Eclipse, who had remained silent throughout the entire ordeal, stood up, slipping her phone into her bag.
She looked around at the faces of her classmates, her once-familiar tormentors, and smiled.
It was a smile filled with confidence and quiet strength.
"I've already reported everything to the authorities," Eclipse said calmly, her voice steady. "The truth will come out soon enough. And when it does, I hope everyone here remembers what they said today."

With that, Eclipse turned and walked out of the room, leaving behind a stunned silence.
As soon as these words were spoken, the students who had just accused Eclipse Rocelyn of wrongdoing were stunned.
It was clear from what Eclipse had said that there was more to the story behind the incidents that made her infamous.
