205 Class Representatives
The atmosphere at Jingyuan High School was heated after the students had seen the new notice stick on the notice board. When they came to school, nobody thought that the school would be conducting elections for the posts like Class Representative, class monitor and related posts.
There were many students that were interested in such posts. So, the candidates had been trying out different methods to appease their classmates.
This morning, a rich kid from class H offered treats and refreshments to his classmates just because he wanted to be elected as the class representative. It was a different story if he would be selected but the news of his attempts to bribe the classmates already reached the ears of the discipline committee.
“Han Zixin, are you interested in the post of class representative?” Ji Mao’er sweetly asked while An Xiulan mimicked behind the sweet friends.
“No, ” Han Zixin coolly shook his head. He was a boy of few words. He didn’t like using more than one word to reply.
“Then, can I apply for it?” Ji Mao’er asked.
“Mao’er, you want to contest for the post of Class Representative?” Demo asked. He liked pretty girls. How glad he was to see another pretty girl in their class.
Ji Mao’er glanced at Han Zixin who was frowning while looking at his phone and then turned to look at Demo before nodding her head. She wanted to be a class representative.
“Students, Ji Mao’er wants to be class representative, ” Demo shouted and everyone turned to look at them.
“Wasn’t it decided that She Yue will be CR?” Mona asked Demo.
“I can be a monitor while Mao’er can be a CR, ” Shen Yue replied. “I don’t have any problem with it anyway.”
Everyone looked at Shen Yue and then at Ji Mao’er and then nodded their heads.
“Alright, ” Yan Shan replied. “I want to contest for class volunteer.”
“No one wants to be a volunteer if you take the spot, ” Demo rolled his eyes.
“Aren’t we going to cast a vote?” Ji Mao’er asked with a frown. This was not how elections happened in her previous school. They were asked to cast a vote for each candidate and then it will be disclosed after the result who would be the new Class representative.
“We are just trying to avoid a situation, ” Song Ci replied. She shuddered at the memory of last year’s votes when everyone wanted to be CR but no one wanted to perform the duty.
“What situation?” Ji Mao’er asked. Before the students could reply to her, they heard a loud commotion outside the class.
“You bitch! You said you will not participate in the elections. Why did you participate? You know I wanted to be CR badly, ” The girl screamed as she pulled the braid of another girl. “I will beat you until you remember who I’m!”
“What the hell is happening here?” An Xiulan asked. “Why do they look familiar?”
“They are our seniors, ” Qiao Wei replied. “These two are the ultimate best friends. The envy of the senior class but look at them. Why would they ruin their friendship for the post of CR?”
“It’s not just the post of CR. Don’t you know the CRs and others will vote for the election of school president? They only wanted to be close to the handsome president, ” Mona scoffed. Then, she switched on fan girl mode and said, “I have to agree that senior Xin is very handsome. He is the male lead we read about in our stories.”
“This is the situation we are trying to avoid, ” Shen Yue told Ji Mao’er. “Isn’t it better to decide among ourselves who we want before casting the votes? This way, our classmates who are our friends will not be embarrassed.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Do you think the entire class can be friends with each other?” Ji Mao’er asked Shen Yue in hesitation.
“Of course, ” Shen Yue said. “I know what you are saying. When I came to this class, I was confused and bewildered for a while but as days passed, I realized how different this class is apart from every class. No one will scheme against you for marks or positions. It will take you time to adjust here but I can tell you that after a month, we will colour you in our world.”
“Thank you, Shen Yue, ” Ji Mao’er genuinely smiled. “You are really nice to me.” She took out some limited edition chocolates and gifts from her bag and said, “This is for you, girls. You guys treated me so well. So, I brought something with me to give you. You can take anything.”
An Xiulan, Mona, Qiao Wei, Song Ci and finally Shen Yue. All of them were looking at Ji Mao’er as if she was a ghost. She couldn’t understand what was wrong with these girls. However, in the end, the girls extended their hands to accept her gratitude.
All of them picked one chocolate each and didn’t touch other things.
“Thank you, Mao’er, ” The girls brightly smiled at all of them. They unwrapped the chocolate and broke a piece to taste. The chocolates were quite big and when the boys saw them enjoying the big bars of chocolates, they began breaking pieces of chocolate from the same bar as if they had done it so many times before.
Ji Mao’er looked at the expensive gifts in her hands and then at the happy smiles on their faces. She understood one thing today that she might have taken years to learn in her old school.
Some people never cared about benefits and friendship can be selfless too.
“Guys, please take care of your friend from now on, “Ji Mao’er gave a slight bow and they all began joking and kidding with her again. Why is it that she only entered this class yesterday but she felt as if she had already belonged here?
“Mao’er, we swear on the delicious chocolate that we will take care of you until the day we forget the taste of this chocolate, “A boy said and the entire class burst into a fit of laughter.
Meanwhile, in the Class Eleven A, Lu Xuan was standing for the post of class Representative while Song Xueyun was elected as the class monitor.
Of course, there were people who were against him but it was open and direct elections and no one could show their distaste and still vote for that person. The reason he participated was just to defeat Peng Cheng who once made his sister cry.
No one got to call his sister names and get away with it. He was a petty person after all who held grudges.
“Lu Xuan’s supporters stand up, “The headteacher announced.
Lu Xuan looked at the reluctant faces of the students but then he saw Gu Shangyan and Song Xueyun standing up. Once Song Xueyun stood up Li Sicheng stood up to vote for Lu Xuan too even though he didn’t like the delinquent boy that much. When the other students saw the cream layer of the class voting for Lu Xuan, they began standing up too. Song Xueyun, Gu Shangyan and Li Sicheng had marks higher than 99% in the last grade’s examination.
How could a student dare to offend the topper who could refuse to share notes anytime?
There were some students in class Eleven A who liked An Xiulan a lot and ever since it was revealed that Lu Xuan was her doting twin, he had a different fan following.
In the end, he won by two votes.
“Everyone, clap for your new class representative, ” The headteacher announced.
Lu Xuan stood straight and proud while the entire class clapped for him. There was a hint of a smile on his face as he beheld the students clapping for him. A thought entered his head as he realized that he didn’t want to leave this class of toppers. He enjoyed the feeling of being at the top. How great it is to stand on top and look down on everyone else.
Gu Shangyan smirked as he gazed at the look of pride in Lu Xuan’s eyes. He fired the right arrow. He put the idea of being a CR in Lu Xuan’s head. He pushed the right buttons and made the boy contest the election.
Lu Xuan loved being the one to control power. If he wanted to continue being the CR, he had to stay in Class Eleven A and to stay in this car, he had to improve his score.
Gu Shangyan never felt eviler than this moment.
“Thank you, everyone, if you face any problem, you can always approach me, “Lu Xuan said with an evil smile.
The class shuddered and averted their gazes off his face. How dare they approach this evil man? They looked at the ice queen and felt their hearts getting warmer. The cold and unapproachable Song Xueyun was a better idea. They would just get her help if they ever faced any problems.
