Chapter 36
Then, Annette asked Mirabella to introduce hersell to the class.
Standing before dozens of pairs of eyes, Mirabella was the picture of cool composure, not a hint of panic in her stance, She turned around, grabbed a marker from the tray, and began to scribe her name ‘Mirabella‘ on the whiteboard in swift, confident strokes,
Her handwriting was beautiful, a rarity of the perfect script that seemed to carry an air of elegance, reflecting the cool aura that surrounded her,
“Wow, the new girl is drop–dead gorgeous and has stunning penmanship. Talk about a double whammy.”
“My heart’s racing all of a sudden.”
“With those looks and that vibe, I’ve made up my mind–she’s my new crush!”
Annette heard the students‘ murmurs and her face darkened in an instant. She let out a pointed cough, and just like that the buzzing classroom fell silent,
Quickly, she directed Mirabella to take a seat by the window on the far right, at the last empty desk. After a few words about the importance of diligence in studies, she let the students start on some quiet reading before leaving the classroom.
As soon as Annette exited, the room, once silent as church mice, erupted once again with chatter, mostly centered around the newcomer, Mirabella.
“Hey, new kid. I’m Jenna. We’re desk buddies now. If you’ve got any questions, Just shoot!” Jenna sald with a friendly smile, her cute face and delicate features making her look like a kind–hearted pixle.
Mirabella turned her head to look at Jenna and coolly raised an eyebrow. “Mind if I take a look at your chemistry textbook, cutie?”
Jenna stared at Mirabella, her cheeks blushing a deep crimson at that pet name ‘cutie.‘ Realizing her own fluster, she quickly covered her face with her hands, thinking. “Oh my gosh, the new girl is such a flirt–my poor little heart can’t handle it.”
Mirabella, who just wanted to borrow a textbook, was puzzled.
Finally calming her racing heart, Jenna remembered Mirabella had asked for her book and hurriedly handed over her chemistry textbook. “Here you go.”
“Thanks,” Mirabella responded with a light smile.
Once again, Jenna felt her heartstrings tugged, and after a moment, she managed to stammer out a shy. “You’re welcome.”
Mirabella offered Jenna another semi–smile and then returned to the textbook in her hands.
Jenna swallowed hard, thinking how lucky she was to share a desk with someone so beautiful and cool. Yet, seeing how studious the new girl appeared made Jenna feel ashamed of her casual approach to learning. With that thought. Jenna subconsciously reached for a book of her own.
Rumors traveled fast, and by the end of the morning, nearly the entire senior class knew about the stunningly attractive girl who had transferred into The Advanced Class Three. Curiosity had led many students to sneak peeks at Mirabella during their breaks. After laying eyes on her, students returned to their classrooms, buzzing with talk about the beautiful transfer student. So, before long, word reached Summer in the Prodigy Class.
Summer, with her above–average grades and upper–middle ranking in the Prodigy Class, was unsettled by the stir Mirabella had caused in just one morning across the senior year.
Before Mirabella’s arrival, Summer had enjoyed the status of the undisputed campus queen, especially after her surge in popularity from the Superstar Camp. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
