Chapter 312 - Jealousy And Bitterness
Jade: "..."
Nyka: "..."
Emma: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone except the Mathematics professor was thinking of the same thing.
'What?! Seriously, is that lovely student Sophia, the nerdy classmates of ours? How did this happen?'
They were all utterly astounded. The shock and disbelief were written all over their faces as they watched Sophia who was leisurely sitting in the back row.
Sophia could see the stunned expression of her classmates. She tried her best to hold her laughter. Seeing their expression was priceless.
For some unknown reason, she felt so good getting a genuine compliment about her new looks from their professor.
Sophia decided to follow Zhen-Zhen's and Tristan's advice. She continued to change her style and maintain her transformation look. It somehow helped her boost her confidence.
She was not wearing her thick eyeglasses today, but her contact lens. She was wearing her usual uniform but her vibe changed. Unlike before, she dolled up today before coming to school. She was satisfied with her current appearance.
Jade and her friends couldn't believe what they were seeing right now. Sophia turned into a beautiful woman in just one day. Did she change her appearance because she went on a date with Marcus?
They were still eyeing Sophia when they heard the murmuring of their classmates.
"Wow, for the last three years this is the first time our genius classmate shows us her true beauty." One guy couldn't help but praise Sophia.
Another man also commented, "Wow, she's not only brainy and smart… she is pretty too. A perfect combination of beauty and brain!"
"Oh hell, she's a cutie. Who would have thought she was hiding her beauty with those thick eyeglasses? I take back my words. I misjudged her. I think she's my crush now!"
Sophia was getting lots of attention, attracting their male classmates because of her charm. They were still in awe, seeing Sophia's transformation.
Jade, Emma, and Nyka were not happy about this. They felt like the spotlight was taken from them. Sophia was getting lots of compliments and admiration from their classmates.
They couldn't help but feel jealous and threatened. They had to admit that Sophia's new look was really likable. She's simply pretty. Her intelligence added to the point as well.
"Damn! She really did a makeover for Marcus? She's really in love with your brother? I can't believe it. She is really thinking that by changing her appearance Marcus will fall for her. So ambitious," Emma made a side comment, ridiculing Sophia.
"Well, let her dream on. That will never happen. She's still the ugly nerdy boring girl in my eyes. Besides, even if she transformed her look she can't match up Athena's beauty. Marcus has his eyes only for Athena," Nyka also mumbled, giving Sophia a mocking look.
Jade who was very silent in her seat didn't know how and what to feel about this.
'Did my brother see Sophia like this? Was this the reason why he refused to talk? Don't tell me he was charmed by Sophia after he went on a date with her last Saturday?' Jade marveled at that thought.
"I don't know but I have a bad feeling about this. What if my brother suddenly changed his mind and he will call the bet off?" Jade shared her thoughts with her friends.
"Hmm, why do you think so? You are just overthinking, Jade," Nyka said, frowning at Jade.
"I expected him to complain to me last Saturday and be upset for going on a date with Sophia but I didn't hear anything from him. He even ignored me when I started asking him about the details regarding his date."
"Don't jump to a conclusion, girls. Let's see what Marcus will do during the Acquaintance party. Besides, he never mentioned canceling the bet with his friends. I think the bet is still on," Emma reassured them.
"But to make sure, just don't let Marcus know about the video recording. We and his friends shall handle this without his knowledge," Emma added as she suggested to hide their plan from Marcus.
"Okay, let's do that. I am not sure if Marcus will agree once he learns about our plan. So we have to follow your suggestion," Jade agreed with Emma's idea.
Then the three ladies glanced in Sophia's direction one last time.
"Hmm, I am excited to see Sophia's reaction once she learns that Marcus is just toying with her feelings. Too bad, she even changed her look just to impress Marcus." A wicked smile appeared on Nyka's face.
She didn't know why but after seeing Sophia today, she had the urge to make her suffer emotionally. She couldn't accept the fact that she's not only a genius but a beauty as well.
There was a glint of envy in their eyes while looking at Sophia.
"Beauty and brain my ass?! She will just be toyed by the person she likes. Not worth it," Nyka mumbled, bitterness could be heard in her voice.
Soon, their professor started his discussion. Everyone shifted their attention from Sophia back to their strict professor.
After their first class this morning, Sophia was surrounded immediately by her classmates who seldom approached her before, especially the hunks of their classes.
They started to engage in a conversation with her, asking her if she could help them with their Mathematics homework. They used that alibi so that they could talk to her.
Sophia felt a little bit uncomfortable because this was the first time they approached her, being persistent to get her attention. But Sophia was not a naive girl. She knew their true motives. Some guys wanted to hit on her right away.
She couldn't believe that her classmates would change their impressions of her just because she changed her look. Truly, other people were only focusing on the outside appearance, not the inner beauty of a person. She felt disappointed by that sad truth.
After a few attempts of trying to escape from them, Sophia succeeded by making some excuses.
Jade, Emma, and Nyka were about to approach her when suddenly someone came. Marcus came to see Sophia and asked her to have snacks with him today.
