Chapter 28: Photoshop

In less than a day, the news had spread that a very beautiful girl had arrived in the international class.

Somehow, someone had secretly snapped a picture of Maureen standing at the classroom door in the morning, replacing the one with her wearing a mask on the voting page.

Thus, those attracted by the lure of her reputation went to the forum to see.

Many were instantly skeptical,

“Was this picture photoshopped?

How come I’ve never seen such beauty at our school?”

There were also more analytical voices,

“Look, the door frame in the background is skewed due to editing.

It’s clear that the beauty filter was overused.

No ordinary person could have such perfect facial features.

Why bother studying?

She should go be a star.”

“Yeah, if she truly appeared this way, she would have been quite popular in our school or even other schools by now.

How come this is only coming to light now?”

Opinions abound.

Those who hadn’t seen her personally remained dubious.

The few phrases on the forum praising Maureen’s charm that morning even led to a controversy.

Despite this, the vote count for Maureen on the voting page shot up uncontrollably, soaring as if on rocket propulsion.

Even before the end of the school day, Maureen’s popularity had almost surpassed Bianca’s on the forum.

Ann, slouching on the desk, felt an inexplicable sense of being publicly executed, as if her clothes had been stripped off.

She spent the whole day with her head down, not daring to pay any attention to what the teacher was lecturing.

In the Evergreen Class, no one expressly mocked her.

At most, a few girls who disliked her were murmuring among themselves.

But Ann was extremely sensitive.

She felt that whatever others were talking about related to what happened that morning, and that they were making fun of her.

After class, her best friend Rachel came to comfort her, patting her arm,

“It’s alright, this will blow over in a couple of days.

It’s not a big issue.

It is understandable if you feel a bit jealous of her.

These petty sentiments are common among young girls”.

Upon hearing this, Ann was about to burst into tears, lifting her head from her arm,

“Exactly, why should I be blamed?

Who knew that Maureen could be this charming beneath her mask?

If anyone is to blame, it should be her for causing this misunderstanding, right?”

Two girls who were busy doing homework behind them heard the conversation.

They exchanged glances, both thinking Ann was really shameless.

Even at such times, she was still arguing irrationally.

Every class has a gang of girls who band together, who are not to be messed with.

Aside from the most beautiful, non-competitive Bianca, Ann is a central figure in this small group.

The others shouldn’t have to provoke Ann.

Consequently, they continued to bury their heads in their homework, pretending not to hear.

Rachel also felt that the one who uttered this, Ann, was a bit thick-skinned, but she didn’t voice this, instead, she continues to console,

“Indeed, if it had been me, I would also have thought that she would be very ugly after injuring her face and wouldn’t dare to see people.”

Ann wiped away her tears,

“I feel like I’m a joke.”

“It’s okay.”

Rachel continued to patiently reassure.

Ann’s mood improved quite a bit and she could think clearly.

She looked complexly at Bianca, who was sitting not far away in the first row, and spoke in a low voice to Rachel:

“But I didn’t expect that Bianca, who has always been praised by us, would kick me when I’m down at a crucial time.

She doesn’t consider me as a friend at all.”

“Mmm…” Rachel didn’t know whether or not to respond.

There was a crack in the friendship between Ann and Bianca, and if she were to respond, she would offend Bianca.

Noella, who got along rather well with Bianca, came over from the aisle behind her after giving her boyfriend medicinal treatment.

She happened to overhear this, immediately slapping a bottle of alcohol heavily on Ann’s desk.

“Ann, have some shame.

It was your false friendship that caused Bianca to have an allergic reaction!

No wonder why Bianca didn’t want to talk to you these days, so this happened.

If it wasn’t for you making a fool of yourself today and dragging Bianca into it, she would continue to kindly keep this a secret for you.

I feel bad for her – she has already been such a good friend, what else do you want from her?!”

“So Bianca has no problems?”

Ann ripped off the mask,

“Every time I say Maureen is ugly, doesn’t she just sit idly by?” Noella angered,

“Don’t you slander here.

Whenever you say that, doesn’t Bianca stop you?

She always tells you not to talk nonsense.”

Ann could not win in the quarrel, she was sweating anxiously and was nearly on the verge of swearing,

“Is ‘don’t talk nonsense’ the same as ‘don’t say that’?!”

The argument got louder and louder, attracting the attention of many people in the classroom.

This morning, Ann single-handedly stirred up conflicts between two classes.

A bunch of boys who sat in the back row hadn’t even spoken to her about this yet, and she still dared to make a scene here.

A boy impatiently said, “What’s all this commotion?

Can’t you take it outside?”

On seeing this, Rachel also tugged on Ann’s clothes, whispering,

“Drop it, don’t drag Bianca down too, she’s pretty and the boys in the class will definitely take her side.”

“I get it, no matter what, you guys always stand with Bianca!”

Ann felt a chill in her heart, she glared at Noella and asked bitterly,

“Are you my friends or Bianca’s?” Noella gave her a cold look, turned and walked away.

Ann slumped in her chair, feeling helpless.

Why did it seem like no matter what she said or argued, everyone in the class, even her own friends, always sided with Bianca?

Bianca sat at her desk doing her homework, but after a while, she realized she had no idea what she was writing on the scratch paper.

She was restless, not in the mood to deal with the dispute between Ann and Noella.

Noella came over and glanced at the competition materials on her desk,

” Bianca, are you preparing for the Hundred Schools Championship?”

Bianca looked quite pale, and replied, “Uh-huh.”

Seeing that she didn’t look well, Noella comforted her,

“Ann is responsible for this.

No one will think it has anything to do with you.

You’re always so agreeable, don’t worry.” Bianca laughed and looked up,

“Thanks, Noella, I know.”

After thinking for a moment, Noella added,

“Then you can prepare for the Hundred Schools Championship, I won’t disturb you—”

Then she recalled the voting forum where Maureen was on the verge of surpassing Bianca in votes.

Even though Bianca never cared about such things, Noella couldn’t help but comfort her again.

“Those school beauty contests don’t matter, grades are what counts.

No matter how pretty Maureen is, she’s such a mediocre student.

She didn’t even qualify to participate in the Hundred Schools Championship.

You are much better than her, Bianca.”

“Yes, that’s right,” another girl came over and comforted,

“I also think it’s pointless to just be pretty.

It’s the smart girls that are attractive.
