Chapter 851
Class A once again failed to finish first, and the class teacher’s face sank again. When he saw Ms. Emerson look at him with a proud face and a disdainful look in the eyes, he got even more exasperated. So he took it out on Norah. “How did you train your classmates? Do you mind explaining how we lose to Class B in every game? Do you still want to be a class monitor?”
“I want to be a class monitor. I swear I will finish first in the next game to make our class proud.” Norah said timidly, but secretly, she had an evil plan in mind.
Soon it was time for Vivian’s turns for the relay race. For the sake of prizes, she had given it all out during the training and done exactly what Nicole told her to do by spending most of her time with her teammates to build up their tacit understanding of each other.
Vivian, Lily Moreno, Lulu, and June came to the starting line and performed some warm-up exercises, Nicole kept watching them. As the four of them looked back at her, she gave them a nod of encouragement.
With Nicole’s morale support, their confidence doubled. At this time, Norah was smiling evilly from the sidelines, as if waiting to see their misfortune or something.
“On your marks.”
Bang! Lily, as the first baton, handed the baton to June’s hand without a hiccup. June was running parallel to a contestant from Class A but gradually falling behind. Meanwhile, Lulu was waiting anxiously at the relay point, cheering for June in her mind. ‘You can do it, June.’
The baton was soon passed to Lulu. Seeing that the Class A contestant had gone ahead of her, she ran as fast as she could. But at this time, she felt a sharp pain in her foot. Lulu ignored the pain, gritted her teeth, and continued to run toward Vivian.
Nicole was watching and had also sensed something amiss with Lulu —she knew Lulu could run faster than this. She looked at Norah, who was watching the competition triumphantly on the other side and began to suspect something. But since the game was still going on, it was impossible to stop the game. Nicole had no choice but to watch Lulu run and then hand over the baton to
Vivian with a painful look on her face.
While waiting for the baton, Vivian also noticed something was wrong with Lulu. But there was no time to worry about that, as her rival was already one step ahead of her. Once getting the baton, she wasted no time running toward the finish line.
Just when everyone thought Class B would lose the relay race this time, a miracle happened. Vivian ran with all her
strength and crossed the finish line in a burst of speed, barely milliseconds ahead of her rival. 2
The joyous expression on the class teacher of Class A faded in an instant. He glared at Norah with dissatisfaction and then sat down and ignored her.
“Vivian! Vivian!” Her classmates shouted her name. This was her first time feeling the warmth from her classmates.
But this was not the time for this; Vivian and June rushed to help Lulu back to the rest area. After Lulu laboriously took off her shoes, everyone saw the blisters on her foot, and it was bleeding.
Spencer and Samuel were here to cheer for the team. But when seeing blood on Lulu’s foot, Spencer immediately took her up in his arms and carried her to the infirmary.
Lulu was in pain and could not control her expression. But when Spencer carried her in his arms, she felt it heartwarming, and the painful look on her face eased up somewhat. She leaned against Spencer’s chest to cherish this hard-won moment.
Nicole picked up Lulu’s shoes for examination with a grave face and found some hard plastic shrapnel behind the shoe lining.
Norah had come over, wanting to amuse herself. But before she could say anything, her eyes collided with Nicole’s piercing eyes.
“If you think of getting any first place in this year’s sports day, perish the thought. You won’t even get one.” Nicole snapped.
“Isn’t it too premature to say that, Nicole? The next game hasn’t started yet. Let’s wait and see.” Norah glanced at Nicole as if she had done nothing and then at Jack before she left with a sneer.
To prevent Lulu’s accident from happening to others, Nicole immediately told her teammates who were about to go on the track. “Take off your shoes and check them carefully. Put them back on only after you find no anomaly. Alert me at once if you find problems.” “Nicole, I found some hard plastic in my shoes.” Jack pulled the thing out to show Nicole.
