Danica just kept crying, clutching her right hand with a pained expression, not saying a word.

Brie found it strange too. Was it really just an accident?

“Alright, enough! Stop arguing!” Alfen shouted, then looked at Kaleb.

“Take her to the school nurse first. The nurse is at…”

Kaleb’s expression was a little awkward.

He was Brie’s boyfriend. Even though their relationship wasn’t public yet, touching another girl in front of Brie felt … wrong.

Brie’s expression was visibly uncomfortable too.

“It’s not like it’s something to be ashamed of. Man up! A girl’s hurt, and you need to step up!”

Kaleb had no choice but to help Danica to her feet. He glanced back at Brie and lowered his

gaze.

Brie was willing to share everything with Danica, but not Kaleb.

“Mr. Hoge, I’ll go with Danica to see the nurse.”

Brie raised her hand and called out.

“You’re staying! The match isn’t over yet. You’ll take your sister’s place as the outside hitter. Game on!”

Without Danica as the backbone of their team, Brie’s side quickly lost.

It was a brutal defeat. In the second half, Cassia’s team completely demolished Brie’s with a 3-0 sweep.

Brie didn’t receive a single ball.

The second half went to Cassia’s team. The final score was 3-2, a successful comeback from the first half. Cassia’s team claimed victory.

“Yes!” Rosalie and the others cheered and hugged each other.

“Oh, please! If Danica hadn’t hurt her hand, would they even have had a chance to win?”

Brie was too embarrassed to face anyone and quickly slipped away with her head down.

After the match ended and everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Alfen called out to Cassia.

“You’ve got real talent in volleyball. I would like to recommend you for a volleyball training camp.”

When he said this, Brie slowed her steps. Like everyone else, she turned to look at Cassia.

Cassia replied expressionlessly, “Not interested.”

She refused?

“Cassia, I trust my judgment. You’re perfect for outside hitter. I’m not exaggerating when I say this. If you’re willing to go to the training camp, I guarantee you’ll have what it takes to represent the national volleyball team one day!” Alfen was painting a grand picture for Cassia.

But this wasn’t just empty talk. In his eyes, Cassia was already on par with the ace hitter who had once dominated the international stage.

The more Alfen talked, the more shocked the students became, and the deeper the jealousy grew in Brie’s eyes.

“What? Mr. Hoge really said that?”

Danica was sitting on a bed in the nurse’s office. After hearing what Brie told her, her eyes went wide with disbelief.

“Yeah. And Mr. Hoge also said he wants to remove you as captain of the girls‘ volleyball team and make Cassia the new captain.”

Brie was in a terrible mood after losing to Cassia. The first thing she did after leaving was visit Danica.

Danica had always believed that aside from her face, Cassia couldn’t compete with her in anything. But now Cassia was more talented than her at volleyball too?

And on top of that, Alfen wanted to recommend the girl for the volleyball training camp.

Not only that, but they also wanted to strip her of her position as captain of the girls‘ volleyball team?

“That’s never going to happen!”

:

Danica was so furious she threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed.

“Danica, your hand!” Brie saw how worked up Danica was, grabbing the blanket with her right hand and flinging it aside. She gasped in alarm.

If something happened to Danica while she was with her, how would she explain it to their family?

She couldn’t afford to take that kind of blame.

Danica looked at her “injured” right hand, deliberately twisted it around, and said with a mischievous grin, “Don’t worry, Brie. My hand is fine.”

“Fine?”

Brie looked at Danica’s hand, confused.

“But on the beach, you clearly…”

“I was faking it.” Danica giggled.

Her goal had been to push Cassia into the spotlight and make everyone misunderstand her.

As for why she didn’t outright say Cassia had hurt her hand?

If she had said that, it would have raised suspicion. By not saying it, the misunderstanding about Cassia would only run deeper.

“Faking it?”

“Yep.”
