BXBX NOVEL Chapter 912: The Sports Meet
After hanging up the phone, Connor washed up and had breakfast.
After breakfast, Connor didn’t look for Jorge. Instead, he decided to return to school.
After all, Connor had not been to school recently. He felt that he should go back to school to take a look. Otherwise, Dominic, Spencer, and the others would think Connor had dropped out of school.
After returning to school, Connor found that the students in the class seemed to be preparing for the sports meet. The podium on the field was being constructed, and the competition venue was planned.
Porthampton University’s sports meet was held once a year. It was second only to the school’s anniversary among all university activities. This year’s sports meet coincidentally coincided with the school’s anniversary, so the school attached great importance to this sports meet. This was also the reason Rachel asked Connor to help.
“Connor, you’re finally back for class. If you didn’t come back soon, Spencer and I were going to make a missing person report…” When Dominic and Spencer entered the classroom, they saw Connor playing with his phone.
“I had something to do a while ago, so I didn’t come to class…” Connor put down his phone and explained with a smile.
“I know rich heirs like you have many things to do, so I didn’t look for you. I was afraid of disturbing you…” Dominic grinned and replied.
Spencer walked to Connor’s side and asked mysteriously, “Connor, where have you been these past few days? Did you look for your girlfriend, Yelena? I’ve seen the news. Your girlfriend, Yelena, is currently filming a blockbuster overseas, and there seem to be many international superstars in this movie. If you go to your girlfriend next time, can you help me get a few autographs?”
“I had some personal matters to deal with, so I didn’t look for Yelena…” Connor replied helplessly.
“What private matters?” Spencer blinked and asked curiously.
Connor turned and looked at Spencer, not knowing how to answer.
“Connor, you’re so rich now. Can’t you bring Spencer and me out to see the world? Aren’t you being too mean? When you didn’t have money, we treated you to so many things!” Dominic said to Connor, sounding a little upset.
“That’s right, Connor. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about us just because you’re rich now?” Spencer said.
Connor looked at Dominic and Spencer helplessly. He said in a low voice, “I was dealing with some personal matters, not having fun. But don’t worry. If I’m out for fun, I’ll bring the two of you along.”
“That’s more like it!” Hearing Connor’s promise, Dominic smiled happily.
Connor, Dominic, and Spencer chatted briefly before the bell rang. Connor began seriously paying attention to the class while Dominic and Spencer slept and played with their phones.
Half a day passed quickly.
Connor’s class had classes in the morning and no classes in the afternoon. Therefore, after the morning class, all the students picked up their textbooks and returned to the dormitory. Connor also planned to go home.
“Please wait a moment!” But at this moment, Eunice suddenly stood up and shouted.
After hearing Eunice’s words, everyone looked up at Eunice, puzzled.
“I want to hold a class meeting. Can everyone spare a few minutes to cooperate with me?” Eunice asked politely.
When everyone heard Eunice’s words, they stopped what they were doing.
After all, as the student representative, Eunice was very popular in the class. Basically, all the students respected her.
“Thank you, everyone!” Seeing that all the students in the classroom had stopped leaving, she bowed slightly to the crowd and walked up to the podium.
“I asked everyone to stay on for a bit today because I want to discuss the sports meet with everyone!”
After Eunice walked up to the podium, she did not waste any time and went straight to the point.
“Eunice, what’s up with the sports meet?” The students in the classroom looked confused and asked Eunice in confusion.
“Well, I just learned from the sports committee that the students in our class aren’t enthusiastic about signing up. There are many events that no one is participating in, so I hope everyone can actively participate…” Eunice said softly.
“…”
When everyone heard Eunice’s explanation, they all lowered their heads, and no one spoke.
“You can get extra credits by participating in the sports meet, so students who usually have lower credits can use this sports meet to get more credits…” Eunice quickly added when nobody responded.
“Eunice, it’s not that we don’t want to participate. It’s just that we’re not good at those events…”
“That’s right. Even if we participate, we’ll only be embarrassing our class. We won’t be able to get any results!”
“Brandon and Harvey have always been the ones participating, but now both have dropped out of school…” The students in the classroom whispered.
Hearing the discussion, Eunice looked a little helpless. Then, she bit her lip and said softly, “It doesn’t matter even if you don’t win. As long as you participate, you will be rewarded with credits…”
When the students in the classroom heard that, they did not seem to react at all. After all, this was the school’s annual sports meet. All the students in the school would go to watch the competitions. Moreover, there would be a television station broadcasting it. How embarrassing would it be if they participated and got the last place?
“Are you two participating?”
Connor turned to look at Spencer and Dominic and asked softly.
“I’m participating in the 100-meter race, and Spencer is participating in the medicine ball throwing. However, neither of us is very good. As long as we don’t get the last place…” Dominic chuckled.
“You know how to throw medicine balls?” Connor turned and looked at Spencer. A trace of shock flashed in his eyes as he asked in disbelief.
“Can’t we just throw that thing around…” Spencer grinned and asked.
“I’m afraid Spencer might throw the medicine ball at the referee…” Dominic ridiculed.
“Please! I’ve trained before, okay? You’d better think about how you will run that hundred meters. Don’t fall on your face…” Spencer quickly retorted.
