Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 543

The two sides were now locked in a fierce debate online.

"Juniper..." her friends murmured, all looking at her with concern. This had to be about Ferdinand.

"Alright." Juniper finished her milkshake, tossed the empty cup into a bin, and handed her cap to Hattie. "Hold this for me, please."

"Juniper..." Janet started to follow her, but Juniper stopped her.

"You guys go on to the cafeteria and get dinner. I'll be right there," she said, then added, "By the way, I burned a lot of energy today. I'm thinking two servings of braised pork and two chicken legs."

The instructor standing nearby was speechless. Between the shooting, the fighting, and the verbal takedowns, she certainly had been busy. Still, shouldn't she be more worried about the assault accusation?

"Okay," Janet said, nodding obediently as she watched Juniper walk away.

Hattie and the others were terrified. "What's going to happen? Will they call her parents? Do you think she'll be disciplined?"

Queenie, however, let out a small laugh. "Calling her parents would be even better," she said knowingly.

"Huh?" Hattie, Cynthia, and Lola stared at her, completely lost.

Janet, however, understood immediately. That's right. Go ahead and call her parents. Once Mr. Schwartz showed up, everyone would quiet down real quick.

...

In a school office, Ferdinand had wasted no time in calling home after his humiliation. When his father heard that his precious son had been bullied by a mere girl, he flew into a rage and rushed over from his company, demanding justice.

That slam on the table, followed by her chilling speech, left the counselor momentarily stunned. Wow. As expected of the top scorer, a true all-around talent. This girl had personality. It had been years since she'd seen a student with so much fire. She absolutely loved it!

"What did you say?" Cassidy, provoked beyond reason, jumped to his feet and pointed a finger at Juniper. "Say that to me one more time!"

Juniper stared him down. As his finger got dangerously close to her face, she grabbed it and squeezed.

"Agh!" Cassidy cried out in pain, trying to pull his hand back, but her grip was like iron.

"Juniper, let go!" the counselor said, her head starting to ache as she tried to de-escalate the situation.

"Self-defense," Juniper said, releasing his hand and dusting hers off with disgust. "Point that finger at me again, and I won't be so gentle... old man."
