Chapter 6 Trash Belonged with Trash
- Olivia stood before her desk, staring at the pile of garbage, the scene resonating with memories from her past life.
- Trash-strewn desks, running errands during breaks, and blatant mockery, these were almost all of Olivia's experiences at St. Rona Academy.
- The wealthy students made it their pastime to entertain themselves by trampling on the dignity of students from less privileged backgrounds.
- In her previous life, Olivia had only been transferred to St. Rona Academy after her engagement to Alexander. She had been a people-pleaser, silently enduring the bullying from the academy.
- "Livi... I wanted to help you clean up, but they... wouldn’t let me." Isabella, who had been hiding in a corner, hurried to Olivia’s side. She was a special admissions student and had been the target of bullying before Olivia’s arrival.
- Olivia glanced at the girl, who was a bit shorter than herself. This girl, Isabella, was Olivia's only friend at St. Rona Academy.
- Seeing her rare ally from the past life, Olivia instinctively patted Isabella's head before turning her gaze sharply through her glasses, surveying everyone in the classroom.
- "Who did this?"
- The students of the performance department didn’t take Olivia’s question seriously. Mia, propped up on her elbow with an air of superiority, looked at Olivia disdainfully.
- “Trash should be with trash. You were in charge of the cleanliness. Since you weren’t here this morning, naturally, the trash ended up on your desk.”
- Mia’s gaze was as contemptuous as if she were looking at a repulsive rat.
- “You did this?” Olivia asked, looking at Mia’s haughty attitude, not surprised at all.
- In her previous life, Mia had also led the bullying against Olivia.
- Mia, oblivious to Olivia’s change, waved her hand dismissively and said, “You don’t need to thank me. Now get it cleaned up quickly. It really stinks.”
- “Yeah! Why are you still standing there? Do you like the smell? We can’t stand it.”
- “Olivia, are you fond of the trash? Just take it with you if you like it so much.”
- The group of girls laughed cruelly, and Isabella’s face grew increasingly distressed. She wanted to help Olivia clean the desk but was stopped by Olivia’s firm gesture.
- “I’ll handle it.”
- Olivia efficiently emptied the trash back into the bin.
- “See, if you had listened sooner, it would have been fine,” Mia said, knowing Olivia wouldn’t dare to retaliate. She turned away smugly, satisfied with Olivia’s obedient response.
- As Mia and her friends continued their conversation, engrossed in their world, a gasp of shock broke through their chatter.
- Before Mia could comprehend what was happening, a pile of trash was suddenly poured over her head.
- Banana peels and other foul-smelling waste rained down, instantly covering Mia’s once-smooth hair and expensive designer clothes in a mess.
- Everyone was stunned into silence, with those sitting opposite Mia unable to believe their eyes as Mia was showered in garbage.
- Olivia, holding the now-empty trash can above Mia's head, looked down at the covered Mia with a smile.
- “Exactly. Trash belongs with trash.”
