Reborn at the Reunion I Exposed the Class That Framed MeChapter 1

Ten-year class reunion. Glasses clinking in the private room, the air thick with cheap nostalgia.

Nelson Whitney stood up without warning and slammed his palm on the table.

"Let me tell you all a secret. Our class? Every last one of us—scum. Cancer on society."

"That assault near campus back in the day? That was us."

"Russ Pruitt was the ringleader. I was the brains."

The whole room burst out laughing, sure he was just running his mouth.

Nelson stuck out his tongue. "Kidding. Just livening things up."

But a second later, he pulled out his phone. "Thing is, I've got proof. Here's the video from the attack. Here are the group chat logs. And here—a photo of our class beauty Laurel Fox, knife in hand, in the middle of it."

On the screen, a photo of me holding a knife. Clear as day.

He'd said my name. The class beauty. I looked around at the old classmates—the same ones who'd shoved me off the rooftop of that karaoke lounge in my last life—and slowly set down the glass I'd raised.

Last life, I tried to explain. They pushed me off anyway. This time, I said nothing.
