She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 157

Sabrina had never been fond of people who talked too much, but for once, Finley’s words struck just the right chord.

Once she got into college, all her enemies, all the people she hated—gone.

That would be a whole new life.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m not that fragile. A lie is still a lie, no matter how you dress it up. If I really cared about every stupid rumor, I’d have thrown myself off a building a hundred times over by now.” Sabrina finished with a small, wry smile tugging at her lips.

Shawn had just entered the classroom when he caught sight of Sabrina’s faint smile. He felt a jolt of surprise.

Neil shrugged, unimpressed. “You don’t get it. She’s just distracting herself.”

Bruce considered this for a moment. “Maybe. If it were me, I’d skip school altogether—find somewhere to hide until this all blew over.”

Neil lowered his voice. “Hey, those things online—people are talking like they really know what happened. Do you think any of it’s true?”
