Maureen made it to the finals, causing another issue for Evergreen Class.
That would be the bet between Noella and Maureen - witnessed by at least seven people in the training room at that time, word about that incident has circulated widely, even to the point that everyone in the building knew about it!
Now Maureen really did squeeze into the finals in an impressive third place, while Noella's name is nowhere on the list!
So does this mean it's time to fulfill the bet?
The mood among the students of Evergreen class was complex - although many of them disliked Noella, partly due to her being Bianca's sidekick, she was after all from their class.
So if she ended up swollen-faced and dejectedly dropping out of school, wouldn't that be humiliating for the entire Evergreen class? Noella herself was utterly devastated.
When she came out of Mrs. Miller's office, she felt as if she had been pushed underwater by her neck, uncontrollably drowning and suffocating.
