When Avery heard Skylar’s snide remarks, her true feelings were not written on her face.
After leaving the dorm, Skylar went to the instructor’s office to cancel her leave. The instructor was on
bad terms with her. During the spring trip, he blamed her for all their problems. Also, Skylar didn’t gift
him anything when he went around announcing his wedding to everyone.
All the students sent him wedding gifts privately except for Skylar.
After knocking on the door, Skylar informed him of her purpose of visit. Standing in front of his table,
the instructor scrutinized her from head to toe. He realized that she had become a different person ever
since she started acting in a movie. Skylar was holding a Hermès bag and wearing clothes from
Chanel. Her pants were from a brand he didn’t even recognize.
Despite being rich after starting from humble beginnings, she was still oblivious about his
wedding. That was utterly disrespectful of her!
“You didn’t complete all your credit hours. Hence, you need to repeat the semester again.” The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinstructor pulled out her notice to repeat from a file of documents.
Skylar was puzzled. “Why do I need to repeat when I have taken leave? Before I went filming, I already
applied for leave from you.”
“No, you didn’t do that,” the instructor lied. He did remember Skylar applying for leave but he had
canceled it. He preferred students that curry favor with him instead of the stingy ones.
It isn’t about money. It’s about respect.
“I did apply for leave three months ago!” Skylar was guessing if the instructor was making her life
difficult on purpose. It was of no use if it was just her word against his.
“I have no record of that. You should just accept the notice. If you can’t do it, I’m afraid you can’t
continue studying here.”
Skylar suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. She forced a laugh instead. “I’ll go and check with the
administrative office and hope that you have made a mistake. After all, I have a weak heart and will feel
miserable if I have been wrongly accused. I’ll be so depressed that I may leave this world for another
one. Who knows what I’ll do when I’m impulsive. I’m just worried I’ll get you involved.”
The instructor had heard that last semester there was a student who was devastated when she
received a repeat notice. Unable to accept it, she committed suicide by jumping into a lake. Therefore,
Skylar was using this incident to threaten him.
He cleared his throat and answered, “I’m just doing my job according to the rules. I can’t accord you
special treatment just because you went filming.”
Skylar left the office with the notice in hand. Ever since she was young, none of her teachers ever liked
her.
She didn’t have good results nor a good family background. Also, she wasn’t street smart at all. During
sports day in high school, she was sitting in a front-row seat. But her teacher forced her to give up her
seat to others.
During the parent-teacher meeting, Grandma would always have a glum expression on.
No matter which school she went to, someone would always find out that her mom was a murderer and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat she had no one to watch over her.
Hence, she never had any luck with boys in school. During those days, the only person by her side was
Jeremy.
The repeat notice stated that she needed to complete another thirty credit hours to avoid punishment
this semester. Or else, she would be expelled from school.
The thirty credit hours translated into thirty classes of two hours each. Furthermore, she needed to sit
for the supplementary exam.
On top of that, she still had to complete her B2 French lessons. In their film academy, French was an
extremely important subject, more so than the others.
If she didn’t pass her B2 exam, she would have to drop out and it would really be troublesome.
Filming was physically tiring while school was mentally taxing. She couldn’t allow the instructor to get
away with twisting the facts about her leave application. Hence, she wasn’t going to accept the status
quo. Worse comes to worst, she would go and see the principal.
Whether she would end up repeating the classes would depend on more than just her words. Hence,
Skylar wanted to find someone to complain about it.
