The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

abella was cluelest that she had been blacklisted as a troublemaker by the vice principal because

mpetition ramai, and with whispers flying around that she had used her connections to come here, her reputation was taking a hit. The students from both the Prodigy Class and the regular classes were giving her looks that dripped with sdment and disbelief.

Being a problem student and accused of pulling strings was the talk of the town, the stain on the school’s good name. the epitome of embarassmentt

So, when the Gist of students selected to participate in the BrainSpark Nationals was posted on the school bulletin board and Mirabella’s name popped up, it turned into the juiciest gossip of the semester.

“Good Lord, where does the new girl get the guts to sign up for BrainSpark Nationals? Isn’t she embarrassed?”

“Does she think she can just charm her way into BrainSpark Nationals too?”

Te bet a nickel she won’t even pass the prelims.”

“My stars, looks like Parkside High is gonna be the laughing stock of the nation this time!”

“Seriously, wouldn’t it be better to just sit pretty and not stir the

e pot?”

Jenna was dumbfounded when she saw Mirabella’s name on the list. “Queen Mira, I thought you said you weren’t interested in BrainSpark Nationals? You even turned me down when I asked you to sign

up.” Jenna puffed her cheeks out in frustration. Her usually round face looked even rounder, like a petulant hamster.

Ever since Jenna found out about the hefty sums being transferred into Mirabella’s account every day, she’d taken to calling her “Queen Mira” as a nickname, and it had stuck.

Mirabela looked at her with a puzzled expression. “Wasn’t it you who signed me up?”

Jenna blinked in confusion. “Nope, not me. I mean, I wanted you to compete, but I didn’t put your name there.”

Mirabella frowned. “Then who did?” Had she known it wasn’t Jenna who signed her up, she would have flat–out refused when Annette called her to the office.

Mirabella glanced at her and said coolly, “I know.”

Mirabella’s eyes lowered slightly, but she remained silent.

“The BrainSpark Nationals is for super intelligent students, the real brainlacs. If someone signed you up knowing your grades were dismal it’s a surefire way to humiliate you at Parkside High School, and maybe even cut you off at the knees.”

“Queen Mira, think, have you ticked anyone off lately?” Jenna folded her arms, getting straight to the point.

Mirabella’s expression was serene, and her voice was quite serious. “Does being envied for my looks count?”

Jenna’s mouth twitched. “Can you please be serious? I can’t help you sort this out if you’re gonna be like this.”

With a light “oh“, Mirabella then sprawled back onto her desk and closed her eyes.

Jenna was speechless. Queen Mira was uniquely nonchalant even in the gravest of times.

With a sigh, Jenna said helplessly. “Maybe you should talk to the She–Devil about this? The She–Devil was the students‘ secret nickname for Annette, their head teacher.
