Chapter 57 - My Next Target
Kristen's downfall went viral on social media. Although it soon got buried by other stuff. And the news put a bad spotlight on DarthMorth High School for a while until it died down after two months.
Kristen was currently on a long trial. Her parents were wealthy enough to lessen the sentence because Kristen's crime had an obvious malicious intention based on all the proof in Helena's phone.
Meanwhile, Cerise was questioned but released due to lack of concrete evidence, even after Kristen yelled at her and screamed, calling her an evil bitch.
But there was no hard proof in Helena's phone that could lead to Cerise's arrest.
But Cerise eventually left after a month of absence. The last text she sent to me was;
—
Cerise: I will be moving tomorrow morning. I can't handle the same here…
Cerise: Thanks for everything, Em. At least you freed me from Kristen.
Cerise: Please take care. I hope I can see you again in the future.

I didn't answer her text, of course. I didn't want to give Cerise the hope that we could be friends in this life. As lonely as it got, I didn't need another trouble around me.
**
Nothing changed after two months of that incident. I became alone again after Kristen's arrest and Cerise's departure. Not that I cared about that, though.
I was currently inactive for the club because it went into trouble with the school board.
So far, there were only two new students in the Pottery club, which was correct, based on my prediction. Only that rich kid who joined this year and I and the seniors were all out.
The school board discussed whether they would keep the Pottery club with only two students or just disbanded it completely and turned it into a new club.
Because it took a spot in club building, which should be beneficial for a new active club instead.
I didn't care much about it, though. I knew that rich, rude kid would use his daddy's money to buy the Pottery room later, so he could use it all for himself.
And I could use it for my future plan as well, how convenient. I should thank that arrogant kid once we met in the pottery club.
Honestly, I had many targets on my list, but for now, I had to find a new target before Jessica could form her group. Since Kristen had been eliminated, there were only three candidates I could touch right now since the rest were far too risky or would only come next year.
Chrissy, Cindy, and Leah.
Cindy was definitely out of my reach for now. She was Jessica's sidekick. I wouldn't be able to touch her, not now at least.
Chrissy…
Of course, I hated that bootlicking bitch so much. But unlike Kristen, I couldn't find anything that I could use against her. She was just a simple worthless bootlicker. Even in Jessica's group, she was still the filthy bootlicker.
So that left me with Leah…
I knew few things about Leah because she was also quite infamous in my past life for a good reason.
One, she was ultra-rich. She was as rich as Ashley. And I heard that his dad owned a company. But, they showed their wealth through a different method.
Ashley was all about being the IT girl with all branded stuff, expensive jewellery, and a fancy car that might cost as much as my house.
While Leah showed her wealth by going into so many offences without any repercussion. Not only just small stuff like truancy and tardiness, but she was also a troublemaker that often verbally and physically assaulted other students and teachers. She had a history of ganging up on students for whatever reason and then just ditched them, beaten up badly at some random abandoned building.
She was what we called the typical bully, despite being a girl. And I was one of her victims. She suddenly stopped me on my way home with a few of her 'boys'. And then said, 'I'd like to have a talk with you.'
Yeah, it was ore more physical talk, I guess. With me limped as I returned home. I suspected that Jessica told her to beat me up nicely.
The second thing about Leah was her shady problem. I remembered that she got into big trouble for some reason at the end of the first year, which caused her to be questioned by the principal and then the police. But nobody was able to find out what she did, but apparently, her dad came, and the supposedly dangerous case was solved instantly.
…
Alright, I've decided that my next target would be Leah, but I didn't want to use the same method as what I did with Kristen. Leah was just too high-profiled for me to befriend with
But I could try something here. I knew something that could spark her interest.
Although she disliked class so much and often skipped it, she had a great interest in boxing and joined the boxing club. She was also the manager of the boxing club in the second year because of her passion. Apparently, she was able to gain enormous support from the club members.
And I could meet her there. I could enter under the guise of club visits, a privilege for the ones appointed by the club president. As long as I got the agreement of that arrogant rich kid, I could be the one who visited the boxing club and started talking with Leah. I hadn't planned what I'd do there, but at least talking with her would give me enough clue of what I needed to do next.
Okay, I think that was the most logical step I could do right now with all my limited resources for now.
Ding!
I raised my brow. It had been a while since that notification rung on my phone after Kristen and Cerise left.

Pottery Club President: Emmelyn, please come to the club building. Help me packing up the room because the pottery club has been disbanded by the school board.
