Who was truly pulling a prank here?

Another day rolled in without fail. 

This time, there wasn't any bucket of dirty water waiting for Penny at the entrance of her classroom. She arrived and everyone was already there. It seemed like since Ray's fans club put a target on her back, all her classmates came in earlier than they should have. 

Walking to her desk, Penny glanced around and noticed that her classmates avoided making eye contact with her. When her gaze landed on Ginnie, the latter was shaking her head profusely, as if trying to warn her about something. 

"Good morning, Penny!" 

Just then, Lily arrived in the classroom and immediately greeted Penny. Good thing her desk was near her.

"Morning." Penny glanced at Lily, who was placing down her bag. 

"Hehe." Lily jumped to Penny for some morning talk before class. But before she could lean on Penny's desk, Penny grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Penny?"

"Lily, wait a second."
