Lahat ng Kabanata ng Let Them Fight: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Winnie, however, was still glaring coldly at me. "Words are cheap—if you don't sign it, you're not getting any of the answers. Don't say I didn't warn you…""Yeah, sure," I replied, nodding. "But I'll pass."Winnie was stumped, not expecting that I'd give up so easily.Gritting her teeth, she hollered, "Everyone heard her! She passed! When the whole class gets into Croma, let's hope she won't cry begging after she flunks!""Don't worry about her, Winnie," Hal scoffed, setting up his facial recognition while waving her off dismissively. "She's as stiff as a board, and she'll get a community college degree at best."In under ten minutes, every classmate had registered for that app except me.Standing akimbo like a queen, Winnie looked at everyone as she said, "Now, I'll start sending the answers into a new chat group. Memorize everything as soon as you can—especially the formula for important questions."The room was at once filled with chants as everyone began memorizing their an

With that, the cheat sheet rolled quietly down my palm and into Vera's chest pocket."Next!" a proctor barked just then.I went up, spreading my hands.The only beeps that could be heard was when the scanner passed my belt buckle.Then, the proctor said, "Pencil pouch."I calmly opened it, revealing just two pencils, an eraser, and a calculator.Clean.Winnie's face dropped, her eyes fixed on my pencil case in disbelief."Go in," the proctor said, beckoning.I nodded, picked up my pencil case, and turned to look at Winnie.She was glaring at me viciously, while Vera was trembling nervously in front of her."Next!" the proctor barked again.Vera started forward with a clumsy gait.Beep! Beep! Beep!This time, the scanner blared loudly as it reached Vera's pocket.The proctor scowled right then. "What's in your pocket?! Take it out."Vera's face was pale. "Nothing… Just a pack of tissues…""Take it out," the proctor repeated, sterner this time.Trembling, Vera reached i

[What's going on?! Why can't I find my score?][Me too! And the wifi connection says that everything's normal!][Can you access it, Hal?][No, I've got nothing too!]There was chaos in the chat group as hundreds of messages were sent in a single minute, with Winnie being pinged repeatedly.[What's going on, Winnie? Did the system glitch or something?][Winnie, I called the admissions office but it's busy!]It took at least thirty minutes before Winnie finally responded.[Calm down, everyone. It takes time for the system to finalize the results, so trust me, everything is going to be fine.]However, her assurance was meaningless because ten minutes later, Hal sent another screenshot of an internal notice circulating within the education department.It clearly read: 'Suspected plagiarized answers in the SAT, guilty examinees' scores to be deemed forfeit and examinees suspended from retaking the SAT for three years.'The group turned deathly silent, and it was only two minutes

The class went amok as they swarmed Winnie maniacally, shoving her to the floor.Winnie's screams hence echoed on the roof, along with the audible slaps, kicks, and ripping of clothes."Help! Somebody help! They're trying to kill me!" She kept screaming as she fought back, but there was nothing she could do.The girls who usually couldn't even open a water bottle for their lives were especially vicious, as they were the ones who had bet their futures on high-interest loans.Hal himself stamped his foot on Winnie's hand, shoving it down while snapping, "You were going to study abroad, was it?! You won't even make it to the hospital!""Please, I'm sorry!" Winnie cried in pain through snot and tears. "You can have your money back! I'll get you a refund!""Refund, my foot! I'm banned from taking the SAT for three years! Three years!" Hal bellowed hysterically.I quietly stayed at a safe distance, letting them fight.In my last life, it was me whom they were clobbering, cursing, a
