Chapter 6 Emily pulled two beaded bracelets from her backpack . The colorful beads shimmered beautifully under the sunlight . Mandy and Irena happily put the bracelets on their wrists . Mandy asked , " How much were these ? They're gorgeous ." Irena replied , " They must be expensive . I remember this Swarovski limited edition collection ." " Not that much , just 15 thousand dollars per set ," Emily answered . " 15 thousand dollars ? That's so pricey ! " Mandy and Irena gasped in shock . " It's alright , " Emily said generously . " You're my best friends after all . Only the best for you . " Mandy and Irena alternated between delight and disbelief , caressing their bracelets . But their expressions froze the next instant . Emily's inner monologue suddenly flooded their hearing . She snorted inwardly , " What a bunch of clueless idiots , gushing over two - dollar bracelets like they're limited editions . " Perfect that they're this naive , though . How else could I manipulate them ? 5 vouchers " Two dollars gets me one homework slave and one attack dog . Best sidekick investment ever . Maybe I'll gift more fake jewelry later , though their terrible fashion sense of makeup makes me want to gouge my eyes out . " Oh well , let them be frumpy . Their ugliness only makes me shine brighter . " Mandy and Irena froze in place . If the class bell hadn't rung , I was sure they would've turned to stone from hearing Emily's inner monologue . During lessons , teachers taught and students studied . Still stunned by the revelation of the bracelet worth only 2 dollars , neither Mandy nor Irena harassed me today , letting me study . Even so , I still couldn't focus . Emily ignored the lecture , fantasizing nonstop , and her mental chatter kept distracting me . Emily read romance novels in class . She kept complaining internally about the slow - burn relationship . " These stories stretch longer than Monday mornings . Just kiss already ! " This trashy romance moves slower than a turtle marathon . Skip the drama . I want explicit scenes ! " Boring than porn ! I should've brought that adult novel with a harem . Maybe I can rent one during break ." Her unfiltered thoughts bombarded everyone's minds mercilessly . More than forty classmates frowned at her . Even our homeroom teacher , Carter Greco , who had originally tried to preserve Emily's dignity , couldn't resist calling on her to answer a question to make her mind settle down . At that moment , nobody had realized they were hearing Emily's inner monologue yet . Upon seeing Emily's innocent , pitiful face , Carter relented . Just as Carter was about to let her off , Emily's inner voice rang out again . She said inwardly , " Mr. Greco is such a moron . He teaches like garbage but still struts around in his suit thinking he's hot stuff . Has he looked in a mirror lately ? He's going bald ! 1/2 P P. Chapter 6 0 5 vouchers " Dry skin , furrowed forehead , potbelly - classic kidney deficiency . Last week , I saw him duck into that alley , and he came out ten minutes later . What kind of man lasts that short ? Pathetic . " How does this married old creep have the nerve to lust after the young language teacher ? Everyone knows she's that tycoon's mistress . If her sugar daddy finds out he's been sneaking photos of her , Greco's gonna be roadkill . " The entire class was stunned . They glanced at Carter , who was fuming with anger . Then they looked at Emily , whose mouth wasn't moving yet producing deafening sounds . I calmly observed everything , And I had already seen deep confusion in my classmates ' wide eyes . That class ended prematurely . Carter was both furious and humiliated . Yet he had no way to explain or resolve the situation . After all , Emily's lips never actually moved to speak . There was no way he would protest too much without evidence . I watched Carter leave as he scratched his head in frustration . The teachers scheduled for the following classes left one after another , their faces filled with shock , confusion , and dismay . Eventually , no teachers came to class . Under our class president , Ethan Mosley's arrangement , the entire class simply began self - study . 2/2
