Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 51

The next day, Agnes Pritchard trotted off to school as usual.

Everything seemed the same. Nothing had changed.

The only exception was Agnes knew that Jenny Fitz had taken a two-week leave.

It was half a month later when she saw Jenny again.

That day, the president of The Journalism Society announced a meeting that all members had to attend.

When Agnes arrived, she saw Jenny.

Jenny looked chipper, all smiles, and was chit-chatting away with other members of The Journalism Society.

When Agnes walked in, Jenny gave her a look, her eyes indifferent.

Agnes casually found a seat at random and sat down.

At this point, the president, Lily, stepped up and began, “The reason why I've called you all here today is to announce something important. Since I'll be graduating soon, I can't continue as the president of The Journalism Society. Before I leave, I want to hand over the reins to someone who's competent and responsible. Right now, I have two people in mind. Jenny, our vice president, has been diligent and responsible since taking up the role. And Agnes, who managed to score an exclusive interview with Jared Whitfield, which really put our Society on the map. I've decided that one of them will be the next president. To be fair, we'll do a secret ballot.”

Agnes hadn’t expected today's meeting to be about electing a new president, which was a big deal.

Agnes loved journalism and The Journalism Society, but she didn't want to work with Jenny.

She didn't want to have a conflict with Jenny.

Agnes raised her hand and said, “I give up.”

But almost at the same time, Jenny said the same thing.

Everyone looked in surprise at the two of them.

Agnes and Jenny also looked at each other.
