362: Nomination for Class Representatives

Nomination for Class Representatives

~ Freshmen Class A Room ~1

After Zhen-Zhen's first class in the afternoon, their class president gathered everyone for a short meeting.

"Hello, everyone. As you all know, there will be a selection for the Campus Belle and Campus Idol next week. This was a tradition every year wherein the students on the whole campus will choose the most handsome man and the prettiest woman who will represent our School in every inter-campus activity and external events." The President informed everyone.

"Every class will have representatives, one boy, and one girl to join in the Selection Process. Now, we will choose who will be our representatives for this class. That's the main agenda of our meeting today. Now the table is now open for the nomination." The President finished his speech, gazing at everyone.

One girl raised her hand and nominated someone from the male students. As usual, the one she chose was the most handsome guy in class. After that, no one dared to nominate someone else.

The Class President had no choice but to close the nomination. It seemed that the class already agreed on choosing him as their representative for the male category.

Soon, the Class President opened the nomination for the Campus Belle representative. This time the guy who was chosen to be the male representative of that class raised his hand to nominate someone.

"Mr. President, I nominate Alicia!" That guy had a secret crush on Alicia.

Betsy immediately teased Alicia when she was nominated, though they already expected this to happen, she was still happy that her friend was nominated. It was obvious that the guy was trying to curry favor with Alicia, that's why he was the first one who nominated her.

Alicia just smiled sweetly at the male representative who nominated her. The guy rejoiced inwardly seeing her smile. Everyone thought no one would nominate again because they already expected that Alicia would be chosen.

But to their surprise, the Class President called someone when he saw her raising her hand.

"Yes, Miss Meyer, who do you wanna nominate?" The Class President asked Zhen-Zhen.

Alicia and Betsy reflexively turned in her direction when they heard her name being called by the President.

"Eh, Why did Lillie raise her hand? Does it mean she wants another person to represent our class instead of you? I am curious who she is picking this time." Betsy whispered on Alicia.

Alicia didn't say a word. She just watched Zhen-Zhen with a sharp look in her eyes while waiting for her to speak up.

Zhen-Zhen's lips curled up into a vibrant smile and stood up with confidence when the President called her.

"Mr. President, I nominate myself to be our class representative for the Campus Belle's Selection," Zhen-Zhen said to them with clarity and confidence.

The room was engulfed with complete silence after Zhen-Zhen spoke up those words.

Class President: "..."

Alicia: "..."

Betsy: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Several seconds had passed but no one spoke up among the class. They were still trying to absorb what Zhen-Zhen had just said to them. They were looking at her with utter disbelief.

Her last words kept replaying on their minds.

[ "I nominate myself… I nominate myself… I nominate myself… ]

[ "I nominate myself to be our class representative for the Campus Belle's Selection." ]

After a few seconds, the deafening silence was replaced by murmuring sounds.

"Eh, what did she say?"

"Wait, did I hear it right?"

"Am I the only one imagining things here? Did she say… who again?"

The Class President asked again Lillie after he recovered from his stupor.

"Miss Meyer, can you repeat it again? Who are you nominating?" The Class President smiled sheepishly while scratching the back of his head.

"I, Mr. President, nominate myself," Zhen-Zhen said, loud and clear.

Everyone gasped in surprise. They definitely heard her words correctly.

"Oh my gosh! It's really true. She nominated her own self!"

"Lillie Meyer just nominated herself!!"

"Whoah, can she feel no shame at all?"

"Pfft… what a bold girl?! Does she think of herself beautiful?"

"Hahahaha, this is the most ridiculous joke I heard today."

Everyone started laughing while looking at Zhen-Zhen with disbelief and amusement. Betsy and Alicia were also trying to control themselves from laughing out loud. They didn't want to offend Zhen-Zhen because they were trying to get close to her because of Tristan.

The Class President also didn't know how he would react and respond to that. As president, he should remain neutral. But that nomination was really unexpected, especially coming from Lillie Meyer who always remained humble and kind towards others.

One of their classmates decided to talk to Zhen-Zhen. "Lillie, are you serious? This contest is not a joke."

"No, I'm not joking. I'm serious about this. That's why I nominate myself." Zhen-Zhen said matter-of-factly.

Everyone fell silent once again after hearing her response. 

'Damn, she's so persistent!' Hahahahaha. So hilarious.'

Another student spoke to her again. " Do you want our class to become a laughingstock of other classes?"

"What made you think that you can stand a chance against the other beauties on this Campus? Do you think you are more qualified than Alicia? What a joke!" The man who nominated Alicia also expressed his displeasure against Zhen-Zhen.

Zhen-Zhen just gave them an innocent look, not minding their hurtful words and insults directed at her.

"I will definitely win this. Our class will not become a laughing stock." Zhen-Zhen reassured them with so much certainty in her voice.

The Zhen-Zhen turned to the man who just insulted her. "How about you? Do you think you can stand a chance against the other handsome men on the Campus such as Marcu and the reigning Campus Idol?"

Zhen-Zhen flashed her taunting smile and continued, "Me? I am a hundred percent confident that I can stand a chance against them."

Zhen-Zhen said that with overbearing confidence. Others didn't know why but she looked so cool after saying those words, matched with her bright confident smile.

The man who just insulted her was rendered speechless.

'Damn! I think this woman just lost her mind. She's crazy.' He complained inwardly.
