Reborn Before Our Graduation Trip

An accident occurred during my graduation trip, causing me to get my left leg amputated. Surprisingly enough, Britney Lambert, the campus belle whom I had a crush on, proposed to me afterward.

We were married for the next 30 years. Throughout our marriage, we respected and concerned each other properly.

Before I passed away, I found out that all 199 love letters that I had written were thrown into the trash pile. Meanwhile, Britney kept the love letters another person had sent her in a safe. Obviously, she treated those letters like her most cherished treasure.

When my illness took a turn for the worse, I could only lie on my sickbed with one foot in my grave.

Britney arrived at my ward later than usual. Before I closed my eyes, I heard the final words she uttered to me.

"Next time, don't save me anymore."

I finally understood her real feelings for me. She'd rather die than be with me, it seemed.

When I wake up again, I've returned to the timeframe before the graduation trip starts.

This time, I decide not to have anything to do with Britney. We shall be strangers in this lifetime.

But when the accident occurs once again, Britney is the one rushing toward me.

I blinked blankly and looked around. The faces before me were both familiar and strange at the same time. Yet, every single one of them looked young.

The seven of us had once been the best of friends in high school. But an accident during our graduation trip changed everything. My best friend, Lionel Tawney, died. I, on the other hand, was left disabled.

The pain from it all was too great. No one dared to bring it up. In the end, we all gradually drifted apart.

"So, what do you think about going to Windmare Cave for our high school graduation trip? Say something already."

Upon seeing that I still hadn't snapped out of it even after a long time, Lionel, who was sitting on my left, gave my head a heavy smack.

When I saw my old friend before me again, so animated and full of life, I was both shocked and overjoyed.

I had somehow gone back to the time before the graduation trip. This was the very beginning of the tragedy that was about to unfold.

"What's wrong with Channing? Did he lose his mind after hearing that Britney Lambert, the campus belle, is coming with us? What a loser!"

The moment I heard that name, I felt my blood run cold.

In my previous life, Britney had suddenly said she and a few of her female friends wanted to join us for the trip. But in the end, all of her
