Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 366

The music awards were this weekend. If he released the story the day before, the traffic would be insane. In that moment, he had already decided which brand of sports car he was going to buy.

...

Saturday, after school.

Juniper had just walked out of the school gates when she ran into Janet.

“Juniper!” Janet rushed forward eagerly, pulling a slice of tiramisu from her bag. “It’s your favorite mango flavor,” she said excitedly.

“Thanks,” Juniper accepted it, eating as they walked. “Class let out early?”

“Yeah,” Janet said, smiling contentedly as she watched her. “I turned in my test early so I could walk home with you.”

“Is that all?” Juniper took a bite. It was pretty good. A faint smile played on her lips, but her eyes were sharp as knives.

“No, not really.” Janet was a little scared of this version of Juniper and confessed, “There’s just so much nasty stuff online, I was worried it would get to you.”

Especially that morning, a paparazzi had released photos of Mr. Tate and Juniper’s “head-patting” moment, paired with disgusting headlines. Things like “using her youth to seduce Mr. Tate” and “two-timing cheater.” Some even claimed Juniper had used illicit means to become the lead actress, ruining the music video Mr. Tate had spent years preparing. They speculated it was so bad that it wasn't even released domestically and was sent straight to an international competition. As for winning… there was probably no hope.

These rumors attracted many of Mr. Tate’s anti-fans and rivals’ supporters, who deliberately muddied the waters and tore Juniper to shreds online. Some even urged Mr. Tate’s fans to abandon him. Right now, the comment section of his official account was a war zone.

“That’s it?” Juniper asked, munching on her tiramisu, her mood surprisingly good.
