Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 58 If You Dare To Be Disrespectful Again, Don't Blame Me For Pouring A Bottle Of Water On Each Of You

Gillian and Candy hurriedly rushed over to help Zelena up.

"Violeta, what are you doing? This is going too far!"

"Yeah, Lena has been so kind to you. She brought you water and even opened the bottle for you. It's okay if you don't want to drink it, but why did you pour the water on her?"

After Zelena got up, she was completely soaked.

The cheerleading uniform was already quite thin, and now that it was wet, the fabric clung to her body, making it look very revealing.

The boys nearby were staring.

Kaylee stepped forward to defend Violeta and said, "I saw everything just now. She poured the water on herself and then falsely accused Vio. Are you out of your mind?"

Gillian exclaimed, "What did you say, Kaylee?"

Candy took off her jacket and placed it on Zelena, saying, "Do you think everyone is as deceitful as you? Is there any girl in this world who would resort to such tactics to frame others?"

Gillian added, "Yeah! Do you think it feels good to almost be exposed in front of so many boys here?"

Kaylee looked at the two with a you-are-hopeless expression. She tried hard to restrain her anger and almost cursed.

Violeta pulled her hand, preventing Kaylee from explaining. After that, she said, "Yes, it was me who splashed the water on her just now, so what?"

After saying that, Violeta took a step forward, picked up the unopened bottle of ice water on the nearby table, unscrewed the cap, and poured it directly over Zelena's head.

"Ah!" Zelena did not expect Violeta to be so audacious. She screamed in surprise as the ice water hit her.

With a cold expression, Violeta looked down at the three people in front of her.

"What? Not only did I splash her with water, but I also poured it over her head. So what? Is this against the law?"

Gillian and Candy were both stunned!

The boys nearby were also shocked. They did not expect Violeta to actually do it!

She's impressive!

Zelena stared at Violeta with a bewildered expression. After that, Violeta dropped the bottle and stood before them with her arms crossed.

Her commanding presence made her look like a completely different person from Zelena's impression.

"Zelena, do you really think that mere rumors can affect me now? You underestimate me. No matter how many tricks you have, I will face them all. Let's see if you can handle it."

Zelena's heart trembled. She was actually influenced by Violeta's presence.

Violeta no longer felt the need to explain her innocence. I’m tired of explaining myself all the time.

The thing Violeta detested the most in this world was explaining herself now!

Violeta's actions also surprised Kaylee, but at this moment, Kaylee was in awe of Violeta! She applauded and said, "Well done!"

"Did you see that? That's what happens when you behave like that. If you dare to be disrespectful again, don't blame me for pouring water on each of you!"

After saying that, Kaylee and Violeta went to practice together, without even sparing them a glance.

After the commotion, Zelena and the others went to change their clothes.

The tennis club members who witnessed everything immediately labeled Violeta as the fiercest junior of the year in their minds.

Although she was fierce, there was something strangely captivating about her.

Most people would not have the courage to act like that.

...

It did not take long for the incident between Zelena and Violeta at the tennis club to spread.

The news spread rapidly. On one hand, some claimed that Violeta was behaving erratically at the tennis club due to her association with Jasper.

On the other hand, others asserted that Zelena deliberately provoked Violeta in front of everyone.

Regardless, the two of them had a disagreement over the pageant rankings. It appeared that the competition for the title of campus belle this year was truly fierce!

Despite Zelena's efforts to gain favor at the tennis club, they still voted for Violeta.

Zelena's attempts were in vain.

Over time, Zelena realized that her pursuit of favor at the tennis club was pointless, so she stopped attending.

However, even though Zelena stopped trying to win favor at the tennis club, she still regularly visited the student council, just to catch a glimpse of Nolan.

Zelena always found various excuses to approach Nolan.

She brought the latest cheerleading routine and found Nolan on the court playing with everyone.

When Nolan's friends saw Zelena approaching, they all looked at him and passed the ball to him.

Nolan was drinking water when he noticed everyone's gaze, so he turned his head to see who was behind him.

Nolan noticed Zelena standing in the stands of the stadium, smiling and waving at him.

A hint of annoyance flickered in Nolan's eyes.

Zelena hurriedly ran towards him, saying, "Nolan, I came to show you the video of our new rehearsal. I want to know if we need any improvements so I can discuss it with the team later."

In fact, during Zelena's first visit, Nolan had clearly told her that the cheerleading team could handle their own affairs.

Since everyone knew that the cheerleaders' presence at the competition was merely for entertainment, there was no need to make it overly grand.

However, Zelena seemed completely oblivious and continued to bother Nolan about this matter.

Nolan was speechless, but due to his good manners, he could only politely decline each time.

"Zelena, I already told you last time that you should handle these matters yourselves. You don't need to come to me for my opinion every time."

Zelena replied, "But you're the vice president! Your opinion should be taken into consideration."

With that, Zelena played the video for Nolan.

Although Nolan had a warm personality, he was also very straightforward. He could not discern the subtle differences in the videos. To him, every video Zelena showed him seemed the same.

The only distinction was that Zelena wore different outfits each time she stood in the center.

The entire video solely focused on her, and Nolan was genuinely annoyed.

"Zelena, don't you have anything else to do in your free time?"

Zelena hesitated for a moment. "Nolan, I have been diligently rehearsing during my spare time... "

Nolan nodded, "Well, you can go back to rehearsing then. Next time, I will bring these videos to the club for everyone to vote on."

Zelena remained silent.

If Zelena still did not understand that Nolan was rejecting her, she would be a complete fool!

Yet, Zelena could not comprehend. She had been doing everything according to Nolan's preferences, so why was he still treating her with indifference?

At that moment, Nolan seemed to catch something in his peripheral vision.

He turned his head and saw Violeta and Kaylee coming out of the cafeteria, chatting and laughing.

Zelena noticed Nolan's gaze and looked in that direction as well.
