Chapter 5: She Wanted To Change Seats
Eliza stood up from her seat and began organizing the books in her drawer.
Seeing this, Zayden furrowed his brow and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Changing seats, Eliza replied,
“What did you say?” Zayden thought he had misheard and asked again.

Back then, when Eliza asked her classmates to switch seats to sit in front of him, she could even go out of her way, writing her classmates homework for a month. But now, was Eliza actually moving away?
Seeing that Eliza wasn’t going to explain herself, Zayden stood up and pressed her books down onto the desk, asking, “What exactly do you want?”
It seemed like Eliza was constantly trying to get his seats, matched him with Naomi, and now, she’s moving her seat again.
Eliza shook off his hand and said. “Zayden, I hope you can understand human speech. You’re good at studying, but your Jconstant chatting with Naomi during class distracts me. If I sit in front, you won’t find me bothersome, and it makes things
easier for me as well!
Having been reborn, she had long forgotten what she learned in high school. Fortunately, it wasn’t yet the senior year. She could still refresh her knowledge if she worked hard studying. With the upcoming monthly exam, she couldn’t afford to slack
off.
Sitting in front of Zayden would only interfere with her studies.
Zayden stared at Eliza for a while, unable to recognize even the slightest trace of the old her. In the past, Eliza wouldn’t have dared speak to him like this, let alone glance at him with such a look. But now, she was serious. She walked to the front of the class, swapped seats with a girl, and even helped move her belongings thoughtfully to the back.
She knew that all the girls in the class wanted to sit closer to Zayden. It was a rare opportunity to sit close to him. Now that she was offering it for free, no one would turn down such a favorable offer.
Zayden watched as Eliza ignored him, and rage surged within him for some reason. He thought, What was this? Was the playing hard to get?
Time passed in the classroom. Eliza quietly sat at her new seat, reviewing the knowledge she had learned in high school. Her notes were thorough, so she quickly got back on track with the knowledge from her previous life.
Sitting at the back of the classroom, Zayden observed her studying seriously. Eliza still didn’t attempt to talk to him for an entire hour.
It was then that Zayden realized that Eliza wasn’t just messing around because it was almost time for the first period of class, and other students would soon arrive at the classroom one after another.
If she didn’t move back to her old seat soon, then it meant that she had really changed seats,
For a moment, Zayden felt uneasy.
Other students started entering the classroom one after another.
When they saw Eliza and Zayden both in the classroom, everyone exchanged knowing glances.
Without hiding their disdain for Eliza, some of Naomi’s close friends sneered.
“Some people really have no shame, chasing after Zayden like this”
Exactly! Coming to school this early just to be near him.”
“Doesn’t she feel shameless, trailing behind him all the time? My mom says girls like that don’t respect themselves.”
After all, she had always been the quiet one in class, speaking to no one except following Zayden around.
Such kinds of people were always boycotted in school

On the other hand, Naomi was popular, positive, and cheerful. Regardless of boys and girls, teachers or students, they all like Naomi without exception.
“Oh my god, Eliza, why are you sitting in my seat?” A cute–looking classmate exclaimed, her eyes lighting up
Eliza recognized her as Scarlett, a girl from a well–off family who competed with Naomi openly and subtly. She was Naomi’s fake friend
It was obvious that Scarlet liked Zayden, so she had chosen to swap seats with her.
After all, Zayden’s desk partner was Naomi, so having Scarlet sit in front of Zayden would annoy Naomi a bit.
Eliza said, “I think I’m a bit nearsighted, so I want to sit in front. If you don’t want to switch…”
Scarlett replied, “Of course I don’t mind! I’m always happy to help. If you can’t see the board, just sit here; no need to be politel
Scarlett was the kind of girl who would feign to be shy but was very pleased deep down. She looked at Zayden, who was sitting behind, with a shy look; her eyes filled with cagerness.
She had always wanted to sit in front of Zayden, but due to Naomi, she had never dared ask. Now that Eliza had offered, she couldn’t be happier.
The rest of the class looked puzzled.
Everyone knew that Eliza had always liked Zayden.
Why was she suddenly switching seats?
Zayden listened to Eliza’s nonsense and couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
He had known her since childhood–how could he not know that she had excellent eyesight, yet she now claimed she couldn’t see the board?
Who would believe such a ridiculous excuse?
“Zayden Scarlett shyly attempted to strike up a conversation with him, but she noticed he wore a cold expression. Zayden repled coldly. I don’t like being disturbed, so please don’t turn around during class.
With that, her smile stiffened
It was clear that Zayden only ever smiled at Naomi.
Just as morning class was about to start, all the students had arrived, except for Naomi.
It was then that Naomi rushed in from outside the classroom, her hair slightly disheveled from being in a hurry.
Zayden asked, “Why are you so late today?”
“Naomi faltered. She was about to question Eliza but then noticed that her seat was now occupied by Scarlett.
Eliza was sitting in the front row.
Naomi’s face darkened.
Every morning, it was Eliza who woke her up and made breakfast for the family. But today, she had no idea why Eliza lett without saying anything!
This caused her to oversleep and almost be late.
“What’s wrong?” Zayden asked, frowning with concern.
“Nothing, I just woke up late, Naomi quickly covered up her emotions.
She had always been a self–disciplined girl in front of Zayden

She would never want Zayden to know that she needed Eliza to wake her up every morning.
Sitting in the front row, Eliza wasn’t afraid of Naomi complaining to Zayden. After all, she no longer cared about these two.
Besides, Eliza knew very well that even if Zayden had asked. Naomi would never admit it.
After all, everyone knew that waking up early was just a matter of setting an alarm, but Naomi insisted on having Eliza wake her up every morning like a maid. This was because she enjoyed treating her as a slave.
If others found out about this, Naomi’s disguise would crack, and Zayden’s image of her as the perfect first love would no longer exist.
