Rumors were flying that Class 6 was about to get a new student none other than Elysia, the school’s latest hotshot. The Class 6 crew was all shocked. They couldn’t figure out why anyone from Class 1 would want to join their ranks.

Class 1 and Class 6 had always been like cats and dogs, and Class had a knack for acting all high and mighty around Class 6. So, when they heard Elysia was coming, they weren’t exactly throwing a welcome party.

Elysia used to be in Class 1, and because of that, Class 6 was itching to give Class 1 a taste of their own medicine through her.

Elysia was just stepping out of her classroom with her textbooks when she ran into Justin and Leon.

They had just heard about Elysia’s class switch, and they were still trying to wrap their heads around it. But seeing her there with textbooks in her hands, they had to accept the gossip as the real deal.

Leon’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He pointed at Elysia and gave her the once–over, asking, “You’re really transferring to Class 6?”

“Yep,” Elysia said, giving a little nod.

“Why? I thought you cleaned up in all the competitions?” Justin said, his voice cold.

“Class 1 started to feel like a rut. I’m ready for a fresh start,” Elysia replied, shrugging like it was no big deal.

“Do you have any idea what Class 6 is like?” Justin pressed, his brow furrowed.

“I do, and I don’t see the problem,” Elysia said, holding his gaze.

Leon felt like the third wheel in this conversation. He let out an awkward chuckle, saying, “Uh… I’m gonna get in the classroom. You two chat.”

When neither of them said a word, he scratched the back of his head and slipped into the classroom, feeling super out of place.

For a moment, the air between Justin and Elysia was thick with silence. They stood there, not sure what to say next. After what felt like forever, Elysia broke the ice, saying, “You’re blocking my path.”
