Chapter 15 Eliza’s Dominant pback

Elza calmly raised the half–eaten boxed lunch in her hand and held it out to the two girls. “Every graines with sweat. If you <b>eat </b>this in front of me, I’ll consider not telling the teacher.”
“You–what are <b>you </b>saying?! No <b>way</b><b>!</b>”
The lunchbox didn’t just <b>have </b>cockroaches and a dead rat. They had spit in it too.
There was no way they could stomach something so disgusting.
“Then take it to the teacher,” Eliza said coolly. “There’s plenty of evidence right here. If you won’t eat it, we can go to the principal’s office. Or… call the police.”
“C–call the police?!”
The girls‘ faces went ghost<b>–</b>white.
Eliza nodded seriously. “Campus bullying is against thew. You two bullied me–naturally, I should report it. The police will contact your parents. You’ll be lectured right in front of them at the station. The school will issue a public criticism, give you both disciplinary records, and transfer you to ss Six so we can see each other every day.”
Their expressions twisted with fear.
Calling the police. Bringing their parents. Public shaming. A permanent ck mark. Being reassigned to ss Six
That was every student’s nightmare–especially ss One kids who thought they were better than everyone.
“So.” Eliza raised the lunchbox a little higher, “what’s your choice? Eat, or not?”
The two girls exchanged terrified looks, then squeezed their <b>eyes </b>shut <b>and </b>forced the trash into their mouths.
But as soon <b>as </b>it touched their tongues, they gagged and vomited it right back out.
Eliza sneered. “That’s all the guts <b>you’ve </b>got? Next time, don’t pull such pathetic, idiotic stunts.”
<b>“</b>You..
They red at her, looking like they wanted to rip her apart.
“Pam! Irene!”
Naomi came running over, clearly having caught wind of themotion.
When she <b>saw </b>the girls doubled over and retching, she looked furious. “Eliza! What are you doing?! Pam and Irene brought you lunch–how could you bully them like this?!”
More students began to gather
Henry frowned. “Naomi, get the facts straight. <b>Your </b>ss One girls bullied Eliza first. She was kind enough not to break their
teeth.”
“Yeah! I thought you two were sisters<b>. </b>Why do you treat everyone else better than your <b>own </b>sister?”
Thatment from a ss <b>Six </b>student hit Naomi hard.
She’d always worked to <b>maintain </b>her sweet, gentle image. But being called out for ignoring her own <b>sister </b>in public? That stung
Naomi tried to stayposed. “1–I didn’t know what happened..”
Henryughed coldly. “Didn’t know what happened, but came running over to scold your <b>own </b>sister? Nice”
He grabbed Eliza’s arm. “Let’s go. No need to waste time with these morons”
Henry’s foul mouth made <b>Naomi’s </b>expression shift again<b>. </b>

She bit her lip. “Eliza! I’m your sister! You’re really going to let outsiders talk to me like that?”

“You didn’t seem to think I was your sister just now,” Eliza said sadly. “Those girls put a dead rat in my lunch. But the first thing you did was scold me. Naomi, <b>I’m </b><b>so </b>disappointed in <b>you</b>.”
Eliza’s tone was
soft, but it hit like a whip.
Naomi had always been the kind, fair, gentle queen bee of the school.
But when you thought about it–her so–called fairness always came at Eliza’s expense.
Her sister had just been horribly bullied, and her first instinct was to defend the bullies?
The pretentious scum didn’t even begin to cover it.
Naomi’s smile faltered as she felt the weight of the stares around her.
Finally, in <b>a </b><b>panic</b>, she turned and shoved Pam and Irene. “How could you two go this far?! Eliza may be in ss Six now, but she’s <b>still </b>my sister! How could you?!”
Pam and Irene looked at her in disbelief.
She’d been the one had–mouthing Eliza to them. They’d stood up for her–and now she was flipping the script?
“Naomi! You were the one who said Eliza transferring was an embarrassment to our ss! What’s with the holier–than–thou
act now
“Yeah! You told us you couldn’t <b>punish </b>her yourself because she’s your sister! That’s the only reason we stepped in!”
The girls‘ faces flushed red with fury <b>as </b>they tore into Naomi
They’d just been forced to eat vomit–inducing garbage–and now this?
Naomi was stunned. She never imagined her own cronies would turn on her.
“I–I never told you to bully her! What’s wrong with you?!”
The three of them broke into a full–blown fight, voices rising with every insult.
Eliza didn’t bother watching the drama. She turned and strolled back into the ssroom with the rest of ss Six.
“Eliza, I didn’t expect if–you’re tougher than you look,” Henry said with a grin, ruffling her <b>hair</b><b>. </b>
She chuckled dryly. “I was bluffing. Who knew those ss One airheads would fall for it?”
Henry squinted. “That sounded pretty legit to me.”
Just then, Nn returned.
He was holding two boxed lunches.
Eliza had thought he’d skipped out. She hadn’t seen him during the <bmotion </b>
But he walked in and silently ced one of the boxes on her desk before heading back to <b>his </b>seat
Henry nudged her. “Boss brought that for you.”
“Where did ite from”
“Swiped from ss One, Colton said as he returned.
Let them starve. That’s what they get for being jerks”
Henry happily dug into his lunch, waving <b>his </b><b>chopsticks </b>“C’mon, cat up! We’ve got gymter. You’ll need energy!
Eliza nced at the boxed meal. then at Nn

Why is he helping me? And he didn’t press about the test switching either…
But before she could sort her thoughts-
The ssroom door flew open.
Zayden stood there, expression dark and stormy.
“Eliza! Get out here. Now,”
