Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1803

Odie's face turned stormy.

What kind of place is this? You can't even bring a cigarette in here.

"What are you searching for?"

Sophie popped her head around, giving Odie a curious look.

When he noticed her face, Odie couldn't help but look away. "Nothing."

"Class is about to start. Let's head there together."

Sophie took the lead, walking ahead. Odie frowned, "I never said I was going to class."

"Then you're skipping, and at Eastwood College, that's a big deal."

Sophie spoke with sincerity, "If you don't want to get kicked out before the semester even starts, you'd better show up."

"Do you always worry about everything? There are tons of people out there, and many feel like giving up. Do you plan to convince each one to embrace life and turn things around?"

Sophie shook her head. "No one around me would ever give up. They're all positive, looking forward to a bright future."

"Of course they are. Someone like you only knows the rich kids, with their money, power, and connections. Even if they don't do a thing, their futures are set. Why would they ever think of giving up?"

Odie scoffed.

For those at the bottom, they might spend a lifetime and never achieve the life others take for granted.

That's the gap.

The wealthy get to enjoy life, while those without money come into this world just to struggle and end their misery early.

"It's not like that."

Sophie's mood dipped. "Don't let my looks fool you; I don't really have any friends."

"You? No friends?"

"Yeah."

Odie glanced sideways at Sophie, "Why'd you spill all that to me? Aren't you afraid I might be a bad guy, just playing nice?"

"You...definitely don't come off as a good guy."

"..."

"But bad guys don't usually walk around advertising it."

Sophie said, "I think you're just acting tough, but deep down, you're not bad."

Odie stopped in his tracks.

What Sophie said mirrored words she'd spoken before.

"What's wrong? Did I say something off?"

"You did miss the mark."

Odie said softly, "Because I was never a good guy to begin with."
