Nicole had already guessed that this would be the result. While looking at Lulu’s smiling face, she
suddenly stopped on her way. “Wait for me here.”
Lulu inexplicably watched as Nicole jumped over the wall and out of the school. Five minutes later,
Nicole jumped back into the school premise with a cup of hot coffee in her hand. Nicole handed Lulu
the milk tea in her hand and patted Lulu on the head. “You did me a favor, and I bought you a coffee.”
“Really?” Lulu did not expect Nicole to go out of the campus to buy her coffee. Her eyes welled up
involuntarily. “I can’t believe that you would buy me coffee. I am so touched.” Nicole did not expect a
cup of coffee would make Lulu so happy. She thought to herself that she would treat her better from
now on. “Drink it now. Don’t let Ms. Emerson find it out.”
Lulu nodded quickly. The two of them walked slowly toward the classroom building. Lulu finished
drinking all the coffee before entering the classroom. Everyone was in the classroom. They all had
mocking expressions on their faces when they saw Nicole come in.
The post about Ashley was the most viral topic right now. But whenever Nicole showed up, the image
of Nicole together with Samuel and Spencer would still come to mind of those in Class B.
In their eyes, Nicole was disgraceful and an embarrassment for them. ‘Not only did she bully Snow,
but she also hooked up with the handsome Riddle brothers.’
The class monitor, Vivian Collins, who was sitting in the first row, shot Nicole an icy glare.” Even if you
don’t bother about your reputation, you should not embarrass Class B. You flirting with two boys at
the same time brings shame to our class. People have been talking nasty things about our class
because of your frivolous conduct. Yet, you don’t seem to feel shame. We are not as thick-skinned as
you are.”
Everyone nodded in agreement as Vivian had spoken their minds.
Nicole did not even look at Vivian as she walked straight to her seat. It was Lulu who felt a little angry
and wanted to speak out. But she thought better of it when she saw Nicole ignore Vivian.
Gary was sitting in the last row. His eyes were glinting while looking at Nicole, who was not bothered.
When he saw that intimate photo of Nicole with Samuel and Spencer on the forum, somehow a fit of
indescribable anger had arisen within him. He was so furious that he had thrown a cup in his hand
away. Even now, he still had a hard time suppressing that anger. What Vivian had said might sound
unpleasant, but Gary agreed with Vivian’s remarks that Nicole should be mindful of her conduct to
prevent others from questioning her virtue.
When Gary saw Nicole come over, he said coldly, “You should be mindful of your action and behave
yourself decently to avoid becoming a gossip subject. The most important thing for a
girl is reputation; no boy likes a girl with a notorious reputation.”
Nicole did not expect Gary to talk to her, let alone about this topic. She gave him a smirk before
putting on a stern expression. “You think you know me very well? I have the freedom to do whatever I
want. Mind your own business.” Her tone was as cold as a piercing sword.
Her words startled Gary. It was true that he could find nothing about her background, and his
knowledge of her came from internet rumors.
However, he thought, ‘Aren’t those photos real? She was caught on camera treating Snow badly and
acting intimate with many boys. Those photos are plain evidence. Yet, she does not feel any remorse
but felt nothing wrong with herconduct.’Gary’s face sank when he thought of this. He said
indifferently, “It is up to you since you don’t listen to advice.” Nicole paid no heed to his words. She
pulled out her chair and sat down without saying another word to him.
Gary looked at her from behind and clenched her fists. After finishing her lunch with Lulu at noon,
Nicole went alone to the Maths Olympiad training class.
There were only a few people in the lecture hall. Nicole walked to the last row and laid her head on
the table lazily to take some shut-eye.
After a while, a loud noise came.
“You see, Gary and Raine are attending the training class together again. The two of them are indeed
a couple!” a girl exclaimed.
“I am so envious of Raine. Gary has always been known as unapproachable, yet he is now together
with Raine. It seems that the rumors are true,” her companion echoed what the girl had said.
Nicole was not interested in that gossip. When she kneaded her forehead, her long eyelashes gently
caressed his beautiful face like a butterfly’s wings, making her look stunning. Nearby, a boy stared at
her with mouth agape. He jabbed at his buddy and said, “I know Nicole is no match for Snow in other
aspects, but with her face alone, I will give my vote to her for being the prettiest girl in the school.”
His buddy also looked at Nicole and nodded involuntarily. But he then shook his head anxiously. “I am
a fan of Snow. I am no traitor!” He turned his head as he spoke, moving his attention away from
Nicole. As if he was trying to brainwash himself, he mumbled, “I will vote for Snow. I will vote for
Snow…”
Gary and Raine sat in the third row from the last, which Gary had asked for. Raine did not dare to
refuse. Her face contorted from anger when she heard what the boys said at the back
‘I’m also a beauty queen in this school. Not enjoying the same fame as Snow is one thing. Losing to
Nicole is quite another!’ Raine whined silently.
