Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 48: Rehearsal

Today, the exam papers of the remaining two subjects were also handed out. When Alina's scores were added up, she was surprised to be the first in the class.

The main reason was that the students of class 126 were either too bad in a certain subject, or are not good at each subject. So their total scores were not high.

In the canteen for lunch, Rose tried to ask Alina to pay the bill. When her classmates heard it, they were cheering up.

"Alaina, your treat! Alaina, your treat! Alaina, your treat!"

Alina felt she was pushed to give a treat.

Seeing that things were out of control, Rose felt very sorry. "Alaina, I, I didn't expect this to happen. I'm sorry!"

"It's okay. It's not your fault." Alina patted her on the shoulder, turned around and said to her classmates, "Okay, my treat. Each of you can have a chicken leg or chicken wing."

"Wow..."

"Alaina, you are awesome!"

Looking at the long queue of her classmates, Alina thought that fortunately, she was a rich person now, or she would really be embarrassed today.

The noise made by class 126 attracted the attention of many students in the canteen.

They couldn't help asking each other what was going on there.

Joanna and her classmates were taking food by the window. Seeing that Alina was in a good mood, she curled her lips and said to her classmates, "It's just that her family is rich. She has nothing to be proud of!"

"I heard that she ranked first in her class. Her classmates asked her to pay the bill!

"She?!" Joanna's tone was full of disdain, "How many points did she get?"

"I don't know the exact score, but how high the score of the first place in class 126 can be?"

"She's so arrogant. She's the first in her class. Maybe she can't even compare with the last one in our class!"

On the other side, Joseph also heard the noise of class 126. He poked the rice on the plate and said impatiently, "It's so noisy!"

"It seems that it's Alaina's treat. How about I get a chicken leg too?" Sam smiled.

Howard said indifferently, "You go and get one for me."

Joseph looked down upon them, "Didn't you see that she treats students from class 126? You are not in class 126."

"I'm kidding. Don't be so serious! I heard that Alaina got the first place in her class. She is really something!"

Joseph said with disdain, "Humph! What's so good about her? She just ranked the first in class 126!"

"She didn't win the first place last month, but she has made such a big progress this month. If she continues to make progress, your name will be written upside down!"

"No way! You're kidding!" Joseph thought it was definitely impossible.

After the uproar in the canteen, Alaina quickly became famous in the whole school.

After dinner, Alina and Leo came to a meeting room. The head teacher got this place for them.

They took out the script and read it word by word. During the process, there was neither verbal communication nor eye contact. After a few times, the only progress was that they memorized the script.

One hour later, they finished their work and left.

On the way back to the classroom, Alina went to the washroom first. Then she went back to the classroom, ten minutes later than Leo did.

Seeing her come back, Rose asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you come back with Leo?"

Alina was confused, "Why should I come back with him?"

Rose blinked, "A waterfront pavilion gets the moonlight first! What a good chance!"

"What are you talking about! I like the sun!"

After school in the afternoon, Alina and Leo also went to the meeting room.

They stood in the open space and read the script. When they were about to read it again, Mr. Su came in.

The expression on his face was complex. "So you rehearse like this?"

Alina looked around and said nothing.

Leo looked away with a cold face.

"Your performance should be vivid and emotional. Why was there no emotion in your performance just now? Come on, put in your emotion and start it again."

They began again at Mr. Su's request, but they were interrupted halfway.

"Stop, stop, stop! There's a little bit of emotion now, but... I feel something is wrong. By the way, can you take a good look at each other? It's not a news broadcast. You still need to make eye contact! Come on, let's do it again."

After more than an hour, although Mr. Su was still dissatisfied, it was late and he couldn't keep them practicing.

There were only two people left in the campus, one in front of the other, one tall and one short.

When they walked out of the school, a black car stopped at the gate. Seeing that Leo came out, the driver pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Young Master, you finally come out. Please get in the car."

Leo walked a few steps towards the car. When he turned his head and saw Alina walking outside, he stopped slightly.

Seeing this, the driver asked, "Young Master, is that your classmate? Do you want to give her a ride?"

Leo opened the door, bent over and sat down. Looking at the window on the other side, he replied indifferently, "Whatever."

Was this an answer? The driver didn't understand what Young Master was thinking, but according to his character, if he didn't care at all, he would definitely refuse directly.

"Miss, my Young Master asked me to give you a ride. Please get in the car." The driver pulled over to Alina and lowered the window.

Alina was surprised and looked at the passenger seat. It was empty.

Leo sat in the back.

"No, thanks. There is a bus ahead." Alina refused politely with a smile.

The driver took a look at Young Master through the rear-view mirror and found that he was expressionless. Then he replied, "Then we're leaving now. Take care of yourself."

"Okay, bye."

The car ran away in a flash. On the way to the bus stop, Alina twisted her neck and stretched her arms to relax herself.

When she arrived at the bus stop, the bus came in a few minutes. She got on the bus. When she was about to go inside, she saw an acquaintance sitting at the back.

"Sheffield, why do you go back so late?"

Taking a look at Alina, Sheffield answered briefly, "On duty."

"Did it take that long? It usually takes half an hour to finish it, doesn't it?" It was almost an hour and a half after school.

"Why do you care so much? It's my time, not yours!"

Clenching her fists in the pockets of her school uniform, Alina said in a kind voice, "I care about you. I don't mean anything else."

"You care about me. That's good. I have a lot of questions that I can't do. How about you do them for me now?" Then Sheffield went to look in his schoolbag.

"Let's do it after going back. Reading on the bus is bad for your eyes." He asked her to help him with the homework. She wouldn't be fooled!

"It's okay. I have a lot of questions to deal with today. Come early tonight."

Damn it! Alina cursed in her heart and smiled, "No problem."
