'Should I just solve this directly? Oh well, I don't want to be branded as a bimbo.'
Serena pretended to think it through then slowly wrote on the board.
3x + 2 = 11
3x = 11 - 2
3x = 9
X = 9/3
X = 3
"Sir, did I do it right?" Serena asked, feigning uncertainty. Although this is easy for her, she has no desire to be labeled as a genius. That just means more expectations and responsibility.
"Good, very good! Did you study this subject before? Even some of the male students couldn't solve this question!" the teacher praised.
"I have read some books, but it should be credited to your brilliant teaching that I learned how to solve it, sir." Serena complimented. 'Well, there's nothing bad in being the teacher's pet. At least I will be able to get away with some things later. And although I don't like him that much, I can see his effort in teaching my classmates.'
"Alright Ms. Maxwell, please be seated" he said.
"wow Serena, I'm now seeing you with new eyes, I never thought you were this smart!" Via flattered.
"Ha! Sure, puts that Ms. Evans on her place." Milly suddenly stated.
"What did she do to you?" Serena raised her brow.
Serena and her friends.
Although there were still a lot of seats available in the canteen, there's nothing bad with them being friendly.
"Not at all. Please come join us." Serena responded with a smile.
The girls whose names were Cornelia, Lydia and Eloise, praised her to heavens. Serena can only smile and shake her head. They told her that she was very beautiful and smart, that she would be a great queen someday. Etc etc. What can she say? A lot of girls want to suck up to her.
In comparison to her popularity, she saw from the corner of her eye that Emily was sitting with just one girl. From the novel, that girl was portrayed as her best friend. Isabel Price was an insecure princess from Balamb who had a huge crush on Charlton. She met him during one of Emily's music rehearsals and she was instantly smitten. Well, who can blame her? Emily promised to help her, but nothing came out of it except for Charlton falling for Emily instead. Later, she and Emily will have a fall-out, with her saying that Emily was a fox. Since they were best friends, Isabel knew Emily's secrets and she will also be the one to divulge the lot of it. She will continuously and anonymously post on the bulletin board that Emily was nothing but a two-faced social-climbing gold-digging slut. She will also write about how she seduced the crown prince despite him having a fiancée. Emily knew who was doing these things, for who else will know the details of her secrets? But she can't tell anyone that it was Isabel. Not because they were best friends, but because if she did, it will be like an admittance of what was written about her. Besides, who will believe her? Isabel was known as a painfully shy girl who can't even hit a fly. Plus, no one can even think of her motive in doing those things to her. So, when everyone pointed at Serena and blamed her as the one who did those things, she can only silently shrug her shoulders.
Serena scowled recalling that part in the novel. Hopefully, that will not happen now. She didn't really think that the girls were necessarily evil, it's just that children at this age tend to act that way. She was also just like that when she was younger, hating on the other girls, thinking everyone is just plainly good or bad. But as she grew older, she also gained some maturity. Of course, if they were to do those things to her, or even attempt to mess with her, she would not take it laying down.
"Are you alright Serena? Is the food not to your liking?" Lydia, who invited her to taste her packed lunch asked worriedly.
Serena smiled at the girl. "Of course not, this is actually very good. I've never tasted anything like it before."
Lydia sighed in relief. "thank you. If you like, I can cook more for you."
"Thank you for your offer, but I can not possibly impose on your kindness. Besides, I'm also looking out on my diet, if you were to give me more, I'm afraid that I'll have the thought of you trying to ruin my figure!" Serena jested.
Lydia blushed and all the girls laughed.
After lunch, they returned to class.
