Diana gave Martin a glance and walked to her desk, taking out some paper and a pen from her bag.
Martin couldn't help but add another comment.
"Diana, have you realized that the most basic requirement for a student representative is to have good grades? Are you crazy?" Martin said, getting annoyed when Diana didn't respond.
Diana lazily tapped her pen on the desk, "I didn't do well on the exam because I didn't feel like it, unlike you, who just can't do it because of your limited intelligence."
Martin was infuriated by her arrogance.
He was about to retort, but the exam bell rang, and the proctor walked in with the test papers.
The words that were on the tip of Martin's tongue were swallowed back down.
He looked at Diana's back and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"Ha, what's with this college failure, trying to act so high and mighty!"
Like last time, Diana finished the questions half an hour before the deadline.
Since everything went smoothly this time, she didn't submit early.
She leaned on her desk, dozing off while waiting for the exam to end.
The invigilator had already fixed his gaze on her from the podium.
The test this time was a bit difficult, and the proctor was a little curious when he saw Diana frantically writing.
He wondered if Diana had gone for summer remedial classes...
The thought had just occurred to him when he saw her head tilting and dozing off.
The invigilator covered his face in disbelief.
He was going crazy; he actually had high expectations for Diana!
Soon, the bell signaling the end of the exam rang.
Diana woke up suddenly from her slumber, got up, took her test paper, and rushed up to the podium.
"Proctor, here you go."
She eagerly submitted her paper.
The proctor frowned, originally intending to say a few words to her, but then he saw a puddle of drool on her answer sheet...
Proctor: ...
Oh well, there's no hope for her.
Diana stepped out of the examination room and recalled Martin's words.
After some contemplation, she picked up her phone and went to the official voting page.
There were a total of seventy contestants listed, and she was the last one.
Maddie was in the first place with over a thousand votes, leaving her far behind.
Her bid for student representative had become the campus' biggest joke and had even made it to the university forum.
In an instant, it sparked a wave of ridicule.
["Foodie": "What's wrong with my eyes? Diana Thompson is running for student representative? What gives her the right! She failed all her subjects, didn't she?"]
["Cloth Bag": "Her actions are enough to make me laugh for half a year😂. Has she gone crazy?"]
["Strawberry Shaved Ice": "Do you think she is being unconventional and trying to attract Luke's attention in a different way?"]
["First Sight": "I don't care! One of those dozen votes is mine. She's so beautiful, she's my type😍!"]
...
As she looked at the heated discussion below, Diana stroked her chin and pondered.
She had no real interest in it at first, but now she thought it might be interesting if she could really take Maddie's place as student representative.
There was only one week left until the end of the vote.
She had to act fast.
Diana put her phone back into her bag, ready to leave when she suddenly saw Maddie walking towards her, laughing and chatting with a group of girls.
Upon seeing Diana, Maddie was surprised. "Diana, why are you here?"
This morning, Andrew told Maddie to go first, and she thought Diana would not show up for the exam again.
"What's so strange about coming to take the exam?" Diana responded calmly.
"Just you? What difference does it make whether you come or not!" Chloe sneered and laughed, not hiding her contempt for Diana.
Maddie looked serious, "You can't say that, who knows Diana might make progress this time."
"With her grades, what progress can she make?" Chloe rolled her eyes, then pulled Maddie aside, "Maddie, you're just too kind. Diana still wants to compete with you for the student representative position, and yet you're still defending her!"
"Chloe, you can't say that. Diana has her own strengths..." Maddie defended.
"What strengths does she have? Other than being better at fighting than you, what else does she have that can compare to you?"
Diana stood on the side and clicked her tongue, "Such a sycophant!"
Chloe immediately became angry, "Who are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about you, what's wrong?" Diana sneered disdainfully.
Chloe was furious, she never liked Diana. Seeing her like this, she wanted to confront her.
Lily pulled her back in time, "Chloe, don't stoop to her level. She's just jealous of Maddie and trying to talk tough."
"Yeah, and the most popular male student representative this time is your boyfriend, William Brown. Don't be angry," Ava comforted.
Mentioning William, Chloe's face immediately brightened up.
A hint of pride flashed in her eyes. "Today, William said he created a new song. Let's go listen to it. Don't hang around with someone who lowers our taste!"
With that, she grabbed a few people and started walking away.
Maddie, to maintain her image, casually asked Diana, "Diana, why don't you come with us?"
In theory, Diana knew that the others didn't like her and wouldn't come along. But to Maddie's surprise, Diana immediately came over and said, "Sure, let's go see it."
Maddie was stunned. Why did she follow them?
In an instant, Chloe and the others became a bit displeased. "Maddie, why did you bring her along?"
"Maddie is also in the art troupe. What's wrong with me going to see it?" Diana looked at Maddie with a naive expression and said, "Maddie, you and William Brown are both ranked first on the voting list. You guys are a perfect match!"
Maddie was startled. "Diana, what are you talking about? I'm just William's partner!"
"Exactly, if you don't know how to speak, then don't speak!"
Chloe gritted her teeth, also quite angry.
She glanced at Maddie and then turned her head.
Actually, Chloe always felt that she wasn't good enough for William. She was average-looking, had average grades, and other than her family background, she had nothing to show for herself.
Diana's words undoubtedly touched her sore spot.
For a moment, the atmosphere became strange.
Unaware of the tension, Diana took a candy out of her pocket and slowly put it in her mouth.
She sneered inwardly. If Chloe knew that William had been with Maddie for a long time, what would happen then?
Just thinking about it made her excited.
They arrived at the training room of the art troupe, and from afar, they could hear the sound of restless music.
Chloe opened the door excitedly and saw some boys tuning their instruments inside. She immediately shouted with excitement, "William!"
"Hmm."
William looked up, casually glanced at her, and when his gaze shifted to Maddie behind her, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Maddie, you're here too!"
William walked over quickly.
He did look good with wheat-colored skin and a handsome face. He and a few others started a "Rose Band" in college, which attracted many girls.
Originally, Luke was the lead singer, but thanks to her three older brothers, Luke was now at home recovering.
William was originally the bassist, but with Luke absent, he became the backbone of the band.
"William."
Maddie pursed her lips, revealing a shy smile.
Her appearance made William's heart itch.
He liked Maddie's delicate and shy appearance, making people unconsciously want to protect her.
At this moment, William's gaze shifted to the quiet girl beside her.
He was slightly taken aback.
This is...Diana Thompson?!
She's so beautiful!
Her face was exquisitely unreal, and at first glance, she even outshone Maddie!
When he saw the photo on the voting page, he thought someone had faked it.
But he didn't expect it to be this tomboy!
"William, I heard you guys wrote a new song?"
Maddie keenly sensed William's distraction and immediately spoke up, redirecting his attention.
Even if she didn't like William, she wouldn't allow Diana to steal her spotlight!
"Yes, come over and listen!"
William regained his senses and immediately led everyone over.
Chloe rushed to sit in the front row, looking infatuatedly at William.
Diana looked at Chloe sympathetically that Chloe really knew nothing about the relationship between William and Maddie.
William was observing Chloe's fawning expression, and the disdain in his eyes disappeared as he shifted his gaze to Maddie. Indeed, Maddie's poised and confident demeanor made her more likable.
"This is our new song, called 'Fly'," William cleared his throat and introduced it to the audience.
He then gestured to the other members of the band, and after they were ready, he held the microphone and began to sing.
"William, you are so handsome!" Chloe happily waved her hands, her face full of admiration.
After listening to a few lines, Diana rolled her eyes up to the sky. Was that it? Her second brother, Ben, could easily crush him with just a single note! She wondered how he managed to climb to the top of the voting list.
After the song ended, William struck an exaggerated pose and ended the performance.
He took the bass guitar off his shoulder, walked over to the group of people, and ran his hand through his hair, thinking he looked cool.
"So, how was it?" Although he asked everyone, his gaze was clearly focused on Maddie.
"It was great! William, you are really talented!" Chloe was quick to respond, while Lily and Ava nodded in agreement with an admiring expression.
"Maddie, what do you think?" William asked eagerly.
"Well...the whole performance was very explosive, but I think, William, when you're wrapping up, you could do with a little less movement, so it would be more concise and sharp," Maddie gave her honest opinion. "I'm just giving my personal feedback, don't be angry."
"Maddie, I think William's performance was perfect, there's nothing to improve," Chloe interjected from the side.
In her eyes, her William had no flaws and was perfect.
