Chapter 1609
Hearing this, Bradley quickly ran over and joined the group,” I want your signature too!"
Initially, Nicole had half the mind to give them the signature. However, those who were not as close to
Nicole, and who had not dared to approach her, soon began to flock over.
Those who were closer to Bradley stood up in excitement." Nicole, can you give me an autograph as
well? I''m worried I can''t ask for it anymore once you''ve made it big...”
One piled in after another, and in an instant, the entire ssroom erupted in a pandemonium, with
almost everyoneing forward and asking Nicole for an autograph.
Nicole instantly felt annoyed. Her biggest fear was being surrounded by these clueless people. Facing
the books which were stacking up on her table, Nicole''s face twitched, as if she was about to lose her
temper.
At that very moment, the school bell rang, and Ms. Emerson walked in to see Nicole being surrounded
by that entire group of people.
Thinking that something had happened, she immediately shouted, "What are you guys doing? Get
back to your seats right now!”
It was only then that Nicole managed to heave a sigh of relief. Lulu and June had gotten their
signatures first, so
they went back to their seats happily. As for Bradley and the rest, they could only return with crestfallen
looks on their faces.
However, their eyes, which were still fixed on Nicole, were still filled with hope.
Initially, Ms. Emerson thought that these people were targeting Nicole. However, as soon as she saw
that Nicole was fine, and that everyone had a notebook in hand, she concluded that they were asking
Nicole about homework. At that, Ms. Emerson felt relieved.

"I understand that everyone is passionate about studying. But don''t flock toward the ss president for
just about any questions. It''ll be quite a burden for them,” she said.
Everyone immediately knew that Ms. Emerson had misunderstood the situation. Yet, no one had
bothered to rify it to her.
Nicole, on the other hand, felt touched that Ms. Emerson knew about her problem.
She did not expect Lloyd to announce the news before she could even begin acting. It was truly
troubling her. However, things had already happened, and now, all Nicole could do was to ept it.
Ms. Emerson then began to teach and the entire ss fell silent. No one noticed that Gary had been
staring at Nicole. With school finally reopening, Gary could see Nicole again. However, all he could do
now was to stare at her from behind, for there was nothing else he could do to interact with her.
Recalling thest semester, Gary had indeed acted like a fool. He still wanted to help Nicole and
remind her about things she might have missed, but now, he no longer had the right to even get close
to her. That feeling was extremely suffocating.
Soon, lunch break came around, and Ms. Emerson made an announcement. "This year, our country
will be organizing apetition inputer science. A few famous universities from San Joto will be
sending some top students from the field ofputer science to participate. As for our senior level
students, we don''t have anyputer science course, but I know there are some of you in this ss
who are proficient in it. So, the school will be providing everyone a chance to register voluntarily.
Each ss will have three representatives. If anyone is interested, you may sign up with me.”
As soon as the word was out, everyone looked at Gary. The Finley family owned the biggest
Information Technology firm in San Joto. Gary''s brother, Ryder, was the top student in theputer
science course in the university. As for Gary, he was the most famousputer guy among the
seniors. Even the teachers would look for Gary regarding anything aboutputers in the advanced
level.
Furthermore, surveince cameras from all around were also provided by the Finley family. It was not a
secret at all.
"Brother, school has just reopened, and you have the chance to show what you''re capable of.”
In Mathematics Olympiad during the previous semester,
Nicole had stolen the show. This time around, however, Gary would be made known again. He must
regain his status this semester.
“Of course, Gary will have to join, there''s no question about that. The only issue is that each ss must
send three representatives. Are there other students who are interested in apetition inputer
science?" Ms. Emerson looked at everyone with a smile, though she had nothing butints, deep
down.
Previously, when the district organized aputer sciencepetition, every ss was only required
to send one student.
Thus, Gary would just participate. The rest of the students were not interested in thesepetitions at
all. After all, senior year students would prioritize their academics. They were soon to be final year
students.
Everyone was upied with their students. Therefore, how would they find the time to participate in a
computer science Competition?
However, this year''spetition was at the national level. Thus, every ss must send three
representatives. Other than Gary, Ms. Emerson really did now know who else was knowledgeable
enough in such a field. Even if she were to arbitrarily appoint someone, she did not know who to
appoint.
As expected, the entire ss fell into pin drop silence after Ms. Emerson had raised the question.
Vivian murmured in a soft voice, "Ms... We''re only high school students. And none of us major in
computers.Usually, we would only useputers for our studies and nothing more. How could we
participate in thepetition? I even heard that you''ll have to create codes during thepetition and
design a software as well...If we can''t do any of that while we''re participating, it''ll be really
embarrassing.”
"That''s right...”
The rest of the girls also began to murmur.
In an instance, the whole ss became silent. Other than Gary, there really was no talk about anyone
being an expert in regards toputers.
