She Picked The Wrong Ones To Bully

Synopsis

Before the scholarships were announced, Victoria Sterling, counting on her dad's position on the school board, shamelessly snatched the top three spots in our comprehensive evaluations for herself and her two cronies. "So what if your grades are good? Connections are what truly matter. Showing you the harsh truth is only helping you grow," Victoria sneered. The student advisor even called us in for a talk, hinting that we were no match for the people with real power. After Victoria strutted out, Olivia Bennett, the top student, shot a message to William Grant, who'd been begging her to be his last student. William immediately cancelled the exchange student spots he'd promised the school. Emily Carter, the research prodigy, only made one call, and the company that had been funding the school's scholarships for years cut ties immediately. As for me, I scrolled through my contacts and called my mom. "Mom, let's put off donating that lab building to the school for now." What a joke. If she wanted to throw her weight around, at least make sure she actually had the weight to throw.
