Chapter 4 — Fake Apology

"Tonight really threatened to kill me, I hope everyone can take the exam safely, don't let anyone do stupid things out of jealousy."The group exploded. "Who is this?""The uniform looks like Nguyen Tinh Ha?""Oh my god, pushing someone before the university exam?"Doan Te Nguyet immediately objected: "The photo was taken at an angle! Don't make it up!"Chu Linh replied:"Did I say the name? What are you in a hurry?"Hua Chieu Da say nothing. But his silence was heavier than any criticism. Private messages flooded in one after another. "Even though you're at the top of your grade, you're still afraid of competition?" "Mien Mien's health is poor, do you need it?" "Seeing you tomorrow at the exam center is really unlucky." I took screenshots of each one. Recording files are backed up to the cloud. The homeroom teacher's voice announcement about the regulations is also saved. At one o'clock in the morning, Hua Chieu Da finally sent a text message. "You weren't like that before." I stared at those six words, my fingers cold. The old me would explain, cry, and beg him to believe me. Then he stopped him with a sentence: "You're too sensitive." Outside the window came the sound of a motorbike passing by. Mom knocked on the door: "Tinh Ha, are you sleeping yet?" I immediately turned the phone upside down. "You're asleep." But at three forty-seven minutes, I was woken up by a sharp vibration. Class group messages jumped to ninety-nine plus. Ha Mien Mien sent a screenshot of the post to her friends circle. "If I'm late tomorrow, don't blame anyone, I'm useless. It's just that sometimes a sentence can really make a person unable to sleep all night." The attached photo is an IV needle at the hospital. Someone asked below: "Who said that to you?" Ha Mien Mien replied: "It's okay, he's good for me." At twelve minutes past five, Hua Chieu Da sent a text message. "Mian Mien didn't sleep all night. Nguyen Tinh Ha, are you satisfied?" The phone fell onto the blanket. It was not yet dawn, my mother pushed the door open and walked in, holding in her hand the uniform she had just finished. She saw my red eyes and her face immediately changed. "Who bullied you?" As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell suddenly rang. Urgent, shrill, as if it wanted to wake up the whole building. Outside the door is Ha's mother. Behind her is Chu Linh, and there are two female students in my class who I am not close to. The security guard of the apartment complex also stood there, awkwardly explaining: "They said they were your parents and classmates, there was an urgent matter." As soon as Ha's mother saw me, tears immediately fell. "Nguyen Tinh Ha, you go to the hospital and apologize to Mien Mien with me." My mother covered me behind her back. "Who are you?" "I'm Ha Mien Mien's mother." Ha's mother's voice got louder. "Last night your daughter forced my daughter to not sleep all night, now she still crying at the hospital, saying she doesn't want to take the university exam anymore!" My mother's face darkened. "On the morning of the university exam, you brought someone to block my door?" Chu Linh immediately raised the phone. "Auntie, we just want Tinh Ha to say sorry, we won't delay too long." The lens pointed straight at me. My mother took a step forward and directly blocked her. "Put the phone down." Chu Linh was startled. "On what basis did you yell at me?" "Based on the fact that you didn't have my permission, you dialed the house number and my daughter's number." She reached for the phone on the shoe cabinet outside the door. "I'm calling the police now." Ha's mother's voice immediately became shrill: "Report it! Just let the police see how your daughter is bullying her classmates!" The neighbor in the hallway poked her head out. look. The time displayed is six hours and ten minutes. The meeting time is just over an hour away. Mom didn't argue. She called the police, stating the address, number of people and situation, then called the homeroom teacher. Can Suong listened very quickly, and after hearing it, her voice also changed. "Nguyen Tinh Ha, don't go out. I immediately contact the homeroom teacher and the teacher leading the team at the test site. My mother took me from the parking garage." Ha's mother rushed to grab the phone. My mother

Leaning away, he coldly said: "Whoever touches my daughter a little bit, I will make that person go to the police station today." At that moment, the hallway was quiet. Ha's mother did not expect her to be so tough. Chu Linh's face was pale, but she still spoke firmly: "You guys are really guilty." "The guilty person blocked the door of the candidate's house on the morning of the university entrance exam." Mom picked up my transparent document bag. "Tinh Ha, change your shoes." Ha's mother suddenly sat down on the ground, patting her thighs and crying. "Everyone, come judge! She made my daughter unable to take the exam, and still wants to take the exam herself!" The neighbors' gossip became more and more loud. The phone lens was raised again. Mom pushed me into the house, closed the door, and locked it. The sound of crying outside made the anti-theft door vibrate. "Eat two pieces of noodles first." In the kitchen, my mother stuffed the thermos box into my hand. Her hands were also shaking. "Don't be afraid, mom is here." Heat blew up, my eye sockets were stinging. In my previous life, I didn't have time to tell her what happened. This time, at least she stood in front of me. At six twenty-five, the police arrived. Ha's mother's cries immediately stopped. Outside the door came the sound of greetings. Chu Linh stammered in her explanation: "We just want her to apologize... she didn't block the door..."
