Chapter 10

Author: Sunflower Seeds
Wiping the cold sweat off her brow, Principal Prescott hung up the phone without even glancing at Blake, who was desperately trying to catch her eye.

She knew my family dynamics and knew my parents didn't shower me with affection, which was why she felt bold enough to target me after Blake made a single improper advance toward her.

However, she had completely overlooked the ultimate reason my parents sent me to this elite academy in the first place.

"Enough, we'll let the matter rest here."

  • I Took Over the Side Character   Chapter 11

    "No way!" Blake screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice raw."You don't get it! You've got money and status! You have no idea what it's like at the bottom! You never had to study in a cramped back room filled with cooking fumes!"If I don't get into an Ivy League school on a full scholarship, I won't have the cash to go to college at all!"Being broke... It's terrifying!"Just then, the locked roof access door was slammed open under the combined force of Elise and Vivian."Derek!" they shouted at the same time."Don't take another step!"Blake seized my jaw and forced me to face him. "Why? Why the hell do you get two girls loving you?"I gasped for air, forcing the words out, "Blake, don't be so extreme! Times have changed. There are tons of financial aid programs and scholarships now. You can go to college even if you're broke!"Society has moved forward...""What the hell do you know?!" Blake screamed back, losing his mind completely, "I don't want some average state sc

However, she had completely overlooked the ultimate reason my parents sent me to this elite academy in the first place."Enough, we'll let the matter rest here."Principal Prescott gave me an ingratiating smile and handed my phone back with utmost deference. "Derek, let's just write this whole thing off as a misunderstanding."I smoothly slid my phone back into my pocket."Write it off?"Blake falsely accused me of cheating. How can we just let it go?"Then what would you like to do, Derek?" Principal Prescott asked, clasping her hands."An apology. He apologizes to me in front of the entire student body and faculty.""Are you kidding me?"Blake

    "Because aside from fingerprints, handwriting is one of the most reliable ways to identify someone in our time."In intelligence work, verifying the authenticity of handwriting is a matter of life and death."I tilted my head and looked up at her."What if someone learns to forge it?""Then you practice until your writing is so impeccably precise that no one on earth can mimic it."The principal, Lydia Prescott, and several teachers from the honors program huddled together, comparing my exam booklet with the cheat sheet over and over again.Principal Prescott's age-roughened, raspy voice broke the silence in the room."Hmm... The handwriting is extremely similar."Blake's eyes flickered, a smirk creeping onto his lips."However, if you examine it closely, the differences are obvious. The cheat sheet is clearly a clumsy attempt at forgery.""That's impossible!" Blake shrieked, totally forgetting his sensitive, timid act. Realizing his slip-up, he immediately quickly ducked his

    I gave a half-hearted hum, but inside, I was secretly fuming.The only girl I was ever involved with was you, and even that was a total gray area.I never expected that even a century later in this era, she would once again end up helping me clean up my romantic mess.After her fight with Elise, Vivian announced to the whole school that she was going to make me regret my decision. She was determined to prove that I'd made the wrong choice by choosing the student ranked last in the grade over the student ranked first.Her way of making me "regret" it was going right back to flirting with Blake. The two of them stood outside our classroom door every single day, loudly explaining study problems. They were so noisy it practically amounted to a public disturbance.I saw Blake's face grow increasingly annoyed over time, though he couldn't completely burn bridges with Vivian either.When the final exam results were posted, I could finally walk through my front door with my head held h

    "Look who's talking," I shot back without looking up from my practice problems. "By the way, where's that precious Blake you're always protecting? Why isn't he here with you?"Did all that charity work for him not pay off?"This whole disaster had probably opened Blake's eyes to the fact that Vivian wasn't nearly as dependable as he'd assumed. If she got beaten by her parents over taking a bit of cash, his easy ticket to climbing the social ladder was looking a lot harder. So, after that, he started giving her the cold shoulder.The fallout hit Vivian hard. She plummeted from the top of the grade down to fifth place, tumbling right off her pedestal.Vivian lunged forward and tried to grab my wrist. "Derek, stop throwing a fit! Didn't you say your parents were going to beat you if you didn't hit the top ten on midterms?"It's fine, I'll walk home with you and explain everything to them."I violently yanked my hand free. "Don't bother."It was true: I hadn't quite hit the target D

    "Just wait, kiddo. I specialize in proving doubters wrong."That tractor actually ended up working after "she" fixed it, and the town kept using it for five long years after she left us.Elise truly committed to tutoring me. I used to just memorize physics formulas by heart, but she taught me a far more flexible way to break down and dissect each problem.Before dawn, we were up memorizing vocabulary, classical poetry and prose.During free periods in the morning, Elise made me grind through math and science practice papers—one full exam per hour. If I ran over the time limit, she would flick my forehead hard as punishment.Then, during the afternoons, she would go through every single wrong answer line by line.In the middle of such an intense, packed routine, I could feel my own consciousness expanding with every passing day.During that time, I bumped into Vivian and Blake a few times."No matter how hard kids in the regular track work, it's totally pointless." Blake scoffed
