Chapter 179


    Studying was already exhausting enough; who had the energy to participate in a speech


    competition?


    Everyone kept their heads down, silent.


    “Since everyone is being so modest and not willing to sign up voluntarily, I’ll have to make the call.”


    “Selene, Flora, May, Lucinda, Kaylee…” Keaton chose those whose Spanish grades were rtively


    good in ss.


    “Selene, you’ll be the team leader, responsible for supervising the team members and assigning


    tasks”


    Although Selene was new, she was already well–known, possessing a celebrity effect. Having her


    as the tearn leader wouldn’t cause any disputes, and she couldmand respect.


    After finishing his announcement, Keaton left.


    Besides those participating in the Spanish speechpetition, the other students of ss Z quickly


    slipped away.


    “May, Kaylee, you two are in charge of drafting the script. I need a preliminary draft by tomorrow


    afternoon at thetest so I can review and make revisions.”


    “Ah? Tomorrow afternoon? That seems a bit rushed; we might get it done in time.” May couldn’t


    help but speak up.


    Kaylee nodded in agreement.


    “I’m not asking for a final draft. Just a rough one will do. We’re short on time, and since we’re


    competing, we need to do our best, even if it means getting tired for a few days.” Selene’s tone was


    firm, leaving no room for doubt.


    Without paying any more attention to Kaylee and the others, she continued, “Lucinda and Davina,


    you two are responsible for researching online…”


    Selene indeed had leadership skills, assigning everyone’s tasks efficiently.


    “My oral skills are somewhat better than yours, so I’ll take care of the presentation on stage.”


    “As for Flora…” But when it came to Flora, she hesitated for a moment. “You just need to organize


    everyone’s work.”

    Her tone revealed a hint of disdain, as if Flora was a burden. A trace of contempt flickered through


    Selene’s lowered eyes.


    Yvonne had said that Flora was a poor student. She probably couldn’t even trante aplete


    Spanish sentence in the Spanish speechpetition.


    Flora didn’t seem to mind. She was quiteid–back about these things. Whatever task was


    assigned to her, she would just do it


    Discussing the Spanish speechpetition had taken up some time, so it was somewhatte when


    Flora left school.


    Connor’s car was still parked in the usual spot. Flora slumped into the car, feeling tired.


    Connor noticed herckluster appearance, and thought she had encountered something unpleasant


    at school.


    “Feeling down?”


    “No.” mFlora pinched her temples. “Just got a headache from all the noise.”


    She couldn’t quite understand Selene, who actually enjoyed all the attention.


    “Who dared to annoy you?” Connor let her lie on hisp and began to massage her.


    “A new transfer student named Selene came to our ss. She’s from Maple Grove and is pretty


    famous.”


    Flora closed her eyes, enjoying Connor’s massage. “A bit higher. You can apply more pressure.”


    When Connor heard the name, Selene, his hand paused for a moment.


    He wondered why she woulde to Cedarvale, but he quickly dismissed the thought and


    continued to massage Flora.
