"You already have too much on your plate, young man. It's not a good idea to add a lot more to that." The registrar said to Jace, forcing a cold smile on her face. Then she turned to Grace's mother, "I'm very sorry ma'am," she apologised, a deceptive smile on her face, "I'm pretty sure the panel will take care of all that and give your lovely daughter the justice she deserves. Please, come and take your seat. Everyone will be here shortly." "Yes," Grace's mother uttered, "See to it that Grace gets justice and that this boy never sets foot into this institution again. He is dangerous; who knows who else he's going to put into trouble after this?" "I... "Not another word, Jace," The registrar cut Jace off with a deadly gaze, "Don't worry, we will take care of this." While she directed Grace and her mother to where they would sit, she turned around and saw Jace moving into a sitting position and approached him very quickly. "No, no no," she said, "You will wait outside until w
[71] An Oscar-winning performance
The next morning, Jace arrived on campus pretty early, not because he wanted to, but because the academy had set up the panel to look into the case and judge accordingly. He only hoped that they would hear him out and now shut him up when he tries to defend himself. That they wouldn't expel him just because he is a scholarship student without a proper investigation. Upon his arrival, the student stared at him disdainfully like he had done something terrible, "If we are being honest, these guys have done far worse than this." He thought to himself."And I didn't even do anything." He took the long walk to the east wing, where the school court was located, and even before he could get to the building, he spotted Grace outside, pacing around slowly, tension written all over her face. "Bloody pretender," Jace spat, throwing his face in another direction. Even when he got to the building, he didn't bat an eye at her; rather, she proceeded into an empty hall. "What's the..." He held b
[70] Boring story time
"We told you not to be around him, now look what he's done to you. The embarrassment cannot be expressed with words," said one of Jane's friends. They had all returned to the dormitory after Jane had left the hall, and although Jane was no longer crying, she was visibly upset, so much so that she hadn't said a word since they got back. "We said he was nothing but trash, that he's no good for you, now you see how he embarrassed you in front of everyone, are you happy now?" "Stacy!" The other girl cut her off, "Don't talk to her like that. She's already upset. Repeating the whole incident wouldn't help her, so stop." The girl moved from where she was sitting and walked over to the mirror, removing the speck of dirt from her eyes. "I don't know what you see in him though." "Someone framed him," Jane finally spoke up, her eyes glued to the phone screen as she continued to zoom in and out of the picture, "I think Grace did this to spite him just because he chose to come with me t
[69] You can't enter the dormitory
Jacs was stunned to silence, his hand glued to his now reddened cheek, while Grace stood right in front of him, fuming with anger, threatening to slap him a second time. Max jumped out of the car in a flash and grabbed Grace's hand before she could hit Jace again. Somehow, Jace managed to dodge, and the slap never landed. "Why did you do that?" Jace barked, "You sent the photo to everyone and made it seem like I brought you into the boys' dorm room just to get back at me! Wasn't that enough for you already?" "Me?" Grace asked, an expression of shock etched on her face, "What do you mean I sent the photo to everyone? Why would I even do that, knowing it would implicate me too? Don't you know what this is to me?" For a moment, there was silence between them, just the subtle sound of their heavy breathing. "So you didn't post the pictures," Jace asked, raising a brow. Somehow the situation is a lot more complicated than it seems. "If I posted it, then why would I slap you and bl
[68] The image
Jace was silent but nervous; the eyes that stared at him weren't unnoticed, and it wasn't just because of his new position, but something else entirely. "What's going on?" Jane whispers, curiosity written all over her face. But before she could even check her phone to investigate, a familiar voice yelled, "Giving the position of acting president to someone who breaks the rule is just too iconic!" "What?" Jace raised a brow. He didn't recall breaking any rules. If anyone did anything at all, then it had to be the elit brats who never hesitated to make others miserable. Jane looked up from her phone wearing a disappointed look, "You brought a girl into the boys' dormitory, into your room." "I... I did what?" Jace stuttered, and the image was immediately shown to him, the image that an anonymous student had shared on the school's public platform. And because Jace had been a trending topic all week long, it only took a few seconds for nearly the entire school to see it and that inc
[67] Gala night
"Grace?" Jace tried to call her attention but she seemed to have completely vanished into the crowd without a trace. So much for not being bothered by all the attention he was getting. Even while he looked nervous, some pretty female students still waved lovingly at him while with their partners. Truly it felt strange and somewhat overwhelming."Oh my God," he muttered, and quickly turned around, returning to the balcony so that Jane wouldn't get too curious or worse, upset."Is everything okay?" Jane asked upon his return, she never left the spot where she had been standing."I... sort of," Jace babbled,"The truth is, I had a lot of people asking me to be their partner tonight, I couldn't say yes to all of them, and she's one of them.""Oh," Jane muttered,"I hope my father's gift didn't force you to..."No no," Jace cut her off briskly,"I chose to come with you, not just because of your father. Honestly, you've been really nice to me since I got here, and that's enough reason for
