Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

210 Day 1 of the Foundation Week.

-Summit School of Excellence Academy: Day 1 of the Foundation Week.

Penny's fan club hosted a horror booth for the foundation event with spromotions of free picture taking with Penny. Of course, Penny didn't agree with that. Thus, all those who purchased the tickets were horrified when they cto find out it was a scam! The free picture with Penny was actually just a standee of her a zoomed-in full-body size of Penny that had the sheight as a mascot. Sfound it hilarious, while others left in dismay.

As for Penny, she enjoyed playing the ghost and giving those who entered their booth a scare.

"Rawr!!" Penny popped out of the box she was hiding in. Her face was painted with white and sblack paint around her eyes. There was sfake blood dripping around her face, adding to the horror of their customers. "Kyah!!!" the girl, Penny's umpteenth victim, squealed in horror and clutched the person with her.

Seeing them flee with their tails in between their legs, Penny giggled mischievously.

"Hihihi-! On to the next victim. Mwahaha!" This was fun, she thought, as she slowly went down to the box to scare their next victim.

Little did she know, outside the classroom, the line was long and the first in the line at the moment was none other than a few star students.

Lily, who was giving permission to the next customer, looked at the people before her. She gulped as she gazed at the tall teenage boy standing before her.

"Isn't this...?" "Hello, Miss President-!" Popping out behind the young man's back was Ray's bright face. "It's us! We heard you were hosting a horror booth this year, but were more interested in the free picture with Penny-!" Lily smiled awkwardly. "Yes..." she said as she accepted the ticket the guy was handing over to her. Even how she tore the paper as a process before entering showed her nervousness. Event so, she tried her best to remain composed.. They might be the star section students, but they were also clients. Moreover, a few of them were already members of Penny's fan club thanks to Ray and whatever means he did to make them sign up. "Here." Lily gave back the other piece of the ticket and offered a smile. "Enjoy the experience! A-picture with Penny at the end of the tunnel!" The boy standing in the front didn't say anything as he turned to the closed door. As the group walked in, Ray waved at them happily.

"We'll surely enjoy it, Miss President-!" said Ray, his shiny attitude truly contrasting the th12:28 210 Day 1 of the Foundation Week.

of their booth. Once all of them were in, the other officer closed the door..

Ginnie then quickly rushed to Lily's side. "Lily, is that guy the rank 1 of the star section, Dean Pierson?" 2 "Yeah, I think?" Lily rocked her head. "I never met him in person, but since he's the only unfamiliar face in the group. So, I think that's him?" "Wow..." Ginnie didn't know if she would be happy at the fact that this was the only booth the star students went to, or worried for sunknown reason. "Is everything will be okay?" Lily and Ginnie gazed at the door worriedly before Lily whispered, "I don't know, but I hope things will be okay." Meanwhile, Penny excitedly rubbed her hands while hiding inside the big box. She already heard. the other ghost scaring their next group. Hence, she was eagerly waiting for her turn.

I see this group is a little tough, huh?" she thought, smirking, adding more powder to her face and then sred inks. This time, I'll hear you scream." So far, this new group barely made a sound despite all the ghosts popping out of nowhere around the dark tunnel their class made. If Penny was correct, there was only one scaredy cat among the group. Hence, she was planning to give it all and show this group the honor of this class.

When a light turned on from the hole in the side of her box, Penny held her breath and mentally prepared herself. After a few seconds, she jumped out of the box.

"Waaah!" she shouted with her hands up like zombies.

Much to Penny's dismay, the only girl she heard squealing was the only one who got scared of her. The latter quickly hid close to the other girl in the group. The rest of them? They just stared at Penny with a blank face.

"Oh, Penny, it's you!" Ray clasped his hand excitedly. "Is this where the free picture is being taken?! So exciting!" Hearing this familiar jolly voice, Penny flinched a little. Her eyes went wide, slowly moving her eyes to Ray. As soon as she faced Ray's direction, a camera flash beamed at her.

"Hehehehe!" Ray beamed happily as he put down his and butterflies. A total contrast to the booth's theme. Camera, the air around him was all pink Penny looked away with heavy clouds forming on top of her head. T failed this mission miserably,' she wept while Ray's was melting in happiness. I'm sorry, my beloved classmates!" "We met again." Penny's internal halted when she heard the voice that sounded quite family. Looking at the am 12:28 fthe maina sha tilted har hand to tha alda Tha amu nan tall 210 Day 1 of the Foundation Week neither bulk nor slender, just enough for a teenage boy like him.

"Do I know you?" she replied incredulously, studying his build more. The more she sensed this sense of familiarity, the more her face contorted. "Don't tell me, you are that..." weird guy in the street?! 2 The young man smiled and bent over, leaning his face a little closer. But just as he did, Penny timely raised a hand and placed her palm on his palm.

"Stay where you are," she smiled. "I'm a little allergic to weird people and it's not nice to see you again." The star section glanced at Dean while Ray frowned.

"Dean, do you know her?" "You can say that." Dean smiled and drew his head back, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. "But apparently, she doesn't know me."

"How would I know you?" Penny pouted, "Guys, time's up! You guys should leave. You already.

со demoralized all the ghosts in the tunnel. Your overstay is not welcomed." Dean gazed at her and chuckled. "Penny, we'll meet again next time." "We might, but so what?' was what Penny wanted to say, but folded her arms instead and tapped her feet impatiently. "Bye: "Let's be friends once you enter our class, Dean said and simply walked away while sother star section simply glanced at her.

Ray, on the other hand, waved. "Bye, Penny-! This is definitely worth it. I'll cback. Wait for me-!"

Penny just shook her head, telling herself she should tell Lily to give her a heads-up next tRay cinto their booth. As she dejectedly sat down in the box, her face contorted when she heard Ray's loud voice again.

"Oh, Penny's standee! It looks like a m mascot so cute! Picture! Hey, take this! I want a picture with her!" Penny rolled her eyes and mentally grunted. 'Where does all this money cfrom for all this nonsense?!" But after that brief distress, her face calmed down as she pondered about that weird dude.

"What's wrong with him?" she murmured. "He's acting as if we know each other when I've never met him in my life.
