Reborn to Rise

Instead of speaking, Leonardo stared at Davina with gentleness . The light in his eyes lit up.

Davina ran toward Leonardo with an apologetic expression.

"I! I'm sorry, Leo! I'm late!"

"It doesn't matter."

Only Leonardo knew how fast his heart was beating.

"Oh, I've prepared a gift for you." Davina hurriedly took out a sachet from her bag. "You can't sleep well, right? I made a sachet to improve your sleep."

Davina had used the sachet before, so its color was a little old.

The sachet was embroidered with the word 'Davina.'

As Leonardo took over the sachet, he smelled a scent of gardenia.

Davina liked gardenia, and so did he.

He loved everything she liked.

Leonardo held the sachet tightly. His eyes were full of tenderness.

"It's almost time. Leo, hurry and board the plane!" Davina urged them.

Leonardo nodded, gazing at her with reluctance before leaving.

"Leo!" Davina rushed over and hugged him from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder.

Leonardo stiffened.

"Return as fast as you can," Davina said in a low voice.

"You promised to marry me.

You can't break it."

Leonardo responded in a trembling voice, "Okay."

Davina smiled and kissed his face. "Then I'll wait for you to come back."

After that, she got up and waved to him. She tried to suppress her shyness and said,

"Alright then. Go."

Leonardo covered his face in a daze.

Jose and Hunter forced him to leave.

Although they were also shocked by Davina's change, they dared not to ask any more questions!

After that, Davina let out a sigh of relief and went back home.

The next day was the school day.

She was reborn in her third year in high school, about to meet the college entrance examination.

In the past, Emily had bewitched her, and she had no intention of studying at all. In the end, her father spent money to get her a degree. Her family had been the laughingstock of others.

In this life, she must avenge herself! She must gain honor for herself and her parents!

Davina took a deep breath, grabbed her school bag tightly, and walked into the school.

Students passing by were all amazed by her beauty.

"Emily is far inferior to her. It'd be better to change the campus bell as soon as possible!"

Someone secretly took Davina's photo and posted it on the campus forum.

'Breaking! There's a new beauty! The campus is going to change!'

As soon as the post was sent out, some people noticed that something was wrong.

'Wait, why does this beauty look like that ugly Davina?'

Davina browsed through the comments. She found it amusing.

If they knew that the genius was her, how would they act?

With a mocking smile, she walked straight into Class 20.

Class 20 was the worst in this school. Here were all children of rich families who came to the school just to have fun. 

When Davina walked in, the originally noisy classroom instantly went quiet.

Someone then exclaimed,

"Isn't this the newly transferred campus belle on the forum?"

"D*mn it! We're lucky! It's worthy to be the classmate of a beauty!"

Davina ignored them and walked straight to her seat.

As soon as she sat down, the boy in front of her said exaggeratedly, "Beauty! Don't sit here. This place is dirty!"

Davina raised her eyebrows, "Why?"

"This is Davina's seat. You've just arrived, so you probably don't know how disgusting is she! She even hit the discipline teacher last week!"

The boy's name was Maxwell Payne. He usually did not get along well with Davina.

Davina supported her chin with one hand. She curved her lips and casually asked, "Is that so?

Why am I dirty if I hit the teacher?"

Maxwell was stunned for a second before he realized what she was talking about.

He freaked out, staring at her in shock, "What? You're... you're Davina?"

"Uh-huh." Davina snorted with arrogance.

All of a sudden, people in the classroom were stunned.

Nobody ever believed that Davina could be such a knockout!

Davina brushed them off and pulled out her textbook, diving right into her studying.

She has had a good memory since she was a child. She could recall everything she saw and read with ease.

It was just that she had neglected her studies in her prelife. In this life, she wouldn't be as foolish as before!

The bell rang, and everyone snapped out of their daze.

Despite Davina's newfound beauty, people's biases against her still lingered. They began whispering about her.

Their English lecturer, Felicia Moore, walked in with her teaching materials and was met with a rowdy classroom.

Furious, she shouted, "What on earth are you all talking about? Do any of you want to study?!"

Class 20 was the lowest-performing class with the lowest grades in the entire school.

No teacher would like poor students.

Moreover, the students in this class were not disciplined.

Felicia patted the table hard and scolded, "Be quiet!

Where's Davina?" 

The classroom was quiet, and no one answered her.

Felicia looked toward Davina's seat. Instead of seeing Davina sitting there, she saw a delicate and elegant girl.

She asked with curiosity, "Are you the newcomer?"

Without waiting for Davina's response, the teacher barked out an order to her students, "You two, toss Davina's things into the trash.

She's been absent for seven days, and according to the rules, she's getting expelled."

Today was exactly the seventh day. Since Davina wasn't present, she took it as if Davina had been expelled.

Everyone immediately looked at Davina gloatingly, waiting for her response.

Davina sluggishly rose from her seat and gave Felicia a piercing stare. "Ms. Moore, I know that students who skip seven consecutive classes without a valid excuse are kicked out.

But today is just the seventh day, and the official documents haven't been released yet. Do you have the authority to trash a student's belongings?"

Felicia's face contorted into an angry scowl, "Who do you think you are? You're not in a position to lecture me!" 

Students with poor results were nothing but garbage.

They didn't even have the decency to show some respect for their teacher.

She must have done something so horrible to deserve a class like this!

Davina retorted coldly, "As an educator, it's not cool to disrespect students like that. Are you even worthy of being called a teacher?"

Upon listening to her questions, other students couldn't help applauding.

Felicia had always looked down on them and ridiculed them.

Davina's words had hit home for them!

Felicia was livid, "I threw away Davina's stuff. What's the big deal?"

"You're throwing away my things. Can't I be angry?"

Davina's clear and apathetic voice echoed in the classroom.

Felicia was so shocked. What did she say?

Was she Davina?

In just a few days, Davina transformed from a clueless punk into a stunning beauty.

Felicia regained her composure, with her eyes full of disgust.

She hated Davina a long time ago. Davina had embarrassed her in front of all the teachers and students in the university.

As such, she hated Davina for a long time and wanted to kick her out of the university when she had the chance.

Felicia sneered, "Psh, what's your deal? Don't forget, you have a disciplinary record with three offenses! If you don't pass the upcoming exam in two weeks, you're outta here!"

"Then what if I passed my exam?"

As soon as Davina finished speaking, an ear-piercing burst of laughter broke out in the classroom.

Everyone in the room knew Davina had a reputation for being clueless and unmotivated. How could she pass all of her exams in just two weeks?

She must be dreaming!

Felicia cackled cruelly, "If you can ace that exam, I'll apologize to you in front of the entire school. But if you can't, pack your bags and leave!"
