At that moment, Lilian’s advanced class had gathered under a shady area by the beach for free time.

With Danica injured, Cassia had become a target. In everyone’s eyes, Cassia had done it on

purpose.

Rosalie and Sacha stayed close to Cassia.

“Seriously, are you guys done yet? If you don’t have proof, quit running your damn mouths!” Rosalie had reached her limit.

“Slandering someone’s reputation can be considered defamation if it’s serious enough! If Cassia wanted to, she could take this to court and press charges!”

After Rosalie said that, the girls who had been gossiping about Cassia didn’t dare to say another word. They all shut up.

Just like Rosalie said. Was Danica’s hand really hurt by Cassia on purpose? No one actually had any proof.

Sacha had been worried about how Cassia was feeling. While defending her alongside Rosalie, she kept a close eye on Cassia’s state.

But when she saw Cassia playing on her phone, she figured that someone as unbothered as Cassia wouldn’t waste energy on something this petty.

Cassia had her head down, playing a match–three puzzle game. After clearing all the ice blocks, she looked up at Rosalie and Sacha.

Her eyelids were half–lowered, and her feathery lashes cast shadows over her beautiful eyes, making it impossible to read what she was feeling.

Still, some classmates came over to ask curiously, “Cassia, when did you first learn to play volleyball?”

Cassia didn’t look up from her phone.

“Picked it up from the neighbors.”

Picked it up from the neighbors? So she was just an amateur?

An amateur Cassia had beaten professionally trained Danica?

That was going to blow their minds for the rest of the year.

Lilian walked over with Alfen. Brie and Danica followed.

Lilian glanced in Cassia’s direction and frowned deeply.

“Everyone, quiet down. I have something to tell you. Danica’s hand injury isn’t too serious, but she won’t be able to represent our school in the city volleyball tournament.”

Hearing this, the students let out sounds of disappointment and concern. Some of them shot very unfriendly looks at Cassia.

One of the students who was on the girls‘ volleyball team asked anxiously, “Without our outside hitter, what’s going to happen to the tournament? Our school finally made it to the city finals. Are we just going to forfeit?”

Alfen glanced at Danica, then continued where Lilian left off. “Don’t worry about the outside hitter position. You all just saw Cassia play volleyball. And Danica told me that Cassia has competed before and did pretty well. She can take over as outside hitter and compete in the tournament. There’s no way we’re forfeiting!”

Cassia?

No way.

All

eyes turned to Cassia. Brie and Danica watched her with looks that said they couldn’t wait to see the show.

Cassia, who had just been named, looked completely unbothered. She kept her head down and continued playing on her phone.

“Mr. Hoge, has Cassia really competed before?” One of the students raised the question.

The girl was good at volleyball, but none of them had ever heard of her competing in any volleyball tournaments. Maybe she had played in some casual pickup games at the park with the old folks?

Amateur and professional were two totally different things! Could some recreational game even compare to a real city tournament?

The question felt familiar to Alfen. He had asked Danica the same thing earlier, but Danica had assured him that Cassia had definitely competed before.

“Cassia has competed before. And her volleyball skills aren’t any worse than mine,” Danica said, imitating Brie’s tone.

Then she looked at Cassia. “Right, Cassia?”

She heard that fake–sweet voice and felt sick to her stomach.
