Chapter 2

Author: Perfect Timing
Looking at Snowie's triumphant face, I pointed at my roommate–Mandy Leigh–next to me.

"I've been reading. I didn't even open my mouth. Mandy is my witness."

Mandy nodded. "Pretty sure Ginny hasn't said a single word until now."

Eva was just about to calm down when Snowie sighed and said, "Of course you didn't say it, but I could hear your thoughts. I heard you calling Eva a disgusting fat pig. I know none of you will believe me, but I can prove it."

Snowie calmly pointed at my bag. "In your bag is a water bottle, a set of keys, and two packets of tissues. Oh, and also five dimes."

Before I could say anything, another classmate snatched my bag and poured the items out, counting them.

"Snowie's right. It's exactly as she said. Could she be for real?"

I calmly said, "I bring this with me every day. Anyone would find out if they observed me for a few days."

The class seemed to find my explanation valid. They were hesitating between siding with Snowie or me.

Snowie calmly said the exact same thing in my previous life, to get all of them to bring an item out for me to pick, and she'd guess.

I refused outright. "Who knows if you'd join forces and gang up on me?"

A few classmates with a temper sprang up and questioned me on what I meant by that.

I said nothing, merely looking at Snowie icily.

No matter whether it was my previous life or current life, I refused to believe in this 'mind-reading' shenanigan. There had to be some secret.

Snowie was a little annoyed that I was not taking the bait.

"Alright, then. Why don't you head to the canteen to get some food? No matter what you get, I'd know. That way, I can prove that I was right.

"Want to bet? Otherwise, it means that what I said was the truth."

Noticing Eva glaring daggers at me, I knew I had to agree to it.

Before leaving, I secretly turned on my phone's camera and hid it in a corner where it could film the entire class.

10 minutes later, I returned with a tightly wrapped doggy bag and placed it right in front of Snowie. It was so tightly wrapped that one could not even smell the food in it.

"Tell me, what did I get?"

Snowie snickered weirdly. "Ginny, did you pick up leftovers? There is half a piece of a chicken bacon sandwich, a few meatballs, and a piece of cheesecake, which someone had taken a bite from. Am I right?"

My classmates immediately snatched away the doggy bag and opened it, matching what Snowie said.

"Snowie is right again. She really can hear Ginny's thoughts."

Even though I was mentally prepared, hearing Snowie make the right guesses made my heart sink.

I picked up my phone and looked at the video that it recorded. Snowie had always been in her seat after I left. Not only did no one approach her, but she also did not even touch her phone.

My heart sank, and I started to doubt myself.

Could Snowie really hear my thoughts?

Eva glared at me. "Ginny, what else do you have to say for yourself?"

The entire class turned on me, demanding that I apologize to Eva.

Right at this moment, Snowie abruptly yelled, "Everyone, silence! I can hear her thoughts again."

I miswrote. The paper still had traces of my correction.I suspected something was wrong with my right eye, so I secretly took it off, put it in my bag, and went to have it checked immediately after asking for leave from my teacher.Sure enough, upon opening it, I found a state-of-the-art surveillance device inside, placed there no more than two weeks ago.It even

    The officer replied icily, pointing to everyone, "All of them saw for themselves; the notebook is new. I hadn't touched it before it was open. If you suspect me, you can file a complaint and get another officer here."The dean of the college immediately stood up and said, "Sir, we believe you. Snowie is only trying to help the school."Getting the dean's hint, Snowie instantly lowered her head and apologized, "Officer, I'm sorry. I was just too eager to prove myself."The police officer replied indifferently, "Since we've proven that your ability to hear thoughts is fake, then, as agreed, you need to apologize to Ginny Sanders."Snowie looked aggrieved. She reluctantly apologized to me, "Ginny, I'm sorry. It was a misunderstanding."I corrected her. "No. Not a misunderstanding. You wrongfully accused me."Snowie gritted her teeth and corrected herself, "I'm sorry that I wrongfully accused you."I looked up at Ms. Honey. "Ms. Honey, since I've proven Snowie had wrongfully accused

    I asked, "So, Officer, may I ask how I could've escaped detention and returned to school just to steal a few documents?"The police officer was a little stumped seeing my notice of release from detention.Yes. How did I do it?Instantly, everyone turned to Snowie.She turned red. "Ginny is lying! She stole the designs! Her thoughts never lie!"This time, the police officer did not trust what she said and retorted, "How could you prove what you're saying is true?"Before she could reply, the entire class replied on her behalf, recounting all of the previous experiments that they had done.Ms. Honey also stood up for her. Casting me a resentful gaze, she said, "What Snowie said was true. Ginny is a liar. Her words can't be trusted."She added, "Who knows, perhaps the notice she handed to you was forged. You need to properly look into this, sir."Snowie flashed me a provoking smug smile when she saw everyone siding with her.The police officer nodded and immediately called the p

    Through gritted teeth, Ms. Honey hissed, "Just you wait! As long as I'm alive, you'll never get your scholarship!"I groaned and tried to defend myself, but Snowie said once more, "Ginny said, 'It doesn't matter if I don't have the scholarship. Luckily, I was smart enough to pretend to be poor to apply for financial aid. Once I have the money, I'll go and get the newest phone.'"Snowie looked at me and said with surprise, "Ginny, the financial aid has a quota. How could you take away this aid from those who really need it, all just for a new phone?"Ms. Honey looked murderous. Not only did she write me up for disciplinary action, but she even revoked my financial aid.Without the financial aid, my life savings depleted quickly. I had no choice but to quit school and find a job.Just when I was packing up, I suddenly thought of the three experiments that Snowie did to prove that she could hear my thoughts.I thought about it over and over, finally realizing something was not right

    "Ginny is saying, 'Why should I apologize to that disgusting fat pig? In her dreams! Who do they all think they are–the moral police? They're just spineless dimwits! As long as I don't admit to it, they can't do anything about it.'"This infuriated the entire class."Ginny, how could you! We're just trying to stand up for Eva! Why did you insult all of us?"Everyone glared at me. "I didn't say any of that!" I tried to explain. "Snowie made it all up!"No one bought what I said, so I turned to look at Mandy and said, "Mandy, don't you know what type of person I am? I really didn't say anything."Mandy was just about to stand up for me when Snowie said, "Ginny just said, 'As long as that idiot Mandy believes me, no one else will suspect me.'"Mandy's eyes reddened. "How could you say such horrible things? I know your family's situation isn't ideal. I always share my snacks and fruits with you. How could you think this of me?"Consider me done with this friendship! Return all my
