Author: Perfect Timing
“We received a report that you stole property worth several million dollars,” the officer said. “You need to come with us.”

Everyone froze.

Lisa’s face went white.

“You’re lying! I didn’t steal anything. I didn’t!”

I stepped forward and pulled the necklace from her neck.

It was mine.

The same diamond necklace from my closet.

At first, I had not cared that Lisa was using my identity to impress people. Her lies were disgusting, but they had not harmed me directly.

But then I saw her wearing the di

    “We received a report that you stole property worth several million dollars,” the officer said. “You need to come with us.”Everyone froze.Lisa’s face went white.“You’re lying! I didn’t steal anything. I didn’t!”I stepped forward and pulled the necklace from her neck.It was mine.The same diamond necklace from my closet.At first, I had not cared that Lisa was using my identity to impress people. Her lies were disgusting, but they had not harmed me directly.But then I saw her wearing the diamond earrings my mother had given me.That was when I started to suspect she had been stealing from my room.Back then, there had been no cameras in my bedroom. After wearing the earrings, she had secretly put them back, so I had no proof.This time was different.The stolen necklace was still around her neck.She had been caught with it in front of everyone.There was no way for her to talk her way out of it.At the same time, my father’s company released an official statement.It would have b

    On the screen was a livestream.Inside the classroom, my classmates had set the curtains on fire and were threatening to burn the room down with themselves inside.“We just want another chance,” someone sobbed into the camera. “We want to go to college. Please.”“If I can’t go to college, I might as well die.”“Please, give us another chance. We know we were wrong.”The situation spread online almost instantly.Within minutes, thousands of viewers had flooded into the stream.The comments pieced the story together quickly.Most people were still clearheaded.How could anyone miss every major application deadline and then blame other people? If they had not cared about their own futures, who else was supposed to care for them?But then they said something that made my blood run cold.“We only did this because we believed Olivia, the billionaire’s daughter in our class. She said her dad had connections and could get us into schools like Harvard or Yale. That’s why we didn’t apply anywher

    Lisa covered her face and stared at me in a daze.“Miss... Miss Grant?”I gave a cold laugh.“You fooled everyone else so thoroughly that you almost started believing it yourself.”Everyone froze.None of them could process what had just happened.One moment, Mr. Hale had been the billionaire they were counting on.The next, he was bowing his head in front of my father like an employee who knew he was finished.“Lissy,” someone said shakily, “what’s going on? Isn’t your dad the billionaire?”“The billionaire?” my father said lightly. “I had no idea my driver had been promoted behind my back.”One sentence was enough to expose everything.Mr. Hale’s face turned ashen.“I’m sorry, Mr. Grant. I lost my judgment for a moment and offended Miss Grant. I’m truly sorry.”Lisa finally understood.All year long, she had been showing off in front of me.And all year long, I had known exactly what she was.Nothing but a liar wearing someone else’s life.The realization hit her so hard that she alm

    One student pulled out his phone and searched the license plate.The number was easy to find because of its repeating digits.“It really is the billionaire’s car,” he said. “The plate matches. Olivia, stop embarrassing yourself.”Now they were fully convinced that Mr. Hale was the man Lisa claimed he was.They crowded around him, all talking at once, begging him to fix their college situation.Mr. Hale raised a hand as if he were used to being treated like someone important.“Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll make the necessary calls. I can’t promise Harvard or Yale for everyone, but I’ll make sure none of you are left with nothing.”At that moment, Ethan looked at Lisa and Mr. Hale with gratitude in his eyes.Even then, he did not forget to turn on me.“Sir, this is all Olivia’s fault. If she hadn’t secretly submitted her own applications and kept quiet about it, none of us would be in this position.”He glared at me.“Someone this selfish doesn’t deserve to go to a school like that at all

    I was surrounded by security guards, so even if those people wanted to hit me again, they could not get near me.Besides, they had already vented most of their anger.Right now, the only thing they cared about was getting into college.“Yeah, Lissy,” someone said anxiously. “Call your dad. You have to give us an explanation.”“Exactly. If my mom finds out I missed every deadline, she’ll kill me.”Cold sweat broke out across Lisa’s forehead.“My dad is very busy,” she said. “He probably doesn’t have time to come here.”“Call him and ask,” another student snapped. “How would you know if you don’t even try?”With everyone staring at her, Lisa took out her phone and slowly dialed.“Hi, Dad? You’re busy? Okay. I understand.”Then she tapped the screen a few times and looked up.“You heard that, right? My dad doesn’t have time. He’s in the middle of a major deal worth hundreds of millions. If people like you delay him, can you afford the loss?”When my classmates heard that, they were fright

    For a moment, the hallway was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.Everyone froze.A few seconds later, someone finally spoke.“That’s impossible. Miss, did you make a mistake? Lissy promised us. She said she would get all of us into schools like Harvard or Yale.”“Exactly. You probably don’t understand how powerful Lissy’s family is. Her dad is a billionaire.”Our guidance counselor’s face flushed with anger.“I reminded you again and again to submit your own applications. I told you to add backup schools, check your portals, and meet every deadline. Did all of you ignore every word I said?”By now, they had already graduated. Although they still called her Miss out of habit, none of them seemed to respect her authority anymore.“Miss, you’re just a counselor. You don’t understand how things work at that level. One phone call from Lissy’s dad can fix this. Maybe our offers just haven’t appeared in the system yet. We can wait a little longer.”“Only people without connections have
