When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 254

A few boys made a beeline for Lemira.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, the teacher walked in, "Class is starting, everyone back to your seats."

Susanna was visibly irked but didn’t dare cause a scene in front of the teacher, fearing the repercussions would reach her home and she'd get an earful.

Instead, Susanna opted to sit right behind Lemira, threatened in a subdued voice, "Just wait till class is over, you're done for."

Evelina, seated next to Susanna, stared at Lemira's back, her eyes brimming with spite.

Finally, a chance to humiliate Lemira. She’d like to see how she wiggled her way out of this one!

As the teacher began the lecture, the rest of the students dutifully flipped open their textbooks. Lemira, however, pulled out her phone, intent on coding a little app to get back at her detractors online. She wasn’t someone who could be easily targeted without consequence.

Susanna, with her eagle eyes, caught Lemira in the act and promptly told the teacher, "Lemira didn’t even bring her textbook, and she’s playing on her phone!"

Lemira stashed her phone away.

Seeing Lemira's desk devoid of the required textbook, the teacher was displeased, "Do you have an issue with my class?"

"No, I just forgot it this time, sorry," Lemira apologized directly without a fight.

Evelina saw an opportunity and chimed in, "Lemira, you’ve always acted as if the rules don’t apply to you because you're smart, but bringing your textbook is a basic form of respect for the teacher."

Susanna sneered, "Attending class without your textbook, you’re so confident in yourself, huh? If we all followed your example, it’d ruin the positive culture we have here at school!"
