100 A Secret Affair
Selma Payne’s POV:
Everyone put on their school uniforms at the same time. First, they feared their outfit would get dirty, and second, they wanted to maintain a sense of mystery.
Dorothy had no choice but to lock the fur shawl in the storage cabinet. Unfortunately, the school’s insurance probably could not cover the cost of her dress which was worth two hundred times more than it.
“If I had known, I would have brought the dress to school and changed into it before the dance.” Mara complained, “It’s too long. It looks good during dances, but it’s hard to walk in. ”
Many other girls had the same idea as her, but they still put on their ‘battle robes’ as if nothing had happened.
How many times in a year do you have the chance to wear a gown? Even if I were strangled to death, I’d hold on until the end of the dance!
This was what many people were thinking.
Of course, quite a few students didn’t care and chose to wear the light school uniform. Their swift-like lithe figures made others envious. Thus, I said with uncertainty, “Why don’t we change into our school uniforms first? We can change into our gowns before the dance. Otherwise, it’ll be too uncomfortable.”
Dorothy could not stand it and agreed, ‘The price of beauty is too great! We’re not the ones graduating, so let’s leave the stage for them to compete. I miss my flat shoes so much right now.”
Avril did not care. In her tuxedo, she had no qualms.
So we headed to the stadium’s locker room.
Sure enough, the place was packed with people, and many girls were waiting to change out of their torture devices.
Mara suggested we go to the drama club’s room. The second floor was not open to the public, so we could change clothes in the props warehouse.
Due to the previous conflict, the once glorious drama club was no longer as glorious as it used to be. After Ryan stepped down, the drama club had no choice but to elect a temporary president to manage all the affairs. Guess who that person was?
That was right. It was Carolyn.
“It’s only been half a year,” Mara’s exaggerated expression showed how dissatisfied she was. “A newcomer who has only joined the club for half a year and has no achievements. She only wears her costume and is a decoration in the rest area every day. How can such a person be the president?”
“The acting president,” I reminded her softly.
Mara was even more dissatisfied and thought aloud, “She’s the acting president? Do you know what the first thing she did after taking office was? Kicking out all the actors who had formed plays and re-selecting them. Moreover, she was on the candidate list for the female lead of every play. Isn’t it obvious? She likes to be in the limelight so much, she shouldn’t be an actress. Instead, she should be a projector; she’ll have the stage all to herself. How cool would that be?”
“You liked Carolyn a lot when she first came,” said Avril, trying to provoke her.
“That was then, and now is now.” Mare rolled her eyes. “Who would refuse an angel who has fallen into the mortal world? Unless she has a heart that is the complete opposite of her appearance, no one in the drama club doesn’t hate her. Even those boys who were so fascinated by her before would roll their eyes at the mention of her now.”
“So how did she become the acting president?” I asked in confusion.
“I wasn’t born with a great father.” Mara shrugged and opened the door of the prop warehouse with the key. “If my father was a duke, I could do whatever I wanted to. ”
I told myself that the real Carolyn wasn’t such a person and that the southern Duke wasn’t a stupid father.
Dorothy gave me a look, and we sighed helplessly together.
I’d never felt so comfortable in my school uniform before. The dress with stars embroidered in the silver thread was indeed beautiful, but I felt like I was a piece of ham wrapped in it, and I didn’t dare to move.
After changing our clothes, we were about to leave when we suddenly heard some movement in the corridor. I gestured for the girls to keep quiet and peeked through the door crack.
It was Carolyn and Ryan.
What were they doing here?
I quickly found out they were kissing each other impatiently, not caring that they were in public.
The girls looked at each other in shock.
“Drama!” Mara mouthed.
We were done for. We couldn’t leave now, and we couldn’t stay either. So we stood in place at a loss and prayed that we wouldn’t be blinded by whatever was coming next.
At this moment, Carolyn spoke.
“Go slow, baby. We still have a lot of time,” she moaned coquettishly. “Can you satisfy me? Oh, good doggy, I know you’re mighty… ”
Ryan was like a real dog, licking Carolyn’s tender neck like ice cream. Then, he mumbled, “I will satisfy you, Carolyn. I will…”
For a moment, I was burning with anger. How dare that despicable witch use Carolyn’s identity to do such a thing!
But it was obvious that someone was even angrier than me.
Before we could even react, Avril kicked open the door to the storage room and strode out like a proud flamingo, mocking the dumbfounded couple by the curtains.
“Good day, Mr. Genius, Miss Duke.
“Are you guys rehearsing? Oh, this is really a good show, but it’s a pity that it’s a little R-rated. Otherwise, we could’ve put it on stage, right?”
Moon Goddess, she was really cool at this moment.
