Chapter 1

"Julie, I bought an energy drink for you. Take it before the competition tomorrow for a boost."I trembled upon hearing the familiar words. At the sight of the familiar training base around me, I instantly realized that I was reborn.When I was still in a daze, Emily Fagan had shoved the drink into my hand.Meanwhile, the loving eyes of my boyfriend, Elijah Strauss, grazed Emily's face. He cooed, "Em, you're so thoughtful. Julie is lucky to have you as her bestie."His words made me smirk. Anyone with a brain would know that it was against the competition rules to consume energy drinks and any caffeinated drinks.In my past life, I had politely turned down Emily's offer. Just to be safe, I specifically reminded her not to mess with my stuff.…The next day, in the middle of the competition, someone accused me of cheating. An anti-doping test revealed that there were traces of substances in my blood and my drink. This caused our team's score to be nullified. As for me, I was ba

As expected, it hurt Elijah to watch Emily cry. He turned to me, yelling, "Julie, what are you doing? I know you're from a rich family and look down on us. But how could you throw out a gift from Em?"My teammates spoke up too."Julie, you've crossed a line. Even if you don't care for Em's drink, you shouldn't have thrown it out. You humiliated her.""Julie, you're at school, not at your home. Em is not your servant."Emily looked at me through tears. She said miserably, "It's all my fault. Guys, don't blame it on Julie."Turning to the people who had defended Emily, I announced coldly, "Anyone should know that it is against the competition rules to consume caffeinated drinks. Emily, are you unaware of that, or are you doing this on purpose?"She immediately teared up, looking pitiful. "Sorry, Julie. I can't do anything right because I'm slow. I can't even buy a proper drink for you."Elijah patted Emily on the shoulder. "Hey, stop crying. Your eyes are gonna be puffed."He t

I turned down Emily's offer coolly. "It's fine."She teared up instantly. "Julie, do you still blame me for what happened yesterday?"Elijah showed up right after that and pulled her into a consoling hug. "Em, that was not your fault. You had good intentions. Julie was the one who was ungrateful. Thanks for filling up my bottle. We'll win first place for sure."She flashed him a sheep smile. "I believe in you. All the best to you all."Before our turn, I took out my bottle, ready to drink, when I noticed some unknown white powder on the rim. My hand trembled in shock.It dawned on me that I still failed to fend off Emily. Had I drunk the water just now, I would have gone through the same ordeal as in my past life.I looked over to Emily and realized she was staring at me. She urged, "Julie, hurry up and drink. It's your turn to compete soon."I put the cap back onto the bottle. "Nah, I'm good. I'll take a trip to the restroom. You guys go ahead."At the restroom, I still failed

Everyone was stunned by my revelation.Elijah frowned at me coldly. "Julie, it's fine if you refuse to admit to doping. But how could you spout nonsense? Who would have been in your place if you weren't competing with us?"Emily let out a sigh. She reached out to take my hand and advised me, "Julie, stop being stubborn. If you admit to it now, Elijah and I will talk to the college on your behalf to reduce the punishment."I shook off Emily's hand, and she promptly fell onto the ground. Upon seeing that, Elijah rushed over to help her up. At the same time, he criticized me furiously, "Julie, do you have an ounce of shame? Because of you, our many years of hard work have gone down the drain. "Em has been so kind to speak up for you, but you turn her down."I snorted. "Is she? I can't accept her kindness."…At that moment, another girl, Sasha Jenkin, popped out of the changing room. She said to me, "Julie, thanks for giving me a chance to compete. The extra credit will help wit

The organizer scrutinized me with furrowed brows."Julie, we can't fault you for cheating because you didn't compete in the first place, but the doping test did come back positive."Since this did not affect the results of the competition, we'll only issue you a warning. I hope everyone plays fair in the competition and proves themselves with their skills."Smiling, I shot back. "I wonder how the doping test came back positive when I was absolutely sure I did not consume drugs. Someone must have framed me. I'd like to ask for the security footage. I'm curious to know if someone tampered with my stuff."Emily visibly lost her composure. She grabbed my hand. "Julie, let's forget about it. Since the competition isn't affected, let's not waste the time of the organizer."Elijah sided with her as well. "Julie, stop being unreasonable. We have no time to entertain you. The organizer is gonna let it slide anyway. Why are you so insistent on getting to the bottom of it?"I chortled, a

The footage clearly showed that my bottle was full, but Emily held onto my bottle anyway. She uncapped it and quickly emptied a bag of white powder into my water. The footage ended right there, with many people sending Emily looks of shock."No wonder she refused to play the footage. She's guilty!""Just now, she kept asking Julie to admit to her wrong. She even offered to beg for leniency on Julie's behalf. What a bitch!"Out of anger, one of our teammates grabbed Emily by the hair. "Emily, we have been good to you. Why would you sabotage us? Do you know our team's score will be nullified if one of us is accused of cheating? You almost ruined our effort for the past year. How could you?"However, Emily resorted to crying pitifully. "No. I did not. I never wanted to sabotage you all."I slapped her on the face. "Why are you still arguing when there's hard evidence? You receive 3,000 dollars per month from me as financial aid, so you'll have enough for your expenses on campus.

Emily burst into tears."I bought that bag of powder from the pharmacy. The employees told me that athletes consume that powder to boost their performance. So, I bought it for Julie to help with her competition."She proceeded to punish herself. "It was all my fault. I had no idea that it was a banned substance. Curse at me or hit me if you want. I'm so useless—I couldn't even do one thing right."With that, she successfully earned Elijah's sympathy. He pulled her into a hug. "Em, stop crying. I believe that you didn't do it on purpose. You just wanted to help Julie out. "How silly of you to think that it was okay to take stimulants before a competition! I find that adorable sometimes."Turning to me, he sighed. "Julie, you didn't compete. This didn't affect you in any way. How about we drop this matter?"The others, feeling sorry for Emily, chimed in to persuade me."Julie, we all know that Emily has always been a little slow. She was busy helping us out with the competition

In the following month, I applied to study abroad. My family had wanted to send me abroad after high school, but I stayed in the country for Elijah.Thinking back, I cringed at my obsession over Elijah. I must have been blind to fall for trash like him, who was the reason I died in my past life.…Three months later, my study abroad application was approved. I was ready to go once I received my visa.I visited the campus to pack my belongings. On my way home, someone suddenly stepped into my way.The disheveled man before me was dressed in rags. "Julie, why can't I get in touch with you for days? And why did you cancel the supplementary credit card? Did you know how hard it was for me?"I finally recognized the voice as Elijah's and was surprised to see him in such a horrid state.Staggering backward, I dodged his attempt at grabbing me."Elijah, we've broken up. Of course you can't use my card anymore."As he approached me, I quickly called for the security guard.Very soo
