I Cancelled My Dream School To Escape Their Justice Chapter 05

After what happened at the party, several relatives messaged my parents and told them to stop

playing favorites.[my scene 有点像 Nora 自己承认“我闹事了”,而中文“因为我在升学宴上这么一闹”只是叙述

事件。也稍有直译感]

My parents said all the right things, but privately, they were furious[agreed out loud, “L

“NOR). The moment they got home, they took it all out on me.

They shouted toward my room, loud enough for everyone to hear:

“Starting today, no one talks to her! Until she admits she was wrong and apologizes!”

My bedroom became a forbidden zone. Everyone walked around it.

They thought I’d crack first-just like I always had.

But days passed. My room stayed silent.

My mom couldn’t take it. She left a plate of food by my door and knocked.

“Nora, stop this. You’re only going to make yourself sick if you keep refusing to eat[£££“8±

食下去只会气坏身子”,现在把“不吃饭”这一层丢掉了]. Just apologize to your parents and Sophie-we’re family. We won’t stay mad.”

No answer.

Sophie hid her smugness and said softly, “Mom, maybe she’s still upset.

Dad’s patience snapped[+, “ê꣤—”]. He shouted toward my room:

“Don’t bother. If she wants to starve herself, let her[Good-. X”,

“, “187, it”]. We gave her an out and she’s still stubborn. No one talks to that

ungrateful brat.”

To get back at me, they even took Sophie shopping. When they came back, their hands were full of bags-clothes and shoes for her.

Sophie kicked off her old shoes right in front of my door.

“Nora,

these are my favorite pair. They’re yours now. You’ve been wanting new shoes, haven’t you? Think of it as compensation for the property agreement.”

My parents stood there waiting-expecting me to come rushing out.

Half an hour. The door never opened.

Sophie’s eyes turned red. She looked at them, sniffling: “Dad, Mom, is she still mad at me?”

Mom’s patience finally ran out.[“-A-AT*”]

Dad stormed to my door, shaking with anger. “Nora Shaw, Sophie gave you her favorite shoes! How long are you going to keep this up?”

He kicked the door open, one hand already raised[POV问题:Nora不在场,却明确知道他“准备扇我”

But the room was empty.
