Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 101 Five Extra Minutes

Bringing out ten extra bottles all of a sudden, the tennis club members would look ridiculous if they agreed!

"Game time is over, and now you show up with ten more bottles. It's obvious you did this because you noticed we had more than you!"

"You said we are violating the rules? You are the one against the rules!"

"We will never accept this, those ten bottles shouldn't be included!"

Casey stood with hands on hips, "Why shouldn't they be included? Lena is also a participant, and she collected her bottles on campus earlier, so they should count. Besides, if you have bottles, you can add them now! Do you have any? No? Then quit complaining!"

Zelena, looking innocent, said, "I found these ten bottles during the game time. I just forgot to put them in the bag until now."

Kaylee exclaimed, "Zelena, you know better than anyone whether you forgot these bottles or not!"

The tennis club members protested loudly, "We refuse to accept this last-minute addition of bottles!"

The dance club members argued back, "Why bother voicing disagreement? You're not in the student council, and whether it's significant or not hinges on their decision! Plus, everyone forgets sometimes. If Lena hadn't picked up those bottles earlier, do you think she could have just made them appear?"

The tennis club members were speechless.

The spectators didn't seem bothered by the disorder and joined the uproar, adding to the confusion of the scene.

Hattie folded her arms and stated icily, "I've heard that the vice president of the tennis club is also the student council president. It seems like the tennis club members might be working together with the studen council and won't support us."
