Lily and Ginnie jumped in front of Penny defensively, wearing their fierce front as if they would fight to death for Penny. Penny's small figure quickly disappeared from the fans' sight.

"Why are you here? Are you waiting here to ambush Penny!?" Lily raised his chin. "If you came here to cause trouble, then I'll call the headmaster!"

"Li-Lily is rlright!" Despite the apparent fear in Ginnie's voice, she is forced to keep a stand for her first friend. "Try try to hurt Penny, and I'll tell Ray!" for her first friend. "Try - try to he Ginnic quickly bit her tongue and covered her mouth when she mentioned Ray. She didn't have a powerful backing and Lily already used the headmaster. She could only think of Ray to scare them off. "What are you kids' saying?" the five girls, who were kicked out of school because of "that" incident, frowned. "We didn't come here to fight Penny, duh?"

Lily and Ginnie were still skeptical.

"If you didn't come here to apologize, then that's alright. However, what do you mean by cause and effect?" she continued, scanning the faces before her. "Whether I rejected your male god or rode along with his silliness, I'm pretty sure you'll still stir trouble for me."

The girls' faces stiffened a little as they cleared their throats. That was right.

"Well, that's not the point!" one of the girls chimed. "The point here is -"

"You crossed the line," Penny uttered coldly and fiercely, cutting her off mid-sentence. "I don't mind the silly pranks you pulled on an innocent thirteen-year-old. I can indulge with you a lot longer - even for the rest of the school year. However, you crossed the line. Dropping a flower pot straight at someone can kill that's not a prank, but attempted murder"

"But we didn't do that!" one of the girls harrumphed angrily.
