Chapter 7

Penulis: E. L. Knox
I didn't go anywhere during the two months of summer vacation. Instead, I only concentrated on studying Ethan's notes.

Mom couldn't stand seeing me like that anymore and asked worriedly, "You don't have to study so hard, do you, honey?"

I didn't even look up as I answered, "I want to get into Hareford University, so yes!"

"Hareford?" Mom asked in shock.

"Yes! I have to get in!"

…

Just after the start of my senior year, I heard an even more exciting piece of news—Ethan had won first prize in the international math competition and had been admitted into MIT in advance.

This time, the whole school wasn't just shocked but completely floored.

"Holy cow! Ethan turned out to be an actual genius!"

"I used to mock him before, but looking back on that now, I was the real idiot!"

"He's gone to MIT while we're still struggling out here. Comparing ourselves to others really is a recipe for misery!"

I sent Ethan a message as soon as I heard the news.

"Congratulations, Mr. Genius!"

    Ethan sent me a video call invitation.When I picked up, he said, "Congratulations, future Hareford student.""Thank you, MIT genius," I replied cheerily."Is there any gift you want?" he asked."You."The words slipped out of my mouth without thought.He was stunned for a moment, after which he smiled and said, "Sure."It was my turn to be dazed. "Huh?"He looked seriously at me. "I said, 'Sure.' Will you be my girlfriend, Emma?"I instantly flushed red. "W-Why are you suddenly—"He cut me off. "It's not sudden. I've been waiting for this day since the first time you asked me to tutor you.""Then why didn't you say anything before?"He raised an eyebrow at me. "Didn't you say you'd discuss it after getting into Hareford? Well, you've now made it. Do you not want to be my girlfriend?""I do! Of course, I do!" I replied loudly.He smiled. "My mother has cooked a feast and is waiting for your arrival."I was stupefied. "Your mother?""Yes. She's been wanting to meet you."

    After that day, Jack and Sarah went viral on social media.The caption of the trending video was very attention-grabbing. "Riveria High School heartthrob crushed by MIT genius in public. Young lady fights back assertively."The number of views it received exceeded a million overnight, and the comments section was filled with positive comments."Hail our queen!""This couple is perfect for each other!""The wealthy heir turned out to be so pathetic."Jack was so angry that he made a post on social media. "Some people should just wait and see who exactly actually makes it into a Vine League university!"I sent a screenshot of the post to Ethan. "He's lost it.""How childish," Ethan replied immediately."Aren't you also watching the drama unfold?""Focus on your studies."I smiled and flipped through my university entrance exam exercise book. There were still six months left until the university entrance exams.My goal was very clear—get into Hareford University and also ensur

    The next day, I received a call from Riveria High School. The principal, Howard Letterman, personally apologized to me and invited me back to school.I refused him outright. "I'm afraid a humble student like me is a poor fit for a sophisticated school like yours, Mr. Letterman."After hanging up on him, Mom and I went to Linkon High School.After completing the necessary paperwork, I was strolling around the school when I suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.Ethan was sleeping against a tree, and the sunlight was shining on his face through the gaps in the leaves.I walked over, calling out, "Hey! Wake up."He opened his eyes and was stunned to see me. "Why are you here?"I sat down next to Ethan. "I transferred here. How about we make a deal, Ethan?""What deal?""Teach me math for 200 dollars an hour," I offered outright.He snorted. "Do I look like someone who's short of money?"I gazed solemnly at him. "I'm aware you're amazing, and I also know why you've given up

    I felt chilled to my core.I enunciated each word slowly as I said, "I didn't cheat. It's the teacher who slandered me."Mom was even more furious. "Are you still trying to make excuses? Would the school slander you for no reason?"I sneered. "Yes, I know. In your eyes, the teachers are all saints, and I'm the only one who's trash.""You—"I roared back, "Enough! I'm not staying another day under this roof!"I promptly turned and ran, turning a deaf ear to Mom's shouts from behind me.Tears blurred my vision. I didn't know how long I ran, but I eventually stopped in the doorway of an internet cafe.I walked in and turned on a computer, but I didn't know what to do once I was seated.In the end, I took a math exercise book out of my school bag.I couldn't slack off. Even if the whole world didn't believe in me, I would still believe in myself. This was my life and nobody else's!Several people nearby looked dumbfounded. "Did you come to an internet cafe to do your homework, p

    I outdid myself in the second midterm exam, scoring an A+ in Borisian, an A+ in history, an A in literary analysis, and a B+ in mathematics.My overall grade point average was 3.85.I rejoiced. With these grades, getting into a Vine League university was more than just a pipe dream!As I was scrolling through Instagram that night, a post from Riveria High School's anonymous whistleblowing account suddenly started trending.The headline read, "Shocking! What's behind the explosive increase in GPA? Cheating or forgery?"I tapped on the post and saw that it was about me.The article went on about how I must have cheated to have raised my Borisian grade from D to A+ and how I definitely used my phone because my seat was in a blind spot out of view of the surveillance cameras. It also brought up moral corruption and how I was giving the school a bad reputation.Everything was described in vivid detail. Someone who was unaware of the situation would think the writer had seen everythin
