Facade

“The activities organized by the academy should be actively participated in. Our class has many good–looking students. You also don’t need to worry about the speech competition. If you actively sign up, I will find ways to improve your Terranish proficiency!” Kerry passionately promised. 

“This is a rare opportunity for our class to shine in academy activities. We must bravely toss our hats in the ring and participate. We need to prove that although our academic performance may not be as good as the other classes, we are not worthless,” she added. 

Katie was the first to stand up and politely decline, “No, Ms. Lane. We are quite self–aware. We don’t want to bite off more than we can chew.” 

“Yeah, miss. We just want to live our lives peacefully,” another student chimed in. 

Several eager female students who considered participating changed their minds when they learned about the additional tutoring. They were only there to obtain the Covenridge International Academy certificate and didn’t want any extra hassle. 

“Oh damn! Someone just nominated Heral” a student suddenly exclaimed in the class. 

Katie immediately pulled up the forum page on her device, asking, “Who nominated her?” 

“I don’t know—it was anonymous,” 

“Damn. Wasn’t the anonymous feature disabled last time? Why is it back?” 

“Theard someone hacked into the academy’s system and played a prank, but the academy programmers fixedit” 

“What a mess! It’s much better with real names, so we can weed out the imposters. 

The classroom erupted with complaints. 

Meanwhile, in Class A, a voice exclaimed, “Hera from Class Ksigned up!” 

“ob, she’s that rich girl from the countryside. She’s pretty, but can she handle giving a speech in Terranish?‘ 

“Let’s not vote for her, lest she publicly embarrass the academy on its anniversary.” 

“Yeah. Let’s vote for our class president instead.” 

“Right. Our class is the true representative of Cavenridge students.” 

Cindy Fry, the class president of Class A, ranked first academically among sophomores. She even scored an impressive eight out of ten in terms of attractiveness according to the boys‘ aesthetic standards. 

She was currently comparing her vote count with the male candidates for the title, Christopher and Zyler were neck and neck, both leading by a wide margin among the boys 

Cindy herself was also leading among the many other girls who were participating. 

She was fantasizing about performing on stage at the anniversary celebration with Christopher when Hera’s entry immediately tied her vote count. 

Just then, the discussions among Cindy’s classmates gave her a new surge of hope. She was about to speak up when she was interrupted by her deskmate, Lily. 

“Hera’s eagerness to participate is a display of her courage. We should applaud her bravery in trying,” Lily remarked. 

Her unexpected defense of Hera drew cucious glances from many classmates. 

Several classmates who were close to Lily knew of her dislike for Hera, prompting them to wonder why she was suddenly speaking up in Hera’s favor 

“Well, 1 just pity her. She managed to reclaim her position in the Everett family, but then they went bankrupt. Isn’t that sad? Sering her still strive in such circumstances is admirable. That’s why I think we should support her and not discourage her,” Lily explained. 

She felt somewhat disgusted with herself for expressing sentiments she didn’t truly feel. 

While backing Hera was not something Lily would consider, she relished the thought of witnessing Hera embarrass herself in public. She was determined to settle the score for Hera’s past humiliation of her. 

“Very well said.

texpect you to be so kind,” a classmate chimed in, echoing Lily’s sentiment. 

The response stirred sympathy among everyone as they found Lily’s argument reasonable. After all, Hera was undeniably beautiful and seemed genuinely pitiable consequently they all cast their votes for Hera, with some even persuading other classmates to do the same
