The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 390

Soon, President Charles responded, "That girl ain't fond of studying. You might only see her for four days in four years, so don't get your hopes up."

President Barton retorted, "Ha! As long as I have all these facilities, Bella will stick around for at least a year or two."

President Tanner said, "Unfair."

President Mann said, "Shameless."

President Nelson said, "Lowbrow."

President Charles said, "Scummy."

As they all huffed and puffed, President Barton was in high spirits. He sipped the coffee Arabella had bought for him, hummed a tune, and enjoyed himself immensely.

Meanwhile, an elderly professor strolled onto the campus of Summerfield College and knocked on the principal's office door.

"Come in."

The old professor sighed as he entered, "President Charles, what do you think young people are thinking these days? Summerfield College is one of the best in the country, but this year's top student chose Westerly College. Why?"

"Don't you get it?" asked President Charles with a smile.

"I really don't." The old professor was quite disappointed and slumped in a chair. He had personally extended an invitation, but the girl had still refused him!

President Charles continued his drawing and said in a leisurely manner, "I told you not to go, but you went anyway. Now you're upset because she rejected you."

The professor looked up in surprise. "President Charles, how did you know she wouldn't come to our Summerfield College?"

"Look." The president gestured to the wall behind him.
