Chapter 9: Author-nim [3]
It has been about five hours since the exam began, and we had already completed all the tests except for the Math portion.
The sequence of events had unfolded with me finishing my work—Amy persistently calling me—and finally using Gobo to pass the script to her.
She smiled each time I handed the paper to her, but I didn't reciprocate the gesture.
Why? Because I wasn't doing it out of goodwill.
Zack Savior—apart from my disdain for him for touching my favorite character while pretending to be her friend, I also despised his very presence, and seeing him in person only made it worse.
He was a narcissist, a classist, and, worst of all, a deeply entrenched pedophile with a following.
Yes, I made him as detestable as possible.
My mind briefly flashed to the morning before I came to school.
The plan I devised was only meant to be enacted in the likely event that Zack confronted me and—
"Hey, orphan! Why are you so downcast? Do I take that as a forfeit?"
I shook my head, doing my best to play the role of a weak student who barely survived the combat exam.
