Can’t let her play the drama heroine and continue to hook up with Gary anymore.’
Nicole soon arrived at the rehearsal hall. Most of the people had arrived except Gary.
Jack and others looked at Nicole. “Nicole, do you know whereGary is?”
Nicole shot a knife-like look at him, and it struck Jack dumb.
‘Nicole doesn’t look too happy.’
“What does he have to do with me? We will just proceed with the rehearsal without him.” Jack agreed
with trepidation.
As Nicole left straight away to talk to the others, Wayne elbowed Jack and asked, “What’s wrong with
you that you’re so afraid of her?”
Jack shot a glare at him. “Didn’t you see the look in her eyes? She looked as if she was going to kill
someone.” He felt her persona was stronger than Gary’s, so much so that it sent a chill up his spine.
“I think you’re just wimpy.” Wayne turned and walked away.
Just then, someone walked in. Everyone looked over and saw that it was Raine and her classmates.
When Bradley saw this, he immediately stepped forward. “It is the rehearsal time of our class now.
Please leave.”
Raine glared at Bradley.” We are the twelfth graders, your seniors. Who are you to bargain with us?”
Bradley was intimidated, and his face darkened. “What does this have to do with grades? The time is
arranged by the student union, and it is our turn for rehearsal. Please leave now and stop interrupting
us.”
They had only gotten a day of rehearsal time out of three days. So Bradley and others needed to make
the most out of it and would allow no one to interrupt them,
Raine looked at her companion and saw that Bradley would not budge.
Her companion stepped forward and said in a sarcastic tone of voice, “Are you sure it is your class’s
rehearsal day? But I remember today is our turn.”
“Obviously, it’s ours. Stop messing around.” Lulu was anxious.
Jack and Wayne looked at Raine haughtily. “Raine, are you here to pick a fight?”
“If so, don’t blame us for being rude.” Wayne clenched his fists.
Raine was not intimidated. “Are you getting physical in school? Beware of getting expelled.”
Jack and Wayne were startled. “Don’t get an inch and want to take a mile, Raine.”
“So what if I do?” Raine hissed, not taking them seriously. “We remember today is our rehearsal day.
Check with the student union if you’re not happy with it.”
Bradley and others could not help but look at each other. The student union was in the university
department, and going there back and forth would take at least an hour, which meant they would have
one less hour for rehearsal. Raine was obviously trying to create trouble here, but they could do
nothing about her.
Just then, Nicole came up. “First comes, first serve. We started rehearsals before you came. Aren’t you
guys the ones who have a problem with this? That being the case, go to the student union to sort
things out.”
Raine’s face contorted with anger at seeing that Nicole was so glib-tongued. Her friend recognized
Nicole by this time. “How dare you interject when we, the twelfth graders, speak? You really need to be
taught a lesson.”
There was a malicious look in the girl’s eyes, and she raised her hand to hit Nicole as soon as her
voice trailed off.
Raine looked on triumphantly. She did dare to pick a fight with Nicole for fear that her grandfather
would censure her. But if it was her friend who hit Nicole, it would have nothing to do with her. D .
So she just watched. As her friend raised her hand to slap Nicole, some grabbed her friend from
behind, stopping her hand in the air.
The girl turned her head with anger, and Raine also subconsciously looked back. They both were
surprised to see Gary’s handsome yet stony face. Still grasping the girl’s hand, Gary threw her straight
out and away with a hiss. He literally threw her away without the slightest worry that his action would
injure her.
The girl fell straight to the ground as if she had not reacted to what was happening.
When she knew what happened, she scolded angrily, “Gary, I’m your senior, for God’s sake. Are you
crazy?”
