“I have a feeling she’s going to get me back some other way,” I murmured.
“Speaking of top students, are you going to the award ceremony for top students tomorrow? The winner gets a full scholarship for next year.”
I completely forgot about that ceremony; I was sent an invitation weeks ago but with everything going on, I completely spaced it.
“Yeah, I guess I must. I could definitely use that scholarship.” I glanced at the clock across the room and sighed. “I have to get to my second class. I’ll see you later, Nan.”
“Bye!”
After I was done with class, I stood outside in the parking lot and was about to call for an Uber to take me home. I wanted to change before I went to Gavin’s house for the tutoring session, but before I could pull up the Uber app, a luxurious car pulled up in front of me. I gasped at the fast movement and then the window rolled down.
I immediately recognized Leroy.
“Good afternoon, Miss Montague. I was sent to pick you up for work,” he said, unlocking the back door.
I smiled at him, feeling a bit uneasy over the fact that he had come to my school to pick me up.
“Thanks,” I said as I slid into the car.
As I shut the door, I paused for a moment, I couldn’t help but feel I was being watched. I brushed the thought out of my mind as the car pulled away from the school.
Third Person POV
It made no sense as to how that bitch got so much confidence! How dare she speak to Carol in such a way. Her friends trailed after her after she left the student lounge, but once Carol got outside, she turned to them and narrowed her eyes.
“Leave me,” she ordered, putting her hand up to halt their steps.
“W…what?” One of them asked. “Why?”
“I need to be alone,” Carol said, folding her arms across her chest. “Leave.”
They pouted, but they knew better than to argue with Carol. They soon left, leaving Carol alone with her thoughts. Carol walked around the campus; she had no other classes, and she was thinking about returning to her on–campus suite for a bubble bath. She needed to rid her mind of every thought of Judy.
As Carol walked through the campus and towards the dorms, she paused when she saw a familiar figure sitting in the quad. They had a dark hoodie pulled over their face and a smile spread across Carol’s lips as their eyes met from across the campus.
She knew this person as a friend, and she had known them for quite a while. She also knew that this

friend couldn’t stand Judy. She straightened her posture as she walked across the campus and towards this friend.
“Judy is so annoying,” Carol muttered as she sat beside her friend in the quad. “You’ll never believe what she said to me. She had the nerve to insinuate that she was smarter than me.”
“What did you expect?” Her friend mustered. “She’s always been on a high horse. That’s one of the reasons I can’t stand her.”
“What are you even doing out here?” Carol asked, staring at her friend with a pointed expression. “You never hang out on the quad. Isn’t this beneath your scene? Or so you always say.”
Her friend rolled their eyes and sighed.
“I was actually waiting for you.
Carol raised her brows.
“For what reason?”
“Because I need your help,” they said, turning so they were facing Carol completely. “I need whatever dirt you can find on Judy; can you do that?”
“And how do you expect me to do that?” She asked. “It’s public knowledge that she was rejected, and her family went bankrupt.
Her friend nodded thoughtfully.
“There must be more information. Something we are overlooking. There’s no way she’s that good at everything. She’s up to something and I need you to find out what it is.”
“And what’s in it for me?” Carol asked, raising her brows.
Her friend smirked.
“Because if we play our cards right, we could get rid of judy once and for all. Then, you’d be the top student,” her friend replied.
Carol’s eyes lit up.
“I like the way you think,” she said with a wink. “I’m in. I’ll follow her after school and see what she’s really up to.”
After she parted ways with her friend, she noticed Judy walking out of the academic center. She was typing away on her phone, concentrating, when a luxury car pulled up in front of her. Carol hid around the corner upon seeing Judy and her brows furrowed when she noticed Judy talking to someone in the
car.
Carol held her breath when Judy opened the back door and slid into the back seat, shutting the door behind her.
That car was a low–key Rolls–Royce Phantom!
How did she manage such a ride even though her family was bankrupt?!

Carol screamed internally.
It was no wonder she still strutted around with all that confidence!!
