In City A high school 

Kim Lalisa looked around the crowded hall as several students filled out their entrance examination forms.

"Lisa, when we get selected for the district university, my uncle would help us select the best majors that fit what we want to study." Qin Yerim said with a sly light flashing through her eyes even though her words sounded completely considerate and kind.

Although the beside her nodded her head, she didn't notice the clenched fists and chilly look that flashed through her eyes at the moment.

To think that she returned to this moment.

A time before she makes the biggest mistake of her life.

Kim Lalisa looked around the hall again as if trying to confirm that everything was true. It was really happening.

" Kim Lalisa, would you be going to the capital university?" Xi Jaehyun asked curiously as he tried to see what was written on her University application form.

As the top student in her school everyone was curious about what school she would pick and yet, there were also some rumors about her picking a small time school.

"You will know once the admission letters are sent." She said mysteriously while Qin Yerim who was beside her smiled gently.

Without Lalisa as a comparison, Yerim was a very attractive lady she had the kind of looks that would make men rush up to protect her with only a blink of her eyes. However, instead of pure looking eyes, anyone that took a look at her would see that she was scheming.

Most importantly, Kim Lalisa was the kind of beauty that couldn't be seen in a hundred thousand of women, and one look at that delicate face would usually leave one stunned and captivated.

While standing there and looking around, Lalisa was sorting her memories of this particular time and thus, was not surprised when Teacher Lu entered the hall and started looking around.

"Lisa, come with me." He called out the moment his eyes met hers and Yerim who was beside her revealed a look of panic.

"Don't let Teacher Lu talk out our decision, they don't know your family condition like I do." She said with too much concern and panic.

Lalisa nodded and removed her grip gently. These were the same things she had fallen for back then, thinking that since her best friend came from a better family, she was more inclined to know the better decisions and so even when she had gotten a scholarship offer from the capital university, a piece of news had been circulated online that claimed she despised their education.

Although it wasn't something important at first, but Yerim, who was already a small time influencer had escalated it more till the capital university withdrew their offer.

As for her, she didn't even mind, Yerim had completely convinced her and her mother that those school buried their talents if they didn't have the background to back them up.

"Teacher Lu, is anything the matter?" She asked gently as she just met him at the entrance of the hall and the man who didn't look like he was beyond his thirties looked at her with a complicated gaze and then nodded his head negatively.

"The principal wants to see you." He said after a while and led the way. As for Lalisa who had already lived through this scene and knew what they wanted to talk about,  she walked along quietly.

The administrative block was quite close to the big hall they had gathered the senior students since most times it was only they made them gather there for.

It being close to the administrative block would only make it easier for the not so young staff that they worked with.

The principal's office was at the end of the hallway with the front being occupied by a secretary that was already in her mid forties. She smiled as soon as she saw Lalisa and teacher Lu.

"The principal asked that I bring student Kim Lalisa here..." Since he was the one in charge of her class it was relatively normal for him to deliver such a message.

"You can leave her and go, the principal is already waiting for her." The secretary said and stood up as a buzzer rang on her table.

Teacher Lu nodded and then glanced at Lalisa before walking away. If it was in her past life then she would have gone ahead and asked him what was wrong with him.

The secretary opened the door for her to enter, an office that she had visited many times in her past life because of her outstanding results.

"You are here." the man seated in the office said with a calm elderly smile as soon as she closed the door. Although her family wasn't able to contribute anything to the financial welfare of the school, Lalisa always took several competitions, right from the onset which usually made their school name have more respect and visibility in the city.

This had made the principal take a liking to her and thus the moment he heard about her rumors about her settling for a small time college here in their city which would limit all her options and opportunities in the future.

"I heard ... What university have you decided on?" He asked rephrasing his words at the last minute so he would not appear gossipy.

Lalisa smiled gently and then passed him her form without a word.

The principal looked through it hastily and frowned the moment he saw 'District A university'.

"Lisa for a student like you, aiming for the capital university isn't a dream and you shouldn't limit yourself in to small time universities like these. Although they have their strength, but, they won't be able to your full potential shine in the future."

Lalisa deliberately expressed a confused expression, "although the capital schools are good, I have heard that they tend to bury talents with no financial background, and since I still have to rely on student loans to pay for my university education, I have to pick schools like these."

With her words, It sounded like this wasn't what she wanted but was making herself settle because she didn't dare to dream big.

Principal Wang's face darkened at her words.

"Where did you hear such baseless rumors? With your grades, you can even get a scholarship over there. On the other hand, these schools that you pick are the ones to promote wealthy kids because they still need funding."

Seeing her helpless and ignorant expression, he felt like he had to guide her properly before she would make a decision that would ruin her life.

"Since you don't know all these, go back to the classroom. I'll pick a good school that would be sure to be suitable for the majors that you want." He said thinking of getting another admission form for her.

Lalisa agreed and handed him all the admission papers she had.

"What majors do you want to focus on?" He asked as he saw that area was left blank.

"I'll be picking them much later."She replied.

It wasn't only her, many senior students, usually had to fill their heads with many subjects and most of them thought about graduating from school with good grades.

As for the majors they wanted, they usually preferred to have those picked out when they finally got university admission.

So for this reason, it was not something which should be picked at the moment.

As for Lalisa, she didn't think that going for only one major would be good, besides, in her past life she had taken two majors up until the completion. So, she wanted to take her time to decide.

After talking a little more with the principal, he allowed her to go back to her classroom, his original worries were already removed and so he could talk with her even more naturally.

Lalisa left his office and walked in the direction of her classroom looking through her past life memories gently.

Most of them were unhappy and bitter she could still hear her final cries of despair as each part of her body was being pulled by those scientists.

"Qin Yerim, Li Sehun, you two better watch out because, in this life, I'll be the one making the rules."
