Pursuing Her

Chapter 3 Does She Even Have A Family

The next morning, Sophie arrived at her classroom to be told that the discipline teacher had come to look for her three times in a row.

“Soph, did you do something wrong?”

Everyone knew Sophie was a delinquent who loved getting involved in physical fights. However, no one had ever seen her fighting after she transferred to this high school. Sophie often slept in class, but almost everyone in Horington High School did the same. Horington High School was the worst high school in all of Horington, so the teachers didn’t even bother to yell at the students for sleeping in class.

“Never mind. I’ll go to his office.”

Sophie tossed her backpack onto her desk and went to the administration office.

In the administration office of Horington High School, the principal, Vincent Zeller, could barely tamp down his anger. “Sophie Tanner, how could you? I don’t mind if you have a bad reputation, but why did you beat Jack Keyes up? Do you know who he is? He’s the son of Percy Keyes, the deputy director! I can’t believe you’re bold enough to beat a government official’s son up. He has been admitted to the hospital. What are you going to do now?” Vincent was already regretting accepting Sophie in the first place.

“I’ve called your mother. You’re too good for us, so we dare not keep you here. You are free to go to any school that dares to take you in!” he concluded furiously.

Sophie didn’t utter a word at all.

Soon, Sophie’s mother, Charmaine Laird, arrived at Horington High School.

“Mr. Zeller, what happened? Did Sophie do anything wrong again?”

The moment Charmaine arrived, she didn’t ask about the details and assumed it was Sophie’s fault.

“We’re no longer capable of teaching your daughter. Please take her with you today. She has offended Mr. Percy Keyes, a deputy director in a government agency. I’m in trouble no thanks to her. I shouldn’t have taken her in in the first place!” Vincent expelled Sophie immediately without giving Charmaine any opportunity to speak.

Hearing that, Sophie spun on her heels and strode out of the administration office.

“Mr. Zeller, Sophie is still young. Please give her another chance. If she gets expelled from Horington High School, no other high school will take her in!” Charmaine pleaded, utterly flustered.
