When the timer ended, Teacher Annie recounted the highlighted points of each speaker before moving on to the next.
"Moving to the fourth speaker of the affirmative side, the stage is all yours," she said with a smile.
Hearing that it was his turn to speak, Jeff smiled since for the moment he had been waiting for had finally come.
Looking at his opponent, his eyes shone when he realized it was Arianna Willow.
Seeing his expression, she gave him a sly smile that radiated an intoxicating charm, leaving their classmates mesmerized as they watched the scene.
"Don't be too hard on me," she said as the two faced each other at the center.
"That depends," Jeff replied with a smile.
Since this was a competition, of course he would go hard on her, because the greatest respect you can show your opponent is by giving your all.
As the timer started, Jeff closed his eyes for a moment and recalled the constructed speech he had prepared.
