Chapter 6 : School Belle I

Meanwhile, nobody noticed Ruoxelle glaring at Lillian from the corner of her eyes. She simply found Lily an eyesore. Ruoxelle, the school belle had liked Dasielle ever since she saw him at a social event she had attended with her father. This particular event was held annually every year for all socialites, the wealthy and rich of the city to socialize with one another, gain more connections and business benefits. One had to at least own a company to be able to attend such events.

Roux Elle's family was not so particularly wealthy but could be considered well off or rich, as her father is the chairman of a perfume company. At about a year ago when Roux Elle first laid her eyes on Dasielle at a socialite's event, she was immediately awed by how good he looked. She had heard so many stories about him, even from her father who told her not to anger any member from the top most influential families. Rumours spoke of his cold attitude towards everyone and how he always seemed shrouded in mystery. However, the more she looked at him, the more she liked him more and more. After noticing so many girls who approached the cold young master either walking away in anger or leaving in tears, Roux Elle had summoned up her courage. Leaving the midst of her peers who were obviously heiresses from different families, she picked up the hem of her gown and walked up to Dasielle who was sipping wine from a glass.

" Is there anything I can help you with ?" After downing the contents of the glass and taking it away from his lips, Dasielle asked in a somewhat polite manner. Encouraged by this, Roux Elle summoned up more courage as she nervously closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she steeled her heart and opened her mouth. " Well I... I think I like you." She finally said with a blush while trying to gauge Dasielle's expressions. In terms of looks, Roux Elle didn't think she was below all those young girls who had approached Dasielle. As a result, Roux Elle didn't think she would lose out to the other ladies in terms of chasing after a guy. What she never expected however was Dasielle's expression that suddenly turned cold. He didn't react at all in the slightest way she thought he would. Looking at her likely he had just heard a joke, he opened his mouth to speak " Oh is that so ? Actually, I quite like myself too. It's only normal don't you think Silver ?" Dasielle had said with the coldest face as he directed his last question to another youth who was making his way over. Silver Vinci, who was around Dasielle's age or a year older was referred to as the outcast of the Vinci family. Outsiders didn't really know the reason which made most of them conclude that it was because he had a head full of white hair, which was a very stark contrast to the other members of the family who had black or brown coloured  hair. Silver made his way over with a lollipop in his mouth and curling the edge of his lips as he proceeded to talk some things with Dasielle. Seeing as they were about to leave, Roux Elle quickly ran after them, attempting to grab Dasielle's suit. Dasielle however moved faster than her as he quickly moved to the side which made her stumble and fall to the ground in her heels. Receiving the looks of everyone around, she instantly felt embarrassed especially after noticing that Dasielle did not even move a muscle to help. It was almost like whatever happened had nothing to do with him. Roux Elle felt wronged but this cold master turned and walked away un interestedly with Silver in tow. Tears gathered in her eyes. She stood up and ran out in her big gown while covering her face in the midst of laughter s coming from the crowd.

That incident had really shamed her and her parents in the socialite's circle. She received serious scolding from her father when she got home and she had to stay indoors for a couple of months until the incident died down before she was finally able to continue her normal routine like shopping and the rest.

Back to present~

This was the same person who had shamed her in the presence of thousands, but why does things seem different with Lily ? He had actually even initiated a conversation with her. Or had she seduced him ? Such were the thoughts going through Roux Elle's head as she continued glaring at Lily.

Later, Miss Sarah came to the class

" Students please settle down, I'm going to give you an assignment at the end of the class." She said with a sweet smile that accentuated her charming facial features. She got many grumbles in response which made her smile even more as she continued " It's easy, your assignment is to carry out the experiment we did in our last lesson in groups. " Miss Sarah walked in her flats and brought out a basket from behind her. Placing it in front of her. " But before that, let's play a little game, while I explain the details. Now, this is a lots basket. I want you all to draw lots to decide who your partners will be. The first group to conclude their practicals will earn some points, good luck~"

After completing her statement, she stood to the side while the students came over to the front to draw lots from the basket.

"Lily let me pick first, I want to be in the same team as you." Li Ming said as she pushed Lily aside to draw lots the same time as the other students.

Dasielle picked a random paper from the basket and glanced at it before moving to the side.

" I got number 10, what number did you pick ?" Li Ming said after taking a glimpse at her paper.

" Number 4 " Lily said after picking a paper and unfolding it.
