After I got accenter in Cramer Cak University, the school awarded me a for–thousand–molar scholarsh 

Our campus queen. My Green Sigresen tause the money to test the wide cass to a

In my previous life, gentexamed that couldn’t spend the money as my mom was serious il and the funds were meant for ter surgery 

But wy diam take the reexion well Lose STE went on a soon and enter up geting

son, ste posed a message on te soca meria 

with everyone before we went our separate ways. Why does 

Nada awa’s Tave to go agans me? 

At the time, my boyfriend Sentex Bares dontbame me at all when he found out ste tan died. In fact, he even vollumered to go with me to fie rcsptal to vist my nom 

But the day before the semester began, everything changed. He looked me up in a dark.

“You think I didn’t find our? Your mom’s surgery didn’t cost forty grand at all! You just wanted to ruim by’s plans! I heard that offering a virgin to the snake spirit can bring someore back to life. This is what you owe y 

Soon, I was bitten, and the xenom spread through my body. As the snake colled tighter around me, I felt my bream slip away. My whole body turned cold, and my mind went blank 

And when I opened my eyes again, by was chatting in our class group chet, just like 

before 

We finally made it through these three tough years. You’ve all worked so hard. How about we take an overseas trip this summer? My treat] 

She even mentioned alll of us, her classmates. 

The class instantly exploded with excitement. 

[A whole–class trip? That’s gotta be thousands at least 

[Come on, with airfare and hotels, it’d easily be tens of thousands! 

Wait are you serious? You’re not joking, right?) 

Before Ivy could reply, Bentley, our class president and my boyfriend, chimed in. 

[Ivy is from the Green family. That kind of money is nothing to her.] 

[But even if she’s loaded, she shouldn’t be the only one paying. Didn’t someone just get a forty grand scholarship?]

Then he mentioned me in the group. 

[Nadia, hand over that scholarship. Don’t play dead. I know you’re reading this.] 

35% 

Quickly after sending that chat, my phone rang with his call. I heard the haunting sound of the ringtone and realized something terrifying. 

I had really come back. I was reborn. 

In my past life, this exact moment happened the same way. Ivy made the same proposal in the group chat, and Bentley pressured me to chip in my scholarship. 

I had explained, once again, that my mother was seriously ill and the money was needed for her surgery. 

But everyone was disappointed. One by one, they backed out of the trip. 

Ivy was embarrassed and humiliated. In a fit of anger, she went on the trip alone and got bitten by a poisonous snake in the jungle. 

The local hospital didn’t have the antivenom, and she lost consciousness quickly. 

Before that, she made another emotional post. 

[It’s all my fault. If Nadia hadn’t turned on me, we would’ve had a perfect trip.] 

[It’s such a shame I can’t say goodbye to everyone in person.] 

When Bentley saw that post, he didn’t blame me. He even offered to visit my mom with me. 

But the day before school started, he snapped. Eyes bloodshot, he tied me up and dragged me to that snake–infested pit. 

“If 

you weren’t so selfish and stingy, Ivy wouldn’t be dead! I asked around. Your mom’s surgery didn’t cost forty grand! You killed Ivy and still think you can stroll into Charter Oak like a hero? Dream on!” 

I tried to explain that the hospital had given us a discount because I was the top scorer on the college entrance exam. That was why it ended up costing less. 

But before I could say a word, Bentley ordered someone to push me into the snake cage. 

Inside, a thick, brightly–colored python slithered toward me.
