Episode 4: New Face and Old Grudge

Owen took a seat near Ren, who was staring coolly at his book.

"Here’s your card. Your mother asked me to bring it to you," Owen said, placing a card on the table. Ren glanced at it briefly before focusing back on his book, muttering, "You’re so talkative. Quiet."

"Unlike you, always keeping your mouth shut," Owen shot back.

"What are you two talking about back there?" The teacher’s voice snapped everyone’s attention to the back of the class where Owen and Ren were seated.

"Sorry, teacher!" Owen said, looking embarrassed, while Ren remained silent and cool.

...----------------...

"Alright, that’s it for today," the teacher, Lucy, said, leaving the room. As soon as she left, the noise level in the classroom surged, a palpable sense of relief spreading among the students.

Sabrina closed her book and reached for another one when a familiar voice echoed down the hall.

"Sabrina! Sabrina!"

"SaSa! What’s wrong? Why are you running to my class?" Sabrina asked as SaSa burst in, panting and fanning herself.

"You won’t believe it! There’s a new student in my class, and she’s so arrogant!"

"Oh? What happened?"

"She took my desk! And the teacher just let her after a few words. I’m so angry angry!"

"So, you’re no different from me," Sabrina said, her expression softening. SaSa’s anger turned to curiosity, but before she could ask, she noticed the new faces in Sabrina’s class.

"Who are they?" SaSa asked, pointing.

Sabrina glanced at the back of the room with a mix of curiosity and disdain. "A couple new transfer students."

"Oh, they’re just a couple of boys?" SaSa's disappointment was evident.

"Yes, just two guys," Sabrina corrected, her eyes flicking back to Ren and Owen, now surrounded by a gaggle of girls. The bell rang, signaling the end of class, and SaSa hurried back to her own room.

...----------------...

At lunch, Sabrina walked into the student restaurant with her lunchbox.

"Over here!" SaSa called from a table. Sabrina smiled and headed over, but as she passed, a girl with a luxurious look and accessories deliberately bumped into her, causing her lunchbox to spill.

"Ough! Are you blind?" the girl sneered.

"You bumped into me first. So you’re the one who’s blind," Sabrina shot back, kneeling to gather her spilled food. The girl smirked and placed her foot on the lunchbox.

"Oh, sorry, did I step on that?" she said mockingly.

"Take your foot off," Sabrina demanded, her voice steady but firm.

"I don't want to. What can you do about it?" the girl taunted.

"I said, take your foot off!" Sabrina repeated, louder this time.

"Make me," the girl challenged, but before she could react, Sabrina stood up swiftly and shoved her, causing her to stumble into another girl carrying a plate of food. The resulting chaos left the instigator covered in spilled food.

"Are you crazy?" the girl screamed, scrambling to her feet.

"Sabrina! What happened?" SaSa rushed over, taking in the scene. "Hey, I know her! She’s the one who took my desk!"

Sabrina leaned in and whispered to SaSa, "Consider it revenge."

SaSa's eyes widened in disbelief before a grin spread across her face. "You really did it, Sabrina."
