Chapter 8

作者: Lumos Walker
The three days passed quickly.

I graciously unlocked the classroom and let everyone in.

The clock ticked on, and the classmates who had gathered to watch hardly dared to breathe.

Lily moved first.

The scratches on her cheek had dried. Her lashes fluttered.

"Am I... am I back?"

She struggled to open her eyes.

Then she saw me leaning close and screamed.

"What the hell, Nora? Get away from me!"

She shoved me back and dragged in great gulps of air.

"Water. Somebody get me water!"

I dumped

  • She Sold Us a Second Chance   Chapter 10

    I smiled and turned away.Behind me, the shouting started again."That's right! I remember. That's exactly what you said!""Pay us back! Even if you did take them back, it wasn't anything like you promised. You're a fraud!"Under the barrage, Lily finally crumbled."Please stop. I didn't want this to happen either."I don't have any money left. I still owe the loan companies!"Her face was a wet, ruined mess. She was crying so hard she could barely speak."Please. Just leave me alone!"I was trying to help everyone. I never thought it would end like this..."But the classmates who'd smiled so eagerly at her before weren't letting her off.Shouting and crying, all at once.Eventually, even the parents joined in."You little monster. You dragged my child into this!""My kid could've gotten into college this year. You ruined it!"The last crying voice I heard belonged to Denise.She sounded so disappointed that her voice shook."Lily, why would you do something like this?

  • She Sold Us a Second Chance   Chapter 9

    Under the pressure, Lily finally broke.After a long silence, she forced the words out."You only get one chance to go back."The room went still.Nobody moved. I could hear my own pulse.Tyler slapped her.The scratches on her cheek began bleeding again."You're saying we're stuck with zeros?"No. No way. We spent years studying, and you ruined everything because you couldn't get this right?"Why do you lot get to come back as top scorers while we're left with nothing?"His voice was going hoarse.He shook her shoulders as though he wanted to tear her apart.Then one of the students who'd returned snapped at him."You think we had it easy?"Sobs broke out as they began describing what had happened."English started, and barely half a minute later they took the papers away!""Everything after that was scrambled. Math went on for more than ten hours. But extra time doesn't help when you don't know the answers!""We had nothing to eat. Nothing to drink. We were so thirst

Get away from me!"She shoved me back and dragged in great gulps of air."Water. Somebody get me water!"I dumped ten cups of iced latte over her head.She screamed, then desperately tried to drink the liquid running down her face.I leaned in and enjoyed the sight."Awake now?"Good. Get on your knees and thank me."Her eyes widened. She almost laughed in disbelief."Are you insane? You want me to kneel—"Her mother grabbed her and forced her down.Lily's protests disappeared beneath a flood of thanks."Thank you! My daughter's awake. She's really awake!"I looked down at them and laughed."Onc

    I hadn't exactly whispered.Most of the classmates who were still conscious heard me.They rushed over, their eyes bright with hope."She's right. If she talks to them, we might still pull this off!""What are you waiting for, Tyler? It's just kneeling. She's not asking for a pound of flesh!""Don't you want Lily to wake up so she can take the rest of us back?"Someone kicked Tyler's leg out from under him.He landed on one knee in front of me.Such a familiar scene.Only now, our positions were reversed.He looked up, humiliated tears spilling from his eyes."Enough? Is this enough?"I never knew you were like this, Nora. Humiliating a classmate in public!""Both knees," I said. "And say it out loud, where everyone can hear you."His classmates shoved him the rest of the way down and held him there until he'd said it.His face was blotched red by the time they let go.He looked ridiculous.Warm satisfaction spread through me as I turned toward the parents who were pre

    As the families began to scatter, Tyler finally broke.He looked ready to fall to his knees."Please. Just listen to me!"Take them back to the classroom. They'll wake up. Lily, too. But if you split them up, their souls won't be able to return. The whole time-travel thing could stop working!"Nobody has to die. We just have to wait until the exams are over!"He kept begging.What a change from the boy who'd kicked over my desk and torn up my paper.His eyes were red as he begged, but no one wanted to hear it.The crowd shouted him down.I took it all in, savoring every moment.Then Tyler spotted my smile.Shaking with anger, he charged over."You're smiling? Don't you care about your classmates at all?"You're supposed to be our class president. How can you be this irresponsible?"So he'd lost control of the situation and decided to take it out on me.I raised my eyes and answered calmly."Short memory, Tyler?"Didn't I warn you? Every one of you chose to listen to Li

  • She Sold Us a Second Chance   Chapter 5

    The parents stared in disbelief."Zero? How is that possible?""Did they really hand in blank papers? Have they lost their minds?""I don't believe it. There has to be a mistake. My child has never gotten a score like that!"Their voices rose. Tears started falling."What happened? Why did my child score zero, and why won't they wake up?"Who did this? Who's trying to hurt my child?"Across the room, things were getting uglier still.Slaps cracked through the air, followed by cries of pain."Stop! Please stop hitting me!"I'm a victim, too! Lily said she'd take me back. How was I supposed to know she'd break her promise?"I'm sorry. I know I messed up. Please stop!"I watched Tyler, who'd been so sure of himself before, clench his teeth in fury.He punched the big screen, tears streaming down his face."I should've answered the questions. I should've at least tried!"No college is going to take me with this score!"The room was chaos.But a few people were still clingi
