Chapter 4

Author: Perfect Timing
The students' faces suddenly fell.

"That can't be! Mr. Reed, our scores are all over 1350. How is it possible that no school accepted us?"

"Exactly! I checked the minimum admission score for the school and program I applied to this year, and I scored over 30 points higher than that."

"You've got to be joking with us, right?"

They kept talking among themselves, but Ms. Tyson's chest rose and fell sharply with anger.

"How dare you lie to me and say your tattoos were fake?"

Sheldon scratched his head awkwardly and waved his wrists, showing the big letters "Winnie" inked on them. "Ms. Tyson, we were just joking. We knew you were strict. Even after we graduate, you still care about our tattoos."

Winnie chimed in, "Yeah, Ms. Tyson, all our scores are over 90%. It's just a tattoo. You don't have to be so old-fashioned."

Ms. Tyson's face darkened with frustration. "Do you even realize that those tattoos are why you're ineligible for these programs? Your physicals didn't pass, and every

    Winnie trembled violently and clutched her wrist as she stumbled backward. "What are you trying to do?"Sheldon's reply was ice-cold. "Obviously, I'm getting rid of your tattoo. I don't ever want to see my name on your body again. It makes me sick."He shot a look at the others. "Hold her down."Winnie went limp with fear. She struggled desperately, sobbing as she begged, "Sheldon, please let me go. I can get it removed myself. I'll go get it removed, I swear…"Sheldon drove the knife down. The pain nearly knocked Winnie unconscious.Something inside her completely broke. The looks directed at her were filled with hatred. Some people clapped in twisted satisfaction, while others lashed out at her with fists and kicks."This is all because of your stupid idea! You wrecked the goody-two-shoes image I worked so hard to maintain for three years in front of Ms. Tyson and Mr. Reed. This is all on you!""Winnie, you're the one who deserves it. You were the one who led the bullying agai

    As Dad approached, his imposing, heavy build made Sheldon freeze in fear. He sank down and kept apologizing frantically. I ran forward to stop Dad.He looked at me in confusion. "You're forgiving him just like that?"I shook my head. I slapped Sheldon across the face, then followed it with a hard kick. "I'm just making sure you don't get blamed for anything. It's only right for me to do it."Dad nodded in satisfaction. "If anyone ever dares to bully my daughter again, I won't let it go."I was so moved my eyes burned with tears. After exchanging a few polite words with Ms. Tyson, my parents took me home.Ms. Tyson and Mr. Reed looked at the hopeless mess left behind and walked away with resigned expressions.Everyone collapsed onto the floor, staring at one another in shock.At first, they sobbed and whined, but soon, their complaints turned to angry replaying of every detail that had happened."I just remembered. It was Winnie who convinced us to get the tattoos!"In an insta

    I froze instantly. I hadn't even had the chance to see my parents after being reborn. As memories of my last life came rushing back, I remembered Winnie setting our house ablaze. My parents tried to shield me with their own bodies, but in the end, I had still been burned alive.The memories of my last life hit me like a storm, leaving me both furious and brokenhearted.My parents gave me a look full of concern. My mom, Irene Bailey, whispered, "Don't be afraid. We've got you."I forced myself to nod through the sting in my chest.Winnie's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she blurted out, "Mr. and Mrs. Sterling, are you here to apologize for your daughter? Then, you'd better pay up! Cassandra has ruined the lives of all 35 of us. That's 350 thousand dollars you owe!"My dad, Eric Sterling, glared at her coldly. "Say that again? 350 thousand dollars?"Winnie froze under Dad's cold stare and said nothing. Sheldon straightened and declared, "350 thousand dollars is far too little. We've

    Ms. Tyson didn't know how to comfort Sheldon for a moment.I looked around at the other students. Some were choking back tears, while some were outright sobbing and screaming. All their earlier arrogance had vanished."What are we going to do? This was my dream major!""I just wanted a stable job. If my parents find out I'll never get into this field because of a tattoo, they'll kill me.""Our lives are over. Why did this have to happen?"Winnie's legs trembled uncontrollably. She suddenly turned to glare at me, then whispered to the others, "The only thing we can do now is get some cash to keep our parents happy. I heard Cassandra's family owns a mall—they've got funds. Perhaps we could…"The other students immediately caught on. Winnie shouted, "It's all your fault, Cassandra!"I blinked in confusion. "How is that my fault?"Winnie darted over to Mr. Reed, sobbing. "Mr. Reed, this is all Cassandra's fault! She said getting tattoos wouldn't hurt our chances at college and enco

    The next day, Sheldon and the rest of the class were notified to return to school for a routine physical exam. It didn't take long, and soon, everyone had their reports in hand.The moment the reports were distributed, the classmates all turned to stare at me in unison.They mocked me openly. "After we bring these reports home, we can just wait for our acceptance letters. Not everyone gets that chance after missing the SAT.""I can't believe Cassandra still had the nerve to show up for the physical. We all know she isn't getting into college anyway."I cleared my throat and looked at them with an amused expression. "What makes you so sure I can't get into college?"Sheldon raised an eyebrow and pulled out an exam admission slip, flicking it against my face. "Cassandra, I hid your admission slip. You couldn't even take the exam those two days. At this point, not even a community college would want you."The second he said that, the class erupted in laughter. Even Winnie let out a
