Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

The morning sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the school's courtyard. The sky was a brilliant blue, with just a few wispy clouds scattered about. A gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers through the air.

As the students gathered outside, excitement buzzed through the crowd. They were lined up in front of the buses, eagerly waiting to head to the swimming pool party. The atmosphere was lively, with chatter and giggles filling the air.

Jasmine, however, had other plans. She spotted milicent and snickered, nudging her friends. "Hey, look at her," Jasmine said, her voice dripping with condescension. "Who's going to pay for her swimming outfit? She looks like she's wearing last year's hand-me-downs."

The group of girls surrounding snickered and laughed, their eyes fixed on milicent. "Poor girl," one of them chimed in. "Does she even have money to pay for the swimming costs?"

Milicent's face flushed with embarrassment, but she stood tall, refusing to let Sophia's taunts get to her.

Milicent's friend noticing the commotion, stepped forward, her expression disapproving. "Hey, Jasmine, knock it off. Leave milicent alone."

Sophia's grin faltered for a moment before she regained her composure.

"Oh, 'shes defending the poor girl," she sneered. "How cute."

Yes ...

how cute but what is more cuter is that I bought her a swim suit

from the bali swim company

oppa

The girls watching screamed in awe as Ray surprised Milicent with a stylish swimsuit. "Oh my gosh, Ray, it's gorgeous!" Milicent exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.

Jasmine and her friends exchanged disapproving glances, their faces twisted in annoyance. "What's going on here?" Jasmine muttered, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Ray's suddenly a fashion expert?"

the guy who doesn't talk to anyone

oh you guys are now a thing I see

Fiona one of her friends rolled her eyes. "Yeah, and why's he getting Milicent gifts? Trying to get us pissed

The tension between the two groups was palpable, with Milicent basking in the attention and Jasmine's crew seething with resentment.

But just before the argument could go further Mrs Johnson walked over.

Hello student let's begin to board

The bus doors opened, and the students began to board. Ray offered milicent a reassuring smile and gestured for her to go ahead of him. "Let's get out of here before Jasmine causes more drama."

Soon they arrived at the pool,

As they arrived , the students poured out of the buses, excitement buzzing in the air. The sun beat down on the concrete, radiating heat. The sound of laughter and chatter filled the atmosphere.

The pool sparkled like a blue jewel, surrounded by lounge chairs and colorful umbrellas. Students were already changing into swimwear, towels slung over shoulders. The smell of sunscreen and chlorine hung in the air.

Ray and his friends made their way to the pool, eager to dive in. Jasmine and her gang were already at the poolside, soaking up the attention. Milicent slipped in beside Ray, looking a bit self-conscious but relieved to be away from Jasmine's jabs.

The pool party was shaping up to be a blast, with music playing and people splashing in the water. Ray grinned at milicent t. "Ready to dive in?"

He asked her?

yes am Ready she mutteredy

Milicent stood at the pool's edge, took a deep breath, and launched herself into a perfect cannonball. The splash was massive, sending water droplets flying everywhere. Her friends gasped in surprise, then cheered as she surfaced, laughing.

As she swam, Milicent's strokes were smooth and efficient. She dove underwater, doing flips and twists, her body gliding effortlessly through the water. When she resurfaced, she grinned, her hair slicked back.

Ray, Sophia, Jasmine and Ryder watched in awe, impressed by her skills. "Wow, Milicent, you're natural!" Ray exclaimed.

Milicent beamed with pride, swimming laps with ease. Her diving skills and swimming prowess had definitely caught everyone's attention.

The swimming exercise was great and

It was time to eat:

As they sat down to eat, the students raved about the delicious food. "This is so good!" one of them exclaimed. Another student asked the teacher, "Who made this amazing food?"

The teacher smiled proudly. "Actually, it was our very own Milicent who provided the recipe for our caterers."

The students' eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, Milicent, you're a culinary genius!" someone shouted. Milicent blushed, looking pleased.

Ray, Sophia, and all congratulated Milicent on her culinary skills. "You're a woman of many talents!" Sophia Milicent friend said with a grin.

Milicent smiled, feeling happy and appreciated. "Thanks, guys. I love cooking and trying out new recipes!"

After Ray informed me of the swimming pool party I did thought it wise to speak to Mrs Johnson and suggested a New Recipe I learnt to be tried out

And am grateful she accepted

No Way Ryder girlfriend cut in

"I mean, it's just a bunch of sugar and carbs. Anyone can make something this bland."

Why would Mrs Johnson approve of a blank idea of such ,

The students around her fell silent, surprised by her harsh words. Milicent's smile faltered, but she tried to brush it off

Ray stepped in, defending Milicent. "Hey, Jasmine, come on. Everyone loved the food. Don't be so harsh."

"Don't try to correct my girlfriend you son of a bitch "Listen Ray I can literally accept anything but not insulting my mom

keep her out of this!!

-and if I don't?" he taunted, clearly looking for a reaction.

Ray's jaw clenched, his fists tightening at his sides. "You'll regret it," he warned, his voice dripping with intensity.

The air was charged with tension as the two faced off, their animosity palpable.

"Well Jasmine shrugged. "I'm just keeping it real. If you ask me, it's not that impressive."

and shouldn't instigate a fight.

That's enough class, senior Petra chipped in

Let's enjoy the moment

and not make a fuss out of it.

The party began to wrap up, and the students started saying their goodbyes. Despite Jasmine's comments, Milicent's smile returned as she received more compliments and thank-yous from her classmates.
