I Became My Unfortunate Female Lead

The strands of her ash brown hair gracefully swayed along the rhythm of her body movements as she trailed the pavements of the school. After blowing some tease on the male lead, she thought of something.

'Why would I ignore you if I can use you?'

Athasia reached the main building where there were students going in the same directions as if there was some kind of commotion. Then she recalled that today was the day when the overall result of the exam will be posted on the bulletin board.

Excited to see the result, she also went in the same direction. In the middle of the hallway, she bumped into Callie.

The girl, who had just arrived at school, smiled after seeing her friend. "Athasia! G-Good morning," she greeted her. She excitedly raised her hand, holding a paper bag. "My m-mom made l-lunchboxes for us."

Seeing the pink blush on her cheeks, Athasia gave her a pat. "Please tell Aunt Ellie my gratitude. Let's eat lunch together then," she smiled and put her gaze back on the crowding students.

The bulletin board wasn't that far from them. It was only a mere few steps. "Is it the result of the overall exam?" she suddenly asked.

Callie jerked her head towards the crowds too. "L-Let's look at the r-results too.."

However, as soon as they reached the bulletin board, the real deal hit them. There were no results of the overall exam and that's the reason why some of the students, who were waiting, were wondering.

"Why didn't they post the results?"

"Yeah, I want to know my ranking"

"Is there a problem?"

The speakers connected to the broadcast room squeaked. "Hello, students," that pleasant voice came from the student council president, Vincent. "We would like to apologize, but the results of the overall exam will be posted late,"

The students gathered in the hallways, looked at each other with surprise on their faces. Everyone got shocked.

"Students, please return to your respective classroom before the first period starts, thank you"

Athasia and Callie looked at each other too, with both questions on them. 'What happened?'

However, the young miss felt something in her instinct as to why the results were going to be posted late. She tapped Callie on the shoulder and said, "Go on first, I forgot to do something."

Her friend didn't ask her and walked away.

When Callie was already meters away from her, Athasia headed to the main building's second floor, where the main faculty office was.

The delayed results were already enough to give her suspicions. It was the same day as when their teacher, Mister Sung, told them that he will post their exam results. He never did, because she happened to catch something in the faculty room.

Athasia already thought of a lot of excuses to use when the teachers asked her why she went there. It made her thin pink lips curved up.

Fortunately, on her way to the stairs, she bumped into someone from the student council. It was the nerdy secretary who's always carrying thick documents. As soon as their bodies collided, the papers scattered around the area.

Athasia picked it up and asked her if she could help.

Getting a little help made the council secretary flattered that she quickly nodded her head. Because of the matter, all of the other members became very busy too, so she didn't hesitate to accept the offer.

The secretary was going to the student council office to have some photocopies of the papers and, just like Athasia wanted; the room was located near the guidance office.

They passed through the quiet hallways and it gave her the chance to peek at the main faculty office and, to her surprise; it was empty.

'Are the teachers in their first classes now?'

Athasia went inside the said room and laid the papers on the table. The secretary thanked her and said that she can use her name to make an excuse for her first class.

She was smiling until she closed the door. However, as soon as he passed by the door of the guidance office, she halted.

The door wasn't transparent, but half of it was. It was a glass door with a blurry lower half and transparent upper half.

Athasia was just tall enough to reach the transparent side.

The first thing she recognized was the student standing in front of the teachers. The look on that girl's face was somewhat amused and sorrowful.

There's no one who can make that expression but Amber. Her hand was extended as if she's showing something to the teachers.

The teachers' faces changed as soon as they saw what was on the phone. As if they couldn't believe what it was.

Amber wiped her eyes like she was crying. She clenched her chest and showed a trembling expression.

"What a nice act," Athasia almost snorted a laugh.

Going back to Amber, she suddenly stepped backwards, and another figure fell on his knees in front of that pitiful student.

Athasia widened her eyes after seeing Mister Sung, their homeroom teacher.

Mister Sung was bawling and crying. His actions were like asking for forgiveness. He was on his knees in front of Amber, begging.

Athasia couldn't see what was on the phone, but she's surely sure that it ruined the man's reputation. Amber is powerful, not only her, but her family. Her father was one of the biggest sponsors of the school.

Who would they believe? Of course, the powerful one.

Amber wiped her eyes and looked down at Mister Sung. A secret grin stretched across her face that only Athasia could notice.

Amber mumbled something that shocked Mister Sung. The pitiful man looked back at his co teachers as if he wanted someone to oppose the student. However, opposing Amber is like opposing half of the school directors.

Just like normal employees, they're also scared of losing their jobs. Besides, the evidence they're believing was almost in front of them. That's what they believed.

Mister Sung almost grabbed Amber's ankles. This time, he's pitiful that he's spouting something like his family for sure. The man pleaded hard, but Amber didn't budge.

Her brows knitted between sorrow and anger. She stepped back until she reached the corners of a desk behind her. Amber mumbled something again to the teacher,her lips were more expressive this time.

Athasia was starting to feel furious. She wanted to barge in and oppose, but it will only ruin everything. After she saw Amber lift her foot towards Mister Sung's face, she grabbed the door handle.

"Athasia?"

His gentle tone and sweet voice dragged on all the towering emotions in Athasia's system.

Vincent held the young miss' hand and their eyes met. "What are you doing there?" he asked again. He just finished something in the student council office and was on his way back when he saw the young miss.

Athasia gulped and looked down at her hand, held by the second male lead. "I-uhm..I was just—"

Vincent let her go, suddenly thinking that touching her was so rude of him. "Sorry, my body acted impulsively," he apologized. "Are you on your way back now?"

The young miss nodded.

"Mind if I accompany you?" Vincent showed her a sweet smile as he nodded.

Athasia didn't want to drag anyone into this matter, so she agreed to go back to her class now with the second male lead.

They headed down straight to where her classroom was located. Vincent and her didn't talk that much on the way.

When they reached Athasia's class, she said thanks.

Vincent didn't really mind it. He's used to guiding the students back and walking the young lady he treated as a special was enough for him.

"Please don't wander around again," He leaned and gave Athasia a pat on the head, "I will be going now, goodluck to your class,"

The young miss waved her hand until the second male lead disappeared from her sight. It was their homeroom and Mister Sung was in the guidance, so her classmates were a bit chaotic now.

"Hey guys! Look at this!"

"What's that? Something on the school page?"

"Who posted it?"

"Man, it's Amber. I thought she was absent!"

"Look, isn't it Mister Sung?!"

Hearing their teacher's name, everyone gathered in front, where one of her classmates was holding a tablet.

"It's a video! Play it! Play it!"

Athasia felt something. She immediately took out her phone and checked the school's page. There was indeed a video posted by Amber, and as soon as she played it, her amethyst eyes darkened.

It was a quick video of Mister Sung kissing Amber's shoes while crying and asking for forgiveness.

Her grip on her phone became tighter when she read the caption below.
