Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 553

"Juniper, what are your plans now that the training camp is over?" The advisor, knowing her fondness for them, handed her a milkshake with a wide, ingratiating smile.

"Going home." Juniper accepted the drink but didn't take a sip. The advisor's smile was a little too eager for her liking.

"Ah, home." The advisor continued to beam. "You brought great honor to our class during the camp. All the students are so grateful to you."

Juniper just watched her cautiously, saying nothing.

"You're not only beautiful and intelligent, but you also have such a strong sense of community…"

The advisor laid on the compliments thick and fast.

Juniper's brow furrowed. "Ma'am, if you have something to say, please just say it."

"Always so sharp," the advisor said, momentarily taken aback before recovering. "Well, the thing is, the opening ceremony is next Monday, and the school administration thinks you're an exceptional student… so they'd like you to be the freshman representative and give a speech on stage."

"No, thank you," Juniper replied without hesitation.

"Why not?" The advisor was surprised. It was an honor most freshmen would kill for.

"I just don't want to," Juniper said flatly. "I don't like public speaking."
