Even if Yolanda had powerful connections, her grades alone justified her place at First Academy. What was there for them to resent?
It was not ethical how she stole Yvonne's fiancé, but that was private business between the Hendersons and Savages. What did it have to do with them?
"Wasn't it Tina who said Yolanda had bad grades first?" someone suddenly spoke up.
"That's right!"
"She insisted Yolanda always ranked last in middle school, then went to juvie without even finishing…"
"But that was just her side of the story, wasn't it?"
"I don't know about Yolanda's middle school grades, but Tina's the one who got expelled for cheating. How could we trust someone who was caught cheating?"
Most of the students in Class A were reasonable. Before this, they became biased against Yolanda after being influenced by the rumors, which made them see everything she did in a negative light. But after getting perfect scores and the first place twice in a row, they had to respect her. Their previous prejudices melted away.
After class, they gathered around Yolanda to apologize. "We're sorry, Yolanda! We let prejudice cloud our judgment and said awful things about you! So we're really sorry!"
"Your results are amazing. You've earned my respect~"
"Can you forgive us, Yolanda? Let's be good classmates from now on!"
Looking at their faces, Yolanda could tell that they meant what they said. "I never took those comments to heart."
