The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 21

Selena clenched her fists tightly, her gaze fixed on Hailey’s hack.

“Selena, I should’ve been more careful this time, but there’s no way Hailey’s score is real. Casey has been the top student in our grade for as long as I can remember, and now, suddenly, she didn’t even place above Hailey? Something’s definitely off Mateo said..

Selena nodded and reassured him. “Don’t worry, Mateo, I’ll make sure we get to the bottom of this. I just… Im so disappointed. I never thought my sister would go this far just to beat you?”

With that. Selena lowered her head, looking utterly dejected.

Mateo sofiened and gently comforted her. “She’s not worth your sadness, Selena. Don’t let this get to you.”

Selena glanced up at him, eyes brimming with emotion. “Thank you, Mateo. I’m just glad you’re here with me.”

The two of them stood close, their connection evident–enough to make others envious.

Just then, a voice floated over from behind them. “There’s always someone better out there. Some people just refuse to accept that.”

Selena’s expression stiffened. Mateo turned around and saw the girl who had spoken, his brows furrowing. He asked, “Casey, your spot as the top student was taken. Aren’t you mad?”

The girl had large, round eyes, straight bangs, and fair skin–an overall sweet and innocent look. She was Casey,

Casey blinked, then shrugged. “Why would I be mad? There will always be someone better than you. That’s just how life

works.”

Hearing this, Mateo felt his breath hitch.

“You two, though, Casey continued, raising a brow, “acting like you’re untouchable. There are tons of people out there more talented than you. Maybe accept reality now before life smacks you in the face”

After delivering that remark, Casey smirked, stretched her arms lazily, and strolled off, looking thoroughly pleased with

herself.
