Just then. Annie and Noelle walked throunds the door, holding hands, looking unerly tuned as they whimpered to

each other

“What are you two talking about Selena got up with a mile Who go first place this t| was about to check the

Noelle hesitated, her expression unreadable

Annie, however, blurted it out without danking Selena, can you believe it! The top scorer is your ter There's no

way that’s real. She must have cheated-either that or she got the answers beforehand. It's just to starty

“What?” Selena’s voice shot up in disbelief.

Both Annie and Noelle flinched, startled by her reaction.

“This has to be a mistake! Selena shouted. The warmth in her expression vanished, replaced by something sharp

and twisted-so unlike her usual gentle demeanor.

Annie and Noelle exchanged uneasy glances. For the first time, Selena felt like a stranger to them

But just as quickly, Selena smoothed her expression, regaining her composure. She said. “Sorry, | didn’t mean to

scare you guys. | was just... surprised. You two go on in-I’'m heading to the bulletin board to check for myself”

With that, Selena turned and walked out of the classroom.

Noelle tugged on Annie's sleeve, lowering her voice. “Did you see her face just now? That was scary. She looked

like a wicked witch from a fairy tale.”

Annie hesitated but shook her head. “Con, we're her friends. We shouldn't doubt her over a single

expression”

Noelle thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The hallway near the bulletin board was packed. Selena couldn't squeeze through the crowd, but then she

spotted Mateo pushing his way out.

Immediately, Selena called out, “Hey, Mateo!”

Mateo’s dark expression eased slightly when he saw her. “Selena”

“You must've done really well, right?” Selena flashed him a bright smile.

Mateo’s face tensed. His mood was visibly sour.

From the side, Joshua strolled over, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Well, well, Who would ve thought? Our

almighty Mateo didn’t even make it into the top ten this time. What a shame.”

A murmur spread through the crowd. “Wait, what? No way!” someone exclaimed. “Mateo’s always in the top ten!

How drop this time?”

Joshua, then who got first?” another student asked.

Joshua's lips curled into a smirk, full of pride. “Of course, it's Hailey!”

“Hailey Dalton?” the student asked agai

“Yeah,” Joshua replied.

“That's impossible” Selena’s voice was sharp, her eyes wide with disbelief. “She’s never been that good. How

could she be

Joshua shot her a glare. “If you don’t believe it, go check for yourself.”

Selena shoved her way through the crowd until she reached the front. The names of the top three scorers were

always displayed prominently. Her gaze locked onto the biggest, boldest nat the top. Ist Place-Hailey

Dalton.

Selena rubbed her eyes and looked again. The nwas still there. Hailey had really taken first place.

Selena couldn't believe that. Her eyes darted downward. 2nd Place-Casey Medrano.

Behind every nlay a total score. Casey, who always ranked first, surprisingly scored nearly ten points less

than Hailey.

With a score like this, if Hailey remained consistent, every top university would be fighting to recruit her.

Selena’s mind reeled. She muttered, “No way. She’s from snowhere-town school. There's no way she’s this

good. She must have cheated!”

Biting her lip. Selena forced herself to stay composed and turned back to Mateo with a sympathetic smile. “It's

okay. Mateo.

Selena’s words seemed to soothe his frustration a little. Mateo nodded. “Yeah, you're right. With your support, |

better next time.”

Selena lowered her gaze, feigning a shy blush.

Just then, Hailey walked through the school gates.

Joshua spotted her immediately, his voice booming as he sprinted over. “Hailey! You got first place! That's insane

Instantly, all heads turned toward her.

Hailey moved

th effortless grace, her steps light and unhurried. Her hair was swept into a casual ponytail, framing a face that

was both strikingly beautiful and untouchably aloof. The quiet confidence in her demeanor made people hesitate

to approach.

But when she heard what Joshua said, Hailey smiled. Soft, warm, breathtaking. It was enough to leave half the

crowd momentarily stunned-including Mateo.

Selena noticed, a flicker of jealousy flashing in her eyes. She masked it with a sweet, delicate voice. “Wow,

Hailey! First place! That's amazing. But... wasn’t your old school’s curriculum not that strong? How did you

improve so fast?”

Selena’s tone was innocent, almost admiring. But the implication was clear. Then whispers started up

immediately.

“It can’t be that she cheated to get the first place, can it?”

“I think it's possible. Even Selena said that the teaching in her previous school was subpar. How could her grades

be so good?

“She is close to Joshua. Maybe Joshua got her the test answers in advance!”

“I think this score is somewhat fake

“This whole thing feels shady.

Joshua had a sharp tongue and wouldn't refrain from criticizing just because someone was a girl. In no time, the

faces of several girls who were gossiping turned crimson red.

“Joshua, you don’t have to be such a jerk about it!” one of them snapped, eyes welling up with tears.

The girl's face burned red, her frustration turning to tears.

“Enough, Joshua,” Hailey said, sparing the girl a glance. Then she turned to Selena. “If you think my score is

fake, report it to the teachers. I'm sure they'll handle it properly.”

With that. Hailey turned to Mateo and asked, “Remember our bet?”

Suddenly, silence fell over the crowd. All eyes landed on Mateo. His face turned extremely ugly.

Before he could respond, Selena interjected quickly, her voice soft and coaxing. “Why don’t we wait until the

teachers verify everything first? Then we can talk about the bet.”

Hailey arched a brow, unconcerned. “Suit yourself.”

With that, Hailey turned and walked away, completely unbothered.
