Ms. Emerson looked at the entire class, her face growing stiff from smiling.
Noticing how troubled Ms. Emerson looked, Nicole sighed.
Although it was just a soft sigh, Ms. Emerson had taken notice of it, giving her a glimmer of hope. "Nicole...do you know anything about computers?"
Nicole's performance in the previous semester had prompted Ms. Emerson to notice her. It seemed to her that Nicole was an all-rounder who knew a little about everything. The only thing Ms. Emerson was not sure about, was whether Nicole possessed any skills when it came to computers.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Nicole.
Nicole could not decline Ms. Emerson in front of everyone, so she nodded her head lightly. "Yeah, a little."
‘If it's just for a national competition, I don't think I need to do much. Just a little demonstration of what I know will do, I suppose,’ she inferred.
Once Nicole had replied, Ms. Emerson immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great. That's great. All of you don't have to feel the pressure. Even though each class has to send three representatives, you don't have to be exceptional. It's good enough if you could just represent the school, attend the preliminary round, and gain a certificate of participation.”
In truth, Ms. Emerson did not have high expectations for anyone. She was happy as long as there were people willing to join the event.
‘I definitely made the right decision appointing Nicole as the class president. No matter what, she would be willing to cooperate with me,’ Ms. Emerson thought/
After hearing Ms. Emerson mentioning that all they had to do was to attend the competition and gain a certificate of participation, Bradley became interested too. After all, he liked to play with computers as well.
"Ms. Emerson, if you do not mind, I'll fill up the empty slot and join the team. But I don't really know much. I usually play games only...”
Jack could not resist kicking Bradley from behind. "And yet you have the nerve to join this competition? If it's just about playing video games, I know how to do that as well.”
On the other side of the room, Wayne chimed in as soon as he heard that they could play video games while joining the competition. "You're going with our boss? Well, sign me up as well!”
Wayne had done so, as he felt that she should not be looked down upon by other people.
With this three more students wanting to join the competition. Ms. Emerson was pleasantly surprised. "Alright then, all of you may go together. The principal will be happy to have more representatives in the team too.”
Conversely, Nicole rolled her eyes at Bradley. ‘If he wanted to join the competition, why didn't he say so earlier? He could bring Wayne and the two big lugs along. They did not need me to fill the spot up at all.’
However, now that Ms. Emerson had appointed the five of them to join the competition, it seemed like there was no way out anymore.
Bradley broke into cold sweat once he received a stare from Nicole. ‘What did I do? I was just cooperating with Ms.
Emerson and Nicole. I even pulled two more people in with us. Why is Nicole so unhappy?’
Once he saw that Ms. Emerson had left, Bradley quickly asked Nicole in a low voice, "Nicole, did I do anything wrong? Why were you staring at me?"
Nicole responded to him with a blank look. "Nothing. You did well. Extremely well...”
Nicole balled her hands into fists as she uttered those last few words. Bradley was so frightened that the hairs on his back began to stand on end.
At that moment, Bradley began to feel a strong urge to urinate. “I-I'm going to the washroom."
Indeed, Bradley was such a wuss that he had almost wet himself. But then again, Nicole's presence could be truly frightening at times.
Watching as Bradley escaped in a hurry, Lulu became confused. "Nicole, what happened? Are you unhappy?"
In response, Nicole grunted. "I'm pissed at that copycat, Bradley! If he wanted to join, he could have said it earlier.”
Lulu and June did not understand Nicole. They looked at each other with their faces brimming with confusion.
The air between the three of them was not pleasant at all. However, Gary, who was seated right behind, was inexplicably happy.
‘Finally! I get to join a competition with Nicole again!’
It did not matter what competition it was. As long as he could be with Nicole and show his strengths to her, Gary would be very happy.
When Wayne spotted his classmate's rare smile, he teased Gary, "Boss, why are you suddenly in such a good mood?"
