"Help me notify everyone to gather at 7:30." Joe Jin said casually, with a hint of probing.
Mariana replied nonchalantly.
After that, she stood up and walked straight out the door.
On the way to notify others, Mariana called on Jessie Grain from Dormitory 208.
Belinda Nichols and Iris Dukes lived in 210.
When Mariana and Jessie Grain entered to notify them, they happened to meet Flossie Wright who was visiting.
The three of them were huddled together, engrossed in studying the game of Landlord.
"How do I play this card?"
Belinda poked her head out, blatantly peeking at Flossie Wright’s hand.
"Sister Belinda, Flossie is the landlord..." Iris Dukes blinked pitifully at Belinda.
"Oh," Belinda responded, then boldly laid down her cards, "let her win then."
Iris Dukes looked like she was about to cry.
Flossie Wright touched her nose.
"Ah, I can’t watch this anymore!"
Devina Millet, who had just finished washing her face on the balcony, threw her towel onto her desk.
She marched straight towards Belinda, indignantly saying, "You two bullying one, what’s up with that? Iris, I’ll help you win it back!"
Saying this, Devina started rolling up her sleeves.
Just as she finished speaking.
Devina, who intended to squeeze out Belinda, hadn’t even finished rolling up her sleeves when a fan of cards appeared under her chin.
The sharp edges of the cards pressed against her chin, an intangible murderous aura emanating.
Devina instantly froze.
Lowering her head, she met Flossie Wright’s eyes, which were smiling yet filled with menace.
"This is none of your business."
With a slight curl of her lips, Flossie Wright slowly uttered the words.
"Fine, fine," with her expression slightly relaxed, Devina stepped back two paces and spoke very obsequiously, "Take your time playing!"
Thus, Flossie Wright retracted the cards.
The once neat stack of cards was instantly stacked neatly once more.
Devina glanced at it a couple of times, rolling her eyes disdainfully.
The cards were played poorly, but the theatrics were remarkable.
Only good at putting on a show.
Looking down on her!
Thinking resentfully, Devina shook her head, casting a pitying glance at Iris Dukes, only to unexpectedly find her enthusiastically shuffling the cards.
Suddenly—
Devina made a face as if she had ’bitten a dog’.
Standing at the doorway, watching the scene, Mariana and Jessie Grain exchanged a knowing smile.
Only Flossie Wright could pull off this kind of act.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Jessie Grain raised her hand and knocked three times on the door.
"What is it?"
Annoyed, Devina picked up the towel and called out.
"7:30, meet in the hallway," Jessie Grain informed.
"Alright, alright, got it," Devina replied irritably.
In the middle of shuffling the cards, Iris Dukes responded slowly.
Belinda simply ignored it.
Fortunately, besides the hot-tempered Devina, the naive Iris Dukes, and the aloof and haughty Belinda, the dormitory also had a girl with a softer personality who warmly thanked Jessie Grain.
Already accustomed to them, Jessie Grain didn’t mind much and continued with Mariana to notify the other dorms.
Having missed a dozen games of Landlord, Iris Dukes was abandoned by Flossie Wright and Belinda, and in her disappointment, was dragged to the corridor gathering by the helpless Devina.
