Little did they know that Janet would reply… “Alright, just add me from the group chat.” Janet always had a cold attitude no matter if she felt resentment or hatred. Her master used to tell her that she was too soft-hearted and this would affect big decisions. But sometimes, being soft-hearted was a better option.
Hearing this, her few classmates were dumbfounded and a few girls even started whispering, “I’m not dreaming, am I? Did she just agree to accept our friend request?”
“I’m so jealous of you! I wonder if she would agree to accept mine. After all, I said many hurtful things to her in the past…”
“I heard Emily from Class A insulting Janet in the washroom just now so I rebuked her, which made her storm off angrily!”
“Really? I don’t have the guts to provoke Emily. I’m much too afraid of her…”
“To be honest, I didn’t like Janet at first because she beat up our campus belle, Jennifer, so badly that she dropped out. However, after spending some time with Janet, I think she’s a good person!”
“I feel the same way too! I started thinking that way after watching the basketball competition…”
“Me too!”
Abby frowned and looked at the enthusiastic crowd in frustration. If Janet accepts their friend requests, I won’t be Janet’s only friend anymore… Oh, just thinking of it hurts my heart! Meanwhile, The Beasts were speechless. Boss had attracted many fans after her performance at the basketball competition, but what about us? Why is nobody asking us for our Messenger contact? Why are they treating us as if we’re invisible?
As a result, after Janet nodded in agreement, her fingers never stopped pressing the ‘accept’ button throughout the whole period. All I did was play basketball in front of them. Is it necessary to act this way? After classes had ended for the day, Dennis walked to Class F with a basketball in hand. When everybody saw him wandering around the corridor, they asked, “Hey, Dennis! Who are you looking for?” After a moment of hesitation, Dennis replied, “Hey, can you ask Janet to come over here?”
“Janet?” The students repeated to make sure they hadn’t misheard him. At that moment, Janet was asleep and had no idea that Dennis was looking for her. “Janet,” a classmate whispered as she lightly poked her arm.
“What?” Janet was still half-asleep but everybody heard her cold voice. “Someone’s looking for you!” Her classmates shouted as they pointed at Dennis who stood at the doorway. Upon following their gaze, she thought, Why do I have a feeling that I’ve seen him before…
Getting up from her seat, she slowly walked over. Looking at Dennis, she asked, “Is there something I can help you with?”
“Janet, let’s play a round of basketball after school and we can also have dinner together later,” Dennis said, thinking he was charming.
Basketball? It suddenly dawned on her. No wonder this person looks so familiar! He’s a student from Class A. Seeing that there was a boy trying to flirt with Janet, The Beasts hurriedly got up and ran over. Before Janet could reply, they quickly interrupted, “Hey, Dennis! Are you here to invite her to play basketball? We’ll play with you too!”
“I…” Dennis looked at Janet awkwardly, hoping that she would help him out. Meanwhile, Janet secretly rolled her eyes at him and outright refused, “Sorry, I’m busy!” With that, she returned to her seat. The students from Class F looked at Dennis and sneered, “Why does he even have the balls to invite Janet to play basketball? Did he forget that Class A played dirty during the basketball competition?”
“You’re right. The people from Class A are just so arrogant and ignorant.”
After Dennis heard the words of the students from Class F, he immediately froze. It wasn’t me who tripped Janet; I wouldn’t want to hurt her. However, seeing that Janet had refused him, he had no choice but to leave. When his classmates from Class A saw that he had returned empty-handed, they hurriedly asked in concern, “Where’s ‘Little Pepper’? Did she agree to your invitation?”
Dennis angrily hit the ball and muttered, “No!”
Then, the students from Class A sneered, “What’s so good about ‘Little Pepper’ anyways? She just knows how to play basketball! There’s this saying that if a girl is fierce, she would surely have violent tendencies!”
“I agree. An obedient and elegant girl would never pick a fight with others.”
