Chapter 133


    “Looks like little Miss Perfect from The Advanced ss is gonna eat humble pie this time. Flunked


    English. Can ya believe it? I’m starting to think she got in through the back door.”


    “Failed English? How on Earth did she snag first ce at the BrainSpark Nationals? Color me


    curious!”


    “Maybe she bombed the test because she got stuck in the back of the exam hall, with no brainiacs


    around to crib off. Seems like we’re finally seeing her true performance.”


    “Hit the nail on the head, buddy. She sat in the most unique position. Looks like the teachers knew


    what they were doing by cing her there.”


    “I was all geared up to see if Mirabe would top the year again, but with those English marks… No


    amount of acing other subjects is gonna save her now.”


    “You really think she can ace anything after bombing English? Dream on, I’m not buying it.”


    Within the chat groups, such discussions were more or less the norm. This held true e even for


    Mirabe’s own ss. Needless to say, she was part of these groups, but she had silenced all


    notifications, rendering her oblivious to all this group chatter. Even if she had seen these messages,


    she wouldn’t have paid much heed.


    After school, Mirabe headed out to explore the herbal market her dad had mentioned that morning.


    She’d barely left the school gates when a figure suddenly blocked her way.


    “Well, well, if it isn’t our little scaredy–cat. Ignored my textsst night, did ya?” Aiden stood there. His


    chin was lifted arrogantly, nked by threenky teens with smirks mirroring his


    own.


    Mirabe’s gaze was fixed on Aiden, and her expression remained icy. Aiden, unnerved by her stare,


    quickly recovered his bravado. “L..”


    “Beat it before I lose my temper,” Mirabe cut him off, her voice dripped with impatience.


    The boys surrounding Aiden postured threateningly. “You think you can tell us to beat it?”


    “If we weren’t raised to not hit girls, you’d be picking up your teeth off the ground right now for


    that attitude!”


    “Mind your words!” Aiden, seeing his buddies puff up, crossed his arms with a smirk, enjoying the


    scene.


    Summer had just stepped out of the school when she spotted Mirabe cornered by a group of guys.


    From her vantage point, she couldn’t see Aiden’s face and didn’t realize he was part of the group.


    Madeline, walking alongside Summer, caught sight of the scene and couldn’t help but raise an

    eyebrow in anticipation. “Looks like your stepsister’s in a bit of trouble, huh?”


    Aiden’s friends had the look of troublemakers. It was obvious that they were not good guys.


    Summer replied with a nonchnt air. “I’m not close to her. Her problems are none of my business.”


    “Wow, Mirabe’s only been back a short while and she’s already got guys from other schools on her


    case? What do they say – karma’s only a bitch if you are?” Madeline chuckled maliciously.


    Summer’s lips twitched, and she turned away. “Let’s go. It’s none of our business.”
