The Graduation Photo Betrayal Chapter 9
Hayden collapsed onto the ground, his brand-new shirt smeared with dust.When he scrambled up in a panic, he was pinned by Soren. “So you even tried to pocket the photographer’s money!” Soren’s sudden laugh was manic, his face twisted with triumph. “Everyone, look at our model class president!”The students around them stirred. A few of the boys surged forward, blocking Hayden as he tried to flee.“Listen to me! This money isn’t—”At that moment, Corin pushed through the crowd, holding a thick envelope high above his head.“Mr. Thorne!” His voice trembled with excitement. “Hayden asked me to keep the class funds—here’s all the cash, two thousand six hundred in total!”The room erupted again.Mr. Thorne took the envelope. Its weight made his frown deepen. “Hayden,” he began, his voice cold as ice, “explain why the class funds were stored in cash and in a student’s possession.”Hayden's pale lips quivered, but no words came out.Soren lunged at Corin. “You traitor!

Mr. Thorne stormed forward, his face ashen, and the room fell utterly silent.“This matter is extremely serious.”He scanned the room, his gaze finally landing on the trembling Hayden and Soren. “The school will immediately form an investigation team to thoroughly examine the use of class funds.”Hayden suddenly lost control and roared, “This is all fake! Everett photoshopped everything to frame us!”Soren clutched at the lifeline. “Yes! He must have faked the screenshots!”I sneered. “Then how about this?”I played a recording.Hayden’s sharp, malicious voice rang out clearly, “Everett, that poor kid even quibbles over fifty dollars for a dinner—he deserves to be isolated by the whole class…”The recording also contained Soren and a few other class officers’ laughter.I had secretly recorded it during a class committee meeting, when they thought I had already left.When the recording ended, everyone was dead quiet.Mr. Thorne’s face darkened, terrifyingly so, as he slowly

The room fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.Soren’s lips trembled, but no words came out.I took a deep breath and pulled up a series of screenshots from my phone album.“This is from the sophomore welcome party—Hayden privately messaged me, saying the spots were full.“This is from the junior autumn outing—Soren notified me of the gathering time two hours later than the actual start.“This is from last year’s New Year’s dinner—they tagged everyone in the class group, except me…”With each screenshot I displayed, the surrounding murmurs grew louder.“This is too much, isn’t it?” a girl whispered.“No wonder Everett never joins activities…” another classmate said, finally understanding.I continued scrolling. “But before every activity, they always privately messaged me to pay.”Finally, I froze on a single screenshot of a transfer record—a twenty-dollar prepayment for a class activity, dated December of last year.“Over four years, I paid a total of 186

Seeing this, Hayden immediately put on a look of wounded innocence. “Everett, I know you’ve always had issues with me, but I never expected you to slander me like this…”His eyes reddened instantly. “I work so hard every day, just to be with everyone…”Mr. Whitlock’s expression had completely softened. “Everett, it seems you truly misunderstood. There’s no problem with how class funds were used. You should apologize to Hayden.”Hayden shot me a triumphant glance, his voice dripping with feigned grievance. “We work so hard managing the class, and yet some people make terrible accusations…”I stood frozen, feeling my blood congeal.Those so-called acts of assistance were nothing but a façade—Liora was Hayden’s girlfriend, and Rowan was Soren’s dormmate.But at that moment, everyone sided with them.“Everett, accusing classmates without solid evidence is a very serious mistake, “ Mr. Whitlock told me sternly. “You won’t graduate this year if this continues.”A flicker of c

I took a deep breath and pulled my phone from my bag.“During that sophomore year class dinner, Hayden collected fifty dollars per person, but the actual cost was less than thirty.”I brought up the photo of the restaurant bill I had saved. “I secretly took this when we paid.”Hayden’s face instantly went pale. “Th-That’s because…”“And last semester’s spring outing.”I continued. “He charged twenty dollars per person, but the student ticket for the park was only four.”I flipped through a few more photos. “Here’s the price list at the park entrance, and here’s the chat record showing the fees he collected.”The atmosphere in the studio tensed immediately. Whispered comments rose and fell like waves.“I remember that dinner!”A boy suddenly spoke. “*Hayden said the money wasn’t enough, so we had to pay an extra ten.”“And the spring outing, too.”Another girl added quietly, “He said it was for renting vehicles and buying insurance…”Hayden’s face shifted from red to w

Soren’s face changed. “What nonsense are you talking about! Every expenditure from the class funds is recorded!”I didn’t want to argue with him any longer and went straight to Hayden.He was deep in conversation with the photographer. Seeing me approach, he immediately became alert and stepped forward to block me.He raised his chin. “This area is for individual photos. No unauthorized persons allowed.”“I paid too.” I looked Hayden in the eyes. “Just like the other students.”Hayden snorted and crossed his arms. “Everett, let me make this clear. The fee only covers the group photo. Individual portraits cost extra. Got it?”He deliberately raised his voice, drawing the attention of nearby classmates. “We went out of our way to Photoshop you in. What more do you want?”I clenched my fists. “Then why do the other students all have individual portraits?”“Because they paid extra,” Hayden rolled his eyes. “If you’re broke, don’t embarrass yourself. Now get lost.”
