Beg Me For My Scholarship? Watch Me Ruin You Instead

Synopsis

After I won the top scholarship in my class, my roommate, Mia Sinclair, begged me in front of everyone. She clasped her hands together and said, "I've been so broke that I haven't eaten in the dining hall for days. Could you give me the scholarship instead?" A second later, glowing comments flickered across my vision. [Mia is so smart. She's guilt-tripping Lily Summers in public. If Lily says no, she'll get dragged online until she drops out, or worse, some psycho will throw acid in her face.] [Mia's been eyeing that new designer bag for a while now. The scholarship is just enough to cover it, and then she can dress up and go on a date with the campus heartthrob.] I smiled. "I grew up with nothing," I said. "I work part-time jobs after class every single day, and I have never once used my poverty to guilt someone into giving me a handout." I tilted my head and met her eyes. "But since you went ahead and put me on the spot like this, how could I possibly say no?"
