Bella Sanford smiled gently, holding the microphone with both hands crossed in front of her. Suddenly, she heard someone loudly shouting Maya Monroe's name.
Somewhat surprised, she whispered to Maya, "It seems like Maya is quite popular."
Maya frowned slightly, appearing a bit puzzled. She could hear the audience below calling out names. The louder ones included Leo Lancaster, Miles Wallace, and... herself.
Bella continued to ask her, "Do you think we can take the championship in this round?"
She spoke while glancing at the large screen behind her.
"I don't know."
Of course, it's impossible to win.
Maya glanced towards Kiki Monroe, noticing her anxious and tense expression. Maya then nonchalantly retracted her gaze, leisurely rolling up her sleeves to reveal a slender, white wrist.
Leo Lancaster stood next to her and asked, "Are you hot?"
"A little."
The vote count was taking longer, and Maya turned back to look.
