Chapter 6

Author: Footsteps Forest
When we got home, my dad finally couldn't hold it in anymore. His voice was serious.

"Clyde, tell me the truth. What exactly happened? Why was Camelia so sure you didn't take your last exam? Yesterday, did you go into the exam hall or not?"

I knew I couldn't keep it from them any longer.

If I didn't tell the truth now, my parents would stay in the dark, and they might even feel guilty because of their friendship with the Kesters.

"I didn't go in," I said calmly.

My mom looked shocked. "Eve

    Camelia's eyes instantly went red, and she shot to her feet. "Clyde... you... you already had guaranteed admission? You only took the exam to keep me company?"I didn't look at her."I'm sorry... I didn't know..." Camelia took a step forward, babbling incoherently. "I thought your grades were just good, so repeating a year wouldn't matter..."Seeing her look so heartbroken only made me feel more disgusted.I poured myself another drink and raised it to the classmates who had been mocking me so viciously just moments ago and who now wished they could bury their heads in the ground. "This one's for all of you. I wish you all bright futures, each on your own path."With that, I set down my glass, turned, and left, leaving Camelia with her red-rimmed eyes and Grayson with his sour expression.After the teacher appreciation dinner, I cut off all contact with my high school classmates.There was still more than half a month left before I had to report to Forande City.The next day,

    Everyone froze, staring at Mr. Baker in confusion.Camelia's smile stiffened, and Grayson's eyes flickered with alarm and suspicion.Todd was the first to blurt out, "Mr. Baker, Clyde didn't even take the last exam, Combined Science. What are you praising him for?""Didn't take Combined Science?" Mr. Baker paused, his smile turning to confusion. "What do you mean he didn't take Combined Science? Who told you that?""He said so himself!" Faith hurriedly pointed at me. "He didn't even go into the exam hall that day, and then at Camelia's banquet, he tried to fool everyone with a fake Harween acceptance letter."Mr. Baker, don't let him fool you!""A fake acceptance letter?" Mr. Baker was completely baffled. He frowned at the group of students. "What nonsense are you all talking about?"As he spoke, he unzipped the briefcase he'd brought and took out a red folder. "Clyde's acceptance letter is an official document stamped by Harween."Because he was admitted through the Physics Le

    Someone had posted a screenshot of Grayson's relationship announcement in the group chat, along with a "shipping it" sticker.[Camelia is amazing, Gray is amazing! A Mecham power couple. So jealous!][Now that's how you prove people wrong. Unlike a certain someone who bombed the exam, went missing, and even made a fake acceptance letter. Now that the results are out, he doesn't dare make a peep, does he?][I bet a certain someone is hiding under the covers crying right now. After all, repeating a year is no fun. Hahaha.]My face blank, I scrolled past and left the group chat again.Suddenly, a message from my homeroom teacher, Ryan Baker, popped up.Mr. Baker: [Clyde, where have you been these past two weeks?]Mr. Baker: [Tomorrow night is our class's teacher appreciation dinner. I have something very important to say at the dinner, so you have to be there.]I looked at Mr. Baker's message and typed out a reply.Mr. Baker was a good teacher. Throughout high school, he'd stood

"Even if you already had guaranteed admission, you should have taken the exam seriously since you'd decided to take it. You shouldn't treat the exam like a game."I turned to look my mom in the eye. "That's because Camelia kept my admission ticket and my ID."In a steady voice, I recounted everything that had happened outside the exam hall the previous afternoon, exactly as it had happened.By the time I finished, my mom was shaking with anger. "She's trying to ruin your whole life! Our families

    The phone screen showed my digital acceptance letter for the Physics Leaders Program, launched by Harween University.My information was printed clearly on it, along with the university's digital seal.Camelia froze. "Harween... guaranteed admission?"Standing beside her, Grayson twitched the corners of his mouth a couple of times before forcing out a smile. "Mrs. Jameson, did you... did you maybe pull up the wrong picture?"There are barely a handful of guaranteed admission spots to Harween in the entire state, and you have to get through several rounds of written exams and interviews."Clyde... I mean, his grades are usually good, but how could he possibly have gotten in without anyone hearing a thing...""Why not?" my dad cut in coldly. "In three years of high school, when has Clyde ever placed lower than top three in his grade on a major exam? Is it really so strange that he'd earn a guaranteed admission spot?"Camelia's eyes darted around, and she suddenly smiled, as if she

    The party was jointly hosted by the Kesters and the Fergusons, and it was certainly an impressive affair. They'd booked out the entire banquet hall of a five-star hotel.Almost everyone from our class had come, seated around several large round tables.My family was seated at the head table with Camelia's parents."Robert, Diane, Clyde! Come, have a seat!" Charles greeted us warmly.My parents smiled and made small talk with them, congratulating them on how well Camelia and Grayson had done on the exam.The pleasantries had barely ended when Camelia and Grayson came over to the head table with glasses of juice to make a toast.Camelia was dressed very formally today. She glanced at me, the corners of her lips curling into a thinly veiled sneer.Then, at the most inappropriate moment possible, she let out a sigh. "Mr. and Mrs. Jameson, I'm really glad Clyde could make it today. After he skipped his last exam yesterday, I thought he'd be too embarrassed to show his face."The mom
