Chapter 666
Stung by the slap, Queena leaped from Hamilton’s back and threw herself at Kristin.
Kristin immediately pounded on Marico’s back. Marico dodged, then circled around behind them, and Kristin deftly grabbed Queena’s tail. She pulled once, but it didn’t come off. She pulled again, but it was still firmly attached.
“She’s cheating! She tied her tail to her pants!” Kristin yelled, exasperated.
Marico shot her a look. “Who cares if she’s cheating? Pull harder!”
Kristin nodded determinedly and gave a mighty tug. With a loud rip, the cloth strip came off, and along with it, Queena’s pants came down…
Queena let out a wail and quickly pulled her pants up.
“Kristin, I’ll get you for this!”
Both teams had been so focused on each other that even though Kristin had gotten Queena’s tail, they didn’t rank high enough to win any prizes. But she was still ecstatic.
Next was lunchtime. Marico went off to find a place for a smoke.
Kristin was eating a small cupcake when Queena suddenly ran over and snatched the hair clip from her hair.
“Queena, what are you doing? Give it back!”
Queena glared at her and ran off. “If you want your clip back, come and get me!”
Kristin wasn’t one to back down. She put down her cupcake and chased after Queena, all the way to the school’s storage room. Queena tossed the hair clip into a dark corner. As Kristin rushed to pick it up, Queena ran out and slammed the door shut.
“Stay in there, Kristin! When it gets dark, a black cat will come in and bite you!”
As soon as the door closed, the room was plunged into darkness.
Terrified, Kristin pounded on the door. “Queena, let me out!”
“Hmph, I bet you regret messing with me now, don’t you?” “Open the door!”
“No way!”
Kristin banged a few more times, but hearing no response, she guessed Queena had left. She looked around at the pitch-black supoundings, her fear growing, and tears started to well up in her eyes.
“Mommy! Mommy!”
Penelope had taken Hubert to the emergency room, and only after confirming he was fine did they return to the school They could have gone straight home, but she was worried about Kristin,
When they arrived at the playground, the parent-child event was just about to end.
Penelope scanned the area but
couldn’t see Kristin, Marico, or Hamilton. She first asked a teacher if they had left early, but the teachet said no parents had left with their children yet.
“Mom, we checked the classroom and asked our classmates. No one has seen Kristin,” Hubert said, his voice laced with worry.
Penelope searched the area again herself, but there was no sign of Kristin. She was about to ask the teacher to check the security cameras.
“I think I know someone who might know where Kristin is,” Julian said, stroking his chin.
Hubert quickly asked who, and Julian pointed at Queena.
Penelope looked over and caught Queena glancing furtively in their direction. When Queena saw them looking at her, she guiltily turned away and went back to playing with her friends.
Worried about Kristin, Penelope hurried over to question Queena.
Queena shook her head. “I haven’t seen her.”
Penelope frowned. “I’ll ask you one more time. Where is Kristin?”
“I told you, I don’t know! Are you deaf?”
“You must have hidden Kristin! Tell us where she is!” Hubert shouted at Queena, frantic.
Seeing that all her classmates were looking at her, Queena immediately put on a pitiful expression.
“Why do you all think I hid Kristin? You’re just bullying me!”
