CHAPTER EIGHT: SOWING DISCORD

"Ariel.." Ivy muttered the name,her voice filled with immense hatred. She looked around the class and noticed people giving her strange gazes. Some were filled schadenfreude while others were filled with mockery. Ivy felt so cold,as if her body had been immersed in an ice cellar. The feeling was too uncomfortable and overwhelming.

"Ivy ,Ivy!" Ivy felt someone tapping her,which snapped her out of her reverie.

"Huh?" She turned to look at her deskmate who was looking back at her in confusion.

"Are you okay? I kept talking to you but you were so lost in thought ." her deskmate Yvonne explained.

"Oh,I'm fine. I'm going to use the washroom first." Ivy excused herself and left hurriedly.

Phew! Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief. Just now,when she net Ivy's contorted face and sinister eyes,she almost felt like she was looking at a monster face to face. But when she turned to look at her again,she found that her face had returned back to normal. She even had her own doubts,perhaps her eyes were playing tricks again?

"Jeez! did you see how contorted her face was?" a classmate asked,shivering subconsciously,after Ivy had left the class.

"Yes,it was fucking scary! could she have been putting on a disguise all this while?" Another guy from the back row asked in confusion.

"Serves her right,she's always been overly conceited." Jessie,an archenemy of Ivy mocked gleefully. Yes,from the start,Jessie has always had the feeling that Ivy uses a disguise to get what she wants.She seemed so pretentious by acting pitiful all the time. Jessie hated pretentious people the most.

Ivy,who ran into the washrooms and slammed the door shut. She looked at her contorted face with a sinisterexpression in the washroom mirror then screamed at the top of her voice. When she finished venting, she washed her face and adjusted her twisted expression to a normal one . Suddenly,an idea struck her. She smiled viciously.

"Ariel,dont blame me ,to get rid of you,I must ruin your reputation. ' she said while smiling. Ivy had been having the urge to make Ariel disappear from the school for sometime now.

While students were in class,a thread slowly spread over the school forum. It was posted by an anonymous account. This was the content of the post:

"Ariel,the newly appointed campus belle,turns out to be the the Young miss of the renowned Hovstad family in Ocean City. It is said that shevwas sebt to the countryside at the age of five because she was considered a jinx. In the countryside, she kept causing triuble in every school she was enrolled in. With her poor performance and beating students up,she was always forced to transfer to different schools. What a troublemaker! Also,that clearly means she is Ivy's sister,why do you think she hid that fact from people? Moreover,with her grades, do you guys think she is eligible to enter the mighty Anderson high school?"

This thread suddenly caused a sensation in the entire Anderson high school.

Flow with the Wind: Tsk,to think that I once saw her as my goddess. She's so despicable.

Your Mom: Hmph, who knew she'd be that kind of a person? I feel disgusted just thinking about her.

Pretty Kitty: Hey,does that mean she came to Anderson high school using the backdoor?

Lassie: Of course,if not,what other way?

Doll: Guys,what if it's just a rumour?I don't believe she's that kind of person.

Flow With The Wind: Hey @Doll, have you been sent by her or what?What's your relationship? Hmph, get lost ,brat!

Maya,whose user ID was Doll,was so angry that her nostrils flared. She was just trying to speak up for Ariel,her desk mate. Why were people cussing her out ? She angrily logged out and decided to take a nap on her desk, not before glancing at the sleeping Ariel on her left,who was still oblivious of the storm on the school forum.

In stream A,people were surrounding Ivy,and she was so happy since she's always wanted to be the only one who'll always be in the limelight.Her lips curled up in pride.

'See? she only needed to hook her finger and all the people would be fawning over her' she thought conceitedly.

"Ivy,why didn't you tell us that Ariel was your sister?" Yvonne her desk mate asked.

"I initially wanted to tell you guys but she..." Ivy choked on her words while narrating.

"She must have threatened you,right?" Velma, Ivy's best friend,asked coldly. She was impatient. She found Ariel despicable. How could she threaten her blood sister not to reveal their blood relationship?

"No,my sister is not that kind of person,she was just afraid that people would question how she entered Andersoj high with her grades. " Ivy shook her head continuously while wiping the nonexistent tears from the corners of her eyes. By saying this, Ivy was implying that Ariel really entered Anderson high school using the back door,something that the students in the school found it uncouth. She was secretly delighted just thinking about how many people would loathe Ariel because of this.

"She's always bullying you but you are still speaking good of her,you're too good Ivy and that's why she uses that to her advantage. Don't worry,I'll find a way to teach her a lesson for you" Velma patted Ivy's back as a means of offering her comfort.

" But what if she gets hurt? Ivy asked worriedly while tugging at Velma's hand.

"Don't worry,I know what to do " Velma patted Ivy's shoulder in assurance then swaggered off with her group. While Velma was leaving, she didn't turn back,otherwise,she would have met Ivy's victorious and gloating smile.

"Ariel,you don't know what awaits you today.." Ivy gave a low maniacal laughter. After some time,painful shrieks could be heard coming from the ladies' washrooms.
