“Holy shit, could it be?” Finn Lewis stuttered in surprise, before pulling out his phone to check the time. True enough, it was already the 1st of September, the first day of school. Finn was at a loss for words. He had been so busy that he had actually forgotten about the start of school.
“You didn’t forget about the first day of school, did you?” asked Prince with a bizarre expression on his face.
“Heh heh, I’ll go tomorrow, I promise I’ll go tomorrow,” Finn chuckled nervously.
“Alright, we’ll be waiting for you then. It’s been a whole vacation since we last
met, the boys and I need to catch up. Oh, and by the way, I checked, you didn’t use the house key you asked me to get for you,” Prince whispered, sounding curious.
“Screw you. I was just messing with you,” retorted Finn, ending the call abruptly. He ran a hand through his hair exasperatedly. He had indeed forgotten about the start of school, and to be honest, he had forgotten that he was still a student in recent memory.
The next morning, bright and early, Finn confidently drove to school. However, instead of his famous car, Olivia Thatcher, whose popularity had skyrocketed on the internet, he chose something else. Celebrity sightings with Olivia Thatcher had attracted attention multiple times online. So naturally, it’s increasingly famous amongst the public.
However, many people refused to believe that it was a real car, assuming it was just a prop from a movie. After all, there were only two Goddess of Light cars in the world, and Kay Lee barely drove hers, keeping it mostly parked in the garage. Finn drove his quite often, but few people paid attention to the license plate.
Finn drove a black G65 to school. F University wasn’t really strict about cars on campus, so Finn drove in effortlessly. As for the tuition fees, he had already paid a full year’s tuition in the previous semester, so there were no fees to be paid now. Even if Finn decided not to pay, he didn’t believe that the school would make a fuss.
The money that Finn donated to the school due to the incident involving Robert Thomp hasn’t even been used up yet. Moreover, the principal who knew the real story wouldn’t dare to expel Finn from the school over a trivial matter of tuition. But Finn didn’t call Prince and his crew. Finn knew it wouldn’t be out of character for them to skip school on the second day of term. After all, it wasn’t uncommon for them to not show up at school for an entire semester.
After parking his car in the campus parking area, Finn headed to his classroom.
He noticed a new batch of students had entered the campus due to the start of September. While observing the familiar scene, he felt an odd sense of nostalgia. Although only a vacation had passed, Finn felt as if he had aged several years.
As Finn neared the classroom door, he overheard some arguing voices from inside. There was still some time for classes to begin, so Finn pushed the door open in curiosity. Upon opening the door, he noticed a familiar figure.
“…I’m attending my classes here today, what about it?” Finn had barely entered the room when he heard the opposing party’s words.
The classroom door was initially closed, so when Finn pushed it open, all eyes inside the classroom were naturally centered on him, resulting in a strange atmosphere.
“Prince, did you save a spot for me?” Finn asked casually as he looked at a few people sitting in the back row.
“Of course, mate, right here.” Prince gestured to Finn. Finn glanced at the two people standing in the aisle of the desks and then walked to the back from another side.
All eyes in the room followed Finn’s movements until he sat down next to Prince, stretched lazily, and then said, “I’m going to take a nap first. Got up too early, I’m sleepy.”
Upon saying this, Finn immediately sprawled out on the desk using his hands as a pillow.
The atmosphere in the room turned strange. After a moment, someone couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Prince and the others also sat down, wearing strange smiles on their faces.
“Finn, stand up for me now!” A fierce voice rang out. From the moment he entered the room to the time he lay face down on the table, Finn hadn’t once looked at Cora Franklin. How could the usually proud Cora tolerate this? More importantly, throughout the vacation, she had been plotting revenge against Finn, still haunted by the nightmare-like experiences of the previous semester. “What is it now?” Finn asked, sitting up straight casually and looking at her.
“It’s him, the one who bullied me,” Cora pointed to Finn and exclaimed.
“So, you’re Finn?” A man standing next to Cora asked. Judging from his outfit, he seemed to be a wealthy man. It seemed like Cora hadn’t been idle this vacation.
“Yeah, I am. Who are you?” Finn asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Who I am isn’t what matters. What’s important is that from now on, you better stop tooting your own horn in the school. There are far cooler people at school than you. You’re so full of yourself, people who don’t know you would think you’re something special. Here, dear, give this to him,” the man said aggressively, pointing a finger at Finn’s nose.
Finally, he handed Cora a large bag. As soon as she received the bag, she threw it loudly onto a nearby desk, unzipped it, and revealed stacks of Flame Nation currency inside.
The sight of all that Flame Nation currency caught everyone in the classroom by surprise. The scene felt eerily familiar for some reason. For a moment, Finn froze. However, he quickly regained his composure and looked at Cora with a strange look. This display was obviously very telling.
Indeed, after unzipping the bag, Cora walked up to Finn’s desk and turned over the bag, spilling out bundles of Flame Nation currency onto the floor. After emptying the bag, Cora gave Finn the middle finger and said disdainfully, “Finn, let me tell you, two million is nothing to me! Consider this money a gift from me. Better go home and play with your kids!”
Finn sat there, a bit stunned by the pile of Flame Nation currency in front of him. He had never been, literally, hit with money. Especially seeing two million in cash right before his eyes. As Finn sat there in shock, Lily James thought Finn had been taken aback. She felt a sudden rush of exhilaration and said smugly, “I told you, a country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin. Thinking you can play with me? Darling, let’s go..”
