Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: We all are

"Hey, did you hear?"

"Hear, what?"

The female student quickly whispered to her friend, and the latter drew her head back with a gaping mouth.

"No way."

"Yes way."

"Oh, my god!"

The girls quickly engaged in gossip regarding the bet that had happened during the morning. These girls were simply one of the many who were talking about it. From one mouth to another, the bet quickly spread until every single student heard about it.

Some teachers got wind of the talks that were happening within the campus because everyone was just talking about it. However, they decided not to interfere, thinking this was a good way for their students to motivate themselves.

Challenging the ranks of the star section was a friendly competitive academic game that was good for the students and the school.

This would motivate more students to try to reach the unreachable, while those who were already in the star section wouldn’t be complacent. It made the students study more. Hence, the reason the school produced countless relevant individuals in society.

Inside the school, there was a private greenhouse where only the star section students could step in to relax or get away from the noises within the building.

One student stood behind the intricate chair and bent over, whispering to another teenage boy’s ear.

"A bet?" Max, the current 5th holder of the star section, smirked in amusement. "You’re saying that kid from the Miller is challenging the tenth place?"

The boy laughed so hard his stomach hurt. The very few students (three in total excluding the boy) having tea with him simply cast him an indifferent look.

"I see, I see. Get out now." Max waved dismissively, facing the ones seated with excitement. "Guess what I heard?"

"You already blurted it out loud," Kiara, a young lady who currently holds the 7th place in the star section, lifted her teacup to her lips. "Someone’s challenging Finn."

"The kid from the Miller Family, huh?" the other teenage boy tipped his glasses up. "I heard he cinched first last semester."

Kiara let out a chuckle, but didn’t say anything.

"Ah... I want to tell Finn about it." Max tilted his body sideways. "Why did he miss school today? That jerk."

"Some relative in France died, so their entire family had to attend the service," said the other boy. "He’ll be back. No rush. You guys can have a good laugh later."

"I want to laugh more now!" Max grumbled, his body almost shaking with excitement. "Watching little flies like them try to step in here is fun to watch. Ah! I hope it’s exam day now! Finally, some fun after so long!"

Max slowly melted on the couch as his energy continued to slip away from him the longer he had to contain the news to himself. These guys with him weren’t fun and their reaction was too dull for his taste. He wanted to laugh and gossip!

"Ah, Kiara, are we switching ranks this coming semester?" the boy with glasses cast the elegant-looking young lady a look.

Kiara didn’t answer immediately as she placed down her teacup. "No. I don’t want to sit next to Ray."

The current top three of the star section sighed. "I don’t want to be beside him either." He only agreed to Kiara’s proposal because he had a crush on her. But being third had its cons, especially since the first row in their classroom brought a different kind of pressure than the rest of the class.

"Don’t be sad, Max," the other young lady who completed the group looked at Max helplessly. Unlike Kiara, she had short, curly hair with a pink clip on the side. "We can talk about it if you want."

Max glanced up at the girl and then looked away. "Never mind," he continued to sulk. "You’re too boring to talk to."

"Ah. You heard that one, huh?" Ray chuckled. "But he’s not the only one who did the bet." _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
