Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty

Prince Bryce? Yolanda heard the murmurs of the crowd and arched her brow at the boy in front of her. She found the whole "Prince" thing a bit cringey. She searched through the memories of the original Yolanda and realized she'd seen him before. "Yolanda, do you remember me?" Yolanda noticed that the boy didn't seem bothered by her weight or appearance. In fact, when he saw the acne on her face, his eyes softened with a hint of sympathy and concern. "Are you Bryce Cooper?"

Yolanda recognized the boy before her from the original Yolanda's memories. He was Bryce Cooper, the second most popular guy at First Academy. The reason the original Yolanda knew him was they had attended the same junior high school, and he was one of her closest friends at the time.

Bryce was willing to befriend the original Yolanda because she had inadvertently saved his life. He had a sudden heart attack on his way home from school, and the original Yolanda, who happened to be passing by, called for an ambulance.

The original Yolanda considered it a minor act of kindness, but Bryce had never forgotten it. Hence, when he learned Yolanda had enrolled in First Academy, he immediately sought her out.

When he saw what Yolanda had become, he didn't turn away with disgust. Instead, his heart ached for her, imagining all the hardships she must've endured in the juvenile detention center to end up like this.

"You remembered me?" Bryce's eyes lit up when Yolanda got his name right.

"Yeah, I remember you," she said calmly. "We were classmates in junior high school."

He wasn't bothered by Yolanda's cold demeanor. Instead, he was delighted that she remembered him. "I heard you're attending First Academy as well! If you need anything, just come by Class B, and I'll help you out!"

"Why on earth is Prince Bryce talking

to that eyesore? Is he seriously going to be friends with her? I can't

accept that!" The girls around y

were green with envy as they

watched Bryce make an effort to talk to Yolanda.

Bryce wasn't domineering, but he never gave the time of day to his admirers. Once, he even yelled at a girl who wouldn't leave him alone, reducing her to tears.

Yolanda was overweight, unattractive, and had poor grades. She had only managed to get into First Academy through her connections. The girls couldn't understand why Bryce would be interested in her.

With these thoughts in mind, a few of the jealous girls began brainstorming ways to make Yolanda pay for daring to get close to Bryce, intending to show her the consequences of her actions.

Just then, two girls pushed through

the crowd and walked up to Yolanda. Dressed in black miniskirts with backpacks slung carelessly. over their shoulders, they looked like the kind of troublemakers who had little interest in studying. "You must be Yolanda. Someone's looking for you!"

Yolanda took a moment to size up the two girls and asked apathetically, "Who's looking for me?"

"You'll find out when you get there. Just follow us!" the two delinquent-looking high school girls said, looking down at Yolanda.

"Yolanda, it's probably best if you-" Bryce looked at the two girls' clothing and appearance and thought they didn't seem like the best company.

He was about to advise Yolanda against following them when she nodded. "Lead the way."

He couldn't do anything about it, and worried for Yolanda, he followed her out of the school. Soon, the girls led Yolanda to a small alley next to the school gate. There, a tall girl wearing е
