"Before I leave..." The teacher said as she packs her things. "I'm sure you guys have already heard that there is an upcoming event for this school, and we must choose a representative for our class—"
Before the teacher can even finish her sentence, one of the students suddenly shouted out a name. "Teacher, I recommend Rebecca to be our female representative!"
Rebecca was pleased when she heard that. 'That's right. You guys should pick me to be our class representative. After all, who else in this class is better than me?' Rebecca felt no threat that someone will snatch her spot to be the class representative because she worked hard just to get on the good side of these good-for-nothing classmates of hers.
"You gotta be kidding me. Rebecca? Sure she is pretty and all, but do you really think that she's going to lead our class to victory? Please, her grade is only average. I think we should pick the new girl, she looks smarter than Rebecca." Another voice was heard, totally against the idea of Rebecca being the class female representative.
Hearing that half of the class agreed, and some did not.
Elizabeth who heard that, snickered at Rebecca. She saw how Rebecca's face lit up when someone recommended her to be the class representative, but when someone mentioned her grades and that she is not suitable for the position, Rebecca's face cracked in displeasure.
Oh, how she loves to see someone's expectation shattered like a fragile glass. 'Hmph! Serves you right! Now that I am here, you are nothing but a decoration that no one will ever notice.'
Elizabeth put up a shy smile on her face, and everyone who saw that was very pleased by her. However, Rebecca is not very pleased; if she was alone with Elizabeth, she might have choked her to death.
Aaron who was watching the situation between Elizabeth and Rebecca suddenly laughed out loud that it made everyone in the class stare at him. "Mr. Coleman, please do share with the class what you found so funny?" The teacher asked; she is clearly displeased by Aaron's rude behavior.
"Teacher, please do forgive me for being so rude, but..." Aaron stared at Rebecca and Elizabeth before continuing his sentence, "do you really think that one of these two is suitable to be our class female representative?" The way Aaron says his words is more like he is mocking the taste of his classmates. This somehow made them feel awkward; Aaron is just too much for them to handle.
None of the class uttered a word except for a certain happy-go-lucky person, Leon. "Aaron, if you're saying that, that must mean that you don't agree with our classmates' choice?"
Ever since Aaron returned back to class, Leon noticed that there is a anger hidden in Aaron's eyes towards the new girl, and since Aaron wants that new girl to sit next to Rebecca, Leon could immediately guess what kind of person she is. 'There's a new pest? Geez! Here I thought there is only one pest is allowed to be in this class.'
"Of course." Aaron smiled at Leon, "I mean, our class representative should be a smart and elegant woman, and I don't think that these two have does aspects. Rebecca has the face and elegance, but her intelligence? It's a no-no. As for the new girl, she also has the face, but we don't even know how much her IQ is; it's a risk to pick her."
Hearing Aaron's long explanation, everyone in the class is starting to get convinced. They are not sure what will be in the pageant, and picking Rebecca might not be a good choice if they are going to base it on intellectual capability. As for Elizabeth, she just came in the class, and picking her also is risky just like what Aaron just said.
"Since these two are not the best choice for our class, who do you think the best one for our class?" Leon asked as if he is wondering who should be their class representative. But he already knows who Aaron has on his mind.
"Leon, I think you already know the answer to that question. The best choice would be my sister." He said in a proud tone. Aaron looked around and saw the unsure look on the faces of his classmates. "I'm not saying this because Anna is my sister, I'm saying this because of what my sister has. She has the elegance and her intelligence is also high, so what is there to be unsure of?"
Everyone in the class knows that among all the female classmates they have, the one who tops the first place is Anna, and since she is born in the Coleman family, being elegance are taught to her since little. If one were to say the truth, Anna is almost perfect to be their class representative.
No one in the class disagrees with Aaron's choice because they too want to win and if they want to win, they will have to choose the best for their class.
Seeing that most of the people in the class are silent, the teacher spoke, "Since no one is going against it, then Anna will be our class representative. Now, we have to choose our male representative."
As voting for the male representative is happening, Rebecca was gripping her pen tightly; clearly, she is angry at the result. 'It should have been me! Why did they have to pick the good for nothing, Anna!' She screamed inwardly.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, was also displeased by the result, but she immediately shrugged it off because it is not worth it for her. The only thing that matters to her right now is her goal for coming to this certain school.
"Too bad. Little miss two-faced lost. Boo-hoo." Elizabeth said to Rebecca in a ridiculing tone.
