At a nce, it was easy to miss.
Clearly, this was Sarah’s way of striking back, an eye for an eye.

In her previous life, the original Jean had used a simr “little ball” to humiliate Sarah in front of <b>everyone</b>….
So now, Sarah was using the exact same tactic to get even. <i>So </i><i>that’s </i><i>what </i><i>the </i>earlier <i>calm </i>had <i>been</i>. <i>Sarah </i><b><i>lying </i></b><b><i>in </i></b><i>wait</i>, <i>quietly </i>biding <i>her </i>time, And <i>now</i>, <i>here </i>it <i>was</i><i>. </i>
“Jean, why aren’t you sitting down?”
A female ssmate noticed her standing stiffly beside her seat, face tense and unmoving, and couldn’t help but ask.
Jean blinked; her expression quickly returned to normal. She gave a faint, rxed smile and said lightly. “I zoned out for a second…”
Then she sat down without missing a beat.
At the same time, Sarah was watching Jean from the corner of her eye.
Seeing Jean sit down without any sign of suspicion, Sarah calmly turned her gaze away.
She faced the front of the ssroom again, eyes narrowing ever so slightly as a sharp, cool glint shed in them.
Jean, now seated, couldn’t help but stare at the back of Sarah’s head for a few seconds.
She rubbed her fingers together, her expression growing colder by the second.
Then, ss began, the teacher’s voice was oddly soothing; paired with Jean’s low energy that morning, it wasn’t long before she drifted into a sleepy daze.
Suddenly…
“Jean.”
Someone called her name out of nowhere.
Jean jolted; her shoulders twitched slightly as she snapped out of her drowsiness.
“Jean.”
Her name rang out again, same voice as before.
Jean pressed her lips together, her eyes finally focusing-
It was the teacher calling her.
The female instructor in ck–rimmed sses was smiling at her. “Sarah said she’d like <b>you </b><b>to </b><be </b><b>assist </b>her with a problem.”
<i>Sarah</i>? <b><i>Assist </i></b>with <i>a problem</i>? Jean blinked, her thoughts a scrambled mess.

“The teacher asked for someone toe solve a problem at the board,” the girl next to her <b>whispered</b>. noticing how lost Jean looked. “Sarah volunteered, went up–but halfway through, she <b>said </b>she couldn’t finish and wanted help. The teacher agreed-”
“And then she called your name.”
At that, the ssmate frowned slightly. “But, you two have never even talked, right? You’ve <b>had </b><b>zero </b>interaction… Why would she pick you?”
<i>Because </i><i>she </i><i>wants </i><i>to </i>humiliate <i>me</i><i>! </i>Hearing all this, Jean finally understood.
Sarah had clearly made up an excuse just to drag her up to the front of the ss and embarrass her <b>in </b><b>front </b>of everyone…
Jean’s eyes darkened slightly.
Up at the chalkboard, Sarah turned her head just a little.
And just like that, their eyes locked.
Jean caught the icy indifference in Sarah’s gaze, her expression was unreadable, her beautiful, elegant facepletely calm. <i>What’s </i>with <i>the </i><i>act</i><i>? </i>
A wave of irritation bubbled up in Jean’s chest. <i>I </i>didn’t <i>do </i><i>anything</i><i>, </i><i>right</i><i>? </i><i>So </i>why <i>is </i><i>Sarah </i><i>targeting </i><b><i>me</i></b><i>? </i>
Then again, she could understand where Sarah wasing from. After all, the original Jean had made her life miserable in thest life…
Now that she wanted revenge, Jean couldn’t say it was unjustified. <i>But </i><i>why </i><i>did </i><i>she </i><i>have </i>to take the fall for <i>it</i>?
She was sick of carrying the me for everything the original Jean had done!
Jean sat there in silence for a moment, quietly pulling herself together.
Then she shifted her gaze away from Sarah and looked at the teacher instead-
Jean raised an eyebrow and gave a calm, easy smile. “Sure. I’d be happy to assist Sarah.”
