Past copycat, this life's reckoning. Chapter 1

"Eleanor, what a coincidence, are you here to dye your hair too?"

I woke up suddenly, and looking at the familiar scene in front of me, I realized that I was reborn.

In my previous life, when I first entered college, my grandparents felt sorry for me and gave me $100,000 in pocket money every month. My parents also gave me $300,000 in living expenses on time every month.

When my roommate, Isabella Vance, found out, she started watching me and trying to imitate everything I did.

When I dyed my hair, she also started dyeing it the same color as mine. When I bought brand-name clothes and bags, she was willing to borrow money from loan sharks to buy the same things as me.

I originally thought that she was just vain, and I couldn't get over it for a while. I even felt sorry for her family situation, so I gave her some of my new clothes and bags, and made the excuse that I didn't want them.

But what I got in return was that she pushed me to the stairs and told me with a loud laugh that she owned The System. As long as she imitated me 80% and got the things I gave her, she could successfully gain the love of my family and generous rewards on my behalf.

After saying that, he pushed me down the stairs. After my death, she successfully took my place. My family and classmates all forgot about me, as if I had never been born in this world.

……

"Eleanor, I know I come from a poor family, but you can't just act all right and ignore me."

I looked at her hypocritical appearance and couldn't help but sneer in my heart.

"Isabella, in this life, I will let you experience what I experienced in my last life."

I knew it was not the time to have a falling out, so I pretended to be friendly.

"How could that be? Isabella, what a coincidence! What color are you going to dye your hair?"

Isabella's face froze, as if she hadn't expected me to ask this question, so she spoke carefully.

"Eleanor, let me dye my hair the same color as you. You know, I'm from the countryside and I've never dressed up. I don't know what color would look good on me."

I sneered. She told me the same thing in my previous life, and I foolishly believed her and even paid for her.

But not in this life.

I was about to speak when my best friend interrupted me.

"Hey, Isabella, I've noticed that you've been imitating our Eleanor lately, intentionally or unintentionally. If I remember correctly, your phone case is the same as our Eleanor's, but you bought a pirated copy."

Isabella's face turned pale instantly, but she knew very well that she was indeed imitating me, and even her tone of rebuttal was a little unconfident.

"How could that be? I just saw that Eleanor grew up in high society, was knowledgeable and well-informed about fashion, so I wanted to dye my hair the same color as her."

My best friend laughed out loud after hearing this.

"So what's the deal with you and our Eleanor buying the same phone case?"

Isabella couldn't think of any reason to retort, so she could only lower her head secretly, but I still saw the vicious look that flashed across her eyes.

I looked at my best friend and silently gave him a thumbs up, but still pretended to be a peacemaker and said.

"Sophia, don't say that, Isabella. She's from the countryside, so we definitely have to understand her, right?"

After saying that, I winked at my best friend, afraid that she would think I was on Isabella's side. After receiving my gaze, my best friend quickly reacted and pretended to be very apologetic.

"Eleanor, you're right. I didn't think it through. It's normal for him to have no aesthetic taste since he comes from the countryside. I want to learn from you and understand her."
