She’s taking Gordon’s position in the game? A girl like her wants to go against a team of boys? Is she joking? Janet stood under the setting sun and as the warm sunlight shone on her face, she looked like an angel.
Seeing this, The Beasts shook their heads dazedly. How come we never noticed that the boss is so charming? Once Janet was done warming up, she stretched out her slender legs before walking up to the sports coach and whispering to him.
After listening to what Janet had to say, the sports coach was stunned and he asked, “Janet, are you sure?” Even though he witnessed Janet win the high jump championship last year, this was a men’s basketball competition! A girl like her can’t beat a boy in terms of strength and skills. Moreover, she is going to go against Class A’s athletes. Those students are really tall and muscular.
With a blank expression, Janet replied coldly, “Yes, I’ll bear the consequences.” Seeing the serious expression on her face, the sports coach found it difficult to refuse. Besides, if he didn’t let her play, Class F would have to forfeit. With that, he blew his whistle and announced. “Gordon from Class F injured his calf so Janet is going to replace him.” As soon as he finished his sentence, the students from Class A laughed.
“What? Are you sure that a girl like you can compete with us? Are you serious?”
“Looking down on us, are you? How can they let a girl play in a men’s game? Hey, I won’t care even if you cry later!”
“What kind of joke is this?”
“Also, it’s Janet we’re talking about. Although she’s good at fighting, it doesn’t mean that she’s good at basketball!”
A player from Class A patted Dennis’ shoulder and said, “It seems ‘Little Pepper’ is going to play with us. Don’t go easy on her!” Dennis grinned deviously. This is going to be interesting! At the same time, the girls sitting around Emily burst into laughter after they heard the announcement.
“What kind of a joke is Janet pulling? If she doesn’t cry from getting pushed later, I’ll eat sh*t live!” Hearing this, Emily smirked and said, “Isn’t this her usual style? This narcissistic girl really likes to show off.” Madelaine crossed her arms and chimed in with a mocking expression, “I know! She really does like to show off!”
Daisy heard the sounds of mockery around her and she angrily pushed up her glasses and said, “Don’t you know that women are not inferior to men?” Abby put her hands on her hips and agreed readily, “She’s right.” Then, she walked up to Janet and said worriedly, “Janet, if you can’t handle them, you can choose to give up halfway through the game. We won’t blame you.”
The corners of Janet’s lips curled slightly and she replied, “I know.” Then, Abby turned and said to her classmates from Class F angrily, “Don’t any of you feel ashamed of yourselves? Janet has already volunteered but all of you are still looking at her doubtfully.”
Hearing this, students of Class F lowered their heads in embarrassment and glanced at Janet apologetically. Suddenly, a girl from Class F stepped forward and said, “Janet, if you can’t handle them, it’s best that you don’t play.” Another student chimed in and said, “She’s right. Winning or losing is not that important. We’re used to losing anyways.” They were also used to being laughed at.
“Even though we know that you’re really good at fighting, this is a basketball competition. There’s a difference!”
“He’s right. Basketball is a dangerous sport. You’ll be badly injured if the ball hits your head! I was once hit in the face by a basketball and my face was swollen so badly that from that day on, I don’t even dare to go near a basketball.”
Janet narrowed her eyes and there was a cold expression on her face. She didn’t say anything. Seeing that they weren’t getting any reaction from Janet, the students of Class F knew that there was nothing else they could say to persuade her. At that moment, all they wished Class A would be merciful. After all, all the players from Class A were tall, muscular, and strong. If they accidentally threw a ball at Janet’s head, she might faint. Soon after, the competition was about to start and the sports coach asked all the players to do some warm up exercises.
Dexter, Tyler, Luke and Leo stepped forward, poking Janet’s hand as they whispered, “Boss, put your hand out.” Janet looked up and with a blank expression and asked, “What are you all up to?”
“Reach your hand out and let’s do a spirit cheer,” the four of them said with innocent expressions. Janet sighed helplessly but she still reached out her hand. “Let’s get this!” The Beasts’ voices echoed throughout the whole school.
