The average score in English of Class 7 had been at the bottom in the grade, but a student from Class 7 had got the highest score in English this time, which was beyond everyone's expectations and sparked a heated discussion during lunch.
However, not everyone was talking about the English examination.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMost of the students were discussing when Luis would drive away his new deskmate.
As Alexa had got the highest score in English, Alexa felt honored as her friend.
While they were eating, Alexa praised Alexa several times.
Alison was a shy person, and she blushed scarlet when being praised this way.
Suddenly, a girl sat next to Alison. Taking a glance at the girl, Alexa found that she was Shirly and changed her expression immediately. "Shirly, who allowed you to sit here?" Although Alexa didn't like Luis anymore, she still hated Shirly, because Shirly was so scheming that Alexa had suffered a lot.
When Shirly sat down suddenly, Alexa becalert at once.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShirly glanced at Alexa and said, "I have something to talk about to Alison." Alexa beceven unhappier when hearing these words. "What do you want to say to her?" Shirly smiled and looked at Alison. "Alison, we've read your essay. It is well written. I'm the vice president of the club, and I'd like to invite you to join our club." Though Alison didn't know Shirly, she knew Alexa well, and she remembered what had happened that day clearly.
"Thank you, but I'm afraid that I couldn't join it." Shirly seemed surprised. "Why? Our club will send excellent works to the municipal competition every year. If your work wins out, you'll earn a lot of money." "In addition, our club cooperates with the Writers Association of Juanton City. Every year, we select ten excellent s, which will be incorporated into an anthology with the works of the authors from the Writers Association." Alexa still shook her head. "I'm sorry, Shirly. | don't plan to join your club, because | have no adequate time." Being declined again, Shirly stopped persuading Alison. "Okay, it doesn't matter. If you change your mind, contact me. Our president also appreciates you." "Thank you." Alison nodded and then smiled at Alexa.
Alexa was a little disappointed. But when she saw Alison's smile, she suddenly bechappy again and looked at Shirly." Is there anything else that you want to say? Shirly was stunned for a moment and then said, "No, | won't disturb you." Shirly had to go back to sit with her friends with her food and plate.
Alexa didn't speak until Shirly walked away. "Don't you really want to join the club? | hear that the first prize money is 30,000 dollars. But only members of organizations can participate in the competition. Individuals are not allowed." Alexa was surprised. "So much prize money?" "Yeah, but no one from the club has won the first prize. The best prize that the club has obtained is the third prize. The prize money is only 8,000." Alexa blinked. "8000 is not a little." Alexa thought for a while. "Yes, my pocket money is only 200 a week." Although Alexa's family was wealthy, her mother only gave her 200 dollars as pocket money per week.
Alexa liked eating snacks after school, and occasionally, she drank coffee. This cost her 70 dollars or so, not to mention that she always bought food after physical education class.
Looking at Alison’s expression, Alexa snorted. "Do you want to join the club now?"
