Eliza stared at the damaged keyboard on her desk; her eyes darkened. “I’m sorry, Henry; I’ll pay you back for the keyboard.”
“Eliza, this isn’t about money; even if someone has to pay, it shouldn’t be you!”
Before Henry could finish, Eliza had already walked out of the classroom.
She had thought that at her age, it wasn’t worth it to fight with Naomi over high school nonsense.
But now it seemed some people needed a lesson. If I don’t fight back, do they really think I have no anger?
It was almost time for dismissal.
Naomi was chatting and laughing with a few girls; after saying goodbye to them, once the others had left, her cheerful expression disappeared into one of impatience. Every day pretending to like these fake friends; I’m so sick of it.
Just as Naomi was about to leave the school building, a hand–suddenly yanked her into an empty classroom on the first floor.
The sudden attack scared Naomi badly.
“Help!”
Before she could finish shouting, Eliza had already stuffed a rag into Naomi’s mouth and tied her hands with a jump rope.
It was dismissal time; the other students were in a hurry to get home, so no one noticed what was happening here.
Eliza drew all the curtains shut. Naomi had no idea what Eliza wanted to do; terrified, her face turned completely pale.
“You used this craft knife to slash the keyboard Henry gave me, didn’t you?”
Eliza’s voice rose; her tone was laced with coldness.
‘aomi shook her head frantically.
Eliza said, “You know I don’t have much money. I can’t afford to replace Henry’s keyboard. You ruined it; don’t you think you should take responsibility?”
Seeing the craft knife in Eliza’s hand inch closer, Naomi quickly nodded in fear.
“I don’t believe just your word; you are going to sign this.”
Eliza placed a written promise of repayment in front of Naomi.
Naomi didn’t dare refuse; trembling, she signed it.
Even after Naomi had signed, Eliza had no intention of letting her off so easily.
Eliza pulled the rag from Naomi’s mouth. “Don’t even think about telling the teachers or your parents; I already got the school surveillance footage. Our classroom doesn’t have cameras, but the hallway ones

clearly show you stealing my keyboard. If you don’t want to be known as a troublemaker to your teachers and parents, I suggest you do exactly as I say,”
Naomi hadn’t expected Eliza to pull the footage; her face instantly turned ugly.
Eliza said, “The keyboard costs 400 dollars; are you paying now, or should I come find you for it tomorrow?”
“I’ll pay now…“.
Naomi couldn’t let Eliza come after her in front of her class. Eliza looked like a lunatic now. Who knew what terrifying thing she might do? If this blew up in front of my class, how would everyone see me?
Eliza held out her hand; she had no intention of going easy.
Naomi could only pull out three hundred dollars from her wallet. She bit her lip and said, “The rest… I’ll transfer it to you on my phone.”
“Now.”
Eliza felt around in Naomi’s uniform pocket and pulled out her phone.
Under Eliza’s watchful gaze, Naomi bit her lip and transferred two thousand seven hundred dollars.
“I’ll be keeping the surveillance footage and the IOU; if you dare tell your parents, be prepared to see those videos on every major website.”
Eliza wasn’t bluffing. She casually untied the jump rope from Naomi’s wrists and turned to leave the classroom.
Freed from the bindings, Naomi collapsed to the floor, terrified. When did timid, cowardly Eliza become so bold?
The memory of what Eliza had just done still haunted Naomi. Unwilling to accept it, she pulled out her phone and called Zayden.
By the time Zayden picked up, Naomi was already sobbing uncontrollably.
That evening, Eliza went alone to the piano room; but before she could go inside, someone grabbed her and pulled her around the corner outside.
was late; the building was deserted and silent.
Seeing who it was, Eliza frowned. “Zayden, what do you want?”
“Why did you do that to Naomi?”
Zayden frowned; he knew Naomi had returned the keyboard, so there was no reason for Eliza to take things
this far.
“What did I do to her?”
“You extorted her!”
Zayden had never thought Eliza would do something like this; it was threatening a classmate’s safety, already a violation of school rules. If Naomi reported this, the police would get involved; Eliza would be
arrested.
