Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess

"Oh em gee!!! Serena! Congratulations! This is another first in history!" Milly said her eyes wide. They were in the assembly hall looking at the bulletin board wherein the results of the prefinal exam were posted. 

"Congratulations Serena. I'm proud of you." Via praised.

"Ha! I wonder how that Douggie will take it." Gizelle smirked. Then she started laughing evilly. 

Serena did feel proud. She smiled and thanked her friends then went back to looking at the rankings. She was ranked first thanks to Charlton's excellent tutorial for the subject biology. Though she doubts that she can maintain being the top student later, it still felt really good to experience it at least once. 

Hearing Gizel's words she too smirked. Gods, that Douglas was only a minor character but every time she recalls his holier than thou attitude, she just wants to pull his hair out. She can't wait to see his face come the SC meeting on Saturday. How could she rub it on his face without her sounding like she's gloating? HAHA! Anyway, even Emily ranked higher than him, as always she was hot on her heels. She ranked 2nd this time and if not for her drastic improvement in biology, she would have outranked her.

Looking at the results of the 2nd year, she smiled. Like the midterm exam, Charlton was tied with Geoffrey at the top perfecting everything. 

Anyway, when they were done looking at the rankings, they headed to class.

The days passed quickly and soon it was Friday. After swimming class, the girls all had lunch together in Serena's room. 

"Serena, Milly, I just received a letter from my mother last night and she asked me for updates regarding what we talked about last time." Gizel opened.

"which one?" Milly asked a bit confused.

Serena on the other hand have just been waiting for this. "Is it about us joining you in Militiea for this summer?"

"Yes, have you guys asked permission from your parents already? Please say yes and that they agreed." Gizel asked, her excitement and anxiousness intermixing.

"Oh, yes, now I remember. They agreed but only for 2 weeks. Also, I need to give them the specific dates. By the way Serena, you definitely have to come along. My parents only allowed me to go because I mentioned your name." Milly responded with a grin. Normally, her parents won't allow it, but since she said that Serena was joining, they instantly agreed.

"I will definitely join you. I'm actually looking forward to it." Serena answered.

When the two said yes, Gizel could not keep her excitement. "Fantastic! Wahhh!!! I'm so excited to show you guys around. Everyone would love to meet you. I will inform my mother immediately. As for the schedule, mother said that it would be more convenient that we, me, Via, and George, wait for you before we depart for Militeia after the school year ends on the 14th of June. On the time frame, we can host you up to forever but since you said it, I think 2 weeks is good. My parent's silver wedding anniversary is on the 28th of June. Serena, promise me you'll sing! My parents would totally love it!"

"Sure! I also think that the timeframe is fitting." Serena replied. Now she felt bad about wanting to invite Charlton along. Gizel was expecting to spend some girlfriend quality time, and here all she thought about was spending them with her boyfriend. Then again, perhaps Charlton would be busy by that time and would have to work as a music producer. Anyway, she can just talk to him about it later.

After that, Gizel started to excitedly talk about Militeia, where they can go and what they can do there.

"Good afternoon everyone. Today is the 11th of May and after this meeting, we only have 3 meetings left. We have already discussed all the basic theories and I believe that this year, everyone has learned a lot from this class. Anyway, since there is nothing more to discuss, I would just like to announce that the evaluation for your original solo composition would be on our last 2 meetings. Next week, we will not meet so that everyone can work on their piece. The rest of the period today, you can use for practice or consultation." Felix announced. 

The class just stared at him as if waiting for something.

Feeling that the class was staring at him like some clown, he thought of asking as an afterthought. "Anyway, before I dismiss you, I wish to hear about how you are all faring with your original solo composition." 

When he asked, a lot of students started murmuring and some raised their hands.

Felix furrowed his brows and called a student. 

"Sir, it is too difficult to compose an original in such a short time. We have been so busy these past few weeks…"

"Yes, sir, it's too much! I haven't even been able to start the chorus."

"Please sir, make it a group activity instead. This last activity is much more difficult that accompaniment."

Felix shook his head, well, he understood their sentiment. It's just that no one has raised it before. Thinking that he could be more lenient, he suggested, "How about this. Let's turn this activity to a group work instead. But to make it fairer, you still have to compose a new song, but there should be accompaniment too. In other words, it would be a combination of everything you have learned in this class."

Serena wanted to laugh. As a professor in her past life, there were times when students make all sorts of request. She just never thought that it would also happen here.

"Yes sir, that would be great! How many people can join in a group?" a student asked. 

"a maximum of four students. Anything more would be unfair. However, if some still want to work on their own, then that is fine too."

The students groaned but could no longer negotiate. Anyway, at least it would be easier this way.

"Alright, since we're in agreement, if there's nothing else, then you can use the rest of this period to work on your songs. I will just sit here in front in case you have anything for consultation."

Gizel, Milly, and Via all turned to look at Serena like she was some Messiah sent from above.
