Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 99

The tennis club members gathered to offer their assistance.

The senior expressed her deep gratitude.

"Thank you all for coming to help."

"We are all members of the same club, so it's only natural for us to assist when needed."

"Yes, if you had informed us earlier, we would have arrived sooner."

The senior nodded gratefully, unable to express anything other than gratitude.

Violeta's considerate actions deserved special thanks.

Kaylee turned to Violeta and said, "Vio, you really thought of everything. If it weren't for everyone's help, we would have surely lost today."

Violeta blinked at Kaylee.

"We won't lose."

Since Violeta had arranged the barbecue stall, she could ask Fiona and her husband to leave at any time.

Once they left, there would be no more free mineral water bottles available.

Compared to the water bottles in the hands of Violeta and the others, the dance club had the advantage over them.

The dance club members managed to snatch two waves of water bottles from behind, momentarily surpassing them.

Because Violeta had a backup plan and knew that the tennis club members would arrive later, she had been waiting without taking any action, allowing the dance club members to enjoy their temporary victory. But their happiness wouldn't last long.

...

Fiona dragged the trash can over and poured the mineral water bottles onto the ground.

The dance club members rushed over, but they still couldn't match the speed of the tennis club members. After all, the tennis club members practiced tennis every day, which improved their speed and agility, something the dance club members couldn't compare to.

They were the first to grab the mineral water bottles, and the members of the dance club glared at them, looking very resentful.

The tennis club members put the mineral water bottles in their bags, and their mockery reached the ears of the dance club members.

"Slowpokes. They might as well throw in the towel."

"Forgive them. No one can catch up to a lightning bolt."

"Hahaha ... "

Fury flared.

The dance club members turned their heads to glare at them.

"What are you looking at? Haven't seen a handsome guy before?"

"I've never seen someone so self-absorbed! Ugh, let's go, girls."

The dance club members gathered together, waiting for Fiona to come and pour the bottles.

But they would be disappointed because the tennis club members were faster than them every time. Some of the boys would step on the bottles and then pick them up, leaving no chance for the dance club.

This repeated twice, and once again, Violeta's bottles surpassed Casey's.

Casey was getting anxious.

"What should we do? If this continues, we will definitely lose. There's only half an hour left!"

Zelena and Hattie exchanged a glance.

There was an inherent difference in physical strength between boys and girls, and if they were to compete directly, they would surely lose.

Continuing like this would only result in missing out again and again.

Zelena's eyes flickered as she came up with a clever plan.

Lowering her voice, she said, "Come here, I'll tell you a solution ... "

Kaylee was counting the bottles when she caught a glimpse of them huddled together, discussing something. Without a doubt, they were devising another plan.

There was still half an hour left, and Fiona's bottle delivery would probably only last for two more rounds.

In other words, the final decisive moment would be within these two rounds.

However, Fiona spoke up at this moment, "Vio, we're running out of bottled water, and there are fewer and fewer students now. The remaining bottles won't last for two rounds. I'll bring over all the remaining ones."

The number of bottles in the final round would be more than double the previous rounds.

If the members of the dance club were to retrieve these bottles, their quantity would far exceed that of the tennis club.

Kaylee said, "So that means in the final round, we absolutely cannot let them get ahead! If we don't snatch them, we'll truly lose!"

The senior furrowed her brows and analyzed, "They're using their bodies as shields. If the guys resort to violence, they will definitely be criticized. How can we continue to thrive in school if our reputation is tarnished?"

A difficult problem lay before them.

Violeta calmly spoke, "In the end, it comes down to speed. Even if they try to block us with their bodies, they can only hold back a portion of our team. So, let's also divide our team and engage with them. Only a portion of us will go for the bottles, and we'll see who can grab more!"

Kaylee nodded. "That's the only option we have now. I believe we will be faster than them!"

Time passed slowly.

The barbecue stall began to close, and the members of the dance club understood that this was the final round.

Victory or defeat hung in the balance!

After packing up their stalls, Fiona came over dragging a trash bin.

As she reached the school gate, everyone focused their attention and rushed towards the gate!

Some members of the dance club firmly blocked the male students from the tennis club, and some even held onto one each.

The male students from the tennis club had anticipated this move, so a few of them stepped forward to engage with the dance club members.

The bottles fell to the ground, scattered all around.
