Her flexibility was impressive, and she pulled off several difficult moves throughout her performance, making the crowd burst into applause and gasp in amazement.
When the music stopped. Rosie paused, slightly out of breath.
Her forehead was beaded with sweat, her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes shone bright like two stars.
Rosie’s gaze landed on Natalie first. Natalie watched her, smiling slightly, and then started clapping for her.
The applause was gentle, but in the silent hall, it echoed clearly.
Gradually, more people came back to their senses and began to clap along.
“Oh my god, she’s incredible!”
“Is that ballet? Has she trained in ballet? No wonder she moves with such elegance.”
“Who said she was fat? She’s just fit and strong. Look how steady she is when she dances.”
“Yeah, I don’t see anything unappealing about her. She’s adorable, and honestly, she’s not even that chubby, just a bit curvy
Rosie was grinning from ear to ear, her dimples popping out.
She turned to Arianna. This time, she wanted to prove herself instead of always leaning on Natalie.
“So, what do you think? Am I good enough for the cheer squad?” Rosie asked.
Arianna gritted her teeth. She never expected Rosie to actually know how to dance. She thought Rosie had only leaviest a bu as a kid and would be out of practice by now, especially since she wasn’t as slim as before.
Arianna had been waiting for Rosie to embarrass herself, but instead, Rosie ended up stealing the spotlight
Arianna forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. “Of course.”
Remi was the first to hype things up. “Whoop whoop! Welcome to the basketball club’s cheer squad he

Ryan scoffed, “Why would she play with your In telling you back off!
Evan just grinned Of course Ryan! Let’s all play together

Everyone watched Ryan and Evan trying to impress Natalie and getting all jealous, and couldn’t help but gossip about it.
“Only the campus queen Natalie could make these two act like this!”
“Natalie, you’re gorgeous! Can you make those two give you some space?”
But some people were so deep in their ship that nothing else mattered.
“Oh my god, the rumors about the campus heartthrob and the department stud are actually true! Seeing it for myself is still wild, hot guys really do stick together.”
Ryan was genuinely stunned.
Natalie was just about to hand Rosie a tissue, but before she could even get her hand out of her pocket. Eamon was already there, handing it over.
“You danced really well. Here, use this to wipe off your sweat,” Eamon said.
Rosie was even more delighted by the compliment and the tissue. “Thanks, Eamon!”
Natalie looked at Rosie. “Ready to head out?”
Rosie finally pulled her gaze away from Eamon and nodded. “Yeah, let’s go! Bye, Eamon!”
Remi hurried to catch up with them, calling out, “Hey, Evan, Ryan, you guys actually know Natalie?”
Ryan and Evan just ignered him. “Natalie, do you have class this afternoon? Wanna shoot some hoops?”
‘Come on, all you ever think about is basketball. Natalie, let’s go play a murder mystery this afternoon instead.
Arianna watched them walk out, her fists clenched in anger.
If looks could kill, Natalie would be full of holes by now.
Arianna thought, ‘Emma was right. Natalie is really bad news.
What’s so great about her anyway? She’s just a little prettier and good at basketball. Why is everyone so obsessed with he
She rolled her eyes, pulled out her phone, and sent a voice message to benma. Emma, Natale just teamed up with sestav to bully me..
The next day, after Natalie finished her 8 am, class, she had the rest of the morning off and was about to head house

Oh my god, is that Jason?”
“Holy crap! It really is him! I can’t believe I’m seeing a real A–lister!”
“He’s even hotter in person than on TV! Those legs, that face, that aura. I’m literally losing my mind!”
“Why is he even here at our school?”
“I think he’s filming a variety show.”
“Yeah, it’s a variety show called ‘Running Youth

“Running Youth? That super popular outdoor variety show? So does that mean a bunch of celebrities are coming too?”
Natalie stopped in her tracks the moment she heard the name Jason.
Jason? So Jason’s really up ahead?‘ Natalie thought to herself.
She arched an eyebrow, turned around, and headed back to check it out.
Jason, a glammed–up actress, and two cameramen were stuck right in the middle of the crowd, barely able to move at all.
For some reason, Jason’s agent signed him up for this variety show, saying his new movie was about to premiere and he needed more publicity.
The catch was, the location and tasks were all picked by random draw.
Jason and the actress drew a college in Harbor City, he got to choose which school exactly, and their mission was to team up with a student, track–down five maps hidden all over campus, and finally grab the final pass card
Even with security guards surrounding them, there was no way they could actually carry out their mission properly
And not everyone in the crowd had good intentions.
Just now, people were taking close–up shots right in their faces, grabbing at Jason’s sleeve, trying to shove gifts into his art and someone even took advantage of the chaos to touch the actress’s hair.
The security guards were doing their best, but there were just too many people, like a pot of porridge boiling, ver no matter how much you stirred, it just wouldn’t calm down.
Jason was getting jostled left and right by the crowd, his mission card crushed in his sweaty hand. He kept up that celebrats smile, but it was starting to look pretty forced. He was about to crack
The actress was having an even rougher time Her heels got stomped on again and again, her skirt was smeared with des and her smile was shipping fast. The corners of her mouth drooped, her eyes were turning red and she looked like she was
about to cry
Jason had to protect himself from getting hurt all while trying to shicht his partner at the same Tutic
Their phones had been taken away by the show, so they couldn’t reach out to anyone for help.
Jason picked Redvale University hoping to bump into Ryan or Natalie
But he d only been there for less than five minutes
