American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

At lunchtime, she took out a bottle of beverage from her pocket, handed it to Regina, and said, "Regina, this is a weight loss drink that my father brought back from Africa. Please accept it to thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Do you think I need to lose weight?" Regina immediately countered.

One sentence was enough to freeze Katie's smile.

However, before Katie could figure out how to respond, Regina picked up her drink bottle and poured herself a glass.

"It tastes good~" Regina tasted the bright orange fruit juice in her hand, then picked up the bottle and studied it for a moment: "What language is this?"

The beverage bottle was labeled with foreign words that Regina couldn't understand at all.

“This is Vietnamese script. The reason why the locals are so thin is because they often drink this beverage,” Katie lied, trying to appear calm.

This sports-enhancing drink was actually picked out by Janice specifically for Regina from the department store where she worked.

Moreover, if Regina thought about it for a moment, she would realize that Katie's father had worked in Africa before, so how could he have brought back Vietnamese specialties?

But what girl can resist the temptation of a slimmer figure? Regina pretended to understand the words on the bottle and commented, "I really like its ingredients, they're very healthy..."

To be honest, Regina has a slender figure and is at the prime of her youth, so she doesn't need to lose weight at all.

And her words were exactly what Katie wanted to hear.

"Really? If you like it, I'll bring you a bottle every day from now on," Katie generously promised.

"You want to curry favor with me?" Regina stared at Katie in confusion.

Regina suddenly laughed when Katie started to feel uncomfortable under her gaze: "Very well, you've won my friendship again."

After the rollercoaster of emotions, Katie breathed a sigh of relief and quietly gave Janice an OK sign in the corner of the restaurant.

The first step was to make Regina lose her good figure; the plan succeeded.

In the afternoon, before the outdoor activities began, three figures sneaked into the cheerleaders' changing room.

Damian, who wasn't particularly interested in dealing with Regina, said, "You guys go in, I'll keep watch here."

Katie and punk girl Janice entered the dressing room, found Regina's cheerleading uniform, and Katie took out a marker to draw flowers on the uniform.

Janice felt that wasn't enough. She shook her head, took out a small pair of scissors, and went over to demonstrate.

Finally, to Katie's astonishment, Janice cut two large holes in the two most prominent parts of her dress.

After getting everything sorted out, Janice excitedly called her two friends and hid in the corner of the corridor, waiting to see Regina make a fool of herself.

A short while later, Regina arrived at the dressing room.

She picked up the ripped cheerleading uniform and, without much thought, put it on.

Regina, with her aura of confidence, remains as charming as ever even when wearing ripped clothes.

In the hallway, looking at the still-glamorous Regina, Janice muttered in annoyance, "Bitch~"

Just then, Mike walked over from one end of the aisle, and Regina stopped him, asking, "Mike, what do you think of my outfit?"

Regina has a great figure and looks beautiful in anything she wears. In addition, she has a unique temperament that makes her even more charming.

"It's beautiful!" Mike said truthfully. Of course, he was mostly complimenting her.

"Thank you~" Regina winked at Mike and walked out satisfied.

Meanwhile, the conversation between Mike and Regina, two popular figures on campus, was witnessed by many students in the corridor.

Regina's bold and avant-garde designs, after receiving Mike's approval, became popular among girls.

Soon, some girls started cutting two big holes in their clothes to imitate Regina.

The second step was to undermine Regina's charm, but the plan failed.

In the corner, after avoiding Mike, Katie said dejectedly, "Maybe we shouldn't target Regina anymore."

She originally intended to ruin Regina's beautiful image, but by a twist of fate, she ended up letting Regina make her presence known to Mike again.

"No way, I refuse to believe that little bitch Regina can stay so smug forever." Janice's words this time sounded like she was gritting her teeth.

Unwilling to admit defeat, she pulled out a box of cosmetics from her person, handed it to Katie, and said, "Go give this to Regina, I'm going to ruin her pretty face."

"What's this?" Katie opened the box and smelled it; it had a faint, pleasant fragrance. However, she was still worried: "I hope there aren't any contraband items inside that could disfigure Regina!"

Although Katie disliked Regina, she wasn't so malicious as to want to disfigure her.

“What are you thinking? This contains hemorrhoid cream…” Janice explained, though she wasn’t actually that malicious.

Upon hearing that it was hemorrhoid cream, Katie immediately put the cap back on with disgust.

However, Katie said she could accept it as long as it didn't actually involve disfiguring the other person.

Not long after, Katie found Regina on the playground and enthusiastically handed her the "cosmetics".

Regina glanced at the cosmetics without any written instructions, smelled them, and then accepted them.

Then, she encouraged Katie, her little follower, saying, "Great, you've found the secret to surviving in the 'Devil Body Group.' Keep it up, and maybe soon you'll become the number two in the group."

On this day, Katie successfully used two "gifts" to get closer to Regina.

On the other side, on the football field, Sam, wearing protective gear, began warming up.

It's clear that he recovered quite well after the last fight. Moreover, having learned his lesson, he has become much more composed.

Not long after, Aaron, for the sake of team harmony, took Sam to find Mike.

With Aaron as a witness, Sam took the initiative to back down and apologized to Mike again.

Seeing Sam's shifty gaze, Mike realized he was getting bored and had no interest in causing him any more trouble.

After Aaron and Sam left, George came to Mike's side: "Sam is definitely up to no good. I know his character."

"Forget it, it's all in the past." Mike shook his head, not taking Sam's matter to heart.

The quarterback is the best person to judge the level of running backs and safety.

After practicing with Mike for a while, Aaron has gotten used to his screens.

When the sparring training began, Aaron was surprised to find that Sam's skill level was actually lower than Mike's.

So, after finishing a round of training, Aaron, thinking about the team's performance, took the initiative to go to Coach George again.

Chapter 40 Rumors

For a week, Mike ignored Sam and continued his regular training, finally raising his physical attributes to 140 before the weekend.

On the other hand, after Katie fed Regina a week of weight-gain drinks, Regina's face looked much rounder.

Over the weekend, with the Summer Cup League approaching, the school cheerleading team members began their campaigning activities.

A temporary booth was set up on the main street of the shopping district, allowing residents who support the Melford Public High School football team to sign their names.

Janice and Damian were drafted to handle the autograph signing at the booth.

Because of the cheerleaders with their long legs shouting from the sidelines, many tourists stopped to watch on the street.

During a break, Regina pulled Katie aside, pointed to her tight little skirt, and demanded, "Are you sure that Yue Nan's diet drink works? I've gained more than a pound recently."

When trying to lose weight, start by reducing your bust size; when you're overweight, start by gaining weight in your legs.

Regina has had a profound experience this week. Because of her natural physique, she can manage to keep up with a temporary weight gain.

Faced with Regina's sharp questioning, Katie seemed a little guilty. She glanced around, fabricating a lie: "That...that diet drink works like this, it first replenishes the body with the necessary nutrients, and then it starts eliminating fat..."

Katie became more and more composed as she spoke, and finally, she feigned concern, saying, "Haven't you noticed that your health has been getting better and better lately?"

Regina, who had never used weight loss products, naturally had no idea about the intricacies involved.

Moreover, the drink Katie gave her was an athlete's muscle-building drink, which contains many beneficial ingredients.

“That’s true. I feel my skin has improved a lot lately, and I’m eating well and sleeping well…” Regina thought about her recent condition and, without further doubt, continued to ask, “When will I be able to lose weight?”

Regina takes great care of her figure.

"Well, it might take a month if things go smoothly, or it could take two months..." Katie replied uncertainly.

Gaining more than a pound a week is enough for Regina to gain six or seven pounds in a month.

Three or four kilograms of flesh is enough to ruin Regina's self-perceived "perfect" figure.

Unaware of the situation, Regina thought for a moment and then became somewhat irritated: "Another month? But for the sake of a good figure, it's not something I can't endure."

Just as the two finished chatting and were about to go back to continue campaigning, Regina inadvertently spotted Sharon, the twelfth-grade math teacher, on a street corner.

At that moment, standing opposite Sharon was a black man in his thirties, dressed in a disheveled manner, looking like a homeless person.

Labels like "Black person" and "homeless person" are associated with crime and trouble.

“Look over there…” Regina seemed excited, thinking she had discovered her math teacher’s secret.

Hearing the voice, Katie followed the direction the other person was pointing and saw the scene in the corner. She exclaimed in surprise, "What's the teacher doing there!"

Because she had lived in Africa, Katie didn't have much prejudice against Black people.

She was surprised simply because Sharon, a math teacher in her thirties, appeared so capable and strong at school that it was hard to imagine what she was like in real life.

At that moment, Sharon, who was in the corner, took out some change and handed it to the black man opposite her. The two exchanged a few more words before parting ways.

"Do you think Ms. Sharon is buying contraband?" Regina asked maliciously upon seeing this.

At school, Ms. Sharon has a somewhat aloof personality, which clashes with the strong-willed Regina.

Regina, who thought she had caught the other party red-handed, would definitely write it down in her notebook when she got back.

At that moment, Sharon, who had just parted ways with the black man, turned around and spotted Katie and the other two.

She smiled and called out, "Katie, come here for a second, I need to talk to you about something."

Katie was still thinking about how to persuade Regina not to gossip about Sharon everywhere.

Before Katie could make up her mind, Regina pushed her and urged, "Go quickly, and try to get some more exciting news from Sharon."

Forced to stand before the teacher, Katie seemed preoccupied and somewhat absent-minded.

On the other side, Ms. Sharon went straight to the point: "Katie, the rules for this year's College Cup Math Olympiad have been changed. Each participating school needs to have one female team member."

"You have a great talent for math, and I'd like you to join the math Olympiad team. Achieving a good ranking will give you an advantage when applying to university; you might want to consider it..."

Katie was still a little out of it, and mumbled a reply, "Okay, I'll think about it..."

Ms. Sharon assumed her student was hesitant because of a lack of confidence, so she comforted her, "It's okay, take your time to think it over. The math Olympiad is at the end of the year, we have plenty of time. Besides, I'm also planning to select some promising students from the eleventh grade to join the math Olympiad team this year."

After explaining her thoughts, Ms. Sharon said goodbye to Katie.

"Wait a minute~" Katie hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Is there anything else?" Sharon had plenty of patience with her good student.

"What did that homeless man say to you? Why did you give him money?" Katie finally asked the question that had been bothering her.

“Oh, you mean Danny?” Sharon said after organizing her thoughts. “He lives in the same neighborhood as me, and he’s not homeless. His child was sick recently, and he asked me for help.”

Texas is rife with rednecks, and people of other races often face discrimination. This is especially true for Black people who don't appear to be friendly; survival there is particularly difficult.

"So that's how it is!" Katie felt relieved, her doubts resolved.

Then she assured Sharon that she would seriously consider the math competition at the end of the year before saying goodbye.

Unsure of what her student was thinking, Sharon shook her head and left the shopping street.

Meanwhile, Katie, who had returned to the cheerleading squad, was pulled aside by Janice again.

"What did Ms. Sharon just say to you?" Janice asked, looking worried.

"It's nothing, just about the math Olympiad," Katie replied.

"Didn't they mention anything about contraband?" Janice pressed.

It turns out that after Regina returned, she spread the word to the cheerleaders about Sharon's purchase of contraband.

When Janice found out, she was not only worried about Ms. Sharon, but also worried that Katie would be implicated.

After learning about Regina's actions from Janice, Katie was furious: "How could she say that? Ms. Sharon was simply helping others and doing good deeds."

Afterwards, Katie told her friend in detail about how Ms. Sharon had helped the residents of the same community.

"This is going to be difficult. That bitch Regina has already spread the rumors, which may have a very bad impact on Professor Sharon," Janice sighed.

Spread a rumor and break a leg.

"No, I have to go and explain things to Regina and ask her to clarify things for Ms. Sharon." Katie thought of how kind her math teacher had been to her and decided to do something for her.
