Chapter 60
Ethan's eyes widened a little but he was able to control them.
He knows Lady Madison told them on purpose and he's not bothered about it.
Ethan at that moment nodded his head and left.
The office was quiet and nobody could say anything.
Ethan made his way to his class hall, his footsteps echoing in the emptiness.
Then He paused outside the door, steeling himself. He knew his late arrival would cause a stir but he didn't do it on purpose so the Lecturer will understand.
He opened the door and slipped inside. Instantly, all eyes were on him. it was as if they were all waiting for him to come.
The Lecturer was a stern-looking woman.
immediately she saw Ethan and she frowned at the interruption of her class.
However upon seeing it was Ethan she just shook her head.
"Mr. Ethan,"
she said, her voice was sharp.
"How nice of you to join us now. I assume you have a very good reason for your lateness?"
Ethan at that moment Couldn't believe what he was hearing, he knows out of all the Lectures in the school she doesn't like him and she doesn't hide it, but how come she is acting all nice towards him.
He swallowed, feeling the weight of everyone's stares and the lecturer suddenly kindness.
"I apologize for the disruption, ma'am. I was in a meeting with Mr. Harrington and the new head of disciplinary management."
Upon hearing what Ethan just said a ripple of whispers went through the class hall.
one of them leans in and whispers "Hey, did you hear what Ethan just said?"
He raises his eyebrow in disgust.
"Yeah, apparently he claims he had a meeting with Mr. Harrington and the new head of discipline."
she wanted to laugh but she managed to hold herself
the other then nodded slowly
"But that doesn't make sense. Why would Mr. Harrington meet with Ethan of all people?"
Ms.Miller, glared at Ethan. She had never liked Ethan, and today, she was going to make sure he knows it.
"I guess when you're on a scholarship, you think you can just come and go as you please, huh? Maybe you think you can do whatever you want, scholarship boy."
The other students started laughing again and some started to whisper among themselves.
"Yeah"
one of the boys called out.
"He probably doesn't care about being on time since he's not paying. They say people don't value things when they're free, and he's just providing it to be correct"
More laughter filled the hall. Some students nodded in agreement.
"Exactly,"
another student chimed in.
"This is why the school should just stop giving out scholarships to all of these poor background families. They don't deserve it. And It's not fair to the rest of us whose parents actually have to work hard and pay for us to be here."
At that moment Ms. Miller smirked, enjoying the way the class was turning against Ethan. That wasn't her plan but she liked it.
She crossed her arms and looked at him with a cruel smile.
"You know what, Ethan? I'm feeling generous today,"
she said.
"I'll let you stay in class, but only if you get down on your knees and crawl to your seat. That's the only way you're getting in. You should be grateful I'm even giving you this little Punishment."
immediately some of the students erupted into laughter again. They started chanting.
"Crawl! Crawl! Crawl!"
Ethan couldn't hide the anger anymore he clenched his fists, his anger rising .
'I know Ms. Miller just wants to make an example of me because I'm the easy target, because she thinks nobody would fight for me, and she can do whatever she likes. However all of that is in the past now and he's not going to allow anyone step on him'
Ethan said to himself.
He wasn't going to let Ms. Miller humiliate him like this ever again. Not again. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

Ms. Miller at that moment frowned seeing Ethan brought out his phone instead of him crawling to his seat.
"What do you think you're doing? I didn't say you could use your phone, I said crawl to your seat."
