Chapter 1The Ivy League Prank Gone Wrong

Thirty minutes before the college application deadline, the class valedictorian, Tiffany, led the whole class in changing their top choices from Ivy League schools to random community colleges.

Tiffany covered her mouth, giggling with delight:

"It's more fun when we all play a prank together! We'll change it back at the last minute and scare the crap out of those uptight teachers!"

I kindly reminded them that a storm was coming in half an hour, which could knock out the internet.

My boyfriend mocked me:

"You're just jealous that Tiffany is so popular and everyone listens to her. Stop pretending!"

In my past life, I screamed myself hoarse for twenty minutes, trying to persuade them. Finally, everyone except Tiffany wavered and changed their choices back.

But Tiffany, due to network lag, was forced to go to a community college.

Later, while everyone else went to prestigious universities, Tiffany couldn't handle the blow and jumped from the twentieth floor of her college dorm.

My frenzied classmates tied me to a helicopter and hanged me:

"Bitch, if you hadn't interfered, we would have gone to community college with Tiffany, and she wouldn't have killed herself!"

"Compared to Tiffany's life, what does my future matter! A bitch like you who only cares about success wouldn't understand!"

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day they changed their applications.

This time, I watched coldly as they dug their own graves.

Let's see if they still have the same attitude when they're stuck going to community colleges!

The mocking voices of my classmates seemed to come from far away:

"Buzzkill! Such a nerd, no sense of humor at all!"

"You're the only one not joining in! Too good for a prank? No wonder no one wants to hang out with you!"

"..."

I froze, looking at the surroundings in a daze.

This was an internet cafe! Not 30,000 feet in the air! I was reborn!

My boyfriend, Lucas, saw my dazed expression and looked even more disgusted:

"Asking you one last time, are you willing to join Tiffany in this prank and change your application to a community college?"

Staring at the boyfriend in front of me, I clenched my fists.

In my past life, after Tiffany jumped, he tricked me into going to the suburbs under the guise of proposing, gouged out my eyes, and hanged me from a helicopter with our classmates!

I sneered and shook my head:

"No!"

Lucas was so angry he said "Fine" three times, then wrapped his arm around Tiffany's waist:

"It's okay, Tiffany, we'll change it with you! This dead woman read herself stupid!"

Everyone was exceptionally united at this moment:

"Yeah, Tiffany, we'll change with you! Why waste your breath on a nerd!"

"Come on, everyone change! If you don't change, you're not part of the crew!"

In less than five minutes, all of their applications were changed to community colleges.

This time, without my interference, they changed it smoothly.

To cause a sensation, all forty-nine of them posted a screenshot on their Instagram stories to flood the feed.

With the same caption and screenshot:

"Ditching the Ivies for community college. Heh, just for fun!"

People from other classes were shocked and commented below:

"No way, bro! So rebellious, so cool!"

"Holy crap! That's hardcore! Respect!"

"As expected of the honors class, next level! Fighting the system to the end!"

The classmates enjoyed the praise, heads held high like proud roosters.

Outside, the storm was getting louder. Less than fifteen minutes until the power and internet went out!
