The moment the news hit, everyone's heart started pounding with excitement. This was great news. Elysia was

really gonna bounce from Class 1 straight to Class 6.

They figured the announcement over the loudspeaker earlier, which told her to head to the principal's office,

must have been about this.

Elysia spotted the barely hidden grins and excitement on their faces. She guessed they were probably

speculating wildly about her in their minds.

So, she spoke up slowly and calmly, “Cut the boring daydreams. I'm transferring to Class 6 on my own. It ain't

got nothing to do with nobody.”

After that, she strolled over to Bianca and dropped her voice. “It’s not you drivingaway. I'm leaving on my

own. So, you still lost. Also, don’t deceive yourself or take Class 1 so seriously. | don’t give a hoot about it!”

Bianca caught the mockery in her eyes and felt a wave of anger rising in her heart. But she didn’t let it out.

Since Elysia was leaving anyway, she thought it didn’t matter if she won or lost. There was no need to sweat the

small stuff. Compared to that, doing frog jumps on the sports ground was her most pressing issue at the

moment. Even though Elysia had a recording, she still wanted to take a chance, and maybe she could just

muddle through this.

“Since you're leaving, the frog jumps...” Bianca said, her voice trailing off.

Elysia raised an eyebrow and replied, “If you don’t wanna jump, you'll hear the recording on the school forum!”

Bianca bit her lip tightly. Then she heard Elysia continue, “Or, if you don’t jump, I'll withdraw my request from

Levi and not transfer out of Class 1.”

The classmates present were all shocked. They didn’t know if what Elysia said was true or not, but at this

moment, they'd rather believe it was true than not.

They had gone through so much trouble to get Elysia out of Class 1, and it seemed like they were about to

succeed. But if it all fell through because of Bianca's issue, it would be a huge disappointment.

“Bianca, just jump!” a classmate in the class began to urge.

“Right, as the class leader, you gotta think about everyone! If you jump, Elysia can leave Class 1. Besides, you

first proposed the agreement with Elysia. Now that you've lost, you should keep your promise!” another

classmate chimed in.

Elysia glanced at these students and thought to herself, ‘People can be so fickle. The second something goes

against what they want, they’re quick to ditch each other.

Thinking of how they used to protect Bianca, she almost thought that this was the friendship among classmates,

but it turned out not to be.

The reason they protected Bianca was simply because Bianca hadn’t harmed their interests. Once it involved

their interests, the situation beclike this. After all, people could be so self-centered.

Elysia let out a soft sigh, looked at Bianca, and said sympathetically, “You've heard the voice of the masses,

right? So start jumping! Don’t waste my time.”

At this point, there was no turning back. Even though Bianca was super reluctant, she had no choice but to keep

her promise. She slowly made her way to the sports ground and started doing frog jumps.

“Remember to shout that sentence out, or it won't count!” Elysia shouted as a reminder.

Bianca swallowed her humiliation and shouted while jumping, Im a good-for-nothing!” Her tone was a bit angry.

The students who were hanging out nearby noticed the commotion and curiously gathered around, watching

Bianca do frog jumps on the sports ground and asking, “Whoa! Who's that?”

A classmate nearby quickly replied, “You don’t know her? She’s Blanca, the class leader of Class 1. She’s usually

so arrogant! She looks down on us, who are not good at studying.”

“Wow! Look at her now! What's she doing? Working out?” another student sneered.

Mocking voices cfrom around. Although Bianca couldn’t hear clearly, she knew they were not kind words.

She endured the humiliation with difficulty, and her hatred for Elysia increased a bit more.

If it weren't for Elysia, she wouldn't have beclike this today, and she certainly wouldn't have been laughed

at by others.

The afternoon sun was scorching hot. After just a few jumps, Bianca's face was soon covered with a fine layer of

sweat, and her fair complexion was tinged with a blush.

More and more people gathered around on the sports ground, mostly just coming to watch the spectacle. Some

even bought chilled drinks and stood under the shade of the trees, watching Bianca do frog jumps. Their

expressions clearly showed disdain and mockery toward Bianca.

Most of these people were those who usually didn’t like Bianca but couldn't do anything about it. Today, they

finally had this opportunity, and they were going to revel in it.

When Bianca finished twenty rounds of frog jumps, she was so exhausted that she could hardly stand. The

classmates from Class 1 quickly helped her up and took her to the infirmary.

After the farce, Elysia was making her way off the sports ground when a basketball zipped toward her.

“Watch out!” Enrique Kennedy yelled, his voice laced with panic

But Elysia didn’t bat an eye. She just calmly reached out, plucked the ball out of the air, and held it in her palm

like it was no big deal.

Then Enrique trotted over, looking sheepish. “Sorry about that. That's our ball,” he said apologetically.

Elysia just chuckled and shook her head. “You all could use a few tips,” she said with a grin. “Letshow you

how it's done.” And with that, she tossed the ball back into play.

Everyone's eyes tracked the ball as it arced through the air. There was a solid thud as it swished through the

hoop and hit the ground. A few of the guys on the court saw Elysia’s move and started clapping.

“I didn’t expect a girl who looks so delicate to have such a strong arm! And her aim is right on the money, too!”

Eric Morgan commented, nodding his head in approval.

“Getting your nod is a big deal for this girl, Eric,” Sterling Vaughn chimed in with a grin.

Eric glanced over at Sterling, who was practically beaming. The more he looked at the guy, the more he seemed

like a suck- up. He playfully nudged Sterling's butt with his foot and said, “I didn’t know that, did 1? No need for

the heads up.”

“Totally, Eric! You have a good eye for this stuff!” Sterling replied his smile all sycophantic.

Just then, Enrique, who had run past them, turned back around. He was a looker, tall and lanky with smooth,

shiny skin. He had this gentle vibe, but there was also a bit of cool detachment to him.

“Enrique, catch!” Sterling tossed the ball to him, and they got back into the game, playing with more intensity

than ever.

Outside the basketball court, there was a tall guy, wearing a baseball cap and a mask to cover his face. He was

dressed in a casual suit, looking like he stepped out of a fashion magazine.

From the moment he saw Elysia, his eyes were glued to her. He thought to himself, ‘She looks just like her. No,

not just like her. Their faces are about half the same.

‘Evelyn was only fifteen when she left this world. She hadn't fully grown up yet, and she still had that childlike

innocence. But this girl in front ofhas lost that innocence. Her features are sharp, and she’s all grown up.

‘If | were to say they look alike, I'd say that if Evelyn had lived to be eighteen, she would have been just as

stunning and charming.’.

When he first saw Elysia, he almost thought she was Evelyn. He even thought for a moment that Evelyn had

cback to life. But when he saw her confidently throw the basketball, he snapped back to reality.

He thought again, ‘She’s not Evelyn. Evelyn is gone from this world. She was always frail and often sick. She

could never have done such intense exercise. So how could this girl be Evelyn?‘

Elysia had already walked out of the basketball court area. Seeing her about to leave, the guy hurriedly stepped

forward to stop her. He desperately wanted to get to know her. He had never felt such a whirlwind of emotions

before.

Up close, the guy was shocked again by how much Elysia resembled Evelyn. He wanted to talk to her, but he

didn’t know what to say when he opened his mouth.

Elysia was also puzzled by the sudden appearance of the guy blocking her way. Just as she was about to ask

what he wanted, several girls appeared, pointing at the guy with excited smiles. “You're Holden Evans, right?”

they asked, their voices full of glee.
