look upon me with disdain.She began slandering me without restraint.Mr. Jones' patience with me was completely exhausted, and he started assigning me all kinds of extra drills.Under the blazing sun, I stood on the scorching field again and a

Everyone stared intently at the two of us.As instructed, we walked to the center of the field and sat down back-to-back, just far enough so that there was no way either of us could peek at the other's paper.I rested my pen on the paper, before thinking about it and writing the words 'Justice is blind' upon the piece of paper."Time is up," Mr. Baxter said, raising his hand. "Now hand me your paper, Miss Anderson."I stood up and folded the piece of paper before placing it in his hand."Alright, Miss Sue, you go first," Mr. Baxter said calmly. "You're the one who first claimed to be able to hear Miss Anderson's voice, after all, so tell us. What did she write on that piece of paper?"Bella's expression was that of complete confidence. She tilted her head, her voice filled with pride and arrogance as she said, "I'll give you one last chance, Lauren. This is your last chance to admit that you hate me, and to tell everyone that you faked that recording of me in front of everyone.

"The facts have been put to the test, and the evidence is conclusive. The circumstances are extremely serious."I am hereby announcing the following disciplinary measures:"First, for deliberately spreading malicious rumors on campus, bullying her classmate, and disrupting the order of instruction, Miss Bella Sue will receive a major disciplinary demerit, which will be permanently recorded in her academic record!"Second, she is disqualified from receiving any grades or evaluations for this orientation program, disqualified from consideration for incoming-student honors, and barred from applying for any school-level awards or honors!"Third, her parents will be notified and required to come to the school immediately, so that they can take her home for disciplinary action! She must also write a formal letter of self-reflection, and publish it for the entire school to see!"Bella's eyes widened in shock, and she crumpled to the ground, sitting there in a defeated pile.Then, Mr. Ba
