Admission Hold: My Fate in Her Hands
Right before the SAT, our scatterbrained airheaded group favourite, the school belle, Priscilla Ashford, volunteers herself to safeguard everyone's admission tickets.
My firm refusal of her offer earns me the displeasure of my childhood sweetheart, Justin Kylemark. "You're picking on her again," he says.
I ignore his rebuke.
On the exam day itself, I personally double-checked every single admission ticket to make sure nothing could go wrong. However, the moment Priscilla gets hers from me, she burst into tears, claiming that I lost her ticket.
Justin snatched my admission ticket and tore it to shreds.
I run until my legs give out, barely managing to get it reissued before the bus leaves. However, my classmates all kicked me off the bus together.
"You lost Priscilla's admission ticket. Do you think you deserve to sit for the exam?"
They carry with them the exam prediction I had prepared for them. Thanks to that, they each achieve excellent scores.
I have no choice but to repeat the year and become the top scorer.
By then, Justin and my other classmates, who are already in prestigious universities and colleges, all return together. They produce fake evidence, accusing me of cheating in the exam.
Unable to defend myself, a candidate who flunked the exam poured gasoline on me and set me on fire.
When I open my eyes once more, I see myself handing the admission tickets over to Priscilla… except for my own.
