Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Clara’s POV:

After my classes ended, I ran to the student diner to grab something to eat. Luckily for me, I remembered all of these classes from my previous life, otherwise it would have been a grueling day. As I walked up to the register to pay for my burger, someone reached over me handing the cashier their black card. I quickly spun around to see who was paying for my lunch. It was Casey. Confused, I was about to ask him why when he held up his hand.

“Consider it an apology for giving you shit earlier.”

During class, I’d answered majority of the instructor’s questions. All of the students just stared on as

the prodigy proved she was worth the hype.

I smiled sheepishly at him and nodded my head.

“Thank you, I appreciate that.”

Casey wasn’t a bad person, he was just cocky, it was good for him to learn now he wasn’t god’s gift

to the world. Holding out my hand for a shake, I smiled my most polite smile.

“Friends?”

He stared at my hand for a moment before taking it into his and shaking. His face was full of

confusion when he finally smiled.

“You’re a strange girl Rouleau.”

Hearing him call me that immediately shocked me. In all my years, even in my previous life, no one had ever referred to me as Rouleau. It was always Granger up until I married Jason and then it became Sterling. Hearing him call me my mother’s name did something poetic to me. Why should I bare the name of a man who cared nothing for me. All that did was allow him to ride off my glory. I’d made up my mind, first thing tomorrow, I would be changing my name, Smiling at Casey, I offered him to join me for lunch.

“So, you went to Batrum huh?”

I nodded as I continued to eat my fries.

“If I hadn’t left early, I probably would have been valedictorian,‘

When I looked up at Casey, he had this puzzled look on his face.

“How old are you Rouleau.”

29 almost slipped out my mouth, thankfully I caught it in time.

“I’m 16, I’ll be 17 in October. Why?”

“Because you just seem really old to be this young.”

I let out a nervous laugh, that was the second time I heard that over that past two days. I better figure out how to act 17 again before people get suspicious, though I doubt they’d surmise I died and came back to life.

“I’ve been around a lot of adults.”

Casey scrunched his eyes but decided my explanation made sense.

After we ate, Casey followed me out to the annex.

“Where are you going?”

“The labs. I need to use the lab for something.”

“You have lab homework already?”

“Something like that.”

I answered vaguely not wanting to give too much away, I was already slightly annoyed he was

following me.

As we entered the lab, I took a look over. The same as it was in my previous life, Lexington had some

of the best labs in the country, I would definitely be able to put my medicines together here.

I pulled out my books and ingredients immediately and got to work. Casey looked at me with a

confused expression. Slowly walking over to the table, he took a look at all of my notes and the ingredients next to them.

“What is all of this?”

Staring into a microscope, I answered blandly.

“They’re medications I’ve created to help with the common cold.”

In my previous life, I managed to do what many others before me could never do. CURE the common cold. Once I mastered that, I was able to create cures for a variety of ailments such as covid, the flu,

pneumonia, etc.. It also opened the door for me to create my cure for cancer expanding on my mother’s equations.

“Wait what! Are you telling me you’ve created medications to help with the common cold?”

Still writing and looking through the microscope, I once again answered flatly.

“No…”

“Oh, because I was about-”

“I’ve created an actual cure for it. I just needed a lab to put it all together.”

Casey stood in complete and total shock. His mouth was hanging open, his mind trying to grasp what I’d just said. Finally, he swallowed and began to speak.
