A Disgrace
Her friend tugged her to the notice board outside the Maths building. “Look at this! What do you call this? These are images of Lu Liye and you making out in the maple forest! What are you trying to do? When have you become an item with that boy? Don’t you know that he already has a girlfriend?”
“I’m not fooling around with him!”
She fiercely denied as she stared at the pictures on the notice board with gritted teeth. “I only got to know him when I went to the gathering that you’d organized!”
“Gathering?” Her friend was stunned to hear that. “But the chap I found for you wasn’t Lu Liye!”
“It wasn’t him? Then why did he go for the party? Anyway, that’s not important. Most importantly, I’ve nothing to do with him!”
She rushed up and was about to tear the images away from the bulletin when someone dashed ahead of her, grabbed the pictures and shredded these into pieces angrily.
And this person was none other than… Li Mi!
With her eyes full of hatred and hostility, her friend sneered, “Shameless!”
“Li Mi…” Right there and then, she felt so wronged. “Let me explain for the last time, I’ve nothing to do with Lu Liye! This kiss was a joke!”
“A joke?”
Furious, her friend threw the photo scraps at her face. “Shameless vixen!”
“Li Mi, what do you think you’re doing?!”
Su Yunhua hurriedly tugged Chi Yi behind her protectively as she glared at their friend. “Let me warn you, don’t try anything funny here. Before we find out the whole truth, you better watch your words!”
Their friend merely threw them a fierce glower, turned around, and walked off abruptly.
As she stood behind Yunhua, she felt a chill all of a sudden.
Grabbing her bestie’s arm, she asked helplessly, “Do you believe me?”
“That goes without saying! Who else should I believe except you?! That’s enough, let’s go! Ignore tht Li Mi, it’s up to her to trust us!”
………
Before long, the form teacher got wind of the incident regarding the photos.
After school, she was naturally ‘invited’ to the school office for a good ‘tea talk’.
“Tell me what happened, and be honest here!”
The form teacher threw the stack of the said pictures in front of her.
The photos were all about her intimate act with Lu Liye at the maple forest.
“Chi Yi, do you know that you’re still a student?! The college entrance exams are approaching and look at what you’ve done! You should be spending your energy on your studies instead of playing a fool. Worse, you got into a relationship at such a young age! Look at what happened now, this is so disgraceful! Now, everyone in school knows you as the scandalous girl from Class Five!
Her words were stinging, indeed.
“Teacher! I admit that I’m not studying as hard as I should be, but I’ll not admit that I’m scandalous, or a disgrace! I’m not in any relationship!”
She was insistent.
“Are you not going to admit your fault?” the teacher sneered. “If so, then I have no choice but to invite your parents over for a good talk! Ask him over tomorrow morning, I need to speak to him!”
“Teacher…”
The girl scowled unhappily. “Do you need to get the parents over for such a small matter? I’m an adult now, I can handle this issue by myself!”
She knew she would not escape her uncle’s wrath if he was to find out about this! In the worse case scenario, he might really send her away to the States!
“The kids grow up too fast, too soon, nowadays! Enough is enough, get your guardian over to my office tomorrow! You can go back now!”
The teacher was not interested in her explanations, and simply waved her out of the door!
What a headache!
