As her mind wandered, she suddenly heard Ruby Bellamy's saccharine voice call out, "For this question, I'd like Stella Lockwood to answer..."
Stella Lockwood, having been called out, froze for a moment. Only then did she realize that while she had been lost in thought, the show's Group C—Ulysses Gordon and Jade Jenkins—had chosen Group B—Ruby Bellamy and Serena Caine—to answer. The pair had gotten five questions right and four wrong, but when it came to their final question, Ruby Bellamy had suddenly nominated Stella Lockwood to answer it.
When she saw Ruby Bellamy flash a triumphant smile at her, Stella Lockwood understood. 'She's coming after me.' Stella was known for being a bit of an airhead. Her grades had never been great, she often seemed clumsy in her roles, and she was seen as an easy target. 'Ruby is intentionally using this as a chance to bully me.'
"Alright, Miss Lockwood, Group B would like you to answer," the host, Mindy Joyce, said, looking at her.
