Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 306 The Sports Day

Although Kaylee was Zelena's direct target, her roommates were suffering due to Zelena's influence.

The student council, under Zelena's sway, was making life difficult for Kaylee's roommates, indirectly isolating her.

Unwilling to accept this, Kaylee sought Violeta's advice.

Understanding the situation, Violeta reassured Kaylee, "There are other ways to deal with this. You don't have to live in the store room."

"What ways?" Kaylee questioned.

Violeta smiled. "We just need to remove Zelena from her position as student council president."

She was aware that getting Kaylee's single room back wasn't an option.

The only solution was to neutralize the source of the problem. They had to deal with Zelena.

Zelena was using her position to pressure her roommates into isolating Kaylee.

It became clear that Zelena's actions against Kaylee were merely a means to an end. Her true target was Violeta, but since Violeta lived off-campus, Kaylee became the next best victim. The student council presidency is typically held by a junior, as was the case with Nolan.

Freshmen and sophomores join as members or department heads to gain experience, while seniors are usually too preoccupied with academics and internships.

Junior year was the perfect time for student council leadership.

Zelena ascended to the student council presidency through a web of bribes and favors, securing the loyalty of key school figures and a majority of council members.

Her knack for exploiting vulnerabilities and promising rewards had become her signature move.
