121 She was the class president, and she knew she should've done something. However, not only did she hesitate for a second, but her officers and even Penny saved her from Ray's fans' wrath.

"It's okay, President!" Penny reassured. "It's not your fault. I mean, I knew you tried, and that's good enough for me." But that didn't feel good enough for the class president.

"Lily" the class president said with a subtle smile. "Just callLily." Penny didn't answer and just smiled.

"Anyway, do you want to eat snacks together?" Lily offered. "I brought ssnacks from Germany. You might want to try them "Oh, but I'm eating snacks with Ginnie to discuss our project." Lily glanced at Ginnie, who had just arrived at Penny's desk. "She can cif you want." "Well... that's not forto decide. Penny shifted her eyes to Ginnie.

Ginnie's shoulders tensed up when Lily and Penny were looking at her. She forced a smile while. her brain almost overheated with all the overthinking. If she refused, then Lily might be and might think Ginnie was trying to hog Penny all for herself.

Although Lily hadn't done anything to her, upset Innie was still scared of rubbing Lily the wrong way.

"Su sure." "Great!" Lily exclaimed, and with that, the three girls went to the cafeteria to eat.

Recess twas different from other grades, so the cafeteria in building 1 wouldn't be so crowded. The girls found a spot in the corner, putting down their snacks. Penny only bought from the cafeteria because she wanted to save the ones she brought for later.

"Lily, can you eat all of that?" Penny couldn't help but notice.

Penny's eyes glossed over the food and pursed her lips. 'They look delicious!' 86 Growing circle "Con, try them. They're really good." Seeing the shimmer in Penny's eyes, Lily couldn't help but push the container toward her.

"Are you sure?" "Of course. After helpingtoday, this isn't enough to thank you." "Well, then, thank you!" Penny didn't hear the rest of the sentence as she happily picked up her spoon to enjoy the dishes. It was only recess, but the food they were eating was good for lunch. Seeing how Penny happily enjoyed the food, Lily was about to start eating as well when she noticed Ginnie.

"Ginnie, don't you want to try them as well?" Ginnie just smiled awkwardly and said, "I - I'm fine.

'But... Ginnie's shoulders trembled, reminded of the last tPatricia offered her sfood. The food was, indeed, nice, but the experience right after wasn't nice. Since Patricia gave her food, Patricia demanded Ginnie to buy her as well.

"Con." Lily moved one of the small food containers. "Just try it" Lily and Penny watched Ginnie in anticipation. They didn't take their eyes off her as if they were waiting for her reaction.

Ginnie's tense expression relaxed as the flavor exploded in her mouth. Her brows rose and somehow her eyes glowed. "Heaven..." "Hehe. Told ya." Penny giggled while Lily smiled in satisfaction.

"You can have more. You should also try this one and this one- this one is a little weird at first, but it's yummy!" Lily excitedly offered the rest of her snacks. As a foodie, Lily and Penny quickly found common ground because Penny enjoyed even the dishes that most people would find weird.

While Penny was trying to understand what she felt about her m growing circle, she beard Miss M Sandford's Sandford's voice from the entrance.

er Everyone intuitively gazed at her, only to see Miss Sandford eyeing Penny. "Penny, cwith me." "Huh?" Ginnie and Lily quickly looked at Penny with slight worry.

"Cwithfor a while. I need to discuss something with you." Penny nodded and followed Miss Sandford to the faculty. On their way, Penny couldn't help but stare at Miss Sandford's back.
