However, Steven could barely breathe properly anymore.

His chest felt painfully tight, and his thoughts were rapidly becoming chaotic.

Steven slowly swallowed the dryness in his throat before finally forcing himself to speak.

“I’m sorry,” he muttered stiffly.

The classroom became quieter instantly.

Several students blinked in confusion as they turned fully toward him.

Steven exhaled heavily before continuing in a strained voice.

“But I’ll have to bow out this time.”

    The embarrassment still burned beneath her skin, and now the challenge stood before her like an opportunity to recover the dignity she felt slipping away.Steven’s silent warning had been unmistakable.But despite every signal he gave her, Britney made up her mind.She lifted her chin proudly and looked directly at the girls standing before her.“Fine,” she said firmly.The girls blinked in surprise.Britney folded her arms across her chest and repeated herself with renewed confidence.“I accept.”The words settled heavily in the corridor.Steven’s eyes widened almost immediately.For a brief moment, genuine shock crossed his face.“Britney,” he began.But before he could continue, she cut him off and kept her gaze fixed on the girls.“You heard me,” she said confidently. “I accept your challenge.”The two girls exchanged looks.The surprise on their faces slowly transformed into amusement.The first girl smiled.“Really?”Britney nodded without hesitation.“Yes.”The second girl look

    The two girls standing nearby stared at her.Then suddenly,They began laughing.The sound cut through the corridor sharply.At first, the laughter sounded restrained, as though they were trying to hold themselves back. But the longer they looked at Britney’s stunned expression and the awkward tension surrounding the moment, the less control they seemed able to maintain.The girl Britney had slapped earlier laughed first.she folded her arms and shook her head while amusement spread openly across her face.“Oh my God,” she said between laughs. “This is actually happening.”Her friend laughed beside her.The humiliation Britney had caused them moments earlier now seemed to be returning to her with painful force.Britney immediately stiffened.Her expression darkened.The laughter irritated her, but beneath that irritation was something far more uncomfortable.Confusion.And disbelief.The first girl looked directly at her.“This is honestly so shameful,” she said.Britney frowned.“Wh

    The girl who had been slapped blinked repeatedly as though struggling to process what had just happened. The sting on her cheek hurt, but the humiliation burned even more deeply. Her breathing had become uneven, and the disbelief in her eyes only continued to grow.At last, she slowly lowered her hand and looked directly at Britney.“Why would you do that?” she asked, her voice trembling with both shock and hurt. “I only asked you a question. Why did you slap me?”Britney remained standing stiffly before them.The irritation she had carried ever since her argument with Steven had not disappeared. Instead, it had settled heavily inside her and now mixed with anger and wounded pride. Rather than showing regret, her expression hardened even further.She folded her arms and lifted her chin slightly.“You want to know why?” she asked coldly.The girl stared at her.“Yes,” she replied quietly.Britney let out a short, humorless laugh.“Because you deserved it.”The answer stunned both gir

    Mr. Frank’s office was quiet that afternoon.The lecturer sat halfway on the edge of his desk while reviewing several documents that had been spread neatly before him. Although his attention appeared fixed on the papers before him, his thoughts had drifted elsewhere.His mind remained occupied with what had happened during class.Over the years, Mr. Frank had developed a sharp ability to notice changes in his students. Teaching had taught him that people often revealed more through their expressions and behavior than through words. Earlier in the classroom, something about Steven had disturbed him.Mr. Frank removed his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose thoughtfully.Just then, a knock sounded on the office door.He lifted his head, “who is it?” he asked.There was a brief pause before a familiar voice answered from outside.“Mr. Frank, it’s Steven.”The lecturer immediately recognized the voice.“Alright,” he replied calmly. “Come in.”The door opened and Steven stepped into

    The question had barely left her mouth before Steven’s expression darkened. His irritation surfaced almost immediately, and even from where Justin sat, the annoyance written across his face was obvious.“Why?” Steven repeated sharply. “Isn’t that obvious?”Britney looked visibly startled by his reaction.“Why are you shouting at me?” she asked, her brows knitting together.Steven released a frustrated breath and rubbed his forehead before dropping his hand to his side.“Because,” he said impatiently, “you keep asking questions that already have obvious answers.”Britney looked increasingly surprised.“I only asked you something simple,” she replied.Steven shook his head.“No,” he said. “The problem is that you keep forgetting things.”Her expression hardened slightly.“What exactly am I forgetting?” she asked.Steven stared at her with annoyance.“Did you suddenly forget what happened in class?” he asked. “Mr. Frank specifically asked me to come and see him after class.”Britney star

    The classroom was engulfed in a strange and unusual silence that felt heavier than normal.Mr. Frank stood at the front of the classroom with a thoughtful expression on his face as his eyes slowly moved across the students seated before him. Earlier, he had brought up the subject of the Campus King, and ever since then, whispers had spread rapidly throughout the room. The curiosity among the students was obvious.Everyone wanted answers.Everyone wanted to know who the mysterious figure truly was.Yet the very person they were desperately trying to identify sat quietly among them without saying a word.Justin remained seated calmly in his chair, appearing entirely unaffected by the excitement and speculation surrounding him. His posture was relaxed, and his expression revealed nothing. Not once did he show even the slightest indication that he was the very person everyone was so eager to uncover.Meanwhile, the questions inside the classroom continued to pour in from every direction
