A few months have passed, and I have to say Oriane has changed in a surprising way. It hasn't been a perfect change, but she actually started to stop intimidating other girls instead of just pretending to stop while doing it in total secret.
And her grades began to recover slowly as she picked up extra assignments and put effort into the last exams. Of course, I still kept my distance to see if she really wouldn't do anything stupid in secret, and obviously she still bullied people from time to time, but the frequency went way down.
"Pandora!! Look... I... I have the final grade results, I saved it to show you. If I passed, it means we're going to college together..." She says, holding an envelope. I show her mine, which is already open.
"98... really high, first place got a 99." She speaks with a tone of pride seeing my grade.
