American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

It's only been a few days since Sam was beaten.

Other boys, lacking tact, realized their offense after being deliberately reminded by the girls in the class.

At this moment, Lina also demonstrated her role as the leader of Mike's support team.

She connected with almost all the girls in the class.

The class quickly quieted down, and Ms. Ingram awkwardly stopped laughing. Looking at Mike's serious expression, she asked in surprise, "Are you serious?"

“Of course, I have no reason to lie.” Mike nodded slightly.

"Okay, the teacher misunderstood you." Ms. Ingram was of a fairly good character and admitted her mistake.

Then she let Mike and the other two sit back down.

Because of the misunderstanding, Sheldon spent the entire math class feeling depressed and didn't answer questions as actively as he used to.

Since Mike discovered that he could no longer consistently take advantage of Sheldon in class, he has become less enthusiastic than before.

Therefore, the classes this morning were quite dull.

At noon, Mike left little George behind and sat down with Lina and the others.

The girls sitting at the same table were all key members of Mike's fan club.

Mike thanked them for what happened in class that morning.

On the other side, in the 12th grade dining area.

Janice looked at Katie, who had changed her outfit, and gossiped, "So, Katie, did you manage to win over Mike?"

Today, Katie wore a red shirt and her blonde hair was tied in a single ponytail, making her look much more confident and capable.

Hearing her friend's question, she shook her head dejectedly: "No, I feel like I missed a chance."

Thinking of Mike's passionate gaze that day, Katie was certain that he had feelings for her.

She believes that their relationship is just one step away from taking a step further.

"Then you'll have to step up your game. Boys are visual creatures; they're easily attracted to other flashy, cheap girls." Punk girl Janice seemed like a relationship expert, though she wasn't as insightful as Katie.

Damian, the effeminate man sitting next to Janice, agreed with her assessment. He gestured to Katie, "Look over there, isn't that Mike?"

Not far away, in the eleventh-grade dining area, Mike was chatting and laughing with several girls at his table.

Seeing Katie's thoughts, Janice encouraged her, "Go find him, we support you."

Katie picked up her plate, nodded to her two friends, and headed to find Mike.

She clearly felt that the other person was interested in her. How come, after only one day apart, he's already getting involved with a girl from her class?

In matters of the heart, anyone can be petty, and Katie is no exception.

"Katie, be careful of Regina. I heard that she's got her eye on you because of Mike," Damian whispered to Katie's retreating figure.

At that moment, Katie's eyes were only on Mike, and it was unclear whether she had even heard her friend's warning.

After she walked a little further away, punk Janice continued, "I have a feeling that Katie can't compete with them at all."

The effeminate Damian shook his head: "You still don't understand men. Katie is so beautiful, she definitely has a chance. It just depends on whether she can seize it."

……

Three girls were sitting in the most prominent spot in the middle of the cafeteria, talking about Mike.

Regina: "How's the investigation going on the things you were told to do?"

Karen: "I found out that the person who asked Mike out that day was Katie from our class. But I heard their date didn't go well."

Greta: ...

"Really? That's a good thing." Regina glanced at Mike and the eleventh-grade girls chatting and laughing, and said resentfully, "Those little bitches can't compare to me. And that arrogant country bumpkin..."

As Regina was speaking, she felt Karen tugging at her clothes. She looked up in annoyance and saw the country bumpkin she had been talking about walking past her.

She immediately put on a bright smile and said softly, "Hi, baby. Can we talk?"

The queen bee was already incredibly charming, and with this deliberate act, not only men but even women couldn't resist her allure.

Hearing the voice, Katie looked around and behind her blankly, then pointed to herself and asked, "Are you calling me?"

“Of course, Katie. Please come and sit down~” Regina’s gentle voice had an irresistible charm.

“I noticed you a while ago, Katie. You’re so amazing…” Regina feigned a compliment, then revealed her true colors, feigning sincerity, and invited, “Katie, would you like to join our group of devilishly beautiful women?”

Katie had been warned by Damian that Regina was also interested in Mike. Seeing Regina's captivating charm, she thought for a moment and decided to infiltrate the enemy's ranks.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

As for those eleventh-grade girls, they're still a bit too young in terms of figure.

So Katie pretended to be excited and exclaimed, "Really? I'm so honored!"

Then, the two girls celebrated their new friendship with a warm hug.

When their cheeks brushed against each other, their enthusiastic expressions simultaneously turned cold. But when they faced each other again, their faces were once again adorned with bright smiles.

The speed at which this person changed their expression was so fast that it was truly masterful.

Chapter 30 Best Friend Rules

Inside the restaurant, at first glance, there is a harmonious scene.

After exchanging a few more insincere words with Katie, Regina picked up a carton of milk and said apologetically, "Excuse me, everyone, I have some personal matters to attend to."

After saying that, she made a graceful gesture and walked towards Mike.

As the school's "Queen Bee," Regina's every move naturally attracts a lot of attention.

Karen, who had stayed where she was, suddenly turned around and asked, "Katie, are you and Mike very close?"

Katie was also keeping an eye on Regina's movements and casually replied, "She's alright. She was the first friend I made at school."

"So it seems you two have a good relationship..." Karen with the big waves smiled, then suddenly asked, "Do you like him?"

"Who? Mike?" Katie's first reaction to this question was to try to cover it up, feeling guilty.

Then, looking at Karen's smiling baby face across from her, she began to consider whether she should reveal some of her true feelings to her.

Karen's beauty is the result of an angel defeating a devil.

Her figure was outstanding and alluring, yet she possessed a naturally adorable face. Especially her large, expressive eyes, which gave off a sense of both innocence and beauty.

The combination of these two contradictory qualities makes Karen's beauty non-aggressive, and instead gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Compared to Regina's strong aura, Karen seems much more approachable and trustworthy.

This kind of person is very suitable to be an "ally".

However, while Katie was still weighing the pros and cons, Karen, looking regretful, continued, "What a pity, Katie. It's obvious you like Mike a bit, but you probably won't have a chance in the future."

"Why?" Katie's eyes widened in surprise.

In her heart, she and Mike were only one step away from being together.

Now that she heard someone wanted to break them up, Katie was very unhappy, and even her gaze towards Karen became more hostile.

Karen, seemingly oblivious to the change in atmosphere, kindly explained, "Now that you've joined the 'Devil Body Group,' you have to abide by the group's best friend rules."

The first rule of best friends: Never compete with your best friend for a man.

Now, Regina has acted before you. Believe me, Mike will be under her control soon. So…”

Karen's meaning was clear: if Mike was won over by Regina, then the other members of the "Devil Body Group" would no longer be able to make a move on Mike.

Therefore, Regina's enthusiastic invitation to Katie to join the "Devil Body Group" was premeditated.

Clever Katie immediately grasped the key point after being reminded.

Katie originally joined the "Devil Body Group" to gather intelligence. However, her plan backfired, and she ended up falling into Regina's trap.

This made the girl, who was just beginning to adapt to campus life, feel somewhat frustrated.

Fortunately, based on the girl's understanding of Mike, she firmly believed that he wouldn't be won over by Regina so easily.

Moreover, this also reflects the girl's confidence in her own charm.

Katie knows that her personality isn't very likable at this stage, but she has never doubted her own charm.

This is why she dared to approach the handsome and outstanding Mike before.

Moreover, in terms of the order of priority, Katie believes that she should be ranked first.

Temporarily free from her gloom, Katie asked, "Karen, can you tell me who came up with the 'best friend rule'?"

“It was Regina who came up with the plan. She said it would prevent conflicts within the team…” Karen continued to explain.

'Just as I thought.' Katie sneered inwardly, already regarding Regina as her main rival.

To better deal with her in the future, Katie said softly, "Karen, could you tell me more about the rules for best friends?"

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

“Of course you can…” Karen explained enthusiastically again.

The rules of the "Devil Body Group" are very complicated, with clear regulations on the words, actions, and even clothing of team members.

To put it bluntly, this code of conduct was created by Regina herself, and many of its rules are designed to serve her own interests.

Moreover, in order to ensure that the Queen Bee's limelight is not overshadowed, the other members often need to make compromises.

For example, if Regina has an event on the weekend and needs help, then the other members must make time to assist her on that day.

This set of rules for best friends is rife with authoritarianism.

Of course, the Queen Bee's "dictatorship" is also a good thing for Katie: where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

Looking at the other member beside her, who was lost in thought and always maintained an elegant demeanor—Greechen.

Katie thought that maybe she could also develop the other person into an "ally".

On the other side, Regina, deliberately slowing down and exuding a powerful aura, also walked up to Mike.

With her charming smile intact, she said to the girls at the table, "Excuse me, could you make room for me?"

As she spoke, she acted like a proud queen, her gaze sweeping across the entire room.

The eleventh-grade girls all looked a bit immature compared to Regina.

In addition, Regina's flamboyant behavior drew the attention of all the students in the restaurant.

Soon, one of the girls sitting next to him couldn't withstand the pressure and stood up.

Like a chain reaction, once one happened, another followed. Before long, only Mike and Lina, who was sitting next to him, remained at the table.

Lina, who was still relatively inexperienced, also seemed uneasy under Regina's gaze.

“Mike and I have something to say to each other privately. Would you like to stay and listen?” Regina’s bright and polite smile held a hint of teasing.

The table was full of empty seats, but the queen couldn't get a seat. Instead, she looked down at the last girl.

In contrast, one person was elegant and poised, while the other was flushed with nervousness.

If things continue like this, Lina, who is "overestimating her abilities," may become the laughingstock of the entire school.

Don't underestimate the influence of the queen bee at the school.

Mike sensed something was wrong and said, "Lina, you go first, see you in class."

Lina breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mike's words.

She had originally decided to "protect" Mike, but when she actually faced the queen bee, she realized how much pressure she was under.

"Okay, okay... See you this afternoon~" Lina blushed as she picked up her plate, and finally mustered up the courage to glare at the Queen Bee before hurriedly leaving the table.

"What an interesting girl..." Regina waited until all the girls had left before slowly sitting down opposite Mike. It seemed that she didn't take those eleventh-grade girls seriously at all.

"What do you need me for?" Mike openly admired the Queen Bee's charm, but in his mind, he labeled her as having a terrible personality.

"Can't I come to see you if it's nothing?" Regina's smile turned playful.

Suddenly, she stood up, leaned close to Mike's face, and tempted him, "Want some milk?"

As Mike was dazzled by the white, ravine-like landscape, a carton of milk was shoved into his hand.

Regina even deliberately touched Mike's hand in an ambiguous way in front of everyone.
