The Shadow of SAT Exam

"Kathy, you better be careful. Lisa will surpass you next time.

"Someone has worked so hard for so long, but her performance was not even as good as Lisa's, who has just studied for a month..."

Sofia White and Lisa Morgan came to my table and judged me again.

It had been around a week, and this was also the first week of my rebirth.

I opened my math book with disdain and didn't want to pay attention to it.

"Sofia, don't say that. I'm still far beyond Kathy."

After saying that, Lisa looked at me shyly.

I thought, "Yes, Lisa, you are indeed still far beyond me. Even what you have now is copied from me."

"Lisa, you are just too kind. She treated you like that, but you still..."

Sofia rolled her eyes at me, took Lisa's hand, and continued speaking.

"I don't know how her family taught her..."

I pushed the table away and stood up suddenly.

"Lisa, didn't you tell your friends about my family and your family..."

I couldn't stand someone talking shit about my family, I folded my arms over my chest.

I looked at Lisa.

Lisa was frightened by my sudden question.

"Sofia, let's go." Lisa nervously pulled Sofia towards the door.

"Well, but, Lisa..."

Sofia seemed to want to say something.

I just said a few words, but Lisa was scared already.

I sat back in my seat and flipped through the book that was both familiar and strange.

After the class in the evening, I returned home. As soon as I opened the door, Lisa's mother Mia came to greet me.

"Kathy, you are back. Wash your hands first. Your father will be back soon. Let's have a meal together."

She smiled and took my hand.

As Lisa's mother, she was as talented as Lisa in acting.

"Do you really want me to have dinner with my dad?"

Mia was stunned for a few seconds and said, "Of course. There is no way a father and daughter would hold a grudge against each other..."

I didn't say anything, just smiled coldly, walked past her, and went upstairs.

"You know, I hate people who deceive me the most..."

Standing on the stairs, I looked down at Mia's back.

"Yes, I've watched you grow up since you were a kid, so of course I know it."

Mia's voice was a little trembling, but she adjusted herself immediately.

I smiled and said, "Well, it's good that you know it. I'll go upstairs now."

Back in the room, I looked around carefully and saw a diary spread out on the table.

[I don't know why, Lisa's grades are getting better and better, I'm so scared...]

[I hate my dad. He not only hurt my mom but also Mia.]

...

I said to myself, "Kathy, you were incredibly stupid."

I angrily tore off the diary pages one by one and then tore them into pieces.

The ground was covered with white paper scraps, just like the white rose petals that covered the ground on the day my mother died.

It was also on that day that Mia showed up at my house with a girl who was half a year younger than me.

Mia said that Lisa was going to high school, so she brought Lisa here to recognize her father and hoped Lisa could get a better education.

I said to myself, "Mia, Lisa, I won't let either of you go!

I will settle our grudges bit by bit."

But before that, I should prepare for the college entrance examination content first.

I already forgot the last time I studied.

In my previous life, one month before the college entrance examination, Lisa's grades suddenly improved.

Her grades improved dramatically.

The strange thing was that she got almost all the multiple-choice questions right, but she made many mistakes on the essay questions.

In the last few practice tests, her score had always been high and stabilized.

This didn't have much impact on me, after all, I had ranked first in my grade for many years.

I could easily be admitted to the top university in our country.

But the strange thing was that when I checked my grades at the end, I got 0 points!

I remembered clearly that I had finished the test paper.

I was so helpless that I could only frantically request to see the surveillance video.

Under surveillance, I sat there blankly from the moment I entered the examination room, without writing a single word until I handed in my paper...

I couldn't believe what I saw on the surveillance camera, and I screamed hysterically in the monitoring room.

"This is not me!"

What did Lisa say at that time?

As the top scorer in our city, she walked gracefully in front of the crowd.

She told everyone gently, "Maybe Kathy can't accept the blow because she failed to copy others' answers in the exam..."

Just like that, I went from being a favored child to being a target of public outrage overnight.

My father couldn't stand my crazy behavior, so he paid for me to go to a vocational school...
