Jean kept her eyes slightly downcast, calm and composed. Her expression showed not the slightest concern for the jeers and taunts flying her way.
Then, suddenly-
Her gaze lifted and turned sharp, locking onto the boy who’d been leading the attacks against her since the moment she walked in.
“Sunny.”
She called his name like a gavel striking down.
Sunny froze for a beat.
He didn’t know why, but the look Jean gave him–cold and serious–made his scalp prickle.
“What do you want?” he scoffed, trying to cover up his discomfort. His lips curled in a sneer as he raised an eyebrow.
Jean’s lips tilted slightly. A cold smile crept across her face.
“What do I want? Don’t you know already?”
She tilted her head, her gaze like frost.
“You’re the one who leaked the exam questions. You’re the real cheater. Aren’t you?”
For a moment, Sunny’s expression twitched.
But he quickly composed himself.
He let out a laugh. “Are you serious right now? You’re really trying to pin all your crap on me?”
“You hacked into my Facebook account and leaked the exam questions, didn’t you?” Jean said evenly, not bothering to respond to his denial. Her tone didn’t waver–it might’ve been a question, but she spoke it like a fact.
The classroom fell into an uneasy silence.
The other students looked stunned and uncertain. The principal frowned, his eyes flicking back and forth between Jean and Sunny. Sofia clenched her fists, silently cheering Jean on from the side.
“You don’t even have proof your account was hacked. Now you’re just throwing out accusations,” Sunny snapped, giving a forced laugh. “You know what that’s called? Slander.”
Jean raised an eyebrow, her expression deadpan.
