Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 431

When Shanley emerged from the bathroom, he found Juniper’s cheeks as red as an apple. He glanced at her illuminated phone screen and knew exactly what had happened.

“Juniper, want a milkshake?” he asked, a teasing glint in his eyes.

With a sharp crack, a pillow flew through the air and hit him squarely.

...

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Yolanda and Yelena were sitting in a coffee shop.

“What?” Yelena stopped stirring her coffee, her eyes wide. “It was Jolene who went to the hospital, not Juniper?”

“Mhm.” Yolanda nodded innocently and whispered, “Yelena, keep your voice down. There are fans of Jimmie Tate everywhere. You don’t want them to overhear.”

“Absolutely useless!” Yelena leaned back, her face pale with anger. “She swore to me, guaranteed that Juniper would end up with a broken leg. And this is the result?”

She had followed Yolanda’s advice, thinking she had found the perfect way to take care of Juniper while keeping her own hands clean. But it had all been for nothing.

“I heard she fell pretty hard…” Yolanda sipped her coffee, watching Yelena’s fury with a hint of feigned regret. “It would’ve been so much better if Juniper had been the one to fall.”

“Exactly,” Yelena spat, her mood for coffee gone. She gritted her teeth. “Why wasn’t it that bitch Juniper who died? And I heard her grades at Aurora High are pretty good…”

Although, specifics were hard to come by, as the students there were notoriously tight-lipped.

“Exactly,” Yolanda said with a sweet smile, adding fuel to the fire. “Every day she’s alive is another day she’s a threat to you. A menace like her should be dealt with sooner rather than later.”

“You’re right,” Yelena said, looking at Yolanda with gratitude. “I’m so glad I have you to help me plan.”

“You’re my best friend, after all.” Yolanda took Yelena’s hand, her eyes welling up with fake sincerity. “I haven’t really done much. You’re the one doing all the work. I just can’t stand to see Juniper act like a bully.”

Yelena felt a strange unease at her words but couldn’t quite put her finger on it. It didn’t matter. They both had the same target. After the exams, she would finish Juniper for good!

...

After another day on an IV, the toxins were gone, but Juniper still felt groggy. Shanley prepared everything she needed for the exam.
