Chapter 764
Nicole narrowed her eyes at seeing everyone stirred up. “Register now before places run out.”
Those students, who felt dejected just now, raised their hands at once. “I want to take part.”
“Me, too. I will take part in the long jump.” The class came alive instantly.
Lulu did not expect Nicole to turn things around so quickly, arousing everyone’s enthusiasm for the sports day in just one day.
This was something that had never been seen before at the Royal Creek Institute.
Vivian did not expect Nicole to be so smooth-spoken, persuading everyone with just a few words.
In the past, she had to make people sign up for the sports day by using coercion and inducement tactics, sometimes having to
pay out of her own pocket to do that, yet those people were still reluctant to take part. So she was upset when Nicole, who had
just assumed the post, could do that effortlessly.
‘When did the student union have a reward mechanism?’
Feeling with hatred, Vivian was itching to pour cold water on everyone’s enthusiasm. “Calm down, you all. When did the student
union ever give out rewards? Nicole, are you trying to fool everyone into signing up for the sports day and then tell them there is
no reward at all, or even if there is, it is just a piece of useless paper? Come on, just forget it.”
Vivian’s sarcastic remark burst everyone’s bubble of hope. Many of them calmed down and looked at Nicole.
“You didn’t lie to us, did you, Nicole?”
“Is there really a reward mechanism?”
“What are the prizes?”
They threw a series of questions at Nicole, who could not help but squint.
On stage, Ms. Emerson thought this was a little too much. Whether what Nicole said was true or not, she knew Nicole was trying
her best for everyone. “Are you all signing up for the sports day just because of rewards? Can’t you all have a sense of collective
honor?”
Everyone fell silent. Even Vivian did not dare to speak.
But Ms. Emerson had not let Vivian go yet. “Nicole has been making efforts to encourage everyone to take part in the sports day.
If you are not helping, at least refrain from frustrating her effort. I know you’re upset that Nicole took over as class monitor, but
you can’t target your classmate just because of that.”
Vivian did not expect Ms. Emerson to be so biased toward Nicole. Ms. Emerson not only questioned her but also exposed her
jealousy of Nicole in front of everyone just because she had said something not too nice. She felt humiliated, biting her lips in
indignation, and then was about to explain herself.
Just then, Nicole smiled and interrupted Ms. Emerson. “It’s all right. “I understand why Vivian thinks it’s impossible. After all, she
hadn’t fought for everyone before. But I will strive for a better reward mechanism for everyone this time. It will not be just an
empty talk, and the prizes will not disappoint everyone.”
Hearing Nicole’s assurance and thinking of what Ms. Emerson had said, more people believed Nicole, as they realized Vivian
had tried to sabotage Nicole’s effort because of jealousy.
“We believe in you, Nicole. I will sign up for the relay race.”
“Me too. I will sign up for the javelin throw.”
The rest of the people followed suit after a few of them took the lead in signing up for the sports day.
Nicole smiled, “Well, if anyone would like to sign up for the sports day, come to me for the registration form after class.”
Vivian was not too happy when Nicole successfully defused the crisis. But there was nothing she could do, as her teacher and
classmates were now on Nicole’s side. Realizing she had lost her place in the hearts of her classmates, she felt indescribably
frustrated and hated Nicole even more.
