When the last school bell rang, Penny remained seated in her chair. She was holding her hands in front of her, deep in thought. Seated on the seats around her were Ginnie and Lily. The two of them cast each other a look before their eyes fell on Penny.
"Penny, are you scared that Ray is waiting for you outside?" Ginnie asked nervously.
"If you want, I know a different way to avoid him," Lily suggested quietly, flinching when Penny moved her eyes but not her head. "But it's a really long way compared to the main entrance."
Without a second hesitation, Penny said, "I'll take it." She would take it even if the route was hell and then back in here.
After a full day of repelling all these stupid pranks, Penny was a little exhausted. She might have dealt with them in style, but she didn't want to deal with the culprit for now. She was already satisfied that all of Ray's minions were exhausted to the bones by the end of the day.
