A couple of days had passed since the party, but news of what had transpired during the party spread throughout the whole academy like wildfire.
It was to the point that pretty much everyone knew what had happened.
Currently, I was laying on my bed staring at the white ceiling of my room. Lost in my own thoughts.
I thought that since I didn't directly participate in the main plotline of the story that the future wouldn't change.
I thought I had full control of my memories, so I decided to take advantage of them and help myself to some of the benefits whilst also trying to not affect the plotline.
But I was wrong...no matter how small the change was, once it began...there was no stopping it.
It suddenly hit me.
One little change could cause massive changes to the whole story. It was like a domino chain.
Regardless of how small the force was, once the first domino fell, like a chain reaction all the dominos fell apart.
I was naive, no! I was arrogant.
Because of my arrogance, the plotline started changing. In a way that I was losing control of the advantage that I had as the author.
The event between Elijah and Amanda should've never happened this early in the novel. Somehow my actions had affected the novel. Despite me repeating to myself that everything was going to be fine, I was simply lying to myself.
I couldn't deny something that happened right before my eyes. I couldn't deny that my existence itself had changed the plotline.
...I fundamentally needed to change the way I was thinking.

'It seems like the news was already starting to spread outside of the academy...'
During these past few days, Amanda managed to cement herself as one of the foremost geniuses in our generation. 'Ice queen', 'Bow Godess', 'villain killer' all sort of nicknames started circulating around the academy as everyone started paying attention to her.
The reason for such attention was because...she singlehandedly defeated a
Turning off my phone, I gave myself a pat on the back. It seems like I managed to cover my traces quite well as nothing was mentioned regarding me.
It also seems that Thomas covered for me, preventing anyone from finding out that I was responsible for tipping them about the incident.
Looks like I owe him one...
Fortunately, apart from the small loophole, with the facts pointing towards Amanda, my daily life returned to what it was before.
well, that was how it was supposed to be like, but...
After changing and heading to my classroom, I noticed two eyes deeply staring at me from the left side of the classroom.
Awkwardly smiling, I lightly waved in Amanda's direction. I was hoping she would take then hint and leave me alone, but it seemed that my action only further increased the intensity of her stare.
'...does she perhaps have a grudge against me for putting her in the spotlight?'
I thought as I tried my best to look at the front, ignoring her piercing stare.
