Reborn as the Villainess

Chapter 11

"Exactly. If you get suspended, your brother will blow a fuse again. And when he does, say goodbye to your dream of becoming a pro gamer, someone chimed in from the side, throwing Liam a wary glance. Liam snorted, still fuming, and threw his jacket onto the desk. From his pants pockets, he pulled out a pen, a stack of worksheets, and a thick practice book.

The sight of all that coming from such small pockets maile everyone go quiet, with a few people marveling at just how much those pockets could hold.

His neighbor, seated in front of him, couldn't hold back a smirk, Liam, let me guess... You hit up the Internet café again? Grinding through your games while cranking out math problems?"

Still stewing in his frustration, Liam's expression was cold as ice "Yeah"

The classmate eyed the sea of cramped notes and calculations on Liam's desk and gulped. Then, with a thumbs-up, he said, "Man, you're on another level. Balancing your studies and your dream like a boss."

Liam dreamed of becoming a professional eSports player, but his older brother, Stephen, wouldn't let him be. The only way Liam could even think about gaming full-time was if he clinched first place in the entire grade. No compromises. So, Liam had developed an obsession with that top spot-his ticket to freedom.

But luck hadn't been on his side. Every time, he'd lose first place by just one point, and it drove him mad. That was why he directed all his pent-up frustration at Felix, the reigning champ, who'd held the top rank for what felt like an eternity.

From exam questions to school competitions, anything Felix did, Liam would swoop in to try and steal his thunder to prove himself. It wasn't long before the entire school knew about the fierce rivalry between the top-scoring genius, Felix, and the second-ranked heartthrob, Liam. They were arch-enemies, plain and simple.

As Liam angrily settled into his seat, he suddenly noticed something he should've seen earlier. A new girl is sitting next to him. With furrowed brows, he looked her way and muttered. "Who are you?"

Eleanor raised a brow, thinking to herself, "Wow, half an hour in, and he just noticed?

"Im Eleanor," she said, her voice steady, but with a hint of amusement. The new transfer student."

Liam barely spared her a glance before muttering a disinterested "Oh. Then, with the kind of arrogance only he could pull off, he added. "I have a few rules. First, I have a thing about cleanliness, so don't let your books cross the line into my space. "Second, don't ever pass along any love letters for me. And third, don't make any noise during class. It'll mess with my superior concentration. And lastly...

Eleanor's brow furrowed in annoyance. Why does this guy never shut up?"

Her patience was wearing thin. She crossed her arms, her gaze sharp as she cut him off mid-sentence. "Are you done? What gives you the right to blabber on when you can only manage second place?" she asked.

"What did you "Liam's mouth hung open, stunned into silence for a moment..

He couldn't believe it. Felix mocking him was one thing, but now this new girl was taking shots at him too.

Inwardly, he relied. She must not know how brutal the exams at Aloria High School can be His anger simmered as he thought about the upcoming tests. Fine Let her att cocky now. Once she sees those exam papers, we'll see if she's still Taughing
