Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 65 Asking For Trouble?

Lunch in the cafeteria was served in disposable lunch boxes. The food was average, but Violeta wasn't picky and enjoyed her meal with everyone.

Kaylee took out a can of tuna fish from her bag and invited, "Vio, try this. My mom made it herself, and it's delicious! I can eat two servings of pasta alone with this!"

When they set out this morning, Kaylee's mother had prepared it just for her. Kaylee generously shared it with Violeta.

Violeta smiled, picked up a piece with her, and tasted it. She said, "It's delicious. Kay, your mom is a great cook."

Kaylee replied, "If you have time, you should come to my house for a meal!"

"Sure."

Hearing their conversation, a nearby member laughed and said, "Violeta and Kaylee, when we win the competition, our club will organize some activities for celebration."

Kaylee asked eagerly, "What? Really? Tell us more!"

They started discussing it excitedly while Violeta quietly enjoyed her meal.

When her lunch box was empty, she put down her purse and glanced at them. Since they were engrossed in their conversation, Violeta didn't want to disturb their enthusiasm. She said to Kaylee, "I'll throw away the lunch box."

"Okay, go ahead."

Violeta picked up her lunchbox and left. When she was about to throw it away, several girls emerged from the corner and blocked her way. They stared at Violeta with hostile gazes.

The sunlight streaming through the glass window illuminated the corridor and cast a long shadow on Violeta.

"Are you Violeta? Let's have a talk!"

Violeta's eyes narrowed slightly.
