Her Confidence Cost Me Everything Chapter 9
The day exam results were released, the class group chat filled with good news as classmates shared their scores and discussed where to apply.Then Connor tagged me out of nowhere."[Hey, genius. How'd you do? Share your scores with the rest of us. Even if they're bad, no big deal. You could always go study abroad like me. They don't even look at grades.]"Others piled on immediately."[Ivy's mom is a janitor. Like her family can afford to send her overseas.]""[Just retake the year with us. We'll take real good care of you.]""[She doesn't need your help. She's probably already following her mom into the men's restroom to mop floors. Bet she'll outearn all of us someday.]"These were all Bree's lapdogs. Their charges had been minor enough that they were released after a few days of police processing. The only real consequence was that they missed the exam and had to repeat the year.I reached into my drawer, pulled out an acceptance letter, snapped a photo, and posted it strai

On my way back to the classroom, I heard the sound of a police car pulling away from the school gates with Bree inside. The satisfaction was indescribable.Word spread quickly. Bree had been charged with fraud, forging official government documents, and crimes against national defense interests.With multiple charges stacked and sentencing on the harsher end, she was looking at a minimum of 3 years in prison and a permanent revocation of her civil rights.The boys who helped her steal my guaranteed admission spot were arrested alongside her as accomplices.The moment I stepped into the classroom, it erupted in thunderous applause.Nobody said a word, yet I understood. The boys in our class bullied plenty of other students on Bree's behalf over the years, and watching them get hauled away by the police felt like a weight being lifted off everyone's shoulders.When the bell rang, my classmates crowded around my desk."Ivy, are you okay?"I shook my head. "I'm fine. They took ever

Bree had not expected her usual tricks to fail so completely. She stood there, stunned.I watched her, smiling coldly. In the past, her helpless act and her talent for twisting the truth had been enough to fool a bunch of lovesick high school boys. The people sitting across from her today were interviewers from Graystone Defense University.They saw right through her damsel‑in‑distress act from the start."Sir, I did not give this spot to Bree. She conspired with our classmates and took it from me by force."The interviewer's gaze sharpened instantly.Bree nearly jumped out of her skin. "Ivy, how can you say that? You volunteered to give it to me. You can't just turn around and say I stole it."She's lying. She gave it to me on purpose so I'd commit a crime."Our classmates can back me up. Every one of them will tell you that Ivy gave me this spot willingly."The boys in the class were practically all in on it, and the remaining girls had already been threatened into silence by

Ms. Ingram was in a full panic now. She grabbed me and demanded, "Ivy, what is going on? What does she mean you weren't prepared and gave her your spot?"This is an interview for Graystone Defense University. This is not a game!"She was so frantic that I was about to explain, yet a voice from inside the interview room cut in first."Good morning, everyone. My name is Bree Callister, from Class 9, senior year. My hobbies are singing and dancing...""Hold on a moment. There must be a mistake. Isn't the candidate for this interview supposed to be Ivy Tanner from Class 9?"The room went quiet for a beat.Then Bree answered with an easy smile. "That's right. The guaranteed admission spot originally belonged to Ivy."The interviewer frowned. "Then why was she replaced?"Bree, still oblivious to the gravity of the situation, answered in a breezy tone. "Ivy wasn't prepared for the interview and figured she'd get eliminated anyway, so she gave the opportunity to someone more qualified.

Bree clearly had not expected there would be an interview. She froze on the spot, and Connor and the others looked just as blindsided.They exchanged glances, yet Bree spoke first and turned on me. "Ivy, did you know all along that guaranteed admission required an interview? Is that why you let me have it on purpose?"Over a dozen pairs of eyes locked onto me at once, practically ready to devour me whole.I forced myself to stay calm. "What do you mean I let you have it? Did I get a single chance to speak that day?"Bree faltered, and her hands slowly curled into fists.Connor stood and walked over to her. "Relax, Bree. You'll sail right through the interview. You're gorgeous, you've got everything going for you. The teachers are going to love you the second you walk in. There's nothing to worry about."Besides, Ms. Ingram just said it's easy. No need to stress.""Seriously, Bree, if someone with your looks can't pass an interview, then nobody in our class stands a chance."One

Bree's tears fell instantly.Before I could react, Connor shoved my desk over. Books spilled across the floor.He screamed at me. "What the hell did you just say, Ivy?"How can a girl be this vicious? You're rubbing salt in Bree's wounds on purpose!"What her mom does has nothing to do with her. You think she asked for a mother like that?"Say one more word, and I swear I'll slap your face in!"Connor looked ready to swing. Bree realized things were escalating too far and grabbed his arm. "Connor, I don't want to blow this up. People will only laugh at me in the end. I just want Ivy to apologize."Connor's bloodshot eyes bore into me. He said two words. "Apologize. Now."My lips quivered, yet the apology would not come out. I was too stunned.Tears kept falling, and I stood frozen in place.Bree's mother truly had a tragic life. Her debt‑ridden father forced the woman into selling herself. She wanted to run, yet she was too afraid of what would happen to Bree if she left, so
