Revenge of the False Scarlet Letter

During the year that changed my life, my high school homeroom teacher called me to the corridor and asked if I was the heroine of the dirty scandal that shook the whole school.

“I know you’re here on a scholarship because of your family’s underprivileged background, but you can’t just do anything for money!”

As everyone threw me strange looks, she continued smugly, “Don’t deny it. The mole on the girl’s neck is just like yours!”

I calmly wiped off the ink stain on my skin, revealing my unblemished neck. My teacher turned red in the face.
