Childhood Sweethearts
Tragic Love
Face Slapping
Regret
When Steven Baxter, the heartthrob of the school, admits that he loves action movies the most, my childhood friend, Lisa Thornton, has my limbs strapped to four huge drones. During the flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning, the drones lift me high up in the air in front of the entire school. The students' laughter is deafeningly loud. The videos they take quickly go viral, too. I only get to return to the surface once the drones finally run out of power and make their descent automatically. With a wide grin on her face, Lisa unties me from the drones. "Steven loves action movies, so we had you cosplay the main character from the most popular Tom Cruise movie. "We grew up together since we were kids, Dominic. Surely you don't mind, right?" As I sit on the ground, Steven pulls Lisa into his arms before he starts guffawing at me. Tears soon streak down his face from all the laughing. "I can't believe you actually peed yourself!" "Ahahahaha!" I get up to my feet and walk away. From then on, I don't return to Lisa's side. But Lisa soon loses her mind. "We've known each other for ten years! Must you really do this to me?"

The Drone Lifted Me Up and Out of Her Life Chapter 11
I looked at Mom, feeling a mix of complex emotions. I couldn't say I didn't feel any resentment toward her, as she had abandoned me when I needed her the most. I couldn't possibly ignore her, though, as she was still my mother."It's all in the past now, Mom," I said before I helped her to a bench nearby to sit down.Mom then informed me that Dad lost his job for good after the Thornton family went bankrupt. They had no choice but to move back to their hometown and scrape by doing odd jobs, living a very difficult life. "Your father regrets it too, saying that he was useless because he failed to protect you, Dominic."I fell silent, thinking that a belated apology couldn't erase the past, but maybe it was enough to help me move on. I handed her a bank card and said, "I've saved some money from my part-time jobs, so you should use this for now. I'll send you an allowance every month from now on, Mom."Mom wept and refused to accept it. "Your father and I treated you so poorly. Why a

I had never seen Lisa cry like this before—gasping for air between sobs. I didn't feel moved at all, though, as my feelings for her were truly gone. "Your five minutes are up," I stated flatly before I turned to leave, not sparing Lisa another glance.In the end, the Thornton family's company folded under market and public pressure. Oliver grew visibly older overnight and was hospitalized after suffering from a stroke from the overwhelming shock. Lisa had to sell her mansion and luxury cars, moving into an old, dilapidated apartment complex.I got all this information from Leonardo. I merely hummed in response after hearing everything. I was already moving forward with my life, so everything that happened before seemed like it belonged to someone else, distant and hazy.I did very well during my SATs. Winnie and I both got into Thalora University, where I majored in Computer Science and she majored in Journalism.Uncle Lionel was thrilled when I got my admission notice. He even p

In the end, the school administration reacted fast, firing Mr. Trent and referring him to the authorities.They even publicly apologized to me and reinstated all my honors during a school-wide assembly, with Mr. Lowe reading the apology statement out loud in front of everyone.I stood before the entire school, noting that the people who had looked down on me and ridiculed me all had their heads lowered. I neither cried nor smiled, merely feeling an unusual sense of stillness within me.It didn't stop there, as Uncle Lionel forwarded the video to one of the biggest news agencies in Casoria. "Heiress Stops at Nothing to Force Her First Love to Return, Bribing the Vice Principal to Orchestrate the Cheating Scandal."There was a public outcry as soon as the news broke.In the end, as a prominent company with a clean reputation in Casoria, the Thornton family's company was devastated by the scandal. Their shares tanked, wiping out billions of dollars in value in one day, while Lisa and

I had become the biggest joke at Casoria Central High School, and those who had once admired me now regarded me with contempt."I never expected him to be like this. I actually considered him a role model.""You really can't judge a book by its cover.""He obviously saw Winnie's grades and decided to cheat his way there.""I heard he had a history of bad behavior at his previous school and got expelled from there."Those rumors spread through the school like an infection, becoming increasingly ridiculous.I felt as if I was being suspended in the air again as I walked through the school, exposed to everyone's judgment.Leonardo stayed by my side, blocking out the hostile stares. "You shouldn't listen to their nonsense, Dominic—I believe you!"Winnie stood up for me, too. She stood in front of the class and announced, "I firmly believe that Dominic didn't cheat in the midterm exam. I won't hold back if anyone dares to spread lies again!"Their support did nothing to remove the

Winnie acknowledged me with a gentle, friendly nod.I felt a bit awkward, but I still managed to smile back at her.I was in a new environment, surrounded by new people. They were welcoming, and no one judged me or knew what I had been through. I felt as if I'd had a fresh start in life.I though

Uncle Lionel trembled with rage. "How could this be considered as making a big deal? Lisa pushed you to the brink! What about your parents? They're not just going to stand by while you're being tormented by Lisa, right?"I lowered my head, thinking that with Dad being the chauffeur and Mom being th

I kept my eyes fixed ahead and walked straight to the classroom.Steven was in my seat, sitting with Lisa. He was looking down and playing with a strand of her hair while she was resting on the desk, gazing up at him with a sweet smile. She had never been that gentle with me before. Lisa looked u

I returned home and shut myself in the bathroom. I then ran the hot water at full blast, allowing the steam to cloud the mirror—and my vision along with it.I stripped off my soiled school trousers and underwear and threw them into the very bottom of the trash, as though I could get rid of the humi
