Jasper , still munching on his egg , couldn't figure it out . He wondered , " Marlon and Finnick go to the same high school and come home just as late . Why was Maeve asking Marlon , who always picks fights with her , to do this favor ? " They're so weird . This is so confusing ! " *** Harrowden High School had classes on Saturday , but Sunday was a day off , so Maeve still had to go to school today . Jasper was still picked up and dropped off by Jerrold Kerrigan , her third brother , whom Maeve had never met . Before heading out , she asked , " When are Jerry , Ced , and Tris coming back from our aunt's place ? " Marlon craned his neck to check for the bus while answering , " Our aunt runs a diner . A new residential complex just opened nearby , so they're super busy . Jerry , Ced , and Tris probably won't be back until next week . " Maeve didn't know much about their extended family . The original novel had tons of characters , some important , some not . The minor ones often disappeared after a chapter or two . Besides , readers cared more about the romance and sweet moments than the supporting characters . Anyway, Maeve went to school . It seemed that something unusual had happened at Harrowden High School today . When Maeve walked on campus , she found that many students were gossiping . Her intuition told her that this must have something to do with Corey. Sure enough , somebody well - informed had already spread the news of Corey's fight and detention through the school forum . This news created quite a stir in school . Everyone was stunned , thinking , " Corey in detention ? Students at Silverleaf High School have some nerve ! They actually sent Corey to detention ! Do they really know who they're messing with ? He's the heir of the Sadler family in Algolville! " 07:30 Chapter 22 288 Vouchers . Some senior students at Harrowden High School wanted to fight back for Corey . They thought the deeds of the students at Silverleaf High School were too despicable . Maeve felt a bit speechless at this . Normally , people who got into a fight would be kept in detention for a couple of days . But Corey actually got out so soon . He was indeed the hero of the novel . Suddenly , a quarrel came into Maeve's ears . She turned her head and saw a girl with a wavy ponytail and two other girls blocking a boy under a tree . The girl with a wavy ponytail was wearing long white stockings , revealing her two long , fair thighs . She lifted a foot and pressed it against the tree by the boy's ear with a thud , which startled all the other boys present . That boy didn't dare to look under the girl's skirt , so he could only lower his head timidly . The girl snapped angrily , " Say that again ! " The boy almost cried and pleaded , " I'm really sorry , Jordyn . I shouldn't have spoken ill of Corey . Please forgive me this once . " " I'm asking you to say that again ! " The boy had no choice but to repeat his words with a low , timid voice , " What's so great about having good grades and being handsome ? He still got arrested in the end . He skips classes every few days and always causes trouble . Corey is a bad boy . I don't know why the girls at school like him so much . They're really superficial . " Hearing his remark , the girls present instantly got furious , wanting to come up and teach this boy a good lesson . Corey was the Prince Charming of almost all the girls at school , and they didn't allow anyone to defame him . They couldn't stand to hear this boy badmouth Corey and say they were superficial . full The girl with a wavy ponytail raised her chin and looked at the boy with her eyes of disdain , sneering , " Who do you think you are to badmouth Corey ? Look at yourself . Even if Corey often skips classes , he can still ace all the tests and rank in the top . Can you do it ? " The boy blushed with embarrassment and apologized , " I'm sorry ! " 07:31 Chapter 22 " Now get lost ! " The girl put down her leg and then kicked the boy's ass . " If you dare to badmouth Corey again , I will make you pay . " Being kicked , the boy didn't dare to look back and hurriedly ran away , covering his butt . This farce only lasted for about five minutes . Those onlookers , who were recording this scene with their phones , felt that they hadn't had enough fun yet . But still , they also dispersed . Chapter 23
