The star students gained interest in Penny when Ray mentioned this new student could push all the star students a rank down. Their interest grew even more when Ray admitted even the rank one would lose his spot.
What they knew about Penny was that she was a thirteen-year-old student. They heard she was the smallest in her class, or perhaps her entire grade. But now that their eyes landed on her figure, they all quietly agreed she was rather small than her age. They even doubted if this little girl was Penny or if they were just overthinking.
"Is that… her?" Max muttered, confused. "Or is a kindergartener got lost?"
Cassandra blinked. "She's cute."
"How small," the guy with glasses commented softly. "Ray… are you sure?"
Kiara didn't say anything, but the lines on her forehead deepened. The more she stared at Penny, the deeper her lips curved down. She glared at Ray, who was pursuing this girl.
