Chapter 179
Studying was already exhausting enough; who had the energy to participate in a speech competition?
Everyone kept their heads down, silent.
“Since everyone is being so modest and not willing to sign up voluntarily, I’ll have to make the call.”
“Selene, Flora, May, Lucinda, Kaylee…” Keaton chose those whose Spanish grades were relatively good in class.
“Selene, you’ll be the team leader, responsible for supervising the team members and assigning tasks”
Although Selene was new, she was already well–known, possessing a celebrity effect. Having her as the tearn leader wouldn’t cause any disputes, and she could command respect.
After finishing his announcement, Keaton left.
Besides those participating in the Spanish speech competition, the other students of Class Z quickly slipped away.
“May, Kaylee, you two are in charge of drafting the script. I need a preliminary draft by tomorrow afternoon at the latest so I can review and make revisions.”
“Ah? Tomorrow afternoon? That seems a bit rushed; we might get it done in time.” May couldn’t help but speak up.
Kaylee nodded in agreement.
“I’m not asking for a final draft. Just a rough one will do. We’re short on time, and since we’re competing, we need to do our best, even if it means getting tired for a few days.” Selene’s tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt.
Without paying any more attention to Kaylee and the others, she continued, “Lucinda and Davina, you two are responsible for researching online…”
Selene indeed had leadership skills, assigning everyone’s tasks efficiently.
“My oral skills are somewhat better than yours, so I’ll take care of the presentation on stage.”
“As for Flora…” But when it came to Flora, she hesitated for a moment. “You just need to organize everyone’s work.”
Her tone revealed a hint of disdain, as if Flora was a burden. A trace of contempt flickered through Selene’s lowered eyes.
Yvonne had said that Flora was a poor student. She probably couldn’t even translate a complete Spanish sentence in the Spanish speech competition.
Flora didn’t seem to mind. She was quite laid–back about these things. Whatever task was assigned to her, she would just do it
Discussing the Spanish speech competition had taken up some time, so it was somewhat late when Flora left school.
Connor’s car was still parked in the usual spot. Flora slumped into the car, feeling tired.
Connor noticed her lackluster appearance, and thought she had encountered something unpleasant at school.
“Feeling down?”
“No.” mFlora pinched her temples. “Just got a headache from all the noise.”
She couldn’t quite understand Selene, who actually enjoyed all the attention.
“Who dared to annoy you?” Connor let her lie on his lap and began to massage her.
“A new transfer student named Selene came to our class. She’s from Maple Grove and is pretty famous.”
Flora closed her eyes, enjoying Connor’s massage. “A bit higher. You can apply more pressure.”
When Connor heard the name, Selene, his hand paused for a moment.
He wondered why she would come to Cedarvale, but he quickly dismissed the thought and continued to massage Flora.
