Penny’s instinct never failed her in this lifetime. So, even when she hadn’t seen the person who spoke so enthusiastically, she had a feeling it was directed at her.

Everyone who was flocking outside the building intuitively shifted their gaze to where Ray, the top 2 of the star section, was looking. When their eyes fell on Penny, many furrowed their brows. Many in here were from her class, while the others were from other sections. But because Penny studied in the same building, they were familiar with her face, especially with her abnormal height and size.

Turning her head, Penny saw a tall guy walking in her direction with a smile. He had this bright smile on his face to the point his eyes were squinting, a distinct white portion of hair on the front side of his hair, with an air of confidence around him.

He looked friendly, but at the same time, he emitted an unapproachable aura.

The students automatically gave way to Ray, but their eyes remained glued to his figure.

“Do I know you?” Penny asked as she gazed up at him. If he was in the star section, then he must be the same age as Atlas.

Ray’s smile remained. “Not yet, but soon, we will.”

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“Is she Ray’s girlfriend?”

“Dud? Didn’t you hear they don’t know each other?”

“Then what did he mean by saying they’d get to know each other soon?”

Students, especially girls, who had just started getting introduced to the concept of crush and puppy love, were displeased about this. Ray was cool and smart with a handsome look! With his height and body, he looked more like a young adult. He was definitely most young girl’s type. Hearing all these side comments,

Couldn’t stop herself from frowning. “Big brother, I think you got the wrong person,” she said and politely lowered her head. “May you find the person you’re looking for?”

Having said that, Penny cast Ginnie, who was obviously gawking at Ray, a look. Seeing the twinkle in Ginnie’s eyes, her face contorted.

‘Well, Ginnie is young, and this boy is not bad.‘ Penny bumped her shoulder against Ginnie and snapped her back to the current lapse.

“Uh, yes, Penny?”

“Let’s go.

“O – okay!”

Without thinking of anything, Penny walked away before she could find herself in any

foreboding drama. Once a day was enough!

“I’ll see you tomorrow!” Ray exclaimed as he waved happily.

Penny’s face twitched as she cast him a disgusted look. “What’s up with that guy?‘ But she didn’t dwell on it.

On their way, Ginnie couldn’t help but peek at her. “Penny, you really don’t know him?”

“I know him by name. I saw it in the bulletin.”

“Oh.” Ginnie pouted a bit. “But why did he come to see you?”

“I don’t know?” it was probably because she started the bet.

Now that this idea crossed Penny’s mind, she immediately assumed Ray had just put a target on her back.

Oh, well.

Penny had already come prepared when she decided to go back to school. As long as they didn’t cross the line, Penny would be lenient.

“Oh, Penny, do you also take the bus to school?” asked Ginnie curiously.

“Uh…”

“If so, we can take the bus together!” Ginnie suggested, only to bite her tongue as she looked at Penny with surprise. “Uh, I mean, hehe. Nevermind. I don’t even know which direction you are going in. Hehe. Sorry about that. I got a bit ahead of myself. Anyway, I’ll take this direction! See you tomorrow!”

After saying that, Ginnie quickly ran to the gates and turned. Penny, who was left behind, tilted her head to the side.

“What’s wrong with her?” she mumbled, but then she noticed something. “She wasn’t stuttering that much anymore.”@

Penny shrugged and walked out of the gates. As soon as she did, she saw Nina looking around discreetly while holding her phone anxiously.

“What is she doing?” she murmured and then saw a sedan pulled up in front of Nina.

The look of disappointment on Nina’s face was evident, but she still quickly got in before the car sped away.

“Did Mom and Dad provide her a service?” she wondered, assuming something like that was something their parents would do. “But I never saw that car in the Bennet house, though.”

Again, Penny didn’t think much of it.

She already dealt with Patricia this morning. The last thing she wanted to do was get involved in more dramas and make a spectacle of herself. With that thought in mind, Penny quickly spotted their van and got in to make sure she wouldn’t bump into anyone. Only when she was inside did she feel safe. Not long after, Slater, Atlas, and Hugo arrived in the van.

The day went hy without any big events: Penny still tutored Slater after dinner and helped him

with his current housework. Atlas joined them in the library, but he barely spoke a word. But she saw him reading the book she recommended. As for Hugo, he babysat the pets until Penny picked them up from his room.

The next day…

The Bennet children went on with their morning like usual and, just like usual, Penny was sprinting toward her building when they reached the circle. They shrugged it off and the Bennet boys went to their respective buildings.

Patricia was still absent, so Penny’s day was a lot more peaceful than usual. She, however, noticed the strange looks she received when she started talking to Ginnie. But Penny couldn’t care less.

For the first time, Penny thought she finally had a normal day in school. A day that many students find boring, but for her, very peaceful. No one picked on her or stirred trouble for her.

It was perfect… or so Penny thought and hoped.

When class was over, Penny and Ginnie walked out of the building together once more. But just like yesterday, students flocked outside the building. When they came to check, Penny’s face squeezed in the middle of her face.

There, standing outside their building, was Ray, holding one flower he plucked out from the star section’s sacred garden.

‘I don’t feel good about this,‘ Penny thought when Ray’s face brightened up the moment he saw her.

Ray dashed in front of her and offered her the flower. “Penny, can I woo you?”

When those words flew out of his mouth, Penny immediately heard, “FBI, open up!” in her mind. Bruh.
