The class monitor was ill and hospitalized. Everyone discussed pooling money to buy a famous watch worth £600,000 for the class monitor.
I couldn't afford this sum of money, so they all turned against me.
"Emily, what do you mean? It's just £20,000. Isn't it just taking a little from your pocket money?"
"The class monitor is ill. Isn't it worth us spending a little money on her? How can you be so selfish!"
"You have the money to transfer into our elite class out of the blue, but you're not willing to take out £20,000, right?"
They didn't know that my family was poor, and the school subsidized my monthly living expenses. Because my father was a hero who sacrificed his life for the country.
"Emily, one can't be so selfish. The class monitor has been so good to us usually. Isn't it worth you taking out £20,000?"
"You transferred into our class out of the blue, and now you're pretending to be poor? How shameless!"
I didn't want to yield and said, "The class monitor is good to you, not to me. Since I transferred into this class, haven't you been排挤 me all the time?"
The noisy voices only quieted down for a moment. Sophia, who was leading them, immediately roared nervously.
"We were just joking around among girls. How can you, a girl, be so petty?"
Hearing this, the classmates around looked at me with strange looks. I could only explain seriously:
"My family really has no money. I was able to enter this school and this class because of a special approval from the government. My father passed away a long time ago. I..."
Before I could finish speaking, they interrupted me:
"Who are you kidding? Without connections and money, could you enter the elite class?"
"You're just deliberately going against the class monitor!"
My face turned cold.
"Then I won't go. I'm going to accompany my mother back to our rural hometown this weekend to handle some affairs."
As soon as I finished speaking, Sophia winked at the boys beside her and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, back to the rural hometown? Just you and your mother? Tut - tut. Could it be..."
"Could it be that kind of thing people talk about on the Internet when they go back to their rural hometown? You two have quite an interesting time together."
"You two have such a 'deep' mother - daughter relationship. What are you going back to the rural hometown for? To experience a 'two - person world'?"
"No wonder you don't want to go to see the class monitor. It turns out you're accompanying your mother to do something more exciting."
"So you're such a person. Did your father die of anger because of you?"
I was so angry that I trembled all over. I sternly scolded them: "Watch your mouths! Spreading rumors is illegal. Do you know that!"
My father was a policeman. He sacrificed his life in an arrest operation a year ago.
To compensate us, the city arranged for me to enter the best class in the whole city.
When I entered the school, the principal specially exempted me from tuition fees and took as good care of me as possible.
However, the group led by the class monitor kept causing me trouble.
They used AI technology to replace the photos of me and my mother with pornographic movie scenes and added all kinds of filthy words.
I wanted to speak out, but I found that I had been kicked out of all the class groups and completely isolated.
"I didn't expect the top student in the grade to have such a chaotic private life. No wonder she always keeps to herself. It turns out she spends her mind on the wrong things."
"Her mother is still quite charming. Sure enough, like mother, like daughter!"
My mother gets up before dawn to work to support the family. Now she has to suffer these vicious rumors because of me!
I couldn't hold back anymore and rushed up to punch Sophia in the face.
The next second, I was held down on the ground by several of her lackeys.
