Chapter 1

作者: Sweet Beet
"Ethan is right—better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in the big sea. I've decided to apply to a community college with him."

"With our abilities, even at a community college, we'll still be the standout figures."

Seeing Jessica and Megan agree to go with him, Ethan's face lit up with joy. Then he turned his gaze toward me.

"Ryan, you should come with us too. The four of us have always been a team. I really don't want to be separated from you all."

Looking at the three familiar faces before me, it hit me all at once—I had been reborn.

I had returned to the moment right after the SAT scores were released. Jessica, Megan, and I had all scored above 1400, more than enough to get into top universities in the country.

But Ethan, the poor student who had only scored a little over 660, had somehow managed to persuade us to follow him to a community college instead.

This time, if they wanted to go, they could go. I wouldn't waste a single word trying to stop them again.

I stood up immediately. "Choosing a college is a major decision. I'm going home to discuss it with my parents before I fill out my application."

Ethan's expression instantly turned pitiful.

"Ryan… do you not want to stay with us anymore?"

I had already seen through his manipulative act in my previous life. I had no intention of getting tangled up with him any further. In this life, I just wanted to stay far away from these three unhinged people and live in peace.

I turned to leave and started packing my things, but Jessica and Megan blocked my way.

"Ryan Jenkins, what's that supposed to mean? Ethan made a kind suggestion. Are you going or not? Give us a straight answer—we don't have time to wait for you!"

"You're already eighteen. Can't you make up your own mind? Where you go to college—don't you even know that yourself?"

Looking at them, the vicious expressions from my previous life suddenly flashed in my mind—the moment they had shoved me off a thirty-six-story building. A chill ran down my spine.

"If that's how it is, then I'll be blunt. My first choice will definitely be Horvarte or Stanferte University. As for that no-name community college, you can go ahead and attend it yourselves."

The moment my words fell, tears immediately welled up in Ethan's eyes.

"Ryan, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me for only being able to get into a community college?"

Megan hurriedly pulled out tissues and wiped his tears.

"Don't cry, Ethan. Even if you go to a community college, we're willing to go with you."

"So what if some people get into a top university? In the end, they'll just end up working like everyone else. I don't know where all that arrogance comes from."

Jessica turned on me sharply. "Ryan, I think you're just jealous of Ethan, so you're deliberately putting him down. Apologize to him right now—otherwise, don't expect us to ever talk to you again!"

    "Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Flores, I'm sorry. Jessica and Megan have always treated me like family. I truly see them as sisters and didn't want to be separated from them, which is why I suggested they apply to community college with me. I never expected it would ruin their futures."Seeing the boy they adored so deeply wearing such a wronged, self-sacrificing expression, Jessica and Megan immediately couldn't stand it. They dropped to their knees in front of their mothers as well."Mom, I chose community college willingly. It has nothing to do with Ethan. If you're going to blame anyone, blame me!""I chose it too. I just want to be with Ethan. I don't care about anything else."Mrs. Flores raised her hand and slapped her daughter across the face in fury. "You're out of your mind! Do you even understand that college applications are one of the most important decisions of your entire life?!"Seeing this, Ethan suddenly turned the blame toward me again."Back then, when they applied to com

    Because of Ethan's words, everyone's gaze snapped toward me in unison.Ethan continued, "When we were filling out the application forms, I was traveling with Jessica and Megan. We didn't have access to a computer, so we asked Ryan to help us submit our choices."Jessica and Megan immediately understood what he meant and quickly joined in, dumping the blame onto me."That's right, Ryan. We asked you to help us fill out our applications. We never expected you to be so cruel—you actually sent us to the worst community college!""I get it now. It must be because you didn't score as high as us, so you used this dirty trick to take us out of the competition!"Did they really think they could pin everything on me so easily?Fortunately, I had already prepared for this.I looked at the three of them as if they were nothing more than clowns performing on stage. "You had the nerve to do it but not the nerve to admit it—I really look down on you."Just as I was about to present the survei

    The noisy scene suddenly fell silent.After snapping back to reality, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Flores rushed off the stage and snatched the acceptance letters from the delivery driver's hands."What's wrong with you?" one of them snapped. "How can you be so slow delivering an acceptance letter? Were you slacking off somewhere?""Everyone else's Horvarte letters arrived ages ago, and you're only bringing it now—you almost delayed my daughter's future! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"Still grumbling, the two of them didn't even bother opening the envelopes before heading straight back toward the host on stage.But Jessica and Megan quickly rushed forward to stop them."Mom, it just arrived. Let's take it home and open it later.""Mom, I want Dad to share in my happiness too. Let's go home and open it together when he's there."They had never dared to tell their families that they had applied to community colleges. They had planned to wait until the admissions results were
