âHow did high school senior Elizabeth confront Ben?â
The post detailed how Ben had targeted Elizabeth and how she retaliated against him.
An illicitly taken photograph was attached as evidence.
âGetting into trouble with Ben at the start of the school year? Sheâs doomed.
Her life in Class 2 wonât be easy from now on.]â
âSheâs truly a troublemaker. Didnât she cause trouble for Linda? Linda tried to mediate but was completely ignored. If it were me, I wouldnât bother helping her.â
âPoor Linda, getting involved with someone like Elizabeth. And I heard she never attended school before. Class 2 will surely be dragged down by her.â
âEven if sheâs problematic, sheâs cool. Standing up against Ben directly is impressive. I think she did right. The more you stay silent about bullying, the more aggressive the bully becomes.â
âWeâre getting off-topic. Arenât we discussing the transfer studentâs character?â
Renee was scrolling through the forum on her phone. She sneakily glanced at Elizabeth, who was engrossed in her book and rapidly typed a comment.
âAm I the only one who notices her face? Sheâs genuinely beautiful. If only she wasnât so fierce and had a better attitude towards studying, I would love to be her friend.
Unbeknownst to Elizabeth, she had been the talk of the Campus Forum for an entire day. Even if she did find out, she wouldnât care.
This was life when you stand out.
After class, Emily immediately called Elizabeth to walk home together.
Linda, who was about to approach, awkwardly withdrew her hand. The classmates pitied her even more, as she was repeatedly ignored by Elizabeth.
It seemed clear that Elizabeth was purposely avoiding Linda.
Such mean behavior.
On their way home, Emily confided to Elizabeth, âThis recent quiz is just the beginning. Sunny Heights has an intense curriculum. Iâm afraid I canât keep up, especially now that weâre in our senior yearâ¦â
âItâll be alright,â Elizabeth reassured her, âIf thereâs something you donât understand, you canâ¦â
Before she could finish, Emily interrupted, âIf thereâs something you donât understand, you can ask me. Iâve prepared notes for you. Here you go.â
Taking the notebook handed to her, Elizabeth blinked in surprise, and after a moment, she responded, âThank you.â
âWhatâs there to thank?â
âIâm happy to help you.â
Skimming through the notebook, Elizabethâs expression grew serious. Some of the notes were misguided.
âIâll correct these and return it to you.â
Emily corrected her, âYou mean review, right?â
Elizabeth paused, not wanting to shatter her friendâs confidence.
At dinner, Sir and Lady Wilson showered Elizabeth with concern.
She had grown accustomed to their warmth and answered their questions with a nod, regardless of the content.
Seeing Elizabeth show no discomfort, Sir and Lady Wilson were at ease.
Lindaâs grip on her fork tightened as she asked, âElizabeth, how did you do on todayâs quiz? I noticed you only wrote for a few minutes before stopping. Were the questions too challenging?â
Jack saw his chance to interject, âIf thereâs anything you donât get, you must ask Linda.â
âIt wasnât hard,â was Elizabethâs simple reply.
Jack frowned, thinking Elizabeth was being spiteful towards him.
Regardless of any tension between them, she shouldnât jeopardize her academics. She was indeed immature.
Sophia, concerned that Elizabeth might struggle to keep up with Sunny
Heightsâ pace, tentatively suggested, âPerhaps we should get you a tutor?â
Elizabeth lifted her eyelids, her voice indifferent, âNo need.â
Sophia turned to Sir. Wilson for backup.
âLetâs wait for the quiz results. If they arenât satisfactory, tutoring will be necessary.â
Sir. Wilson stated. Although he believed Elizabethâs grades wouldnât be too bad, given she earned her spot at Sunny Heights High School on her own, he also knew there was a difference between entrance and regular exams..
