199 Hello, Im An Xiulan-- The last scorer
An Xiulan looked at everyone and walked to the stage with a smile on her face. She would be lying if she said she was not overwhelmed. If she wasn’t trained for pageants, she would have sobbed like a baby.
As she stood on the podium, she bowed to the principal and teachers. ” I want to thank my teachers for making me capable of achieving great things. If not for them, I wouldn’t even be able to have courage to speak on the stage.”
The teachers gave her blessings. Who wouldn’t like a humble child?
“Would you like to give a message to your juniors and seniors?” The principal asked.
“Can I?” An Xiulan blinked her big eyes.
“Of course, you can. They all have been waiting to hear something from you, ” The principal said as he took a step back and let her speak on the microphone.
“Hello everyone, I’m An Xiulan, ” She said on the microphone. “I just want to say that I’m not as amazing as people make me sound on the internet. I’m just an awkward teenager like all of you trying to act like I know everything. You know the phrase, fake it till make it? I’m a student of Class Eleven K. I scored the lowest marks in last years entrance test and had been the last scorer of the school all year. So, yes, I’m not a goddess who knows everything. I’m a little bad at studies but I think I improved a lot in the course of the year.”
Gu Shangyam snorted. “Little? She is putting the word little to shame.”
Lu Xuan laughed. “She is your student after all. You know her better than anyone.”
“So, next time if someone calls you good for nothing, just bring them to me, ” An Xiulan said with a shrug. “I will show them that a good for nothing can also achieve great things by working hard in the field we are good in. Let’s be kind to each other and ourselves. Thank you.”
The students were laughing and smiling after her little speech. The number of fans and friends that she earned on the first day were huge.
“We have another announcement before students go to classes, ” The discipline teacher said on the microphone. “We understand that this is the era of technology and students couldn’t stay away from their phones. However, we are known for keeping the privacy of our students. This year, we have three public figure students. The students are barred from bringing their phones to school. We sent the messages to your parents. Anyone who had brought the phone with them, please submit them to me and you can take it back at the end of the school.”
Although students were barred from bringing mobile phones, the school said nothing about digital watches that everyone was using these days to call and send messages. It was the loophole that the students had found and children at this age were genius at finding loopholes after all.
“Let’s welcome two more new students to Class Eleven, ” The discipline teacher announced. “Lu Mingze and Ji Mao’er.”
The crowd became excited all of a sudden. They saw their favourite idol Mochi coming on the stage with a pretty girl. Mochi was very famous among teenagers. He had a lot of hit songs under his belt.
Ji Mao’er participated in Miss Sunshine and after that she appeared in two music videos. She had been modelling for some brands. She had been quite famous in the modelling industry.
“Why is your best friend here?” Gu Shangyan asked Lu Xuan.
“I’m right here, ” Wang Yuxi growled. “Don’t look at that sorry face of a boy.”
“Yuxi, are you jealous?” Gu Shangyan asked, amused. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Isn’t it enough that I’m sharing my best friend with you?” Wang Yuxi grumbled. “I’m very protective and possessive of my best friend. That sorry face runs after my best friend calling him buddy buddy like broken record. What do you expect me to be?”
“Calm down, ” Lu Xuan sighed. “He is not my best friend. He is just my self proclaimed childhood friend who shares the same surname as me.”
Wang Yuxi huffed and puffed.
“I didn’t know you had this side, ” Gu Shangyan’s cold face looked amused. “By the way, Lu Xuan and I are not best friends. We are brothers.”
“Exactly, ” Lu Xuan wrapped his arm around Gu Shangyan’s shoulder.
“Is it less than you stay in the same house yet stuck to each other all the time, ” Wang Yuxi grumbled. “Lu Xuan, I can forgive you for breaking my heart if you agree to take me as your brother-in-law.”
Lu Xuan kicked Wang Yuxi’s ass. “Motherf*cker, my sister is off-limits. If anyone dared to even look.at her, I’m gonna cut their heads off.”
The new students shuddered. “Who is this boy? Why is he so violent?”
“He is Lu Xuan, the tyrant of Jingyuan High. Just don’t talk to An Xiulan and Song Xueyun of class eleven and you will be fine, ” A senior student patted the shoulder of the newcomer.
“Are you forgetting the time when Lu Xuan got violent in the art exhibition last year because a boy from another school called Genius Gu eternal second, ” A girl whispered.
“I heard that boy got admission in Junior year, ” Another student whispered. “He almost scored perfect scores in the entrance. He is the next Han Nanxian wannabe. Do you think he will be better than Han Nanxian, the overrated God Han?”
“You talk about Han Nanxian in that disrespectful tone again and I will make sure that you will not get a helping hand from the entire class Eleven, ” Song Xueyun said as she stood before the gossiping girls.
“We were just talking about the new topper of Class 11 A, ” The girl said, lowering her head.
“Gu Shangyan scored 99.8% in class Ten’s final exam. Mine were 99.6%. And what were his?” Song Xueyun cocked her brow.
“99.5%, ” The girl muttered.
“Yes, isn’t there a difference?” Song Xueyun said. “When you are on the top, even 0.01 matters a lot. Again, never call Han Nanxian overrated if you can’t achieve what he did.”
