85 Winning the first round
Meanwhile, in building 1, Penny’s classmates watched some students from other classes set up something in their room. Some were snickering quietly while others showed concern. The class president tried to stop them, but against Ray’s fans, she felt powerless.
The members of Ray’s fan club surrounded the class president’s desk to keep her in her seat.
“You can’t just do this in our class!” the class president angrily roared, but the girls wearing these sashes across their bodies and carrying accessories that had Ray’s face on them looked down at her sternly.
“If I were you, just stay there quietly! Unless you want to be like her too!” “That’s right. That girl dared humiliate Ray in front of many people!”
“She should be lucky and jumping for joy because Ray found an interest in her. “She put this upon herself. We, as Ray’s fans, have to do something for him!”
The class president clenched her teeth. “This is unreasonable. Did Ray ask you to do this?” “Hmph! He doesn’t need to ask. We’re his fans for a reason, one girl remarked, and the rest nodded. “So, it’s better if you just sit back and watch how we teach this girl a lesson.
The class president couldn’t help but clasped her hands tightly. This wasn’t just about Penny, but she was the class president. If Miss Sandford heard about this, it would be the class president’s responsibility.
Her shoulders shook at the thought, but against four girls one year higher than her, she couldn’t really do anything. It wasn’t like she was afraid she would make an enemy out of them, but she was scared that their family would get involved.
She glanced at her classmates, but none of them were willing to help. Those who sided with the class president were also surrounded. They felt like they were being held hostage.
Nina, who also came early today after receiving the group message about Ray’s fans‘ plans, couldn’t help but smile subtly. She sat on her chair gracefully, waiting for Penny to arrive. ‘She saved herself yesterday, but for humiliating the top 2 from the star section… let’s see how long she’ll last.’Nina mentally laughed, thinking that she didn’t have to do anything for Penny to suffer. The entire world was siding with her, and this was Penny’s karma for stealing what was “supposed to be hers. 2
Just the simple thought of Penny’s misery put Nina in a great mood.
Ginnie, on the other hand, bit the tip of her thumb nervously. She wanted to give Penny a heads–up, but she didn’t have a phone and she didn’t think Penny had one as well. Moreover, just like the officers, she was surrounded because she was always with Penny whenever they were walking out of the building.

‘Penny… please don’t go to school today!” Ginnie prayed, but at the same time, she heard the lookout shout.

“She’s here!”
The room fell into a momentary silence before the members of Ray’s fans‘ club rushed inside to hide. Some of Penny’s classmates held their breaths in anticipation while others looked at the door apologetically.
For the next full minute, no one said a word as they waited for Penny to come.
When the door slid open and a figure stepped inside, the students who were standing on either side of the door pulled the strings. The bucket of dirty water that they set up over the door tipped over, pouring its content straight into the person who entered.
SPLASH!
Those who tried to stand up against this quickly looked away, as if they couldn’t bear to see Penny’s situation. At the same time, the silence was immediately replaced with mischievous laughter as everyone saw the water pour down on Penny. Their waves of laughter, however, were short–lived when their eyes fell on Penny.
“My horoscope is correct, after all!” Penny exclaimed happily, making those who looked away peek back at her.
There, standing by the door, was Penny under the big umbrella. She had this bright smile on her face. She was also wearing boots today to protect her shoes from getting splashed by water. “Everyone seems to be in a good mood too!” she exclaimed. “Isn’t it a good day?”
After saying that, Penny casually walked into the classroom and closed the umbrella. She went to the corner and placed her umbrella and boots in there. While she was casually arranging her things, everyone could only look at her in a trance.
Even when she sat down on her spot, the eyes didn’t leave her.
‘Penny… ‘Ginnie heaved a sigh of relief and smiled back when Penny winked at her. I shouldn’t have doubted her.”
“Okay, class… what’s this?” Miss Sandford came after a few minutes and noticed the water at the entrance.
Only this time did everyone snap out of their trance. Moving their attention to Miss Sandford, the students opened and closed their mouths, but no words came out. All they could do was point at the members of Ray’s fans‘ club to do the explaining.
Following where all the fingers were pointing, Miss Sandford saw some students from other classes and grades.
“What’s happening here?” Miss Sandford felt this unpleasant intuition. However, no one answered. “Miss President, what’s happening here?”
The class president cleared her throat and rose from her seat. As soon as she did, she quickly received a deathly glare from everyone. Her breath hitched, but with Miss Sandford looking, she had to do her responsibility.
Miss Sandford would take care of her, right?

“Teacher, Ray’s fans club are –”
“They’re trying to do some volunteered cleaning!” Penny chimed in happily, earning everyone’s attention again. “Teacher, they’re doing some good causes, but they accidentally spilled the
