lagiarized?” “So what if it isn’t? It’s probably not all that great anyway. Have you ever even published anything? Let me guess, some cheesy romance novel that’s too embarrassing to admit? I’d die laughing.” Morwenna looked at Jethro as if he were a court jester rather than a serious challenger. She wasn’t opposed to fair competition. True, she wasn’t a virtuoso on the piano or a master of the French language. But she never felt inferior, never saw herself as lesser than anyone. Her writing was one of her proudest achievements. It was clear to everyone that Jethro was being unreasonable, possibly harboring a grudge against Morwenna. Just as Morwenna was about to retort, the Student Council President, with a stern face, intervened, “Enough. The welcome party is starting in a few hours. Why cause a scene now? Even if we want to replace someone, it’s too late. Can anyone here memorize a script on such short notice?” Behind Sandra, a girl in a ball gown stepped forward, “Council President, I can memorize it.” The girl who stepped forward was previously a popular candidate for the Freshman Representative. Sandra sneered at Morwenna, thinking she could keep her position secure so easily. Getting a script was no big deal for her. Her plan was to let Morwenna be complacent before pulling the rug out from under her at the last minute. With the situation escalating, Morwenna continuing as the Freshman Representative seemed unlikely. And if things got worse, Morwenna could face serious consequences, making it easier for Sandra to push her out. The president hesitated. The newcomer, though not as charismatic as Morwenna, was fairly attractive and knew the script. The controversy could negatively impact him as well. After a moment’s thought, he announced, “In that case, let’s proceed with the replacement. Campbell, reflect on this incident. Your position as vice president will be suspended for now. Does everyone find this fair?” The crowd was satisfied. This uproar was essentially targeted at Morwenna. As for Campbell, he was somewhat untouchable. Campbell kept silent, realizing he had inadvertently dragged Morwenna into this mess. But then, Morwenna spoke up, “I disagree.” Sandra started to lash out, “What right do you have to disagree? Who exactly do you think you are, thinking your opinion counts here…” Morwenna gestured for Sandra to stop, and her voice cut off as if Morwenna would physically silence her if she continued. In a calm and composed manner, Morwenna said, “I’m also a freshman. Since Campbell nominated me, I believe I’m quite suited to be the Freshman Representative. And about my writing not being up to par? Since when did features in the Rosefrost Newspaper, the National Daily, and other major publications become something to be ashamed of?” The auditorium fell silent. The publications Morwenna mentioned were highly respected. Anyone who disagreed would be considered foolish. Dahlia, having seen Morwenna’s speech, suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise, “Are you Mora?”
