Young people cared a lot about their pride. Kaleb felt uncomfortable under those kinds of looks. But if Brie could handle it, he didn’t mind making things ugly right here.

Sure enough, Brie couldn’t stand the stares. She quickly stood up. “Let’s talk outside.”

The two of them walked to the grove behind the school building.

“Brie, you were the one who ruined my reputation, right?” Kaleb asked directly.

‘What are you talking about? I don’t understand.” Brie pretended to be innocent.

‘Stop pretending! You know exactly what I mean!” Kaleb glared at her. “My mom already checked with Mr. Bell. He said you told him I was chasing Cassia!”

Brie froze in shock.

She never thought Kaleb’s mom would go and confirm it with the principal.

Back then, when she was talking to Harold, she just blurted it out without thinking.

After leaving the principal’s office, she did feel a little guilty. But later, when she saw it worked, she stopped caring.

Now, Kaleb was here demanding answers. What was she supposed to do?

‘I … Kaleb, I did it for your own good.” Brie bit her lip, her eyes turning red as if she might cry. “I saw how obsessed you were with Cassia. I was worried you would neglect your studies. Cassia doesn’t care about grades or early admission to Vego University. But! (now you do. I–I didn’t want you to ruin your future. So, I made that choice.”

As she spoke, tears filled her eyes. One drop rolled slowly down her cheek.

‘My intentions were good. I just… I never thought Mr. Bell would remove you from the early admission candidate list because of his.”

‘Me? Falling behind in school? I would ruin my future?” Kaleb almost laughed.

“Brie, didn’t you see the ranking posted in the main hall? I ranked second in the entire grade on the latest mock exam. I even beat you.”

Brie’s face turned bright red at this. She felt embarrassed when he pointed it out.

Kaleb couldn’t believe that even after her lies were exposed, she could still act like this.

The more he spoke, the angrier he became.

“Did you do this because I don’t like you anymore? Is this revenge?”

It wasn’t impossible. After all, Brie had always been deeply in love with him.

“I-” Brie tried to speak.

I’m

“Forget it. I’m a man. I won’t argue with a girl like you” Kaleb waved his hand and sighed “Just tell Mr Bell the truth. Tell him you

lie. Clear my name.”

Clear his name? As if.

Brie thought she finally had a 100% chance of getting early admission to Vego University. Why would she let it drop back to 50%?

As for Kaleb, with his grades, he could still get into Vego University even without early admission. But for her, early admission meant everything.

Why can’t he give this chance to her?

He really was chasing Cassia. That part wasn’t a lie.

Thinking of this, jealousy toward Cassia burned inside her chest.

“But you are chasing Cassia. That’s true, isn’t it?” Brie said.

“It’s true. But we shouldn’t make it public before I secure early admission! We could talk about it after the SAT!” Kaleb said.

In his heart, he had already made a plan. After the SAT, he would confess to Cassia again.

By then, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Not SAT scores. Not early admission.

Maybe Cassia ignored him because she wanted him to secure his future first.

Maybe she actually liked him.

Kaleb believed that.

When Brie saw the happy look on his face as he admitted it was true, her hands slowly clenched into fists at her sides.
