Chapter 169 - The Attention Stealer
Linda and Anne then walked together back to the classroom because Professor Simon's lecture was about to start. Some students who passed by them were very surprised when they saw the figure of the new idol girl on campus had her hair cut short. Seeing the shocked expressions of the students, Anne just smiled faintly without a sound as did Linda. She didn't expect that the people on campus would react like that.
"I'm sure the news about you cutting your hair this short will soon spread all over the campus, Anne, believe me." Linda whispered softly as she walked with Anne into the classroom.
"No way, who am I? Don't make it up, Linda," replied Anne modestly.
"Let's make a bet," Linda shouted loudly.
Anne laughed in amusement at Linda's words. They both then quickened their footsteps towards the classroom because Professor Simon was already seen walking towards the classroom. When Anne entered the classroom, all the students who previously did not notice Anne cutting her hair looked very surprised when they saw Anne entered the classroom. Even Vince opened his mouth wide when he saw Anne's appearance. Only Gabriella and her girls who were annoyed with Anne, but not a single word came out of their lips.
"See, you're paying attention, right?" Linda whispered softly as she sat beside Anne.
"Don't make a fuss, Professor Simon is in," said Anne quickly changing the subject.
Linda just stuck out her tongue in response to Anne's words. Not long after, the lecture began. All the students then focused on the explanation from Professor Simon, because next week was the final semester exam. During the lesson, Linda looked very focused. Because Professor Simon's course was one of her weak courses, seeing Linda focused on it made Anne smile. She was happy because her friend could focus on the lesson given by the lecturer. Two hours passed quickly. The students seemed to really pay close attention to Professor Simon's explanation, even Gabriella, who was usually busy with herself, this time, was also seemed focused.
"Cheer up, children, this week is your last week before next week's exams. Don't take one course lightly, so I hope you all pay attention to the lessons given by other lecturers and give your best in next week's exam," said Professor Simon, slowly closed his lesson.
"Yes Professor." All students answered in unison.
"Okay, then our lesson ends here and keep the spirit up to fight for your exams. Remember not to disappoint anyone. Your struggle as a student will begin during the exam later, I hope all students in this class get the best results," added Professor Simon again, while reaching for his laptop off the table.
"Thank you for today, Professor," answered all the students again.
Professor Simon then left the fashion design classroom to return to the lecturer room. With the end of Professor Simon's course, the additional lesson for today ended. They still had two more days of extra courses before fighting for the final exams.
"Oh God, there are still two more days of our struggle."
"I don't think I can stand it, it's only been a day but my head is already hurt."
"Yeah you're right, I didn't even use skincare this morning because I was chasing time to get to campus."
Some students seemed to be complaining about what they had been through today, studying from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon was really tiring. Gabriella, who was just silent when she heard the complaints of her friends, suddenly came across a news that she just got yesterday about Anne.
"It is indeed very tiring if we have struggled like this, but there is one student who easily gets what she wants. Successfully approaching a young entrepreneur then she also approached Mr. Ganke, so that she could work at Ganke Inc production through the back door. Only a professional can do it," said Gabriella suddenly insinuating to Anne, who had been picked up by Aaron and the gossip about Anne who had been recruited by Ganke Inc Production.
"What do you mean, Ella?" asked a French male student curiously.
"Who has been accepted at Ganke Inc Production? Didn't Professor Gilbert say that he was just going to make a selection, so why suddenly someone was already got accepted? That's very strange," added another student.
"Just ask Marianne, the star of this campus. Don't you know everything clearly, Anne? If you know how to get into the company, please share the tips with all of us here, so we can follow your footsteps into Ganke Inc Production instantly," said Gabriella directly to Anne.
Hearing Gabriella's words, all the students in the classroom immediately turned to Anne, who was still sitting in her chair with Linda.
"Watch your words, Ella, who do you think has entered the Ganke Inc Production company through the back door like that? If you make accusations like that, I can sue you and report you to the rectorate for ruining Anne's good name," said Linda curtly, she didn't accept Gabriella's accusation to Anne.
"Well, I'm not accusing anyone, I'm just saying that if you're curious about how to get into the German animation company, it's better to just ask Anne. I only said that, then which part is me accusing her, Linda?"
"Don't act Ella, your acting is bad. From what you said earlier, it was clear that you were insinuating on Anne, everyone here already knows where your words were leading to. So don't act like a fool, lest there will be no one who can tease the students in the morning," answered Linda quickly turning things around.
Bang!
"What are you saying!!!" Gabriella screamed loudly after banging her desk. She didn't like what Linda said that she was teasing the students.
Linda laughed out loud at Gabriella's words. She didn't seem afraid at all of Gabriella who was angry.
"Why are you angry, Ella? I didn't mention your name, why are you angry? Do you feel like a teaser?" Linda asked with a triumphant smile. Being raised on a farm made Linda a tough girl who was not afraid of anyone, especially a girl like Gabriella, who was a spoiled brat.
"Linda, stop," said Anne softly as she tugged at Linda's sleeve. Anne did not like to see Linda fighting with Gabriella.
"Be quiet, Anne, this is fun," Linda mumbled softly to Anne, who asked her to stop what she was doing.
Hearing Linda's words made Gabriella really angry. She even kicked the chair in front of her and made everyone shocked, including Anne who was standing next to Linda.
"Belinda, quickly apologize to me or I'll make you regret it," Gabriella shouted furiously.
"Why am I apologizing to you? Where did I go wrong?" Linda asked quietly without fear as she folded her arms across her chest challenging Gabriella.
"Belinda, you..."
"Sorry, forgive us Ella," said Anne quickly cutting Gabriella's words.
Hearing Anne apologized, Gabriella immediately turned to Anne with a smile full of pride.
"What, I don't hear what you're saying, Anne," Gabriella replied curtly.
"On behalf of Linda, I apologize for offending you, Gabriella," said Anne, repeating her previous words.
"Anne, you don't have to..."
"Hahahaha it's good that you are smart, Anne. No wonder you can seduce Aaron Sean Connery," Gabriella said loudly as she mocked Anne openly by mentioning Aaron's name.
The mention of Aaron again by Gabriella made Anne narrowed her eyes with a smile, Anne then walked slowly towards Gabriella without any fear. When she was in front of Gabriella, Anne then lowered her gaze slightly because Gabriella was slightly shorter than her. When she looked down, Anne whispered softly, "If I can seduce Aaron Sean Connery, you should be able to do it too, Gabriella, aren't you the most popular girl on campus?"
Thump!
Gabriella's face immediately turned red when she heard Anne's words. Her breath was panting because she was so angry with Anne. Meanwhile, Anne, who was already standing straight, smiled sweetly at Gabriella without any guilt. Before long, Anne then walked out of the classroom casually followed by Linda.
When Anne left, several other students also left, including Vince and his bookworm friends.
"Aarrggghh Marianne! You're looking for trouble with me, Marianne," Gabriella screamed loudly when Anne had left the classroom.
"Don't call me Gabriella if I can't teach you a lesson," added Gabriella, full of vengeance.
