"Huhu. Penny! Look at your head!" Lily cried, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Penny's injuries. "That trash! I will never let him get away with this!"
"I'll get him beaten up!" Ginnie exclaimed, getting angrier the more she looked at Penny's face. She ground her teeth, her eyes fixed on the swollen part of Penny's jaw. "Look at you! Ahh!! I'm so upset!"
Ginnie then quickly hugged Penny's side, unable to stop her eyes from tearing up. Now, there were three of them crying: Lily, Nina, and Ginnie. Grace hadn't arrived yet.
Penny let out an awkward laugh, glancing at her friends, who were crying as if she were dying. It was a strange feeling. Even though she had known these women and her relationship with them — thanks to the sober Penny — it still felt peculiar.
How could Penny not find it strange?
