Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 693

When the three students from Zenith Academy approached, Aileen and her friends instinctively frowned. The curly-haired girl in front snatched a banner and read it aloud mockingly.

"Queen of Physics? What a lame title! Just because someone won the Southdale Physics Competition doesn't make them special. Being a bookworm isn't something to brag about.

"And what's with this fan club nonsense? Know your place!" Zenith students were bitter about First Academy winning the physics championship, so they seized this chance to mock them.

"First place belongs to our school. Do you have a problem with that?" Aileen reached for the banner but missed.

"Hmph! We don't waste time arguing with nerds. If your so-called Queen of Physics is really that amazing, let her compete in the Crystal Queen pageant!"

Aileen and her friends' faces darkened at the mention of the Crystal Queen pageant.

"Hah! Just mentioning Crystal Queen makes you all go pale. You're so pathetic!" The three Zenith students strutted past them toward the academic building.

"I can't stand their arrogance!" Aileen sighed once they had left. "But it's really a shame for Yolanda. If she had better looks, she could definitely win the Crystal Queen pageant!"

"Drop it." Her friend tugged at her sleeve. "Yolanda's focused on academics. She wouldn't care about this stuff."

"Yeah, we're out of banners anyway. Let's head back."

Yolanda learned all this from her classmates' chatter, which spread quickly after the Zenith students' visit.

During afternoon study hall, their new homeroom teacher, Mae Lomerby, entered the classroom. In her thirties, Mae wore thick-framed glasses and dressed conservatively. Despite her traditional appearance, she was highly qualified in language subjects.

She was a top graduate from Creybia University with teaching experience at Crown Academy in Creybia. First Academy had only secured her because she had returned to Riverdale to care for her ill mother.

"I'd like to introduce your new classmate, Yvonne Henderson!"

Just after she said that, Yvonne walked in carrying her backpack. "Hello everyone, I'm Yvonne Henderson."
