Sweet Divorce

Rita rushed back to school.

When she got to the dormitory hall, she found the stairwell was teemed with people.

“The war between rivals of love.”

Some girl said as she nudged at her friend. “Who do you think is going to win?”

Her friend plucked her answer out. “Of course I hope it will be Lilly.”

Lilly?

Rita made a halt when she heard the name. She raised her eyes to the center of the crowd, and spied Nora for an instant. Nora was stopped by Lilly at the doorway of her dorm.

“You will never enter this room with me here.”

“Lilly, the school made this arrangement.” Leaning on her crutch, Nora said miserably. “I really don't have a choice.”

“You don't have a choice?” a chilly smile appeared on Lilly’s face. She grabbed Nora’s collar and jerked her. “You know how much I hate you. But still, you nagged Liam to transfer you to W university.”

Nora’s silence aggravated Lilly.

She thrust her away. “Get out of here, you’re not welcome here.”

Nora reeled back, the crowd made way for her when she fell toward them.

Rita wanted to move away too. But incidentally, Nora just plunged down right beside Rita and her crutch smacking at Rita’s left leg.

“I’m sorry, I’m so…”

Hurriedly, Nora picked up the crutch and raised her face to look at the face above her.

Her heart thumped when she saw Rita and her face became pale for an instant.

Rita just now had witnessed her indignity.

Damn it.

Nora tightened her grip at her crutch, her knuckles white.

“Rita, are you alright? I mean, your leg.” Lilly glanced at Rita’s leg, guilt in her eyes.

Her brother broke Rita’s leg once, she didn't want to repeat her brother’s mistake, whether intentionally or not.
