Once the first recess bell rang, the class president approached Penny's desk immediately.
"Uh, Penny."
Penny looked up at the class president and tilted her head.
The class president offered Penny a smile. "Thank you for earlier and I'm sorry I couldn't stop them." Her smile cracked a little as she thought of what could've happened if Penny got in trouble.
She was the class president, and she knew she should've done something. However, not only did she hesitate for a second, but her officers and even Penny saved her from Ray's fans' wrath.
"It's okay, President!" Penny reassured. "It's not your fault. I mean, I knew you tried, and that's good enough for me."
But that didn't feel good enough for the class president.
"Lily." the class president said with a subtle smile. "Just call me Lily."
Penny didn't answer and just smiled.
