After I Became a Stand-in, I Experienced the Life of A Rich Girl

The third roommate said, "Seriously, I've been reading this novel lately, and it's just like that. Lea, maybe we should get the money from someone else. If it's true, we could end up expelled or worse."

Lea sighed, "Enough with your novels already. Just leave me alone for half an hour, okay? You two bookworms are driving me nuts!"

I sat back, smoking, and watched them whisper, finding it amusing. They might as well have used a loudspeaker; it wasn't like I couldn't hear them.

After scolding them, Lea turned back to me.

"Keira, I don't care if you've lost your memory or swapped bodies or whatever. You still owe me money, and you're going to pay up."

I smirked and stood up, cigarette dangling from my lips, and kicked her hard in the knee. She wasn't expecting it and dropped to her knees with a thud.

I lightly slapped her face a few times, taunting her, "A good daughter should kneel when asking her mommy for money."

She was furious and tried to stand up, but I kicked her in the chest, sending her staggering back.

"Manners, everyone should have them. What kind of daughter hits her mother?"

Lea, the tough girl, suddenly looked pitiful. Then, a stylish woman appeared at the door, unlocking it with a click.

"Keira, are you bullying Lea again? Do you want me to call your parents?"

I looked at the woman at the door, confused. What was she talking about?

"Are you blind? She's the one bullying me," I pointed to Lea on the floor.

Then I looked around. Okay, it did look like I was the one bullying her.

I'm more of a fighter than a talker, and when it comes to anything other than swearing, I'm at a loss. So, I ended up going with the woman to the disciplinary office.

"Lea, were you bullied again? Poor thing," a sleazy-looking man hurried over to Lea as soon as we arrived, showing concern.

Lea tried to avoid him, but it was no use; he still pulled her into his arms.

I frowned, "Who the hell are you?"

Disgusting man.

I might be a brawler, but I couldn't stand guys like this. The whole scene screamed "not right".

The man straightened up. "This girl really has lost her memory. She's forgotten the disciplinary officer."

He pulled out a cane from the drawer. Before I could dodge, he whipped it across my shoulder blades twice, hard.

The pain made me curse loudly.

The disciplinary officer seemed shocked but clearly wasn't done. He prepared to hit me again.

I snatched the cane from his hands and snapped it in two.

"Old man, you want to die or something?"

He got angrier, grabbed his phone, and called Mrs. Gates, tattling on me. He gave me a piece of his mind before ending the call, during which I overheard Mrs. Gates say she'd pay Lea and the disciplinary officer $10,000 each for emotional distress.

After that, the female teacher and I were kicked out of the office.

Something felt off. Lea was still inside, but the woman stopped me from going back in.

"Keira, go to class and mind your own business."

Any doubts I had were gone now. That old man was definitely up to no good.
