Chapter 4: Now, now, now

Irithel has her eyeglasses on. Her eyes affixed on her laptop. In her room, only the light tapping sounds of the keyboard could be heard. Upon clicking the button 'Print', a smile formed on her lips.

She got the papers on the printing machine and kept them on a folder. Shr immediately grabbed her bag and rushed to Athena University. On her way, she caught on Freya on the elevator. Freya was holding piles of books.

"Let me help you," Irithel volunteered as she grabbed the books and a folder from Freya.

"Thanks a lot," Freya said as she gives her a smile.

Irithel simply winked at her. Irithel gave her back the books when Freya got out from the elevator. Irithel held the folder she got from Freya together with her folder.

Before the election of school officers, Irithel was told to go to the Student Council room to check on the documents of the projects being held by the student government. She intentionally left Freya's folder before leaving.

After the election, Freya came running towards Irithel. She asked," Have you seen my folder back at the elevator?"

"I kept it to return it to you but I left it at the Student Council room hoping you'd be there," Irithel replied.

Freya thanked her so she heads to the Student Council room and she realized that she had forgotten to ask Irithel the main location where the folder is. But she decided to look for it since the Student Council room is not that big. It took her about 10 minutes before finally finding the folder. She takes her exit from the room and decides to go see Miya.

Freya wanted to know the results of the election for she is excited. She knew if she could be president, she will be able to fulfill all her promises.

"Where have you been?" Miya asked.

"I just went to find these files at the Student Council room," Freya replied. The two of them ordered some food and sat at the table near the window.

"Do you think Zilong got the highest votes?" Freya asked.

"I'm not really sure. But honestly, I got the instinct that he does have the highest votes," Miya replied.

"I feel the same way," Freya chuckled. "But at least I gave my best."

"You did," Miya said.

After eating their lunch, an announcement came.

"All candidates of the school election, please proceed to the auditorium now. I repeat, all candidates of the school election, please proceed to the auditorium now."

Miya and Freya rushed to the auditorium which is already packed with students. On the stage was Zilong.

"Freya, would you come and join me on the stage?" he asked which the white-haired girl diligently obliged.

Upon stepping on that stage, she had never expected the next thing that had happened. Piles of papers showered down on her. She looked at the papers, it is the copy of the tally of their election. Her votes was way beyond Zilong, making her the winner. Though, she noticed that the paper does not have the stamp of the school which means it is fake.

"We'd like to know, Freya, why did you do this?" Zilong asked.

Freya was puzzled for she did nothing wrong.

"You're a cheater," Zilong accused.

Freya knew she did not cheat, she felt like defending herself. While she was struggling to fight for herself, on the bleachers, Irithel is smirking. Her plan on framing Freya worked. She has never liked her before and she even despised her upon knowing that Freya ran for presidency. Irithel wanted to completely ruin her so she could leave the school which went according to her plan.
