Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 500

On the Aurora High School sports field, under the hot June sun, reporters and onlookers craned their necks, waiting for the main subject to appear.

Suddenly, staff members from the school began carrying a massive blackboard onto the field.

"They're supposed to be explaining the perfect score. What's the blackboard for?"

"Just a distraction tactic, I bet!"

"It's almost 2 p.m. Why haven't the school's administration and Juniper shown up yet? Are they getting cold feet?"

"Of course they are. Let's see how they try to explain a perfect score on every subject."

At 1:58 p.m., Salma appeared, with Juniper walking calmly beside her. The moment she was spotted, a storm of camera flashes erupted as reporters scrambled to get the perfect shot.

Salma and the head of discipline, intimidated by the sheer scale of the event, whispered to Juniper, "Are you sure you want to go up there?"

There were dozens of media outlets and a countless number of spectators. How could an eighteen-year-old girl handle this kind of pressure? More importantly, they still had no idea what she was planning.

"It's fine," Juniper said, her hands hanging loosely at her sides, a mango-flavored candy in her mouth. Her expression was calm. "I can go up by myself. You can all rest on the side."

"Are you really okay?" Salma asked, her worry palpable. "The Department of Education has already responded. They said they'll investigate and clear your name. If you're scared..."

"Oh, I'm scared," Juniper said, raising an eyebrow nonchalantly. "Scared of how terrifyingly good I am."

Salma and the teachers were left speechless.

Without another word, Juniper walked to the center of the stage. Before she could even speak, a pack of reporters swarmed forward.

"Juniper, there are rumors online that your scores are fraudulent. What's your response?"
