CHAPTER 89
89 Am I really not her type?
When the last school bell rang, Penny remained seated in her chair. She was holding her hands in front of her, deep in thought. Seated on the seats around her were Ginnic and Lily. The two of them cast each other a look before their eyes fell on Penny.
“Penny, are you scared that Ray is waiting for you outside?” Ginnie asked nervously.
“If you want, I know a different way to avoid him,” Lily suggested quietly, flinching when Penny moved her eyes but not her head. “But it’s a really long way compared to the main entrance.”
Without a second hesitation, Penny said, “I’ll take it.” She would take it even if the route was hell.
and then back in here.
After a full day of repelling all these stupid pranks, Penny was a little exhausted. She might have dealt with them in style, but she didn’t want to deal with the culprit for now. She was already satisfied that all of Ray’s minions were exhausted to the bones by the end of the day.
Ray would have his judgment day soon.
“Uh, okay” Lily nodded, but just as they got up, Penny spoke again.
“If it’s a long way, I’ll go myself. You don’t have to walk with me since the pickup point is just near outside the building”
Lily shook her head. “I asked to be picked up outside the school from today onwards. So, it’s
okay.”
Penny and Ginnie looked at Lily with a little conflict. However, Lily just smiled.
Yesterday, she wanted to walk with Ginnie and Penny. However, since she was being picked up in a different area, she had to part ways with them. Hence, she asked her driver to pick her up where Ginnic and Penny separated so Lily could bid them farewell there.
“Oh, actually, I have a better idea!” Lily’s eyes lit up. “How about I drop you off at your houses from now on? That would be great!”
Ginnie’s smile cracked while Penny did not react.
“Uhm… I’m okay” Ginnie laughed awkwardly. “I’m more used to commuting home.”
If Lily saw how small her house was, she might change her mind about her. It was the first time. someone was being genuinely kind to her and having people to eat with her during recess and lunch was a whole new experience for her. Ginnie didn’t want this friendship to end so soon.
“I also don’t think I’d be allowed to ride with you,” Penny frowned, thinking about saving herself from the questions once they found out where she lived.
“It’s okay!” Lily took their direct refusal with an open heart. “My offer still stands, so feel free to join me whenever you want.”
Penny smiled warmly as her heart softened up a little.
Having friends wasn’t her goal. Penny only entertained Ginnie because of the project and

comfortable enough. Lily, on the other hand, was more like an accident. Her impression of Lily was neither good nor bad, but it turned out she was actually a sweet girl.
Overall, they were very nice girls, regardless of their background.
Meanwhile, outside building 1, Ray fixed his tight collar while waiting for Penny to come out. As usual, some students were flocking around as if he was some sort of a spectacle. But he ignored
them all.
In his eyes, all these people were simply a part of the backdrop. They weren’t worth his time, his attention, or even his breath. He came here with a mission, and that was to save his pitiful classmates in the star section. 2
“They should thank me for putting my reputation on the line for their sake,‘ he told himself happily. But I find this more enjoyable than I thought. I wonder how she will repel me this time?”
Just the mere thought of how Penny would react once he saw him wearing a cassock filled him with a thrill. Yesterday, she shut him up with a holy cross. He was so stunned, he was laughing about it all night. Hence, he spent all evening thinking of how to get her attention.
‘She’s so small and cute, but that look of disgust is very entertaining‘ he thought. She wouldn’t think I’ve come prepared today, would she?”
Ray’s smile stretched as his expression brightened up.
The girls who were watching him from the sidelines couldn’t help but hear the angels singing when he smiled. He was truly charming at every angle. They could watch him all day and wouldn’t get bored.
Minutes had passed, and the students that were coming out of the building lessened. When no one was coming out anymore, the smile on Ray’s face slowly faded.
“Huh?” He glanced up at the building. “Is she not coming out to avoid me?”
The corner of his lips slowly curved down. “That’s not good. What if I stay here overnight? Would she also stay inside overnight?”
Thinking about Penny’s previous reactions when they first met, Ray didn’t doubt it was something she would do. He shrugged and still waited. But when it was getting a little late, hist mood also hit rock bottom.
“Am I really not her type?” he wondered, checking the time. “If this is the game she is playing, then I concede.”
Ray shrugged and turned to leave. Although he wasn’t serious about dating a thirteen–year–old, he also didn’t want her to stay in the building just Avold him. He could be ruthless and unreasonable at times, but he wasn’t that heartless. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Little did he know, Penny wasn’t even in the building anymore, but was already on the way

home.

Penny giggled mischievously as she caught Ray still standing outside the building when the van started moving.
‘Next time, I’d bring my Halloween costume or just act possessed to repel his saint outfit,‘ she snickered inwardly.
While Penny was concocting her evil plans to repel the bad omen named Ray, her brothers kept looking at each other meaningfully. Penny arrived in the van late. So while waiting, Hugo couldn’t help but bring up Penny’s birthday, which was… tomorrow.
