Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

John quickly stepped forward to intervene. “You don’t have to listen to Ruby, Yvette. We’ll talk to Mr. Sunderland. If you don’t want to join, then you don’t have to.”

Hearing that Yvette had already agreed, Ruby quickly jumped in “Since you’ve agreed to join Arts Festival, I’ll be looking forward to it. The application forms will be sent to cach department by the student council.

With that, she led her group away, clearly eager to leave before Yvette could change her mind.

Yvette noticed the worried looks on Bonnie and John’s faces, and she felt a bit touched by their concern.

“Come on, let’s go. If we don’t hurry, the pork ribs in the cafeteria will be gone Bonnie suddenly remembered the ribs, slapped her thigh, and quickly pulled Yvette along.

John followed behind, carrying the documents, watching as Bonnie rushell ahead while Yvette strolled calmly, completely unfazed. He sighed, wondering how these two could be thinking about pork ribs at a time like this.

This is a competition in front of the entire school, and sometimes even media sponsors come to broadcast it live. If we don’t do well… John felt sick with worry. But then he remembered the last Frixyian competition, and that thought calmed him a little-

In the cafeteria. Andrew stared at his bowl, then glanced at his dish and Jeremiah’s. He felt a surge of unfairness. Why did the cafeteria lady pile so much food on Jeremiah’s plate but skimp on mine? Jeremiah’s plate is overflowing with ribs, while I only have three or four pieces-for the same price! This is blatant discrimination, he thought.

“If you keep staring like that, you’re going to burn a hole through your bowl, Jeremiah teased.

Jeremiah’s long legs didn’t quite fit under the cafeteria table, forcing him to bend them slightly, looking a bit uncomfortable. The girls nearby casually glanced over at Jeremiah and Andrew, though most of their attention was naturally focused on Jeremiah.

Andrew glanced at Jeremiah, who was slowly chewing his food. Jeremiah, what’s going on with you today? Trying to relive your high school days or something with that outfit?”

Jeremiah was wearing a white T-shirt, track pants, and a pair of sneakers. Even back in college, Andrew had never seen him dressed like this. He was completely shocked.

Jeremiah hesitated slightly, his cutlery in hand. “Just threw something on,” he replied casually.

Andrew was speechless. Does Jeremiah think I’m blind? He spent half an hour picking out that outfit before coming here. And he calls that “Just threw something on?”
