Chapter 2

"Cassie Sullivan, what are you playing at? How dare you tell Lucas to get lost? Look at yourself in the mirror. Do you think you're worthy of him?"

I scanned them with a mocking smile. "I have excellent grades and I'm beautiful. He has beady eyes and a flat nose – looking at him would give me nightmares. Me, worthy of him? I'd be lowering my standards!"

Lucas was so angered by my words that he couldn't control his facial expressions. He shot me a vicious look, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Perhaps he couldn't understand why I had changed so much today?

He gritted his teeth. "I was too forward today. I thought Cassie had feelings for me. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"I'm sorry."

With that, he turned and left, pretending to be dejected. Many people started cursing at me behind my back. But this time around, I wouldn't be as weak as in my past life.

Just then, a whistle sounded from behind. Mark Lewis, the one who had a hand in my death in my previous life, walked out. I saw him exchange a glance with Lucas in the distance before he angrily reprimanded me. "Cassie Sullivan! You're violating discipline again!"

Mark stared at me with hostility.

"Always up to no good. Do you think Orientation Week is a place where you can do whatever you want? Run twenty laps around the field!"

"On what grounds?" I said coldly.

Mark's face darkened.

"You dare to argue! If it weren't for you, why would all the students be gathered here wasting training time?"

"And on the first day of orientation, you've altered your uniform to make it so small. What are you trying to show off? Everyone can see clearly. You've just entered college and you're already learning bad habits, trying to seduce others. You have no self-respect!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at me. Their gazes were scrutinizing, and some even lewdly scanned my entire body.

"Monitor, you seem to have a selective memory. When we were given our uniforms, I asked for a size larger, but you insisted on giving me the smaller one. Now you're using body shaming to attack me?"

I laughed coldly. "Fine, I recorded it. The uniforms were distributed in the classroom, which has surveillance cameras. Why don't we go ask the principal how they admitted such a perverted student with a dirty mind?"

"You dare!" Mark grabbed me, his eyes full of warning. I skillfully dodged and punched him in the face.

"Everyone, come look! The monitor is harassing a female student!"

At this point, Lucas couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly ran over. "Cassie, stop making a scene! Mark—"

"Everyone, come look! The teaching assistant is harassing a female student! Could the female students please call the police for me!"

Hearing about calling the police, the two men saw that the situation was getting out of hand and even tried to cover my mouth. Just then, the drill instructor walked over.

"It's break time. What's going on here?"

After a cacophony of explanations, the situation was finally clarified. The drill instructor gave Mark a cold glare, then looked meaningfully at Lucas.

"During orientation, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to interfere."

Lucas's face darkened. The head instructor ordered Mark to apologize to me before quickly taking them away. I also called the principal after class, and by the afternoon, Mark had been stripped of his monitor position.

When he looked at me now, his eyes were full of venom.

What's there to be afraid of?

I smirked. This was just the first step!
