Not This Time Chapter 10
"By the way, I wasn't the one who called the police. You should be thanking everyone in the livestream."The medal pinned to my chest was actually a hidden camera. From the moment I agreed to meet Scott on the sports field, the livestream had already started rolling.Tessa's eyes went wide in disbelief.The police rushed in, arresting everyone involved. I was taken away by ambulance to the hospital.Lying in the white hospital bed, Scott stood at my bedside, apologizing weakly. "I'm sorry… I have no idea that you've gone through so much."I nodded curtly. "It doesn't matter."His eyes suddenly lit up, full of hope. "So… Does that mean you'll forgive me? Do we still have a chance…?""You're so disgusting," I spat, my face etched with repulsion. I didn't let him dream, not even for a second."You and Tessa are the same. You share the same values. You're only apologizing because you're interested in me. When you were helping her hurt me, you never thought that you were in the wr

"You hear that, Tessa? This is the man you always claimed is loyal to you," I said coldly.Scott froze on the spot, confused why I suddenly brought up Tessa. He didn't understand what was going on until a girl burst out from behind a tree and slapped him hard across the face. "Scott! You actually fell for her? I'm telling you now—she has known everything all along! She knows you got close to her with an agenda! She flirted with you, slept with you, and got close to you just to piss me off!"To her, you're like a cheap host. She played with you when she felt like it. Now that she's done with you, you're even thinking of betraying our families? The Walker and Flores families have worked together for years! Do you really think your family will get anything out of this?!"Tessa turned and glared at me, every word laced with hate and venom. "Lucia, you're just a worthless nobody from the gutter. So what if you got top marks or made it into MIT? My family has money. There are a milli

Everyone began to sympathize with what I had been through. They even cheered for me for being able to pull myself up by using my own bootstraps!Meanwhile, Scott spent days desperately trying to reach me.But honestly, I didn't have time to care.After all, as the state's top scorer, I was busy with endless media interviews. I had even taken on some tutoring jobs.A publishing house reached out, hoping I could organize my study notes and learning methods into a set of "Top Scorer Notes" for publication. I had to seize every opportunity. I knew I'd need money for many things in the future. My study notes sold out both online and offline.Countless parents left raving reviews online, saying that after their children read my materials, their grades improved dramatically. Their children even found better study methods and identified the weaknesses in their studies.With all the recommendations, the sales for my notes kept increasing.In the end, I earned nearly two hundred thous

Tessa, uncaring of the consequences, immediately started a livestream.On camera, she showed my recent exam scores, focusing on my two mock exams. Neither one even broke 400, and I had been at the bottom of the class.As she waved her ID for the camera, she accused me with righteous indignation. "Lucia cheated! With mock exam scores like this, how could she suddenly become the top scorer in the state?"Online discussions exploded.People started tagging me, demanding an explanation. I just laughed, opened up my private YouTube account, and revealed it to the public. There, I had 99 private study vlogs posted. Every video showed me studying until the early hours, notebooks covered in dense notes, even memorizing notes while I was showering or using the bathroom…I smiled at Tessa. "Actually, I should thank you. If I hadn't spent the past one hundred days as an heiress, I never would've had such a great environment to study. And with a handsome guy around to have fun with wh

Tessa kept refreshing my results page, muttering to herself the whole time. "No way. This must be a system glitch!"The principal and a few reporters came over, staring straight at my score screen.My score was blank. Below it was a line in bold:"Total score: You are ranked in the state's top 50. Please check back on the 27th for more details."Everyone in the room was stunned.Even the comments section froze for several seconds before it exploded again."Holy… This is crazy! Did I read that right? The side character's score is hidden, and she's in the top 50 in the whole state? Didn't the novel say she only scored 300 or something and couldn't even get into a community college? What is the author doing?!""No way she's the state's top scorer, right?""Get real! At best, she's in the top 50. The top scorer in a whole state full of geniuses? No way the underdog would ever get that lucky. The odds are impossible…"But in the very next second, my homeroom teacher's phone buzze

Scott's expression changed, and he said impatiently, "I'm doing all this for you! If it weren't for me, would you have ever gotten first place?"Tessa's eyes were red as she shouted back, "But did I ever ask you to sacrifice yourself?" Scott fell silent, then let out a long sigh. "Can you stop? There's only one week left. This whole farce is almost over."As for me, I didn't feel hurt at all. After all, Scott and I were just using each other.Pretending to be a bad student got me a hundred days of close, romantic interaction with the school's heartthrob. It was totally worth it!The mock exams came as scheduled. In both rounds, I kept my scores steady at three or four hundred. It wasn't enough even for a normal university, let alone MIT or Harvard.On the day of the SAT, we were all assigned to different exam halls. Before going in, Scott tried to comfort me. "It's okay. Even if you do badly, you still have me."I smiled and nodded, then turned and walked into the exam room—a
