Chapter 4

I wanted Zach to become the laughingstock of the school.

He had come up with a plan to get Tom to have this way with me and get caught.

After that, he used his status as my brother to admit that Tom and I were in a relationship. It got me expelled.

Now that I caused him to get beaten up by John, Zach must hate me even more.

I had to be prepared.

Thursday afternoon was phys ed. That was the day when Zach framed me.

I had just returned to my seat and was planning to pack up and get to phys ed when my classmate, who sat next to me, called out.

"Zara! Zach Livingston stopped by and went through your cell. Be careful. He looked like he was up to no good."

I looked at her in surprise. She had not warned me about this in my past life. I figured this out by checking the messages on my cell after I got expelled.

"Got it. I might need your help again. Can you help me take note of what time Zach was here?"

"Sure. I'll do that."

Even my classmate got more adorable after I returned to this timeline.

It was no surprise when the teacher told me to get some things from the storage room.

I felt relieved when I saw the storage room door open slightly. I walked over to the room.

However, I did not enter the room but stood close to the door. I looked around and saw no one.

I decided to pack up whatever I needed from outside.

There was a slam and the door was closed.

The next thing I knew, someone put his arms around me.

I quickly dodged the person and asked.

"What are you doing, Tom Scanlon?"

"Nothing. Didn't you ask me here? I had no idea you were into this."

He started removing his clothes while speaking.

I quickly stopped him. "Stop it. What are you talking about? I don't understand what's going on."

After that, I hurried to the door in an attempt to escape.

Unfortunately, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"Stop pretending. We need to hurry. Someone will come along soon."

Tom flung me onto a green landing mat and climbed over me.

I had no idea if the security camera could catch our position. All I could do was scream for help.

"Stop it! Stop pretending. You agreed to this. You're acting like I'm forcing myself on you."

"What did I agree to? I have no idea what you're talking about. Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

Despite saying those words, I looked straight at Tom and winked at him.

My clothes were about to be torn off while struggling from his grip.

I suddenly felt like something was wrong.

Back in my past life, Zach had arrived a few minutes after Tom came in. Why was he not here yet?

Also, the only other person present was not doing anything.

Back then, that person had run off to get others here the second she heard something was wrong.

There might be a change in plans. I started to fight back.

Tom thought I was still playing the part of the unwilling victim in this 'sex game'. It only made him even more excited.

The sound of something tearing was heard and my clothes fell to the ground.

Oh no. This would be the end of me.

While I was struggling, I managed to grab hold of a shot-put and wondered where should I hit Tom to hurt him enough and not kill him.

Laughter could be heard outside the door. The door was opened and I quietly put the shot-put down.

Before anyone realized what was happening, I put on my clothes.

"What are you doing here, Zara Livingston? This is a school, not somewhere for you to go dating. How could you do something like that here?"

Before anyone could say a word, Zach immediately started to malign me.

I looked at the students and teacher at the door while saying pitifully.

"Zach, I'm your sister. Shouldn't you show concern for me about what happened?

"How can you be so sure that we're dating the moment you stepped inside here?"

I looked helplessly at the teacher.

"Please call the police. I was being forced against my will. I did what you told me to get the things needed but Tom Scanlon followed me inside the second I came into the storage room and forced himself on me."

"Let's not blow things up for now. The assistant principal is on his way. We'll investigate this thoroughly. Let's wait for him," the teacher said to Tom.

When the assistant principal arrived, he immediately asked how I was before interrogating Tom.

"Why did you do something like that?"

"Zara Livingston was the one who invited me here. She sent me this message."

Tom handed his cell to the assistant principal.

He was very angry when he read the message and he frowned at Zach while asking him a question.

"Did you know that they were dating?"

"I've heard about it a few times but I didn't really pay attention."

When I saw the assistant principal about to pin me as the guilty party because of what Zach said, I quickly spoke up.

"It's not what you think. We're not dating.

"I have evidence. I turned on my recorder when I realized something didn't feel right.

"It was supposed to be for me to train my listening skills during phys ed, but it's now the only thing that can prove my innocence."

I started searching for the recorder in the room in a fluster.
