One of the other girls sneered , “ Dwight’s dad was a drug dealer , right ? ”
Alina nodded . “ Yeah , he’s the son of a drug dealer . His mom’s blind , and he has a sister in middle school . Their family situation is pretty terrible , but with a drug – dealing father , a blind mother , and a struggling family , it only makes me want to win him over even more . It feels like a challenge . Ha ! ”
Alina and the girls around her all laughed , their voices wobbling with amusement , mocking Dwight’s family .
Halsey’s expression hardened . She turned off the tap and glared at Alina and the others with her striking almond eyes .
“ Are you done laughing ? ”
Her sudden voice caught Alina and the others off guard .
Alina looked over at Halsey , quickly recognizing her . “ Well , well , it’s the famous Halsey . What does our conversation have to do with you ? ”
Halsey furrowed her brow . “ You shouldn’t be mocking others . You can’t use someone’s
pain as your joke . ”
Halsey had been to Dwight’s house , and despite the difficult circumstances , it was a warm
home . His mother and sister were kind – hearted and loving .
The place was dark and damp , but Dwight had grown up there , and the crude words from that drunken man – calling him a “ bastard ” that night – spoke volumes about how hard Dwight’s life had been .
You don’t have to love someone , but you should never hurt them .
Halsey couldn’t tolerate Alina leading the group in ridiculing Dwight like that .
Alina , unbothered , smirked and gave Halsey a once – over . “ I heard you’ve been chasing

after Dwight yourself . Looks like his charm is pretty strong , seeing as he managed to attract a rich girl like you ! ”
Halsey wasn’t pursuing Dwight , but that wasn’t the point . She didn’t owe them any explanations .

She stepped forward , her tone calm but firm . “ Whether I’m chasing after Dwight is none of
your business . But I do know that since you can’t have him , you’re just being sour about it . ”
Alina’s expression shifted immediately . Halsey had struck a nerve . Alina had had feelings
for Dwight for a long time , but now that she couldn’t get him , she resorted to bitterness .
Seeing as her deepest secrets had been revealed , her face flushed with embarrassment and anger . She clenched her fists tightly .
Halsey ignored Alina , grabbed her handbag , and turned to walk away .
But just then , Alina’s voice came from behind . “ What’s wrong with what I said ? Dwight’s
just the bastard son of a drug dealer . He should count himself lucky that I even glanced his
way ! ”
Halsey froze mid – step , then turned around and walked straight up to Alina . “ Say that again . ”
Alina , still full of arrogance , sneered , “ I said Dwight is— ”
Before Alina could finish , Halsey reached out and shoved her .
Alina stumbled backward , nearly falling to the ground . She quickly regained her balance , her face twisted with fury . “ How dare you push me ! You’ll regret this . Girls , get her ! ”
Alina signaled to the other girls , who quickly rushed toward Halsey .
Though Halsey was small , she was strong . As Alina reached for her face , Halsey yanked Alina’s long hair and slammed her to the ground .
“ Have you heard about respect ? If you haven’t , I’ll teach you . ”

“ Argh ! Halsey , let go of me ! ”
The two of them tumbled on the floor , struggling fiercely as the other girls closed in ,
attacking Halsey .
The scene descended into pure chaos .
