Georgie's emotions came and went quickly. By the time he had finished washing up and stepped out of the football locker room, he had returned to his usual self.
"Hey, no girls are blocking you today..." Georgie said with a laugh, looking at the empty campus.
Previously, when the team was on a winning streak, many girls would come to watch Mike, whether during or after team practice.
However, after losing today's game, this situation no longer occurred.
"Isn't this great? No girls bothering me, just peace and quiet," Mike said with an indifferent smile.
Mike felt more comfortable having enough personal space, like now.
Seeing that Mike's expression seemed genuine, Georgie said sourly, "Do you know, you're being very... annoying right now."
Mike's current demeanor seemed like he was humble-bragging.
In Georgie's opinion, if someone was popular with girls, they would be overjoyed, not annoyed by them.
Just as Georgie was about to seize this opportunity to needle Mike a few more times, a black vintage sedan pulled up in front of them.
The car window rolled down, and Karen smiled invitingly, "Hi, Mike. How about coming over to my place to hang out for a bit?"
Looking at Karen's teasing eyes, Mike understood her intention.
However, he still asked one more question, "Where's Regina?"
"Oh, she's already gone home. It's just us today..." Karen urged with a smile, "Get in the car! Please—"
In fact, with today's football game lost, Regina had once again lowered Mike's priority.
She thought that without the football halo, Mike might not be as popular in school as he used to be.
Regina, who was at odds with Mike, naturally wasn't willing to put herself out there for him again.
Yes, as the Queen Bee, Regina was just that realistic.
But this was also good; Mike actually didn't want too much contact with Regina, who was a troublesome woman.
At this moment, Mike, standing by the roadside, looked at Karen's charming appearance, and his heart gradually warmed. After all, who could refuse a beautiful woman who actively came to him and was considerate?
However, thinking that Georgie was acting a bit off today, Mike felt a little reluctant to leave him alone.
After all, Mike was not someone who would abandon his friends for a woman.
Seemingly sensing Mike's thoughts, Georgie said, "You go have fun, I'm used to going home alone."
"Okay, see you tonight." Mike hesitated for a second. In the end, he still got into the sedan.
Watching the sedan drive away, Georgie said melancholically, "As expected, with Mike's looks, how could he lack girls...?"
Meanwhile, Cady, who had changed out of her cheerleading uniform, also found her friends, Janis and Damian.
Seeing that Cady seemed unfazed, Janis reminded her, "Shouldn't you be looking for Mike right now? He just lost the game and really needs someone to comfort him..."
As she spoke, Janis showed a meaningful smile.
Hearing her friend's teasing, Cady felt a little shy, but it also reminded her.
After some internal struggle, Cady finally seemed to make up her mind and said, "Then I'm going. I'll come find you guys next time."
"Go, go— I wish you success in winning Mike over this time," Janis encouraged her friend, watching her walk away.
However, when a nervous Cady jogged all the way to the sports field, she only saw Georgie, who hadn't gone far yet.
"Georgie, um, where's Mike? Wasn't he with you?" Cady asked, catching her breath.
"Hmm, Mike just left. Is there something you need?" Georgie replied.
As a friend, he didn't tell the girl in front of him that Mike had left with a girl.
After all, Georgie wasn't stupid; he also realized that Cady had feelings for Mike.
"He's already gone?"
Hearing Georgie's answer, Cady's face showed disappointment. However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and continued, "Actually, it's nothing important with Mike; I can talk to him later."
After a brief farewell to Georgie, Cady went to find Janis and the others again.
...
Meanwhile, Mike, who had gotten into the passenger seat of the sedan, initially thought Karen was the only one in the car. But after getting in, he realized there was someone else in the back seat.
At this moment, he was looking at Karen, who was driving, with an inquiring gaze.
No one would be happy if their private moment was interrupted by an outsider, even if the other person was also a beautiful woman.
Yes, the person sitting in the back seat was Gretchen, another member of The Plastics.
At this moment, Gretchen was sitting upright in the back, with her legs together. Her face was turned towards the car window, avoiding all eye contact with Mike.
Soon, taking advantage of a red light at an intersection, Karen explained, "It's not convenient at Gretchen's house today, so she's planning to stay at my place for a while..."
As she spoke, Karen suddenly leaned close to Mike's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, she won't disturb our fun."
Feeling the sticky warmth by his ear, Mike no longer cared about Gretchen. While marveling that Karen was a captivating little enchantress, he only wanted to devour her whole.
Soon, the sedan carrying the three of them arrived in front of a detached villa.
Looking at the luxuriousness of this villa, it was not much inferior to Regina's house.
In fact, Karen's family owned a medium-sized food factory, and Cady's father had also independently developed a beef burger that sold very well within Texas.
So, Karen was actually a true rich girl.
After the car stopped steadily, Karen happily pulled Mike's hand and entered her villa.
From the overall style, the interior decoration of Karen's villa exuded a sense of understated luxury everywhere, which was much more pleasing to the eye than Regina's flashy, mixed-style home.
And today, Karen's parents happened to be away from home, which also gave Mike and Karen enough space to play.
In the back, Gretchen, who had followed them in, as Karen had said, wisely went to a room nearby as soon as she entered, not disturbing the pair in the villa.
As soon as Gretchen disappeared, the two in the living room passionately intertwined.
"Wait..." At the crucial moment, Karen called for a pause.
"What's wrong?" Mike asked, puzzled.
"Wait a moment, you'll know... there's a surprise~" Karen mysteriously led Mike into a super-sized room, while she went outside to prepare the surprise.
Just as Mike was getting impatient, Karen finally came back.
"How is it?" After twirling around, Karen asked with a smile.
At this moment, Karen had changed into a form-fitting bunny girl outfit, with two cute bunny ear decorations on her head.
"Tsk tsk... Is this the surprise? It's indeed good. But your bunny is missing one thing," Mike said with sparkling eyes and a smile.
"Missing what?" Karen feigned an innocent look.
"Of course... a carrot..."
...
[Charm Attribute +5], [Constitution Main Attribute +1], [Flexibility Attribute +3]...
Half an hour later, the big bunny was defeated.
