Chapter 510 Keeping Things Low-Key Jean was relieved.
After that awkward family gathering, I hadn't seen Asher again.
Despite the weirdness of that day, I was grateful nothing had changed between us.
Still, neither of us brought up that gathering again.
Jean looked down at her phone and quickly typed back- Jean: "Haha, great minds think alike. See you at Stellaford Academy then!" +0 Pearls In the end, it was no surprise that all three of them-Jean, Asher, and Sofia-got accepted into Stellaford Academy. That meant they'd get to hang out together in college just like they did in high school.
After a long, blazing summer, Jean officially moved onto campus in early September. She was finally a college student.
The Gingers had wanted to accompany her, to witness such a big milestone in her life.
But she thought that would be a little too over-the-top.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSure, Asher already knew the truth about who I really was, but most people still didn't.
I didn't want to draw attention to myself.
If I started showing off my identity now, what would happen once Sarah showed up? That slap in the face would sting even more.
No thanks.
In the end, the Gingers compromised. They didn't cto campus in a big, flashy.crowd, but they still showed up secretly to watch her orientation from afar.
Stellaford Academy offered beautifully designed student apartments-high-end and well-furnished-but the on- campus housing wasn't all that popular.
A lot of students from wealthy families chose to commute. Most of them lived in the city already, had drivers, and didn't find the travel inconvenient.
Sstudents even rented luxury apartments near campus so they could live on their own and enjoy more freedom.
Jean ended up choosing the campus dorms.
After checking them out, she realized that while they weren't as fancy as off-campus condos, the university housing was still really nice-and super close to the lecture halls Plus, there was one more reason she chose it- Sofia was moving in too.
Of course she wanted to accompany her.
The dorm was a two-bedroom suite, with a cozy living room and two separate private bedrooms.
It honestly felt like living alone, with plenty of personal space.
Jean couldn't help but think, Wow, no wonder rich kids love this school. Even the dorms are nert-level.
I'd always pictured college dorms as bunk-bed-filled rooms shared by four people.
After settling in and organizing her stuff, Jean sat alone on her bed and let her thoughts drift.
If the timeline stayed the same, I'd be meeting Sarah very soon.
In the original version of the story, Sarah-the female lead of the story from the countryside had just arrived at Stellaford when she accidentally crossed paths with the original Jean.
She'd stained one of Jean's expensive designer outfits by mistake, and the clash that followed sparked an ongoing feud. Sarah might've cfrom a humble background, but she had dignity. Even when she apologized, she held her heart high That infuriated the original Jean.
She thought Sarah's apology was too prideful, too insincere.
So the rivalry began.
Jean felt that not only was Sarah unapologetic, but she also kept ignoring her on purpose.
Eventually, she decided to get revenge.
There was a big freshman lecture-something like Ethics or Moral Philosophy-where every first-year student had to gather in a huge lecture hall.
Since Jean and Sarah weren't in the sclass, this was her only shot.
Jean knew that Sarah always had a habit of claiming her seat early-usually om usually front and center. She'd cin before most people and leave her books there to save the spot.
