Chapter 178
‘Are you looking for trouble?* Dane kicked the person who had just spoken.
The person dodged with a cheeky grin.
Flora buried her head in her arms on the desk, feeling a headache coming on. It was too noisy. If she had known it would be like this she wouldn’t have let Selene sit nearby.
Fortunately, the teacher soon arrived, and the students obediently returned to their seats.
The first class was Geography.
Selene couldn’t help but glance at Flora. She saw her seriously looking at the blackboard, hér right hand wrapped in a bandage and holding a pen, but she didn’t write anything throughout the class. Her gaze seemed unfocused.
A hint of scorn flashed in Selene’s eyes.
Flora was a true underachiever. She didn’t even take notes.
Selene shifted her gaze away from Flora and focused on the lesson.
The second period was Math.
Mr. Smith explained the two major problems that most students got wrong in the last test, then let everyone study on their own.
Dane turned around, holding his notebook, and asked Flora, “Flora, how do you solve this problem?”
Selene couldn’t help but take another look. It was a problem on curve functions. For her, it was a straightforward question. But for Flora, the so–called underachiever, solving it might as well be rocket science.
Flora originally wanted to explain, but with her hand injured, she felt lazy and reluctant to make the effort.
“Do you know how to solve it?” Flora noticed Selene was looking over, so she turned her head towards her. “Yes.”
“Ah… then, could you explain it to him?”
Selene frowned. Was Flora ordering her around?
Dane, following Flora’s lead and considering her injury, gave Selene a grateful smile. “Then, please, Selene. I would really appreciate that.”
“No problem.”
Dane asked nicely, and Selene, being new to the class, couldn’t refuse. She patiently explained the problem to Dane.
“Got it, got it.” Ten minutes later, Dane finally figured it out and thanked Selene before focusing on solving the problems.
Flora watched from the side and nodded slightly.
Selene’s approach was indeed commendable. Flora saw the benefit of having Selene’s help and thought of letting her assist Dane and others with their problems in the future.
During the break, the halls of Class Z were almost bursting with people, all there to see the genius girl, Selene.
“Ah, Selene, the genius, is so pretty. Look, she’s not even wearing makeup. Her skin is amazing!”
“Oh, you’re so straight! She did makeup. It’s just a nude look! I think her skin is just okay, not as good as Flora’s next to her.”
“How can you compare them? Selene is from Maple Grove, and the dean has personally invited her to join the the University of Maple Grove’s Medical School, and she’s a member of Club 257. Her future is boundless. How can Flora compare to her?”
All day long, Flora’s ears never had a moment of peace.
So annoying.
Finally, school was over, and the students of Class Z were ready to run out like wild horses freed from their reins.
However, they were stopped by the homeroom teacher, Keaton.
“Everyone, sit back down. I have one more thing to announce.”
Amidst groans and complaints, Keaton walked up to the podium and said, “The school is organizing a Spanish Speech Contest this Friday, and every class must participate. There will be groups of six from each class, so discuss amongst yourselves who will go. The administrative office needs the list urgently, by tomorrow moming, so let’s decide now. Those who want to sign up,
