"Tsk…" The green hair girl clicked her tounges when she sees both of us. Without even saying anything, she slams the door closed and bumps me on her way out before walking away.
Her action is unexpected, and the drink in my hand slipped from my hand.
"Uf?" I can't help but staggers back a step before stabilizing myself. I frown while looking at her walking away. That bump is totally intentional. I rub my shoulder a few times as I stare at her disappearing back. At the same time, I didn't forget to use the monocle to check her information.

"??" I frown when I see her information. Only 3 words appeared. 'Did it broke?'.
"What's her problem!!??" Caroline finally speaks. "Ava! Are you okay? Are you hurt anyway?" Caroline hurriedly holds my shoulder and rub it worriedly.
"I'm okay. It just a small bump." I give her a reassuring smile before picking up my spilled drink on the floor. 'What a waste…" I let out a sigh. "There are still half, and it spilled in front of the student's council room." I stare at the clean and spotless hallway in front of the room. "The color of cappuccino is obvious."
"Do we have to clean it?" Caroline asked worriedly while looking at me.
I frown because I also don't know what to do. Both of us are freshmen. Most of the students had gone home. We don't know the direction to the cleaner's room. 'Should I ask Becca if they have a mop in the students' council room?' I was about to tell Caroline my thought when the door was opened again from inside the room.
This time, it is Becca. Becca looks at me and Caroline then, she stares at the spilled drink on the floor. After that, she looked in the direction the green-haired girl left before a frown appeared on her face.
"Both of you come in first. I will ask the cleaner to clean it…" Becca just sighs before walking back inside.
I exchanged glances with Caroline before following Becca inside and not forgetting to close the door.
When both of us are inside, I pull Caroline to continue following Becca when I realized she is immersing herself in appreciating the intricate design of the students' council room.
"Don't daydream..." I remind her. She gives me a shy smile when she got caught. I smile back at her. We both walk hand in hand until I realized that Becca is staring at our hands.
I was about to ask her what's wrong but, she suddenly shakes her head and sighs before continue to walk into one of the rooms.
"Follow me, and we'll talk inside."
The room Becca walks in has a sign that said Vice President's room. Other rooms wrote President's room and a meeting room. I believe the students' council room is as big as two classrooms combined together.
When the three of us are inside the Vice President's room, I hear Caroline let out a whisper.
"So wide!"
I agree with her thought. The vice president's room looks like an office for a big boss in a company. There are two long couches in front of her desk and a rectangular coffee table in the middle. Behind her desk is a glass window, and we can see the school hall from here. I realize that there's a door almost hidden by the cupboard at the corner of the room. Maybe it's a room for rest.
I stare at Caroline as she looks around the room with eyes wide. She looks cute and funny. I can't help but let out a sigh then smiles at her.
"Ehem!"
Becca's cough pulls back my attention to reality. I realize that Becca is staring at me again. It's the same expression from that time in the infirmary.
"Both of you can sit." Becca points toward the couch in front of us. Caroline seems nervous so, I squeeze her hand gently before pulling her to sit beside me.
Right after we sit on the couch, Becca asked us a question.
"Do you know why I call both of you here?" she asked as she sits on the couch in front of us.
Caroline nods but, when she sees me shaking my head, she also shakes her head.
Becca raises one of her brows when she sees Caroline's movement. She crosses her arm while leaning on the couch.
"I'm sure that you know that Caroline is the first-year representative for this year. Every year, students like her will receive an offer to join the student council. No one has ever rejected the offer."
"But, this year are different." Becca looks at Caroline. " This is the first time in many years that a commoner will join the student's council." Then she tilted her head as she keeps staring at Caroline without any expression. " I will be frank. I recommend you to reject the offer to join the student's council."
I also look at Caroline right now. Caroline now is looking at her feet with her palms clenched. She is feeling distressed. I know this is going to happen. This is actually a scene in the novel. Both Caroline and Becca suppose to become enemies after this.
From the way Becca asked Caroline to reject the offer, it makes her look like she looks down on the commoner. This misunderstanding causes Caroline to feel sad. But, on Becca's side, she feels humiliated because of-
"Don't you think you are a little too much?" A familiar male voice comes from the door.
'Che Vincent.'
There is a cold atmosphere in the vice president's office. Becca and the male lead are staring at each other. They don't look like they get along at all. By looking at Becca's face, I know that she is not happy with the male lead's attitude. Clearly, she doesn't love the male lead.
"Sigh…" I think I've got the gist of how the story in the novel works.
'The novel is taken from the female lead's understanding.' I look at Caroline's face. 'She is kinda dumb, I admit. But, she doesn't mean any harm.'
"Rebecca! How dare you abusing your power on someone else!" He walks towards us, focusing on Becca with a cold face.
