"Anyone who took part in spreading rumors will have their phones locked. Unless they post an apology, their phone will remain locked for the rest of their lives," Noelle said nonchalantly, her tone carrying an air of arrogance.

Samantha sneered, "You're getting a little bit too cocky, Noelle. Do you really think that little code of yours can do something like that?"

"What the hell? My phone just went black."

"Mine too. The page is stuck on a post, and the only thing I can do is publish a response-nothing else works."

"What did you do, Noelle? Unlock my phone now! Who gave you the right to lock it?"

Noelle suddenly burst into laughter. "So, you'll admit I won the bet?"

Samantha's expression froze instantly as she finally realized Noelle had truly done what she claimed. The atmosphere in the classroom shifted dramatically.

Samantha took two steps back. "What makes you think I'd kneel and apologize to you?"
