FULL NOVELXO Chapter CHAPTER 49
49 Thursday guy
Penny missed on subject because she made sure Keith's swollen face would ease while the rest of the boys rested in the infirmary, But the day went by without any more events.
In the van, Nina glanced at Penny, who was busy looking out the window. The van was big, with each row only having two separate seats. They were at the front, while Atlas and Slater were at the back. Hugo went home using his bike, so it was just the four of
them.
"Penny, are you alright now?" Nina broke the silence in a worried tone. "You missed one subject because you said you had a
headache. Are you okay now?"
As soon as Atlas heard that, he took a quick peek at Penny.
Penny casually looked back at the little princess next to her and smiled. "I'm okay."
"Good." Nina heaved a sigh. "You missed the surprise quiz, but I already told our teacher about the situation. You can take the quiz
tomorrow."
Of all the times Nina could've said this, she chose now?
Penny mentally applauded Nina's consistency. "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Nina smiled and secretly glanced at her
brothers.
Atlas was reading his book while Slater quietly looked out of the window. She pressed her lips, casting Penny another look.

was quiet, it was also peacefu
reason. She felt like Penny was municking their brothers.
'Should I talk to her more?' she wondered, thinking that would reassure their brother that she was looking after Penny. 'But Eldest Brother... rarely rides with us.' Nina pursed her lips as she glanced at Atlas. She decided it was much better if she kept quiet since Atlas had been very irritable the closer his exam was.
As for Penny, she couldn't help but feel that she was forgetting something.
'Did I forget something today?' she asked herself while thinking about her pets. 'No, it's not them, but why do I feel like I forgot something very important?'
Penny racked her brains while staring out the window. It almost made her brain hurt because, deep in her heart, she knew she was forgetting something. Her brain was just too occupied with other things that she couldn't figure out what it was.
However, when their van entered the subdivision and drove past a street, Penny's eyes dilated as her entire face froze. She finally remembered what she was forgetting today.
'Uh oh... the Thursday guy!'
When their van reached the Bennet mansion, Penny quickly jumped off in haste.
"Huh?" Nina furrowed her brows, a bit surprised at Penny's returned vitality. 'Did she run off to brag to Mom and Dad?'

Her face turned sour, as
ing Penny was rushing back inside so
she could immediately seg their parent's attention.
Slater, on the other hand, furrowed his brows while watching Penny's figure bolt inside. Watching her run, she looked cute. But Slater would never unsee what he already witnessed. Her viciousness was already etched in his brain.
"Welcome Back, Miss Penny." Butler Jen welcomed Penny with a smile, only for Penny to run past him like a bolt of lightning. She still greeted him back, though.
"Miss Penny?" he turned his head, only to see her running to the stairs straight to her room. "Why is she in a hurry?"
Suddenly, Hugo's voice reached him.
"Butler Jen, is that Penny?" Hugo looked up at the mezzanine, catching her little hair bouncing over the railings. "Does she need to go to the bathroom?"
At this time, Atlas, Slater, and Nina already reached the front door.
Atlas looked up and nodded as if he just understood something. "No wonder she's quiet throughout the ride. She's probably holding it in."
"Young Masters and Miss Nina, how about you get in first?" Butler Jen smiled and shifted their attention. "Your parents left, but
they're probably on the way back."

The children nodded and went to their rooms to change and get
ready for dinner. Just when they di

respective pet carriers,
while Tiana was on top of her head.
"Miss Penny?" Butler Jen, who was just about to help with some housework, looked at her with confusion. "Miss Penny, where are you going?" Penny laughed awkwardly and said, "Butler Jen, I'll just go out and take them for a walk. I forgot I agreed with their kind benefactor and today's their playdate." After saying that, Penny quickly bolted toward the door.
Butler Jen could only watch her and say, "Miss Penny, come back before dinner!" he sighed and wondered if she heard him.

'I kept thinking about Thursday all week and even told Butler Jen not to make the vet appointment on Thursday! How can I forget about it on this very day?!'
Penny didn't hope for that boy to still be waiting for her. It was a little late. They should've gone home early, but Atlas had to stay for another hour for some extra classes. They didn't have to wait for him, but Nina convinced the driver they should wait for him because Atlas wanted to ride with them.
"He probably didn't wait for me, right?" she murmured as she

walked closer to their meeting place. "Oh, he's not here."
All she had to do was look at the sidewalk to know if that boy was waiting for her or not. She shrugged and continued to walk, sitting on the pavement where she first met the boy. She placed Chunchun and the unnamed creature on either side.
"I feel terrible," she sighed. "Well, he won't think I went back to my words, right? So many things are just going on."
She looked at Chunchun and then at the mouse and sighed for the second time. However, she suddenly heard the bush rustle behind
her.
"Huh?" Penny looked back curiously. "Don't tell me..."
Penny slowly stood and crawled to the bush. Just like how she met the boy, she squeezed her head in and when it popped out on the other side, her mouth fell open. Looking up, she was met by a sickly looking boy.
The boy looked at her, and then he smiled in relief. "You made it."
