Chapter 588
“You’re the ringleader bullying your classmates, and I’ll report to the school and give you a serious penalty.” Lieutenant Madden stared sternly at Noreen, showing no favoritism.
“Lieutenant Madden.”
Before Noreen could explain, Lieutenant Madden turned to Daryl and his buddies, “You accomplices won’t escape punishment either! I’ll request the school to have you write a 3000–word reflection, not a word less!”
“Lieutenant Madden.” Daryl and the others wanted to argue.
Lieutenant Madden turned to Roger “You’re to write a 10,000–word reflection today and receive a severe penalty! If you don’t finish, you don’t have to stay in this team.”
Roger knew any words now would be futile, so he stood straight, saluted, and responded loudly, “Yes, sir!”
“Arabella, you guys have had a tough journey. Go rest. As a reward, the entire neurology class can have a day off tomorrow.”
“Thanks, Lieutenant.” Arabella handed him the flag and left with a few people beside her.
“Arabella, do you know Lieutenant Madden?” As soon as they walked far enough, Mya couldn’t help but ask, “I feel like he’s pretty friendly to you.” “No, I don’t.”
But Lieutenant Madden knew her. If she had any problems today, he might not be the only one implicated.
“He’s a snob. It seemed like your family background is pretty solid?” Barry looked at Arabella, suddenly interested in the girl.
“My dad’s just a businessman.”
“Your family’s in business? What kind? My family’s in business, too.” Adair suddenly remembered something, “Hey, this is our first successful challenge together. Why don’t we celebrate? Go for a meal?”
Arabella and Kelly were about to decline when they heard Mya and Joyce simultaneously say, “Sure.”
Previously, Barry and Adair had helped them during the competition, so now they wanted to treat them.
With nothing else to do, Arabella and Kelly went along.
There was a shared commercial street in the university town where students from ten nearby universities could eat and shop.
At a beautiful restaurant Mya and Joyce chose, they saw Yolanda walking in with a boy.
“I feel so bad always having you treat me to meals.” Yolanda feigned modesty, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, displaying a coy demeanor.
The boy looked about 400 lbs and had a cute, simple look. He smiled and said, “As long as you enjoy it, I don’t mind bringing you here daily. Let’s sit over there, and we can enjoy the lake view.”
Yolanda followed his steps, smiling. When she saw Arabella dining, her face immediately turned sour.
The seat the chubby boy chose was right next to Arabella’s table.
Yolanda wanted to sit elsewhere but saw all the other spots were taken, so she had to sit at the table next to Arabella’s, trying to keep a low profile.
“Yoli, what would you like to eat?” The chubby boy scanned the QR code and handed the phone to Yolanda to order.
In the past, Yolanda would never choose a small restaurant like this, nor eat such cheap food. But now, every meal since the extracurricular activities started was paid for by suitors. She might as well save some money when she had the chance,
“That’s it.” After ordering, Yolanda sneakily glanced at the following table. Arabella was eating her food slowly, completely ignoring her. Yolanda finally relaxed a bit. “Kelly, if you hadn’t jumped in the water to save me today, I might have drowned! This drink is for you! Thank you for saving me!” Mya raised her drink to toast Kelly. Kelly smiled and said, “Don’t mention it. We’re all dorm mates, and we have to help each other!”
“Barry, thanks for saving me, and Adair, Kelly, thanks for pulling me ashore.” Joyce picked up a strawberry drink and turned to Arabella, “Arabella, thanks for avenging me!”
Even though she fell into the water, she saw how Arabella dealt with Noreen and the others.
All she could say was Arabella was really excellent!!
In her eighteen years, it was the first time she met such a cool girl!
Kelly had just finished her drink when she heard someone at the next table call Yoli. She turned to see and realized it was someone she knew.
“Yoli, I don’t know if you already have a boyfriend.”
After all the dishes were served, the chubby boy nervously looked at the girl before him, carefully expressing his feelings, “If you don’t have a boyfriend, I don’t know if I’m qualified to be your boyfriend.”
Yolanda lowered her head, thinking this chubby boy had just treated her to a few meals and wanted to be her boyfriend. He must be daydreaming?!
“You certainly have the qualifications, and it’s just that she might not.” Kelly, watching the drama from the following table, shouted, “Her private life is very complicated. Even her fiancé left her because of it. If you don’t mind and are determined, you’ll need to work harder because her standards are high. There’s a gap as wide as Mount Everest between you and the man she wants.”
“Kelly, what are you talking about!” Yolanda was gritting her teeth in anger. She didn’t expect Kelly to reveal her private matters to so many people, making her highly embarrassed!
All eyes were on her.
The chubby boy was stunned. This was too much information to take in at once. How could the innocent girl before him have such a complicated private life and even be abandoned by her fiancé?
Didn’t she say she was busy studying since childhood and had never had a boyfriend? What was going on?
“Berg, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m not eating anymore. If you believe her, then you can stay!” Yolanda angrily grabbed her hat and left.
“Yoli.” The chubby boy didn’t understand what had happened and followed Yolanda.
Kelly felt a bit disappointed that the drama ended so soon.
Some guys were clueless and can’t see through some girls‘ tricks.
Joyce and Mya were all ears about the matter, grilling Kelly for the lowdown. Kelly didn’t spill the beans; just warned them that Yolanda was terrible. They shouldn’t swallow whatever she said.
After they had wolfed down their food, Barry and Adair bolted to play ball while Arabella and the others walked back to the dorm.
From a distance, they spotted Yolanda at the school’s west gate, gabbing with a woman and clearly having a cow.
Only when they got closer did they catch the drift of their conversation.
They heard Yolanda snapping, “What the hell are you doing here!”
