The girl named Rose nodded firmly. "Yes! I'm in Year 9, the same as you but in Set 3. You are in Set 1, aren't you?"
"Ah yes, so that's why we have never met before." Han Luo agreed.
"What dancing live video?" Mary asked.
"Mary, let me show you. Luo is very brave. She challenged Jared, our best dancer in the school and their votes were tied." Rose showed the video to her. It's still the best video in the group.
"Impressive moves," Benjamin commented while watching the video with Marry.
"Thank you!" Han Luo was embarrassed.
"I heard rumors that you are close with our Three Musketeers because you are Sheng's sister, but I didn't think you are close enough for Yuan to escort you." Rose smiled at Mo Yuan.
"…" Mo Yuan said nothing.
"Pfft!" Benjamin covered his mouth. 'Three Musketeers?! Is that what they call Young Master and his friends in the school? Oh man, it's so funny!'
Mo Yuan glared at him.
Han Luo didn't want to mislead Rose. She said, "It's because whenever big brother Ming isn't available, big brother Yujin or big brother Yuan keeps me company. We have grown up together and they know that I'm a bit clumsy. They don't dare to let me walk around the unknown city alone."
"Oh, I see." Rose looked at Mo Yuan with interest. They were both in the music club and she never had the chance to talk to him. Now that he was right in front of her, she wanted to have a conversation with him.
However, Benjamin said, "Miss Han, you are skilled in many dancing styles. Your body is flexible and can dance for a long time. Do you work out or practice martial arts?"
Han Luo was startled. She scratched her head and smile innocently. "I do work out but martial arts isn't my thing."
"Is that so…" Benjamin was thoughtful. He was sure that she practiced martial arts.
Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes. 'I will see how long you can cover the truth.'
Mary said, "All right, Luo, shall we start? I want to see how good you are in Ballet since I didn't see that in the video. Since you are in my hand, losing won't be an option."
The reasons she was acting so friendly toward Han Luo was because – Benjamin's threat, Han Luo wasn't the girl she hated and of course, to be on Benjamin's good side.
------------
A week later, Han Luo went to school with her three big brothers. It's October. The weather was chillier than before and the sky was hazed. She shivered in the cold. She wrapped her neck with the muffler and put her hands in her pockets. As soon as she stepped inside the school, Beth rushed toward her.
Han Luo was startled by her sudden appearance and quickly regained her composure. "Ah, yes I said that."
"Then why did the drama club announce that you are participating?" Beth asked.
"What? When did they announce?" Han Luo questioned.
Beth said, "Last night, they posted a notice on the group page. They also created a banner and added it on the notice board."
Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan listened to the conversation of Han Luo and Beth. Han Sheng Ming was fuming. "Those sons of b*tches! How dare they target my little Luo Luo? I will break their pathetic drama club into pieces."
Tang Yujin grabbed his shoulder. He smiled gently and said, "No need to do that. I will take care of it. As long as I collect the evidence of them bullying little Luo, all I have to do is offer a proposal of removing the members of the drama club." He had a sinister smile on his face.
Han Luo was already feeling cold but their behavior gave her chills. She touched both of their arms and said, "All right, don't worry too much. I'm tough. I can take care of this by myself."
Mo Yuan asked, "And what will you do?"
"I won't do anything at this moment." Han Luo smiled. "Let the competition come first. That's all I can think about now."
Han Luo parted with her big brothers and went to her class. The students saw her and surrounded her quickly. "Luo, we heard that you are going to participate in the drama, is that true?"
Han Luo looked confused. "I already rejected them yesterday, but they seemed to misunderstand my words. Maybe I cannot speak English properly. This is the first time I've experienced something like this. I don't know what to do." She sighed and showed a troubled expression.
The students showered her with sympathy.
"No way! You speak accurately."
"There is no problem with your pronunciation."
"Even some students in other sections are worse than you."
"Do you really think so?" Han Luo asked.
They replied, "Of course we do!"
"Those seniors are just jealous of your sudden popularity."
"I think so too. They knew that you were going to participate in a dance competition and still made a proposal. You clearly refused them but they created such false news. They deserve punishment for bullying a transfer student."
"Luo Han is such a good student. Why are they acting like this? Those jerks!"
"I never thought that they had such a mean personality. I will never watch their dramas again."
The students were arguing early in the morning and made the class warmer. Han Luo secretly smirked. 'Dearest drama club, did you want to bully me that badly? Now take that.'
Beth was checking her cellphone and suddenly screamed, "Hey guys check this out! The banner of the drama club has been taken down from the website!"
