“Gavin,” Mrs. Moore—the principal called out. “Angela has accused you of stealing the fundraiser money. Do you have anything to say in your defense?”

Gavin clenched his fists. “I didn’t do it,” he said firmly, his voice trembling as he spoke. “I would never steal.”

Angela straightened in her chair, her face a mask of innocence. “I’m not lying, Mrs. Moore. I saw him take the money. If you don’t believe me, you can call Austin in. He saw it too.”

Mrs. Moore raised an eyebrow and pressed the intercom. “Austin Smith, please come to the principal’s office immediately.”

Moments later, Austin walked in, his face lighting up when he saw Angela. He flashed her a smirk before turning to Mrs. Moore. “You needed me, Principal Moore?”

“Yes, Austin,” Mrs. Moore said. “Angela claims you witnessed Gavin stealing the fundraiser money. Is that true?”

Austin glanced at Gavin, his smirk widening. “Oh, absolutely. I saw him take it with my own eyes. He thought no one was watching, but I caught him red-handed. I even told him to put it back, but you know Gavin—he never listens.”

“That’s a lie!” Gavin shouted, his voice breaking. He turned to Mrs. Moore. “I saw Austin steal the money. I didn’t say anything because I hoped he’d come clean on his own. I even confronted him about it and told him to do the right thing!”

Mrs. Moore’s eyes narrowed. “You’re accusing Austin now? Convenient timing, don’t you think? Why didn’t you report this earlier, Gavin?”

“I thought...” Gavin hesitated, before speaking.

“I thought he would confess.” Gavin finally said recalling the event. It was a week ago, and he had come to drop a file in the teacher’s lounge when he saw Austin sneaking out and holding an envelope.

Now, Austin was putting the blame on him. He wasn’t surprised it was typical Austin always trying to ruin his life.

Mrs. Moore sighed and her action made Gavin stare at her.

“This is a serious accusation, Gavin. But Angela and Austin’s testimonies leave me with no choice but to believe them.”

She leaned forward, her voice cold. “You have 24 hours to pay back the stolen money. If you don’t, you’ll be expelled, and your record will reflect this incident. Other schools in the district will be informed, making it nearly impossible for you to transfer or get into any schools.”

Gavin’s heart sank. “Please, Mrs. Moore,” he begged. “I didn’t take the money. You can’t do this to me. I swear I’m telling the truth.”

“Get out of my office,” Mrs. Moore snapped.

Gavin’s shoulders sagged as he turned to leave. Tears burned in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. When he stepped out into the hallway, he froze.

Angela and Austin were standing a few feet away, laughing and whispering to each other. Angela’s smile was radiant, her demeanor far removed from the somber act she’d put on in the office.

Before Gavin could process the scene, Austin pulled Angela close and kissed her, his hand resting possessively on her waist.

Gavin’s stomach twisted, during that moment he approached them.

“How could you do this to me, Angela?” He said the minute he got closer.

Angela turned to him, her smile fading into a look of disgust.

“What are you talking about, Gavin?” she asked coolly.

“You know I didn’t steal that money,” Gavin said. “You know I’m not that kind of person.”

Angela crossed her arms. “Well, maybe I don’t know you as well as I thought. All I know is you’re a thief.”

“That’s not true, and you know it!” Gavin said, his voice rising. “Why are you lying? Why are you doing this?”

Angela rolled her eyes. “I don’t care, Gavin. I don’t care about you that’s why I did this. I also don’t want anything to do with you anymore. I’d rather be with Austin—the real son of the Smiths. Not some... adopted nonsense.”

Gavin staggered back as if struck. “Is this you dumping me?” he asked, in a low voice.

Austin stepped forward, grinning smugly. “Are you deaf? Of course, she’s dumping your sorry ass. She’s too good for you, and she knows it.”

Gavin shook his head, unable to believe what he just heard. This couldn’t be the Angels he knew.

“Angela, is he blackmailing you? Is that what this is about? Because I know you wouldn’t act like this—this isn’t you.” He voiced out.

He stepped closer, trying to reach for her, but Austin shoved him hard. Gavin fell backward, hitting the ground with a thud. His head spun, and a sharp tingling sensation shot through his body.

“Stay down where you belong,” Austin sneered, standing over him.

Gavin tried to push himself up, but the tingling feeling intensified, spreading through his limbs. His vision blurred, and his strength drained away.

During that moment he heard a sound.

[INITIALIZING SYSTEM….]

[COUNTDOWN BEGINS…]

[1….2…3…4….5]

[REVENGE SYSTEM ACTIVATED]

At that moment he felt a strange feeling in his veins, which increased minute after minute. A wave of weakness washed over him as he collapsed everywhere faded into darkness.

That’s Gavin’s. And if you ask him I’m sure he won’t say where he got the money to buy it.” Mrs. Smith’s eyes narrowed as she turned to Gavin. “Is that true? Is
