Chapter 7: Classroom President No More

It's finally Wednesday. We're going to present our science project. I've been preparing for this my entire life. Of course, it's obvious non of the boys would volunteer to explain the process of making our model because they're out of words when talking in front. Just like me, before. But now, I'm ready.

The bell rang, and we sat down on our chairs and prepared ourselves. Till sir John arrived.

"Okay, everyone, prepare yourselves. Today's the day you're going to present your 'Human digestive system' model. So, presenters from every group, please be ready. I don't want to hear nonsensical words from your own mouth, I want to hear something intriguing and ear- piquing from your introduction. Do not only share your group struggles upon making the project, but also share to us the importance of working together as group mates and how friendship was built during the process. And also don't forget to introduce the digestive system parts and functions. That's all I want to hear thank you. Now, first presenter, please occupy the front."

The very first person to present is Rey. Our 'most likely to be nominated class president this coming classroom election'. The guy everyone admires not only for his beauty but also his own intelligence. He's a walking dictionary. He showed off his talent and shared his wisdom towards us since the very first day. He's just so confident and he never lies to his true gender. Despite his unmanly flaws, everyone still admires him because of his potential and abilities.

I wish I could be like him someday. I wish I could go back to the days where I was seen, recognized, noticed by everyone. But now, it seems almost too impossible to reach that goal. There's just too many people to be payed attention to, and I don't think I'd be included.

"Good morning everyone! Good morning sir" Rey started with a smile. "This is our Human Digestive System model" he pointed towards the person holding it.

They created a 3D model of the digestive system. Half of the body's been created, without the head and below the hips.

I was fascinated by their creation. Such intelligent with creative mindsets Rey's group has.

"We did not only experienced struggle by making this, but we've also had fun creating this masterpiece." He continued. "Although my group mates and I are already friends before this project. We've built more and more trust to each other, and we've got the capacity to embody our ideas together."

Of course. Majority of the students were already his friends now, some close enough to be his best friends. Of course he'd managed to make more friends, because, like I said, he's got beauty and brain. And that's what I think I probably lack this days...

It's simple to get someone their attention, all you had to do is, show your greatest potential, and soon your house will be flooded with money, well, not literally.

Rey kept on discussing about the parts and functions of the system. He talks big. People think of him highly because he's being highly. I used to be that kind of person before.

Every presenters were done presenting their models.

"Your turn Ashley" I heard sir John said from behind. So, he already know my name? Huh.....

I didn't look at his direction. I stood up instead.

"You can do it Ashley, I have strong faith in you" I heard Armin said.

I turned to the boys. Kryans smiled his insane smile. Harold gave both thumbs up. I smile, despite feeling nervous.

'Remember, this is your first oral recitation in front of your science teacher and adviser. Don't let yourself down. And don't disappoint the public eye.'
