Chapter 29
Sherry walked out of the class after doing this She saw Tara already waiting for her..
"Have you seen it?" Tara asked her immediately she saw her.
"Yes, let's go," Sherry said.
Tara was about to hold her hand, Sherry immediately moved back.
"Sorry I don't like people holding my hand" Sherry apologized.
She hates people holding her hand, but people think she is proud She hated it since the day Wendy whom she treated as her best friend and sister betrayed, she always held hands with Wendy too.. But she dislikes it now because it makes her feel like she is close to the person.
Tara smiled in understanding, "Okie"
Sherry stared at her, she thought Tara would think she is proud too and if she also thinks so then there is no need to be friends with her.
They walked into the cafeteria together.
The boys whistled when they saw Sherry and stared at her beautiful face..
Even the ones who came with their girlfriends couldn't resist taking a look at her twice.
The girls stared at her with jealousy and envy in their eyes.
"So beautiful," A boy exclaimed.
"Wow, she looked more beautiful than her picture that I saw"
"That is right, she is worthy of being the school belle"
"Has anyone noticed that she had never come to the cafeteria before?"
"I noticed 1+"
"I noticed 2+"
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
"Yes, I'm her boyfriend"
"Hmph, you look so ugly that she won't date you"
"I would like to be here boyfriend"
Sherry ignored the gaze people gave her and went to sit down at a quiet spot, while Tara went to the food.
Sherry brought out her phone and started scrolling through tiktok to keep herself busy while waiting for Tara, this was the first time Sherry came to eat at the cafeteria.
Tara soon arrived with their food, she sat down opposite Sherry.
"I hope you will like it," Tara said.
She doesn't like the kind of food Sherry liked so she bought some things she felt that tasted good.
"It is fine. I'm not picky" Sherry said.
They started eating silently.
Sherry soon finished eating her food, she took the coffee Tara bought and took a sip.
Suddenly, a boy walked towards their table.
"Hi," He said to Sherry shyly.
Sherry nodded.
"Uhmm Can I get your WhatsApp number?" The boy asked a little nervously and stared at Sherry's beautiful face. He blushed.
"I'm not on WhatsApp" Sherry lied without looking flustered, her expression was natural like she was telling the truth.
The boy looked stunned, "Okay" He replied and left dejectedly, he knew that she was lying but he couldn't possibly force her to give him.
Tara took a sip from her water.
"You are a bad liar," Tara chuckled.
"Whatever" Sherry said indifferently.
"Let's go, class will start soon," Tara said.
Sherry stood up and they walked out of the cafeteria together, they walked into the class.
Her course mates are also back in the class.
Sherry sat down next to Tara and waited for the next lecture patiently.
"Ah!" Someone suddenly shouted.
Some students were reading so they frowned when the person yelled.
It was Vera.
She gave them an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, but I just lost my necklace.. It is a very expensive necklace and was a birthday gift my mom gave to me" Vera announced.
The students frowned when they heard this.
Sherry smirked instead.
The show is about to begin.
The lecturer walked into the class at the same time..
"What is it?" He frowned when he saw Vera standing.
"I'm sorry sir.. I just lost a necklace worth ten million dollars in the class so i" She stared at the lecturer with a pitiful gaze.
The students gasped when they heard this.
"So expensive?"
"Who could be the thief?"
"Search everyone's bag" The lecturer announced when he heard how expensive the necklace was.
Vera's dog Matilda, the one Sherry saw putting the necklace in her bag, stood up immediately when she heard this.
"Please everyone should open their bags so we can search for them," Matilda announced, staring at Sherry with a smug face.
Hmph she would be thief soon
The search started.
They searched when it was Sherry's turn, Sherry refused to let her bag be searched.
"Miss Sherry, we just want to see if the necklace is in your bag" Vera said with a fake smile plastered on her face.
"That is right, I remembered that you were the one who left the class last, is it you that took it?" Matilda smirked triumphantly.
"You are framing me" Sherry said with a relaxed smile and added, "My bag is my privacy so you can't just search it anyhow you feel like" She said and stared at the two hypocrites with coldness in her eyes.
Vera and Matilda were scared by her gaze, they trembled but when they thought about how the necklace would be found in her bag they became fearless once more.
"Everyone allowed us to search their bags, Miss Sherry should also comply" Vera said with a gentle smile.
"Don't go too far I have been with Sherry since and we went to the cafeteria together" Tara testified with a red face.
She was so angry that her face became red.
"Who knows? You might be her partner" Matilda smirked arrogantly.
"You" Tara pointed a finger at her, a little speechless at her shamelessness.
"What about me?" Matilda stared at her.
"Okay, Miss Sherry let's not waste time anymore" The lecturer said impatiently.
Sherry complied and gave them her bag.
They searched but they couldn't find her necklace.
"It is not there" Vera glared at Matilda angrily.
"How is that possible?" Matilda screamed and snatched Sherry's bag from Vera and searched it roughly.
But she didn't find the necklace where she put it.
No! How did it disappear?
She put the necklace there herself!
She stared at Sherry and saw her staring at her with an indifferent gaze.
She was a little frightened when she saw her gaze.
Did she know that she put the necklace in her bag?
No no.
She quickly regained her composure and gave the bag to Sherry.
"So it is not Miss Sherry who took, we are sorry we misunderstood you" Vera said with an apologetic smile.
"Hmph, i told you before" Tara huffed and sat down on her seat.
"Miss Vera it is fine, I'll suggest you search your bag thoroughly or search the bag of your friend, i noticed you didn't search her bag earlier" Sherry suggested with a smile and sat down next to Tara.
"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that I'm the one who took it?" Matilda asked angrily.
"I didn't say that," Sherry said indifferently.
"You" Matilda said and closed her mouth speechlessly.
It was true she didn't say that, so if she argued with her it would seem like she is being unreasonable.
Vera walked back to her seat.
"I'll search your bag for fairness," Vera told Matilda.
"Okay" Matilda agreed.
She was sure the necklace was not with her so she had nothing to fear.
Maybe she made a mistake and put the necklace in the wrong bag.
Matilda gave Vera her bag without any concern.
Vera searched her bag and brought out the necklace.
Matilda was shocked when she saw that the necklace was found in her bag.
"T-this" She stammered.
How?
How did the necklace get to her bag?
She was sure she put it in a Sherry bag.
Did she find out and framed me?
But Matilda forgot that she was the one who wanted to frame Sherry in the first place Sherry just beat her in her own game, good for her.
