Chapter 29: Teachers Pet II (1/2)

'Should I just solve this directly? Oh well, I don't want to be branded as a bimbo.'

Serena pretended to think it through then slowly wrote on the board.

3x + 2 = 11

3x = 11 – 2

3x = 9

X = 9/3

X = 3

”Sir, did I do it right?” Serena asked, feigning uncertainty. Although this is easy for her, she has no desire to be labeled as a genius. That just means more expectations and responsibility.

”Good, very good! Did you study this subject before? Even some of the male students couldn't solve this question!” the teacher praised.

”I have read some books, but it should be credited to your brilliant teaching that I learned how to solve it, sir.” Serena complimented. 'Well, there's nothing bad in being the teacher's pet. At least I will be able to get away with some things later. And although I don't like him that much, I can see his effort in teaching my classmates.'

”Alright Ms. Maxwell, please be seated” he said.

”wow Serena, I'm now seeing you with new eyes, I never thought you were this smart!” Via flattered.

”Ha! Sure, puts that Ms. Evans on her place.” Milly suddenly stated.

”What did she do to you?” Serena raised her brow.

”Well, I just hate her smug look. Like she thinks that she is better than all of us just because she can answer the teacher's questions. Not only that, I've seen her making that face, you know, the face one makes when they just heard something stupid, it's like a frown with a mixture of disgust, when she thinks no one is looking. It's like she's judging everyone here as stupid just because they can't understand what the teacher is saying immediately. I have no doubt that she has already labeled us as dumb bimbos in that head of hers just because of the clothes we choose to wear. What aggravates me more is that she also particularly made that face when you were solving the question too. Like she had no doubt that you will get it wrong. She's such a goody two shoes in front of the teachers but really, she's just a pretentious bitch.” Milly ranted.

”And you already got all that in just these 5 days you met her? You haven't even had a conversation with her yet.” Serena remarked as she chuckled 'young girls and their pettiness.'

”Milly's right, I also hate her.” Gizel seconded.

”Shh... she might hear you.” Via warned.

”You've got to trust me in this Serena, my gut is never wrong when it comes to these things. That girl is bad news.” Milly continued.

”Well, not that I like her or anything, but she has not done anything harmful to you or me. So, my advice is to just ignore her so long as she doesn't cross us.” Serena said while thinking 'In the end, she's the female lead and will be the future queen of Windsor. It's still best for you guys to not make an enemy out of her for nothing.'

”And if she does?” Gizel just had to ask.

Serena smirked.

”Please remind me not to get on your bad side.” Gizel stated, feeling her skin crawl.
