"And you too, Gilbert. You heard me, didn't you?"
With Oliver and Louise sneering at us, Gilbert and I were forced out of the classroom to face our unjust punishment.
Gilbert whispered an apology, telling me Oliver had pressured him into writing it.
In my past life, I remembered Gilbert discussing homework with Jane, only to face Oliver's jealousy and bullying.
Once in the top ten, he'd now fallen to the bottom of the class.
I frowned and asked, "Why don't you tell the guidance counselor?"
Gilbert pressed his lips together. "It's no use. The counselor only believes what our homeroom teacher says."
"Then go to the principal and your parents."
Gilbert didn't dare, fearing retaliation from Oliver and Louise.
"Keeping quiet only emboldens the bullies!"
Students who make a big deal out of forgetting their school cap wouldn't dare to offend a teacher.
After my past life of betrayal and abandonment, I realized living for myself was paramount.
Jane pulled me aside after class, revealing Oliver had unexpectedly scored first place.
She handed me a love letter Oliver had written her.
One look at the handwriting and my heart sank - Oliver must've swapped out my test paper.
