Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn)

Six months ago, a girl at Silverwood High School was viciously slandered after she turned down a boy's confession.

The boy spread malicious rumors about her, and soon, she was the target of everyone's gossip and judgment. In the end, she was driven to suicide The incident was fresh in everyone's minds, yet many had already chosen to forget it. Lyla glared at Leah. "And how is that any of your business? You're always poking your nose into everything"

Leah was taken aback by Lyla's hostility and quickly put on a pitiful expression. "I didn't mean anything by it. Why are you so mean to me?"

Her indignant tone made me laugh. "Because you're spreading baseless rumors," I said as I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Do you realize that making up lies about someone is grounds for a defamation lawsuit

Leah's hands clenched at her sides as she stared at me. I didn't pay her any more attention and led Lyla back to our seats.

Erhan was sitting on a desk just a couple of rows away from mine with his hands in his pockets and one leg stretched out onto the desk next to him.

I stopped in front of him, intending to ask him to move. But when I looked up, I accidentally met his gaze. For a brief moment, I thought I saw restraint and complexity in his eyes

He quickly moved his leg, and Lyla and 1 took our seats.

Not long after, our homeroom teacher entered the classroom with a big smile on her face. She announced as she stood at the podium, "Class, I have some good news! The two students who got the first and second-highest scores in Yardville for the science stream are from our class!"

The coom erupted in chatter.

"No way! Are our classmates that amazing?"

"Who is it?"

"Come on, tellus, tell us! We want to know who the top scorers are!"

The teacher grinned and said, "Well, the first place obviously goes to our very own Ethan. As for second place.

She paused for dramatic effect. The class started urging her on again, and she finally said, "Second place goes to Evelyn!Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Evelyn scored 7135 points, just 15 points behind Ethan."

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, heard gasps and whispers fill the room

Bring close by, I overheard someone say, "How is that even possible?-

"Evelyn has always been at the bottom of the class. How could she suddenly jump to second place in Salverwood High School?"

"Did you forget that her grades have been improving rapidly for the past two months?"

"I didn't forget, but there's still a huge difference between being in the top 20 in the class and second best in silverwood High School!"

ituned out their chatter, but Lyla was behind me, hugging me excitedly and shouting, "Eve, congratulations! You're amazing, so amazing! Ah!"

I laughed and raised a hand to cover her mouth. "Thanks, but keep it down. The teacher's going to scold you in a minute."

Realizing where she was, Lyla quickly clamped her hand over her mouth, still smiling happily.

"Come on, everyone, give them a round of applause," our teacher reminded us and started to clap herself.

Soon, the entire classroom was filled with applause.

As I sat there, I glanced down at the small note I had taped to the top right corner of my desk on the day I was reborn. It read, "Be the best version of yourself". My eyes began to sting with tears. Evelyn, may this second chance at lide allow you to become the best version of yourself. Never again should you forsake yourself for the sake of loving someone else.

This world was beautiful and full of wonders-vast and forgiving hope that when you look back one day, your life won't be filled with endless regrets and sorrow, but rather a picture worth cherishing
