But they all froze in place.
The internet cafe was pitch black.
The power was out.
There were only ten minutes left until the application deadline.
Seeing the power outage, everyone panicked:
"Holy crap! Why is the power out! It never went out in the rain before!"
"Think of something quick! I don't want to go to a damn community college!"
"That's too embarrassing! My future is ruined!"
"Tiffany, think of something, what do we do!"
Lucas calmly pulled out his phone:
"Don't worry everyone, we can change it on our phones!"
I was busy comforting the boy from the other class. Hearing Lucas, I smirked slightly.
Too naive.
Sure enough, the next second, wails erupted again:
"Crap! It's over, no signal on my phone!"
"Mine too! What do I do! I suffered for three years in high school just to get into a good college..."
Tiffany pouted, squeezing out two tears:
"I'm sorry everyone, I didn't know this would happen..."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have played a prank at this critical moment. Blame me, don't blame Zoe... she definitely didn't mean not to stop you..."
Her words successfully drew all the fire to me:
"Zoe! You're too much. You check the weather forecast all the time, why didn't you stop us!"
"Are you trying to get revenge on us? Didn't know you were so vicious!"
"You did it on purpose! Just because your boyfriend likes Tiffany, you wanted revenge, right!"
I laughed in anger.
In my past life, I begged and pleaded, but no matter how hard I tried, they wouldn't listen.
I called teachers, parents, even the principal, going crazy with anxiety. They snatched my phone and beat me half to death.
Finally, I had to threaten to call the police before they reluctantly changed their applications.
Since they didn't want to change, then in this life, don't change.
Tiffany suddenly exclaimed with joy:
"I know where the signal is good! My cousin told me before, follow me!"
Instantly, everyone was excited:
"Tiffany! You're reliable! Unlike someone, full of bad intentions!"
My mouth curled up uncontrollably as I followed Tiffany to the place with "good signal."
Watching everyone's cheerful expressions, I couldn't help but sneer.
Did they really think Tiffany would allow them to change their applications back?
Sure enough, someone finally realized something was wrong on the way:
"Tiffany, why is the signal getting worse the further we go?"
"Just now images wouldn't load, now I can't even get on the internet!"
Even Lucas panicked a bit, his voice trembling:
"Tiffany... is your cousin reliable?"
I looked at my watch.
Only one minute left until the deadline.
No matter what, it was too late to change the application.
Finally, the deadline passed. In that last minute, everyone refreshed the page frantically, but there was no signal.
Everyone screamed in despair:
"F*ck! It's over! I could have gone to an Ivy!"
"Dammit! F*ck! How do I explain this to my mom!"
"It was a done deal! Why did we have to be extra!"
Tiffany's tears fell plop plop:
"Sorry... sorry everyone, it's all my fault..."
