Vivian could not believe her eyes because no one had registered for all the sports events. She thought
the reason Nicole did that was to steal the limelight.
“What’s this?! You’re proud because you’ve registered for all the events?
“You’re from the countryside. I’m afraid that you don’t know how cruel sports can be. Don’t pretend to
be sick and withdraw from the competition when the time comes!” Vivian threw the registration form at
the people beside her. She then left the classroom.
“Why is she always acting this way? She doesn’t have a sense of collective honor. Hope she doesn’t
quit the competition when the time comes! She had never participated in any competition before. And
yet, she registered for four events. She overextended herself…” June could not stand Vivian’s mad
face.
Gary was watching Nicole from behind. He walked toward her after Vivian left. “Nicole, I want to make
changes to the registration form.”
“The registration form is over there. Make the changes on your own.”
“If anyone of you wants to make changes to the registration form, do it before noon. I’ll submit the form
in the afternoon,” Nicole said to her classmates. She did not bother Vivian, who was yelling.
“We won’t make changes. We’d given it a deep thought for a night!”
“Gary. Why did you register for all the events?” This is just a sports meeting. You don’t have to do this.”
Jack stared at Gary in surprise.
“That’s right. Gary, we’re just making up the numbers, right? Why are you being so serious about it?”
Wayne scratched his head as he wondered.
Gary glanced at Jack and Wayne as they tried to dissuade him. He then picked up a pen to register for
all the sports events for them as well.
“Don’t do that, Gary. Are you trying to kill us?!” Jack and Wayne saw the checkmarks behind their
names. They were anxious to the point that they almost cried.
“Don’t cross them out.” Gary glared at them. He then took the registration form and went back to his
seat.
Time passed quickly in the morning, as usual. It was lunch hour in a blink of an eye. Nicole stood up
and said to her classmates, “Anyone who wants to make changes to the sports day events registration
form, do it now. If not, I’ll submit the form.”
She had a look around. Nobody spoke.
“Where’s the form?” Nicole asked.
“It’s with me.” Gary took the registration form as he walked toward Nicole.
“Give it to me.” Nicole reached for the form.
Gary took a step back. He did not give the form to her. “I’m going to the student council too. Let’s walk
together.”
“It’s alright. I’m going for lunch now. You go ahead.” Nicole took the registration form from Gary. She
then turned around and left.
Gary’s blood was boiling as he looked at Nicole’s back. ‘I don’t even deserve to walk with her now?’
“Gary, do you want to go for lunch now?” Jack reminded him softly. “All you care about is food. You’re
useless!” Gary scolded Jack ridiculously. Jack felt wronged.
“Wayne, I didn’t do anything that upset Gary today, right? What’s wrong with him?”
“You didn’t know? Gary has been a changed man ever since the Johnston family’s party. I guess it’s
something to do with Nicole.”
“I see… Gary, wait up.” Jack chased after him.
Nicole submitted the registration form to the student council after lunch. She then went to the cafe
outside of her school.
Claus welcomed her immediately after she entered the cafe. “Ms. Riddle, Mr. Johnston will be here in a
minute.”
“I know.”
“Cappuccino?” Claus asked. Nicole showed him the “Okay” hand gesture. She then sat at her usual
table and took out her laptop.
After she logged in, she saw a job, “Information on the website was stolen. We need an expert to fix it
urgently”.
