All Chapters of Days Rewritten: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Evelyn looked soft and fragile, like a pure white jasmine flower drifting down from the sky.The first time she walked into our classroom and introduced herself, Matthias could not take his eyes off her.Her family situation was not great either. She only had a disabled father at home. Maybe it was that unspoken bond between people who struggled, but Matthias and Evelyn quickly grew close.Evelyn could never keep up with the lessons. She would carry test papers covered in red X's, sit beside Matthias, and ask timidly, "Matthias, may I ask you something?"Every time, he would take the paper and patiently explain everything step by step. There was none of the impatience he showed when he tutored me.Once, after Evelyn ranked dead last in a physics exam, she lay her head on her desk and cried. Matthias pushed her deskmate aside and sat next to her, quietly keeping her company, handing her tissues again and again without a hint of annoyance.By evening, a neatly organized summary of

A crowd of students gathered around, watching Matthias lose control. They pointed at us, whispering to each other.His grip was strong. I struggled, trying to pry his hand off."I really don't need you anymore. Let go. That hurts!" I shouted.Matthias just stared at me, his eyes locked on mine, as if forcing me to give him the answer he wanted.The look on his face made something cold crawl up my spine. It reminded me of him in my previous life, the moment he kicked my stomach without hesitation.So, it had always been there, that violent edge.Back then, I had been blinded. I had smoothed over all his flaws, pretending they did not exist."Hey."A voice cut in.Derrick Rogers stepped forward and tapped Matthias on the shoulder."Man, do you really think it's cool to bully a girl?"Matthias froze, finally snapping out of it. He seemed to realize how bad he looked.Everyone was staring at him.He hated attention more than anything, yet then he was the center of it.He quic

The moment I heard that familiar voice, I almost burst into tears from relief. "Derrick! Derrick, I'm locked inside!"Derrick tried the door from the outside. It would not budge. "Don't panic. Wait here. I'll go get the janitor for the keys."Just then, thunder cracked loudly across the sky. A second later, the classroom lights went out all at once."Ah!" I screamed, covering my ears as I crouched down on the floor.Derrick had only taken a couple of steps away when he heard me. He ran back immediately and, without thinking, kicked the door open.Dim emergency lights from the hallway spilled into the room."Come on." Derrick held out his hand to me.It was still raining outside. We shared one umbrella as we walked, neither of us speaking. The silence felt awkward."Were you here to grab something?" I blurted out, just to say something.Derrick held up the book in his hand. It turned out to be a math competition workbook.He laughed a little. "Kind of embarrassing, but I staye

Evelyn's grades were still at the bottom, just like always. However, Matthias's drop was shocking.I had climbed 15 places. He had fallen 15.Then, he was only two ranks ahead of me.People were already looking at him differently, whispering with regret about the fall of a former top student.Matthias sat at his desk with his head lowered, a dark aura hanging over him.Suddenly…Crack!The pen in his hand snapped in two.…Soon, it was time for Derrick's competition exam.As a responsible student, I personally walked him to the entrance of the test center."Check your stuff again. Make sure you didn't forget anything," I said, reminding him.Derrick casually opened his file folder and showed me. "All set. See?"That check nearly gave us a heart attack. His admission ticket had been swapped out for a blank sheet of paper."What the hell? Which idiot did this?" Derrick shouted.Luckily, I had been worried something like this might happen, so I had printed extra copies in a

I heard that Matthias went back to the gang leader, hoping to make money again by reselling pirated discs.Instead, he found Evelyn in the man's arms, kissing him without restraint.Rage took over him. Matthias lunged at the man, and a fight broke out on the spot.The outcome was never in doubt.He was beaten badly, and with that, he lost his last chance to turn his life around.…Four years passed in the blink of an eye.I graduated from the School of Economics and Trade and smoothly stepped into my father's company, eventually taking over the business.During those same years, Derrick had been building something of his own. By the time I graduated, he was no longer just an old classmate; he had become my business partner.One evening, after a business dinner and a few too many drinks, we called a driver to take us home.The car pulled into the garage.However, the driver did not leave.He stayed seated, staring at me through the rearview mirror for a long moment before fi
