Who's Aurelia?

During Add Maths tuition class today, I was completely stupefied/ dumbfounded/ aghast/ by a statement made by one of my classmates. It started when our teacher, Mdm. Liew asked us a Trigonometry question. Since Aurelia is the first one to get the answer, she told teacher about it. Now, our teacher has this habit of writing down suggested answers on the whiteboard, along with the name of the person who suggested it and asks the whole class whether we agree to the person's answer. In this case, "Who agrees to Aurelia's answer?" Several nodded in agreement while others say it out. It was in that moment I heard this somewhere from a seat behind me:

Who's Aurelia?

Normally I wouldn't pay attention to this kind of thing, you know and dismiss as a lame joke. A few moments later came this:

Really, what. Who is she?

By now the whole class started laughing, the teacher included. I teased Aurelia about it the whole day. But then again, she seems to take this insult to her self- identity in stride. Way to go. Well ,anonymity can really do anyone some good at times.
