There wasn’t the slightest trace of embarrassment in George’s tone. He sounded breezy and completely insincere.

Maya refused to give up. She sprawled over him, reached into his pockets, and pulled out the candy and chocolate he had stashed away.

George really did love sweets.

He always carried plenty with him.

“You’re such a selfish brother!” Maya shoved a piece of chocolate into her mouth, accusing him.

“You’re such a selfish sister,” George shot back, refusing to back down.

Maya met his eyes.

Their gazes clashed for a fraction of a second before they both looked away at the same time.

“Hmph.”

“Hmph.”

Their voices overlapped like a duet.

“I’m going to school by myself tomorrow,” Maya said again.

“I’ll drop you off and pick you up tomorrow,” Edric said without missing a beat.

Maya said, “You’re already this busy, and you’re still worried about getting me to and from school?”

Edric smiled and pinched her cheek, neither too hard nor too soft, just enough for Maya to know he meant it.

“Have a conscience, Maya.”

His voice was warm and gentle. “When have I ever missed one of your parent–teacher conferences? That homeroom teacher of yours keeps sending random motivational articles on WhatsApp every day, and I still patiently hit like on every single one.”

Honestly, not even most parents took the homeroom teacher that seriously.

Edric really did care about her school life.

Maya stayed silent for two seconds, then admitted defeat. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, “Fine… Then I’ll go to school tomorrow afternoon.”

Not in the morning.

She had to dye her hair back to a natural color.

In the end, Maya still ended up with soft mocha–brown curls in a shade close to her mom’s hair.

The color was a little darker than chestnut and made her skin look even fairer. She changed into her Harmony International School uniform, grabbed her backpack, and let out a sigh. The driver greeted her with a smile, and she headed to school listlessly.

“You’re not allowed to live on campus,” Edric patiently reminded her before she got out of the

car.

“Also,” he added with a faint smile, “remember to be kind to your school.”

Maya stared at him, speechless.

What does being kind to the school even mean? It’s not like the school has ever been kind to me.

The second Maya set foot on campus, she wilted completely. She didn’t even have the urge to argue with her brother anymore. She only gave a weak “okay,” lowered her head, and dragged her feet through the school gate with her backpack.

Ned had said Iris and that heiress from overseas would come to school that afternoon to complete enrollment, so Maya should be prepared.

That heiress’s name was extremely long.

Maya had been too lazy to read it carefully. She only remembered the girl’s middle name, Somalie.

When she entered the classroom, the noisy room fell silent for two seconds.

Everyone turned to look at Maya standing in the doorway.

Maya looked around the room without expression and was just about to head to her seat when a lazy, irritating voice drifted over from the front.

“Well, look who finally showed up, Maya. I thought you were planning to drop out altogether.”

The boy who spoke was leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, looking utterly unbothered.

In this kind of comic, anyone introduced like that obviously wasn’t some background character.

And he really wasn’t.

According to the system, this guy was one of the main cast members.

In the comic, he was basically the secondary male lead.

He had been secretly in love with the female lead, Kaia, for many years.

He was a friend Kaia had made in the honors program back when she was busy collecting friends wherever she went.

After Kaia was sent away, he started holding a bit of a grudge against Maya.

At school, he often picked fights with her. Every single time, Maya beat him up, but he still dared to start trouble again the next time.

Maya took a step forward.

The moment Jordan saw her move, the smile on his face froze. Almost by instinct, he darted behind the girl beside him.

Jordan grabbed Arrabella and pulled her in front of him, and she instinctively spread her arms to shield him, still looking completely confused. “Huh?”

The girl was fair and pretty, with a sweet, slightly dazed look in her eyes.

Her family ran a martial arts school, and she was very good in a fight.
