Rewriting Life (Eliana and Cameron) novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101

The sudden appearance of the extra botiles caused i

d the Tennis Club to become uproarious. Accepting them would be a massive embarrassment.

“The game time is over, and now you suddenly pull out ten more bottles! You’re trying to heat our count after seeing if

This is what a rule violation looks liket”

We’re not accepting this–those bottles shouldn’t count?“

Vulida stood firm, her hands on her hips. “Why wouldn’t they count? Wallone was also a participant who collected those bottles on campus during the game. If you’ve got extra boules, go ahead and adil thent Oh, wait, you don’t? Then stop complaining

Willow, frigning innocence, said quietly. These bottles were collected earlier sharing the game. I just forgot to add them to the big bag until now What’s wrong with that”

Stella shot her a sharp look. Willow, whether you forgot or not, only you know, but we

know what’s really going on!

The Tennis Club members erupted in anger. “We protest! Adding boules at the last minute like this is unacceptable!”

The Dance Club fired back just as passionately. “Your olijections don’t mean a thing! You’re not the student council–it’s their call! Besides, people forget things all the time. What, do you think she magically pulled them out of nowhere!”

The crowd watching eagerly, as always, turned the saution into a chaotic shouting match.

Wendy folded her arms, her tone icy. “The Tennis Club’s vice president is also the student council president. It’s pretty clear they’re working terther–they’re never going to side with us.“.

“Exactly! Roman is the Tennis Club’s vice president and the student council president. Everyone knows it

Well

ou have it. Clear as day—this is outright favoritism from the student council

there you

The student council members exchanged uneasy glances, clearly put on the spot. Wendy’s words had comered them–if they didn’t accept the Dance Club’s bottles, rumors of collusion between the student council and the Tennis Club would inevitably spread across campus. Any future decisions made by the student council would be scrutinized, and they’d likely face criticism and ridicule for playing favorites

After a brief discussion, the student council announced, “Given the situation, we’ve decided to extend the game time by five minutes. During this time, any remaining bottles may be submitted. After five minutes, the results will be finalized

This was the fairest and most balanced decision they could make, ensuring it wouldn’t spark unnecessary criticism.

Willow stepped forward and handed over her ten extra bottles

Elsie watched in dismay, anxiety evident on her face. “What do we do? Do we have any more bottles left?”

Stella shook her head “No, everything we collected is already in the big bag. There’s nothing left.

They had been so sure of their victory, but no one had anticipated Willow’s hidden stash of bottles. Now, it seemed

dall was lo

lost.

Salla turned to Eliana, desperation creeping into her voice. “Eliana, what do we do now? Only five minutes are left, and even Mr. and Mrs. Morri have already packed up their stall. We’re completely out of bottles–this time, we’ve lost.”

Thomas suggested, “What if we grab some water and drink it fast? The empty bottles should still count, right?”

Landon sighed deeply. “With only five minutes left, there’s no way we’d have time to buy water and get back. Even if we managed it, the dance chib would complain that we cheated. Forget it. If we lose, so be it. Elsie, I’ll take care of your boyfriend’s disciplinary issue.”

The Mitchell family was among the trustees of honstrad University. If Landon decided to step in, overturning the disciplinary action would be simple.

Even so, Elie looked downcast as she listened to his offer. President, no Let’s forget it. I don’t want to trouble you. This game has already taken up enough of everyone’s time”

Hearing this, the Dance Club members burst out laughing.

“Now that’s more like it–just admit defeat already”

“You were never going to beat us. Why drag it out?”

“The medal was ours from the beginning”

Thana glanced and the Dance Clubs and locked eyes with Willow, who wore a self–satisfied smirk as

to say, See! You’ll never win against me

The second is ked by, and the five minute extensi

extension was bearing its end the of the student council mendiers turned toward the Tennis Club “Time’s almost tops. Do you have any more bottles to submit?”

Wabila smirked. “Why even bother asking Look at them–they don’t have anything left. Step wasting time”

“Exactly,” someone else chimed in “If they had any bottles left, they would’ve landed them over long ago. Why wait this long?

It seemed the Tennis Club had run out of options:

The student council members exchanged a glance and then started the countdown.

Wendy chickled smugly. “If they win now, we’ll be nothing short of a miracle”

Wallow added with a smirk. “Wendy, this is reality–miracles like that don’t happen”

d in, with Roman by their side. Each carried several large bags, the unmistakable sound of water bottles clinking inside.
