Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Team Assessment

Kaylee's crying gave Violeta an instant headache. She swiveled back to her bunk, announcing. "I need to rest now. If you're planning to cry, go do it outside."

Zelena became the talk of the freshmen after the incident. Cleverly, to repair her image, she organized the delivery of ten whole roasted lambs, winning back some favor.

Zelena obtained a forged sick leave report that hinted at her connections with the school higher-ups. The instructor looked the other way, the aroma of roasted lamb was just too tempting!

Later that night, everyone gathered for a feast of roasted lamb, excluding Kaylee and Violeta. Despite the tempting aroma, Kaylee heeded Violeta's advice and opted for diligent ointment application and a break from spicy food.

Violeta was a bit of an oddball. She sat aside, nibbling on her snacks.

Kaylee approached Violeta, murmuring. "Is she intentionally trying to mess with me or what? With my face under stress and looking so damn sensitive and ugly, she's got the nerve to Indulge in roasted lamb!" "Hey, I got my hands on this ointment through someone. I used it for two days, and my face genuinely improved. It's like magic and super affordable. How did you find out about it, by the way?" "Oh, I've got some jello here. Want some?"

The ever-talkative Kaylee positioned herself next to Violeta, keeping the conversation alive without a break, Violeta hardly acknowledged her presence, and Kaylee happily continued her one-woman show, Initially, Kaylee thought Violeta was just acting distant. However, after spending more time together, Kaylee realized that Violeta didn't enjoy talking but had a genuinely good heart.

Since the entire class, except Violeta and Kaylee, skipped Zelena's roasted lamb treat, they became the talk of the town the next day.

"Oh my gosh! I nearly had a heart attack looking at her terrifying face!"

"Yeah, it could be some contagious disease. I'm steering clear, anyway."

"Well, birds of a feather, right?! Now she's stuck hanging out with Violeta, the other weirdo in the class! Judging by her sorry state, I bet Kaylee's face is probably in ruins!"

Zelena intensely disliked Kaylee, but her primary aim was to ensure Violeta had neither friends nor backups.

To sabotage their friendship. After a couple of days, Zelena brought a set of high-end skincare products to give Kaylee, hoping to win her.
