Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 49

Jolene's head snapped to the side from the force of the blow, a red mark instantly blooming on her cheek.

“Juniper, you dare hit me!” she shrieked in disbelief.

“I just did. Do I need to make an appointment?” Juniper pulled her hand back and calmly wiped it with a wet wipe, the defiance in her eyes practically burning.

“I’m telling the headmistress! I’ll have you expelled from Aurora High!” Jolene clutched her stinging cheek, tears welling up as she glared venomously at Juniper. She never imagined this fake heiress would actually fight back.

“Oh?” Juniper unhurriedly popped a candy into her mouth, her eyes half-lidded. “Good thing there are security cameras. Let’s see who was spouting insults and who threw the first punch. Wanna bet on who gets expelled first?”

At that, Jolene’s eyelashes fluttered. A flicker of panic crossed her face. It was true—she had started the name-calling and had tried to hit Juniper first.

“And another thing.” Juniper took a step forward, and Jolene flinched back, nearly suffocating under the girl’s chilling gaze.

“I just want to study in peace. Don’t mess with me.” Juniper stuffed her hands in her pockets, her gaze sweeping over Jolene and her friends. “I, Juniper, never start trouble, but I’m not afraid of it either,” she warned slowly. “If you mess with me, you’ll face the consequences.”

Her eyes locked onto Jolene’s flushed face, her expression turning glacial. “Next time, it won’t be just a slap.”

“You—” Jolene tried to retort, but the words caught in her throat as she met Juniper’s cold, fierce expression.

“By the way…” After her warning, a faint smile appeared on Juniper’s face as she glanced at the other girls behind Jolene. “What was it you were saying about me earlier?”

“N-nothing,” the other girls stammered, shaking their heads frantically, terrified by the example that had just been made of their friend.

“Right.” Juniper readjusted her backpack, lifted her chin, and commanded with quiet authority, “Move.”
