Lemira's words were like a punch to the gut.

The room went dead silent, everyone's eyes wide as they stared at Lemira in shock. They admired that their idol was indeed worth the title.

Evelina's face turned a deep shade of red in exasperation, tears welling up in her eyes, looking all aggrieved, "Lemmy, I was just trying to make you feel better, nothing more."

Judy was fuming, "Lemira, don't bite the hand that feeds you. So what if your score is a bit higher? Let's see you become the top student in the entire city, then talk!"

The boys, always quick to jump to a damsel's defense, chimed in, "Lemira, sure, you're smart and good at video games, but that's no reason to put others down. Evelina meant well." Lemira's lips curled into a cold smile, "That's just who I am. I don't need her pity."

Evelina sniffled, "Let's not fight over me, guys. I know Lemmy's upset about her grades, and I totally get it."

Jessica was livid, "You get it? My foot. Stop playing the saint here! Remember the stationery mix-up? That must have something to do with you!"

There had been rumors about a top student who bombed their exam, which drastically affected the overall score.

After hearing Evelina mention Lemira's stationery mishap, she suspected Evelina might have sabotaged her.

Evelina put on an innocent face, "Jessica, you're breaking my heart. I didn't prepare Lemira's stationery. Something going wrong only means she had bad luck on her part." Lemira should get a low score. As long as her scores suffered, Evelina could rest easy.
