Chapter 180
Flora stepped into Class Z and immediately, saw Kaylee standing next to Selene, holding a notebook in her hands.
Flora walked to her seat and sat down. Kaylee greeted her and then placed the notebook on Selene’s desk.
“Selene, this is the first draft I wrote up last night. Take a look,” she said, her voice hoarse and weary. Her face was etched with fatigue, and her eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.
Selene skimmed through it and frowned.
“This won’t do. It’s too superficial. Our topic is about the monumental changes in life brought about by the rapid development of new technologies and the internet. You should do some more research online, maybe check out the latest tech news, summarize it, and then rewrite it. What you’ve written here just isn’t usable.”
“Alright, I’ll write a new one,” Kaylee said, taking back the notebook and returning to her seat.
Finally, the moming classes came to an end, and the students rushed out at lunchtime.
Dane and Alex were excited to grab pork ribs from the cafeteria.
Flora went out to eat with Connor as usual. As she was leaving, she noticed Kaylee still deeply engrossed in her writing.
She approached and tapped on the desk. “Aren’t you going to eat?”
Kaylee looked up tiredly. “I’ll pass. I haven’t finished my speech yet. I want to use the lunch break to get it done.”
“Weren’t you supposed to write it with May? Why are you the only one working on it?”
Speaking of May, Kaylee felt somewhat helpless. She had approached her several times to discuss the project, but May was always too busy with her own assignments and asked Kaylee to do more of the work.
Kaylee had no choice but to do it alone, and at this rate, they wouldn’t have a speech ready by the competition day.
Flora’s phone buzzed. It was Connor asking if she was coming out. She quickly replied that she would be out soon and told Kaylee before leaving.
After lunch with Connor, Flora returned to school.
In Class Z, most of the students were already napping on their desks.
Flora walked over to Kaylee, who was still fervently writing. Flora handed her a takeout box.
“Eat something first, then take your time thinking.”
“Flora, thank you so much.”
Kaylee was deeply moved, taking the takeout box outside to the hallway to eat. The food’s smell was too strong for the classroom. Her classmates were still sleeping.
Flora went back to her seat.
School resumed at two, and she usually napped in Connor’s RV before going back to class right on time. Today, she had to bring Kayee some food, so she returned to school right after lunch with Connor.
Feeling sleepy, she dozed off uneasily at her desk.
When school was over in the afternoon, Kaylee showed her newly written draft to Selene.
“You managed this in one day?” After reading through the draft, Selene looked displeased. “Didn’t I already tell you how it should be written? Did you even take this seriously?”
“I really did my best…”
“Then it’s an issue with your abilities,” Selene interrupted impatiently. “Do you realize how important this is? We need to base our presentation on your draft and do a series of follow–up tasks. Because of you, we’ve already lost a day!”
