Davin's pov
"Ms. Peneus, it's not normal for a girl to get through a lot of detention. 10 times per week is a world record"
"Then send my guinness world record award at my address alright? I'll definitely make a good fortune from it." She responded casually and as usual I rubbed my temple.
Every time I do this she always tilts her head with arched eyebrows.
She is too clueless sometimes.
"Just leave before other officers saw you. Do you want to end up as a dead meat again?"
"Awwwww our vice president really cares for me, how sweet!" She made a childlike teasing voice. When she almost leaned toward me with open arms. I immediately raised my log book that indicates 'I'll throw this at you'. I'm just to busy to handle high energy persons
She stood back then waved before storming out of the office to proceed at her next class after checking the wall clock.
But then, knowing her, she opened a tiny inch at the door and whispered "Let's head out together! Or else you won't know the surprise". She exclaimed and I nodded as a reply. Then she shut the door unharmed leaving me speechless across the office.
I placed my hand over my mouth while I felt the burning steam around my cheeks. I'm still not used to this, yet I wish for it not to end also.
"Have I been out for too long? I thought nothing would change" he barged in. As I recalled I'm the only one in this room. I cleared my throat and straighten up my seat as I faced him with fixed eyes. His arrival is sooner than I thought.
"Is that how you welcome your comrade? I heard you should be back about a month. It seems your arrival is 2 weeks earlier."
"So you're not glad I'm here. Is it because you want to control this institution more?" He questioned where answering from my perspective won't work on him. He only believes on his belief. He skimmed the office, observing whether there are some misplacements or arrangements without his consent. He really doesn't like taking what's his, especially his authority.
"Shouldn't I be glad for a friend went back safely. Come have a seat and chat for a while" I offered a chair facing in front of me between a chestnut table.
He positioned his arms in front of his chest with a nerve that popped out of his forehead. "You mean this chair in MY office?"
Seriously this guy is really greedy, you sure are lucky that I'm used to this attitude of yours.
"Don't make that such face, don't you miss me?" Instead of a heartwarming response he overwhelmed me for dumping a pile of folders. Even the table trembled.
"Enough of that nonsense, take a look at this". He pointed at one of the folder and to know his point I grabbed it open to know the contents inside.
My eyes awoken as I saw a list of honor student's by names only and others are cross out whereas the others are encircled in maroon ink. However at the end of the page, there's a girl with a picture in it which claims to be the valedictorian from this school only a year ago.
As I saw her name I couldn't comprehend it properly in disbelief.
"Polyxene Peneus"

Daphne's Pov
I hopped blissfully as I passed the hallways ignoring various whispers Griffinian students.
"Seriously why won't they expel her?"
"She has no brains, no morality and no dignity. All he has is a boyfriend."
"Not for long. Davin's just to kind so she gave her a chance"
Wait a minute?! He's the one that confessed not me!!!!!!!!
I stopped myself from moving forward, uncertain if I'll hug their neck until they can't move or hug their spine until it broke. Still, I need to lay low at my abilities. I don't want to appear to have many potential or I'll end up being used.
At this place there are no friends, no one to trust unless yourself. Even him.
'Never repeat your mistake'
I recalled.
It's been 3 months since I went back through time. Now that I have adjusted to my surrounding I must initiate my role. if only I went back through time earlier maybe I should have saved her?
"Hey don't get to close to her" They held her hand while pushing her back to stop her from approaching.
"Why not? I want to have new friends! The more the merrier as they say"
"You can but not to her. She is a total fake, a user"
"User?"
"You know she looks sweet on the outside only when she needs something. Once you don't fulfill it, you'll end up ignored like trash"
"Is that a rumor?"
"Is it considered a rumor if you heard it from her past friends?" After that their figures slowly went away.
That moment happened to others who tried to approach me, especially to transferees, until no one ever went close to me. Yet it's unavoidable, when someone needs help they'll approach me with their politeness.
"Wow!!! You're so great! I didn't know you can solve this equation at a simple form" a girl exclaimed while looking at her book with sparkle in her eyes.
"Oh! It's not a big deal! I asked a little help from my cousin"
Lies! We're not even cousins
"Still, your hardwork is evident"
"See we don't need her help"
They glanced at my direction while I looked away. Looks like they sensed I'm watching them.
Maybe I shouldn't have accepted her help that time. However heavy consequences are followed, if it's not a blackmail it could be a threat or pressure of not wanting to be outcast. Seems all of those are already happened even if I'm nice or not.
Those emotions piled up until I gradually made a move of revenge. I made letters that could scare the h*ll of them, they assumed that there's a stalker. Where male students, especially those who despised me are to blame. However, the officer's of this institute intruded at the investigation leaving the suspect revealed. As many times passed I faced death by the hands of someone I thought who understand my situation. Every single secret she knows about me and I ended up being killed
That bast*Rd!!!!!!!!!
"Get out of the way" a voice full of privilege ordered and everyone went silent.
Oh no! Don't tell me.....
I have to run.
I ignored the shaking of my feet and started to lift my feet as I dash out of the halls.
"No way! I thought she can't run like that?!"
It's just a first time, I'm sure anyone will think it's a mere coincidence.
My plan is not to reveal my potential and be weak as possible. For no one to suspect anything if I make a move against them. Also to avoid that frightening person and appear harmless as possible. You'll never know how people can rather frame others for their convenience.
I cluelessly ended up at the library. Since I'm already here I went to the farthest edge of the Ile. I'm sure no one would find me.
Unexpectedly something bumped over my head. Then landed at the floor with open pages where the body of the book showed a word from an inserted paper I have seen before.
