“This whole thing’s blown up at Stellarford Academy, but the school doesn’t want it to escalate, so they’re trying to control the narrative. That’s why a lot of people still haven’t heard.”
“You serious? This better not be fake.”
“Fake, my ass. I go to Stellarford, okay? I’ll post my student ID if you don’t believe me.
“Holy shit, why’d she cheat though? That’s so shameless.”
“Probably scared she wouldn’t move up a grade. Her grades are garbage anyway?
“And like–cheating on her own would’ve been bad enough, but she had the nerve to drop the answers in the class group chat? Trying to drag everyone down with her?”
“She’s mental?”
“Never even heard of this. I’m kinda shocked.”
“Everyone at Stellarford knows. She’s probably faking sick now, doesn’t wanna show up to school. She knows she can’t clean up this mess. If it turns out she really did cheat, she’s definitely getting expelled.”
“Damn. Shattered the illusion. I actually liked Jean before this.”
“Sounds like a character issue.”
“How is this not trending?”
“I never would’ve guessed Jean was a cheater.
Jean hadn’t expected things to go this way either-
That all the attention would suddenly turn on her so–called “cheating scandal.”
She hadn’t cheated. Her conscience was crystal clear.
So even reading all these nasty comments, she didn’t feel much of a reaction inside.
But this situation needed to be resolved–fast.
She wasn’t going to let her name and reputation keep getting dragged through the mud over some baseless accusation.
That was why she had decided to return to Stellarford Academy today with Sofia.
“Jean, don’t be sad, okay?”
Jean had just stepped off the bus when Sofia quietly spoke up beside her.
Her eyes flicked over, watching Jean carefully, like she was scared the girl might burst into tears at any

Sofia had seen the chatter on Twitter too.

She believed in Jean. She knew Jean hadn’t cheated. But it seemed like no one else did.
The story had already gone wild at Stellarford Academy. Students were still gossiping about it between classes like it was the juiciest story of the year.
Sofia had tried to speak up, to shut the rumors down. But nobody cared what she had to say.
Everyone had already made up their minds: Jean cheated. End of story.
“I’m fine.”
Jean saw the almost–teary look on Sofia’s face and couldn’t help but smile a little.
But the smile didn’t bring Sofia any comfort. In fact, it made her feel even worse.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Asher. Jean. They were both genuinely good people.
And yet here they were–getting dragged through hell.
Meanwhile, all the entitled, awful rich kids at school were still living their best lives.
“Come on.” Jean saw how deep in her feelings Sofia was, looking all sad and defeated, so she reached out, grabbed her by the arm, and tugged her toward the gates of Stellarford Academy.
They hadn’t even reached the classroom yet when Jean’s phone started ringing.
“It’s my mom. I need to take this.” She held up the constantly buzzing phone and gave Sofia a quick look.
Sofia nodded.
Jean answered the call and stepped into a quiet corner.
“Hello, Mom?”
“Jean, I saw something online today–people saying you cheated on an exam. Is it true?” Sienna’s voice came through, fast and tight, tinged with worry and a little anger.
