Chapter 9 The First Prize of Clare
Chapter 9 The First Prize of Clare
On Saturday night, Clare and her brother had made an appointment to video chat on the Internet.
However, as soon as she turned on the computer, her phone rang and she picked it up.
"Clare! Turn on the computer! BBS! " Jill· shouted excitedly on the other end of the phone.
Clare was confused, "What's wrong?"
"Congratulations! You won the prize!" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What..." Clare was interrupted by a knock on the door before she could ask.
"Clare, open the door." It was Cassie.
Clare replied, "The door is not locked."
As soon as she pushed the door open and came in, she saw Clare. With a gloating look on her face,
she said, "Clare, congratulations. You've won the prize."
"What?" Clare was confused. What the hell? Why didn't she remember that she had bought any
lotteries?
Two minutes later, under the guidance of Cassie and ·Jill, Clare entered the BBS of the school and
finally understood why they said she had won the prize.
The water zone was on the top of the HOT headlines——
The theme: [Congratulations] Clare won the honor of the campus beauty of this year. [Top] [HOT]
In the last assessment, each of the boys and girls winners was charming and equally powerful, and the
final votes were almost equal. In order not to cause any discord between the FANS, we have asked for
the public's opinions and decided to leave the· top for the time being.
But yesterday! Attention please! Yesterday! At the exciting moment yesterday, the winner of this year,
who had been hanging for a long time, finally had a master!
"In the assessment holding every· semester yesterday, Clare, a transferred student of class 0207, was
elected as the campus beauty of this year, winning other candidates over 60 to 500 votes.
On behalf of the broadcast station and other gossip news teams, I'd like to express my sincere
congratulations to Clare.
Let's applaud, open the champagne and spray the flowers to celebrate this~
Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw.

********To join in the fun*********
After reading the first page carefully, Clare asked her cousin modestly, "Is this the reward I won? Is
there any reward? Such as bonus or free trip? "
Cassie looked at her and said, " You think too much. There is no reward, but I think you'll soon get into
trouble. "
"Trouble?" Clare blinked in confusion and explained innocently, "How could it happen? I've been
obedient these weeks and haven't caused any trouble. You know that."
Patting her head, ·Cassie sighed sympathetically and said, "I know. But you should also know that you
are born to be troublesome. Even if you don't take the initiative to make trouble, the trouble will come to
you. ——Your trouble this time is called Fiona."
"Fiona?" The vicious beauty mentioned by Lydia? Clare frowned and asked gloomily, "I haven't even
met her formally. How did I offend her?"
"Here you are." Pointing at the post on the computer, Cassie said, "That's why."
Seeing the puzzled look on her cousin's face, Cassie explained for her kindly, "As the saying goes, tall
trees catch much wind. As soon as you came, you were elected as the campus beauty and completely
suppressed the limelight of Fiona. How could a person who couldn't afford to lose let you go that easy?
What's more... "
After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that Cassie hesitated and did not continue, Clare could not help
but ask curiously, "What?"
Cassie glanced at her and said, "... What's more, the campus handsome boy is Carl."
Clare was confused, "What does it have to do with me that Carl is the most handsome boy?" How
could she figure out the cause and effect connection?
Cassie patiently explained, "In the tradition of XY High School, the campus beauty and the campus
handsome boy are usually regarded as official match by the students. Even if there is nothing between
you two, you can't avoid being flirted for a while. And Fiona's love for Carl has been a public secret in
the school. Do you think it's related?"
"..."
Clare was depressed. She thought for a while, raised her head and looked at Cassie with tears in her
eyes. She asked pitifully, "Cassie, am I kind of getting shot while lying on the bed?"
As the saying went, "good things may not work, but bad things may work." Soon, what Cassie said
about the trouble was confirmed.
On Monday morning, Clare was stopped by Fiona and her followers as soon as she entered the school.
"Dare you make a bet with me?" Fiona held her shoulders with a contemptuous smile on her face.
Clare felt conflicted.
Made a bet? She had bet with her brother since she was a child, and she was also interested in it. But
before she came to XY High School, she had promised her brother to keep a low profile and not cause
any trouble...
So, should she gamble or not? It was a serious and troublesome question.
"What? You don't dare?" Seeing that Clare didn't respond for a long time, Fiona thought she was afraid.
She laughed more contemptuously and more arrogantly. "If you don't dare, you should keep a low
profile at school in the future. Don't make a splash all day long just because of your face. XY High
School is not a place to make everything happen through your beautiful face. Do you understand? "
Hearing Fiona's last sentence, Clare frowned, with a flash of sharpness in her eyes. But the next
second, she looked at Fiona and smiled, "What do you want to bet on?"
The sudden change of Clare's attitude surprised Fiona. She asked with uncertainty, "Did you agree to
bet with me?" Wasn't she afraid just now?
Clare smiled more brightly and said, "Of course. To be honest, I don't like to be misunderstood that I
only have a beautiful face."
'Well, you have a strong self-esteem. Unfortunately, one's self-esteem isn't enough to support one's
life.' Fiona sneered. Since she wanted to die, should she still stop her?
Therefore——
"Basketball." She said, "Let's play basketball. The one who wins will make the terms."
Basketball?
Clare hesitated for a moment. She didn't expect that. She stopped smiling and asked, "Can you change
it into another one?"
Before Fiona said anything, the two girls beside her burst into laughter. One of them snorted and said,
"What do you want to change? Just tell me if you are afraid of losing!"
Clare looked at the girl who was talking and then looked at Fiona. After thinking for a while, she finally
gave up and sighed, "Let's play basketball. Just tell me when you set the time. ——I'm in a hurry to
attend class. Please excuse me."
If there was anything else that could spread the fastest in the world besides the pestilence? It must be
gossip. In less than one morning, almost the whole school knew that Clare and Fiona were going to
play basketball in private.
In less than half an hour after school at noon, a water building had been built in the water area of the
BBS of the campus, where the two gambled and won. Because there was a rule in the territory that this
kind of "gambling game" could not involve more than ten dollars, so the people in the group were all
like "I bet 0.5 dollar that Fiona will win." "I follow, and I'm 6 cents higher than you. I bet Clare will win."
... And so on.
Today, the Dreamlike Seven Stars had made an appointment to have lunch in the Qin family. At the
table, Jill slammed the table angrily and stood up, saying, "This gambling is too unfair. Fiona has begun
receiving professional basketball training since middle school. How could she propose to compete with
you in basketball? How despicable she is!"
Clare's eyes lit up. "Is she that good?"
Jill· was shocked by her reaction, "What, what does your expression mean?" Shouldn't she be
bothered by Fiona's powerful performance? Why was she so excited?
"A relieved expression." Clare picked up a piece of chicken and swallowed it. Then she continued, "I
was worried that she was too weak, so it wouldn't be fun. But now I'm relieved to hear that."
Feeling confused, Joe said, "Clare, you seem to be very confident in this competition."
Clare nodded subconsciously, but soon shook her head. She said, "I'm not confident, but when it
comes to the competition, I will try my best to win her."
"Really?" Lydia doubted and worried, "Clare, don't blame me for distrusting you. Do you remember?
The year before the last year, you came here with Austin for the summer vacation. We played
basketball, but you couldn't even beat me. Fiona is much better than me in basketball."
"Ha ha, Lydia." Clare didn't say anything, but Cassie smiled and said, "You said yourself that it was the
year before last. Since she lost to you last time, as soon as Clary came back home, she had been
pestering her brother to teach her basketball. Now she is... " Speaking of this, she stopped and looked
at Clare, smiling but saying nothing.
Clare chuckled, "How does the saying say? You should judge a person one more time even if you were
just separated for three days... "
The rest of them looked at each other and then smiled.
"Then we'll wait to see your wonderful performance. Come on!"
The competition was scheduled for the last class on Wednesday afternoon, because the class 0204
where Fiona was in and the class 0207 where Clare was in happened to have PE class at the same
time. Fiona went to apply to the PE teachers of two classes. After getting their positive answers, she
asked someone to send a message to Clare.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the basketball playground outside, and the ground flashed with
dots of light. The basketball court was full of people, because it was a competition between the two
most popular figures, the campus beauty and the beauty of the second grade, and everyone was in
high spirits.
Outside the basketball court, Vincent looked at Clare, who was drinking water, and touched Carl with
his elbow with a smile. "Hey, Carl, who do you think will win?"
Carl didn't say anything, but ·Sam frowned and said, "Maybe Fiona." According to the information he
had read, Clare was not good at basketball, but he was aware what Fiona was capable of.
Touching his chin, Vincent smiled meaningfully and said, "I don't think so..." Clare didn't look like a
simple girl.
