Chapter 8

Author: Nora Shaw
The group chat went silent for a moment. Then, Elias' profile picture suddenly lit up.

[Let's clear things up. If you have a video, post the video. If you have recordings, post the recordings.]

[Elias is right. We can't let Jasmine keep making things up.]

Before long, the rest of the class started heading to Jasmine's live stream on their own.

The mood in the comment section changed instantly.

[Jasmine is lying.]

  • Let Them Dare   Chapter 10

    The sky was bright blue on the first day of term at Cromwell University. I stood at the entrance to the university, watching the old buildings glow gold beneath the sunlight.Students were taking pictures, chatting with each other, and dragging suitcases along the stone paths.Nobody knew me, and I did not know anyone.My phone buzzed. It was Sheila: [Did you get there?]Me: [Yep.]Sheila: [How is it?]Me: [Great.]Sheila: [That's good. Take care of yourself over there.]Me: [You too.]She sent me some updates about Jasmine. Her mother tried to send her abroad, but the plan fell through. She was also being ostracized at her new school.I read the messages but left them unanswered. I no longer hated her. More importantly, I no longer cared about what happened to her.My phone buzzed again. This time, it was a notification that money had been deposited into my bank account. Elias had transferred 50,000 dollars. The note said: [Study materials.]He still owed me money for all

    Elias stood there, completely stunned."You know, your mom came to see me once. She told me not to hold you back. After Jasmine transferred here, you started complaining that I was annoying and that I was always ruining everyone's fun. "I never said anything because I thought you were just temporarily blinded by her. I thought you would eventually come to your senses."I paused."You did. You just did it too late." With that, I turned and headed toward the gate."Larissa!" he called after me.I did not stop."Larissa! I'm sorry!"I still did not stop.Elias' voice grew fainter behind me until the crowd swallowed it completely.I never looked back. Not once.After I boarded the plane, I found my seat and settled in. My phone buzzed with a message from Elias: [Larissa, I know you don't believe me, but I really know I was wrong.]I did not reply.My phone buzzed again.[I went through our old messages. Every morning, you would text me, 'Get up.' Every night, you would ask,

Was being in the holding room not enough?][You'd better back off. Keep this up and you might drag your parents into this too.][The video is already out, and you're still pretending?][Ryan, you said Larissa hinted that you should tear up her exam admission slip? Are you willing to confront her about it?]Wayne immediately dropped the video link into the comments.[Watch it yourself. 'She pressured Jasmine to give in'? She backed off on her own. And the admission slip? Ryan was the one who tore it.]J

    Three days later, the final exams were over.The class group chat, which had been silent for three days, suddenly came alive again.However, almost every conversation was about how badly everyone thought they had done or where they were planning to go to repeat a year.As we were chatting, someone suddenly dropped a link to a live stream in the group. I clicked on it. Jasmine was on camera, crying so hard she looked like her heart had been shattered."I only wanted to give my classmates a beautiful memory, but Larissa..."She broke off with a sob, and tears rolled down her cheeks."I know I shouldn't have played that game right before our final exams, but I really only wanted everyone to have some fun. I never expected things to get so bad, and I certainly never expected Larissa to put all the blame on me."Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she were struggling to breathe.Comments floated across the screen.[Isn't that the school beauty who hid everyone's exam admission

    There was a soft plop as a single exam slip slipped out from beneath Jasmine's oversized hoodie and landed on the ground. Then another followed, and another, until all 44 remaining exam slips came tumbling out one after another, as if someone had knocked over a line of dominoes.Everyone froze. The students, the parents, and even the police officers could only stare in disbelief as the slips continued to spill onto the ground.Mr. Rogers glared at Jasmine."What were you thinking? You hid all the slips in your clothes and made everyone crawl around that bus searching like idiots. And now? Are you happy? You just ruined the entire honors class."Jasmine collapsed to the ground, her mouth opening and closing as she tried to explain, "No... No, that is not what happened..."The officer stepped in front of her. "Jasmine. You are coming with us.""Why?" Her voice tightened, trembling with tears that had not yet fallen. "I didn't break any laws.""You deliberately hid your classmates'

    The moment I finished speaking, the entire entrance fell silent.Everyone was staring at me—my classmates, their parents, the security guard, and even a few proctors who happened to be passing by.Elias was the first to react. "You... What did you just say?""I said I'm not going to St. Aldwyn University." I looked straight at him."When did you apply?""Last year.""Why did you never tell me?"I smiled faintly. "Did you ever give me a chance to?"Elias froze. For the first time, he seemed to realize how long it had been since he had actually sat down and listened to me.Every time I tried to talk to him, he either complained that I was always telling him what to do and pushing him to study, or accused me of deliberately targeting Jasmine.One of the parents rushed over and grabbed my arm. "Listen, if you already have an offer from Cromwell University, then give your spot to my child!"I lowered my eyes to the hand gripping my arm, then looked back at her. "Ma'am, that early
