“I didn‘t know you didn‘t know.” Nicole looked at her, pretending to be in surprise.
“What are the prizes? Tell us.” Vivian and the others immediately gathered around Nicole.
“I‘ve heard that the prizes for the women‘s group are bracelets and designer bags.” Nicole deliberately l
eaked this information to Vivian.
“Impossible. The Royal Creek Institute
has never had such an award, let alone bracelets and designer bags.” Vivian looked incredulous, for sh
e had read the history of the Royal Creek Institute in the library.
“Then there is something that you don‘t know. I heard it is not the Royal Creek Institute but off–
campus investors that
sponsor the prizes.” Nicole revealed to Vivian some ideas she had previously given to Stanley and Edw
in. “That‘s impossible. Why would an off–
campus investor sponsor a sports event?” Vivian still did not believe what Nicole had said.
“If you don‘t believe me, you find out from the student union during the break and see if I
have lied to you.” Nicole had a serious look in her eyes.
The others saw Nicole did not look like she was lying, and they all nodded their heads.
Nicole could see that
everyone except Vivian had been somewhat convinced, so she made hay while the sun shone. “So you
should know, training is not only for the collective honor of the class but also for your benefits.”
Everyone felt what Nicole
said had a point, so they no longer complained they were tired. Instead, a competitive atmosphere aros
e, as everyone feared being outdone. Only Vivian felt depressed and left.
During the break, Lulu walked up to Nicole and asked,” All students said there would be awards
such as bracelets and designer bags to be won in the competition . Is this true?”
“It‘s true.” There was no need for Nicole to hide it anymore, as the student union would announce it eve
ntually.
Lulu still did not believe it before this, thinking it was just a rumor upon hearing it from Nicole. Lulu
was pleasantly surprised, taking June‘s hands and jumping for joy.
When everyone knew that there were prizes to be won, they trained even harder. Even the boys who sl
acked a lot previously were now trying to keep up with everyone else.
“With concentration and unity, I believe our class will win many prizes on the sports day.” Nicole continu
ed to boost the morale of everyone.
In the afternoon, news of the giving of prizes at the
sports day was confirmed. The student union publicly announced the matter on the bulletin board
and school forum. Some people not
in the know thought it was just a prank, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they believed it. This mat
ter became a hot topic of discussion at school. Everyone
was talking about it, and many people expressed the
hope that such a sports event should be held more frequently.
After school, Nicole was called to Mr. Ellison‘s office.
“Take a seat, Nicole.” Mr. Ellison poured Nicole a cup of coffee.
“You are looking for me for something, Mr. Ellison?” Nicole looked at him.
“Can‘t I just see you for a cup of coffee?” Mr. Ellison smiled.
“Sure.”
“I heard that the student union announced giving prizes for the sports day, and it was your
idea.” Mr. Ellison took a sip of the coffee.
“Yeah, the school holds a sports day yearly, and the students have aesthetic fatigue. So I thought there
seems to work well.” Nicole was pleased with the response after the announcement.
“Not half bad at all. It has raised the enthusiasm of all students. Good job, Nicole.”
