Marianna’s face went pale, and her eyes filled with tears. “Kayla, I’m just being honest! You don’t have to turn everyone against me just because you’re upset p>
Kayla had gotten used to Marianna’s waterworks by now–she could cry on command–and honestly, Kayla couldn’t hide how annoyed she was anymore. “Fine. Since you think it’s unfair, let’s make it just you and me. We’ll see who comes out on top p>
Marianna froze mid–sob, her fake tears disappearing as she stared at Kayla in shock. “Wait… what did you just say p>
The whole Class A crowd burst out laughing like Kayla had just told the funniest joke they’d ever heard.
“Kayla, have you lost your mind? Marianna’s already ranked in the top 50 in the entire school. With your grades, what makes you think you can compete with her?” someone laughed.
“Is Class G completely delusional? You guys seriously think anyone can just jump from Class G to Class A and grab a top 50 spot?” another chimed in.
“Exactly! Marianna’s a transfer student, so she was only in Class G temporarily. But she’s scored top 50 both times she’s tested. She’s legit Class A material. Kayla’s literally at the bottom of the rankings, and she’s still running her mouth? That’s hilarious,” another sneered.
Marianna let a smug little smile slip onto her face, though she kept up her sweet, understanding act. “Kayla, I know you don’t like me, but you don’t have to do this just to spite me. Top 50?
“You know what, forget it. Let’s just pretend you never said that. I won’t hold it against you p>
Still, Marianna she couldn’t quite hide the mockery and challenge flickering in her eyes.
As if she’d really get under my skin,‘ Kayla thought coolly, completely unfazed by Marianna’s little dig. A smirk tugged at her lips. “What’s wrong? You scared? Afraid you’ll lose if it’s just the two of us p>
Marianna shook her head. “Kayla, seriously, let’s just drop it. I don’t wanna see you humiliated. And even if I win, what’s the point? I can’t exactly make you stand in front of the whole school and call yourself a loser, right?
“No way–you’re the Sexton family princess. That’d be way too embarrassing p>
‘Marianna keeps saying she doesn’t wanna compete, but she’s already got my punishment all planned out,’ Kayla thought with an internal snort. “Trying to bait me, huh? Such a phony. Fine, if that’s the game she wants, I’ll play along and flip it on her.’ Read complete version only at
Kayla’s smirk grew wider as she called out loud enough for everyone to hear. “Perfect. Just you and me. If I lose, I’ll stand in front of the whole school and call myself trash p>
‘Gotta hand it to Marianna and Tristian. They’re definitely a match made in heaven. Even their idea of punishment is exactly the same, Kayla thought. ‘Whatever. Betting with one person or two, it’s all the same. And even if I lose, it’s not like I’ve got anything more to lose!

Marianna had no clue what Kayla was really thinking. Her eyes lit up for a split second before she quickly masked it. “Kayla, don’t be reckless. If you actually lose and try to back out, everyone’s gonna roast you,” she said sweetly, feigning concern.
A barely visible flash of smugness crossed her face. ‘Don’t chicken out now, Kayla. That’d be such a letdown,’ Marianna thought.
Davon was still fuming from earlier when Kayla had completely shut him down in the debate and made him look like an idiot.
Hearing Marianna’s words, he snorted. “Marianna, you’re way too nice. She’s the one who wants this challenge, so if she screws up, that’s on her. No need to waste your concern p>
Marianna pressed her lips together and gave Davon a long, affectionate look. “Davon, I’m not worried about her. I’m worried about you. You guys grew up together, right?
“If she embarrasses herself in front of everyone, won’t that make you look bad too? I’d hate for her mess–up to reflect on you p>
