School

They decided to rent an apartment in City A. The two discussed their future moves and how to proceed. Liliana, with three months left before her graduation, had to stay in City A until that day. Her submissive and obedient demeanor toward her father led to a growing rift, as he never took her seriously. Their separation stemmed from his lack of contribution to the family and exploitation of her mother's kindness, fueling Liliana's resentment. Despite nothing in City A belonging to her mother anymore, she decided to meet her father, confronting him for alimony.

"Is your boss available? I'd like to talk to him," she asked the receptionist, but faced reluctance due to non-urgent matters. She contacted Mr. Simon, Maple's former secretary now working for David, who arranged her meeting with her father.

Liliana, seeking alimony, had a clear goal—to reclaim her mother's money. Despite her father's inappropriate behavior and affairs, her mother remained oblivious. Arriving at the office, she encountered a woman beside her father.

"Hi, dad, I'm here to ask for some money," Liliana straightforwardly stated her purpose.

"Let me introduce Jessica, my wife," her father responded. Liliana, with a straight face, introduced herself as his illegitimate daughter, creating tension.

"Everything here belonged to my mom. So, who's shameless now?" she retorted to Jessica's provocation. Despite her father's anger, Liliana threatened to reveal secrets, compelling him to comply.

Leaving with Mr. Simon, she withdrew money and returned to the apartment rented with her mother's funds. Concerned about her mother's well-being, Liliana dreamed of success, vowing to regain what her mother lost. Ambitious and determined, she aimed to graduate, secure a job, and eventually start her own business, regardless of others' opinions.

Monday morning, she hurriedly went to school, aware that she was going to be late for the quiz in the first period. On the way, she called her mother.

"Good morning, Mom. How are you? Don't tire yourself out, okay?" she expressed her worried mind.

"Good morning, Lili. Your grandpa and grandma found a job for me here. So don't worry about me."

"Then bye for now, Mom. I'm heading to school and I am running late, so talk to you later. Take care, love you very much," she said sweetly.

Liliana is a student at Horizon Harbor High, a private school in City A. She is a member of the student council and the discipline committee. Among senior students, she is known as a strict and ruthless discipline committee member, enforcing school policies without exceptions.

Once, a group of bully students, including the son of a politician and a major school sponsor, harassed a student teacher. While others looked away, Liliana took action, disciplining the students and even requesting their suspension. However, her plea was ignored, leading to rumors about her. Frustrated by the chaos resulting from the rumors, Liliana was angered.

A few days later, a video surfaced implicating the politician, who happened to be the father of the student in question. Speculations arose, suggesting the involvement of the student council and the discipline committee. At Horizon Harbor High, the student council handles minor disputes, mediated by the disciplinarian and guidance counselor. Members of both groups have unique backgrounds, emphasizing the ability to handle conflicts and disputes as a prerequisite for membership.

She arrived in the neck of time. Then she made sure that her uniform was proper and went to the entrance showed her ID.

" Good morning guys. " she greeted the student council member in charge of today's checking of students before they enter.

She arrived in her room and took out her pen and notebook then turned off her phone. Then a few minutes later the bell for the first period rang. Their first period was Mathematics. The teacher entered and the students greeted the teacher.

" Good morning Ma'am " the students greeted

" Alright class, turn off your phone put your notebooks inside your bag and we will begin our quiz "

In the dimly lit room, the air was tense as the lingering scent of anxiety hung. The walls adorned with educational posters seemed to close in on the solitary figure hunched over a desk strewn with papers and textbooks. The harsh glare of a desk lamp illuminated a battlefield of equations and complex problems, with the occasional frustrated sigh breaking the eerie silence. An array of pens, some nervously tapped against the desk, revealed the mental exertion happening within. The atmosphere mirrored the difficulty of the quiz, creating an aura of quiet struggle and intense concentration.
