NovelEnglishThe moment someone said that everyone else looked at her mockingly. Then, they began to mutter among themselves and badmouthed Bonnie.
"It's absurd how she has always looked indifferent and conceited. Did she really think she's skind of big shot?" "You got that right. She's full of herself all the time. No one could stand how cocky she is!" "Now that this happened to her, I'm going to make fun of her for this. In the future, I can also remind her about it when she starts acting arrogantly. Let's see if she can still act all high and mighty when I do that. Each of their mutterings was harsher than the last.
Avril couldn't stand it anymore. Just as she was about to stand up to take them down a peg, Bonnie held her hand and pressed it down.

"You say that, but they're going to spout harsher words if you leave them unchecked." "It'll be fine. Take a seat and put on your earphones. Then, you won't have to suffer their ramblings." Bonnie didn't wish to waste her tand energy on something like this.
"Con, Bonnie. They're so mean. Are you sure you can bear with it?" There was no way Avril could do the sthing Bonnie did. She could never turn a deaf ear to what they were saying. For that matter, she couldn't take it when someone talked about her friend this way.
Bonnie looked at her and said leisurely, "Am I right in saying that you think they've stepped over the line and that their words were very awful and infuriating?" "Exactly! I'm so pissed off that I wish I could tape their mouths shut one by one. That'll teach them to keep their traps shut." Avril couldn't confront and retort them. So, all she could do now was glare at the gossiping ladies.
"Did it ever cross your mind that they're doing this to humiliate and upset me? You would've played right into their hands if you went over there and started fighting with them. They would've succeeded in what they set out to do." Bonnie analyzed the whole thing for Avril.
Then, it hit her. She gave Bonnie a thumbs up.
"Dang! You make such a fine point! If we confront and argue with them about this, it'll mean that we care about what they say. Then, theymight just look at us the way they would idiots. In fact, they would've loved seeing us get upset, "Instead of doing that, remaining quiet is the better alternative here Let them hurl their insults at someone who didn't give a damn about it. That way, we'll rob them of the fun of doing it." The more she talked about it, the more sense she saw in what Bonnie said.
"That's the Bonnie I know. Your level of intelligence is one of a kind." Bonnie pulled her friend down and made her sit. "That's why I always say that silence is the best response. There's no need to say anything. After all, it's not like they'll listen to it." "I get it now." Avril took her seat. "I'll do as you say and keep my mouth shut." "Very well," Bonnie responded, lowered her head, and continued to go through her documents.

However, the ladies kept pestering her the way flies would. Their insults grew harsher by the minute. Il got so N bad that they were starting to accuse her of having a messed up private life. Bonnie merely wore her earphones and flipped through her documents. She didn't hear what they said at all, let alone get mad over it.
Coleman snuck in and hid by the door to peer at Bonnie. Naturally, he heard everything her classmates said about her.
Unable to hold himself back anymore, he clenched his fists and marched into the lecture hall. His tone was cold when he barked at them, "Shut up, all of you!" The moment everyone saw that he was here, they clamped up at once. After all, he was speaking up for Bonnie.
Only a few of the ladies who sat in the corner were still muttering to each other because they thought he couldn'thear them. They huddled together and whispered, "What's Coleman doing here? Did he make his way here just so he could give Bonnie a Valentine's Day gift?" "That's probably why he's here... We really shouldn't have said what we just said. "
