None of the events of Star High School interested the students of Class F anyway. The smile on Daisy’s face instantly froze and she said, “Our school is about to have a sports competition.” I’m only doing my duty to remind them. I don’t expect any of these b*stards to participate.
“Sports competition?” The four members of The Beasts were asleep at first but they immediately stood up at the mention of a sports competition. Even though they were bad at studying, they would definitely not lose to anyone in terms of physical fitness. Seeing that the four new students were interested, Daisy continued, “A basketball competition, to be exact.”
“A basketball competition?” The four of them glanced at each other and rubbed their palms in excitement, saying in unison, “Miss Daisy, the four of us want to participate!” When Janet heard this, the corner of her lips couldn’t help but twitch.
I thought they promised to lay low? These four boys are as strong as bulls. They can play 300 rounds of basketball without breaking out in sweat!
However, when the other students of Class F heard this, they thought of them as a joke.
“Oh my, are you sure the four of you can compete with others?”
“I think it’s best that our class doesn’t participate.”
“I heard that there are a few jocks in other classes. We definitely won’t be able to compete with them.”
“You’re right. Moreover, there are several athletes in Class A who are as strong as bulls!”
“We shouldn’t participate at all! Class F has never won a prize anyway!”
“The four of you are so short, I’m sure you will be defeated as soon as the game starts. Don’t come to us crying when that happens!”
“They might not even be able to reach the hoop itself!”
Upon hearing their mockery, The Beasts scoffed arrogantly and one of them countered, “Who said that we won’t be able to compete?” The other students were rendered speechless. Forget it, they won’t listen even though we tried to warn them. Let the four of them go ahead and embarrass themselves.
Daisy saw that the four students were really excited so after a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Why don’t we sign up for the competition?” However, when the students heard this, they hurriedly lowered their heads. No one was willing to team up with The Beasts. Seeing everyone lower their heads, Daisy lamented, “Then we won’t be participating! We need five people to play in the basketball competition.”
Upon hearing that, Abby scratched her head and turned to look at Gordon. “Gordon, you know how to play basketball, right?” Gordon looked up and when he saw Abby’s chubby face and starry eyes filled with hope, he nodded blankly.
Abby quickly raised her hand happily and yelled, “Miss Daisy, Gordon would like to participate too!”
“Really? Well then, it seems our class will be participating in the competition after all!” At first, Daisy thought they would have no hope so when she heard Abby’s words, she couldn’t help but feel excited.
When The Beasts heard this, they raised their hands and cheered. Meanwhile, the other students in the class lowered their heads and sighed. I’m sure that all four of them will be mocked again. Poor Gordon, he’ll be so embarrassed by the four of them… Just like that, the first lesson passed quickly.
Later on, Daisy went to look for the physical education instructor and signed her class up for the competition. Even though she wasn’t optimistic that The Beasts would win, she was glad that there were students who were willing to step up and participate. At the very least, she wouldn’t be mocked by the teachers from the other classes.
That afternoon, Star High School was particularly lively after school hours as the twelfth grade competition attracted the attention of many lower grade students. In the basketball court, Abby looked at Gordon in his basketball uniform starry eyed as she excitedly pulled on Janet’s arm and asked, “Janet, do you think The Beasts would stand a chance with other classes?” Looking at the four boys who were one head shorter than Gordon, Abby felt a little worried. Janet, on the other hand, looked straight ahead and kicked at a pebble calmly before helplessly replying, “I think so.”
They better be merciful and not reveal our identity, she thought. Abby then happily pointed at her cheerleader uniform and pouted her lips as she asked, “Janet, do I look cute?”
“Yeah… Sure… I think so…” The corner of Janet’s lips twitched and she answered dishonestly.
