Lisa Manoban came from a poor family, but that never stopped her from pursuing her education. She does everything she can to give her family a better life and to help her parents support her stepsister's schooling as well. She's a Third-year high school student at YG University. She's mostly unnoticed at school-because she's poor-but she prefers it that way. Less drama, more peace. That's how she plans to graduate. Jennie Ruby Jane Kim is the school bully. Beautiful, rich, admired by many-she seems to have it all. But people are afraid of her because of her attitude. If she tells you to kneel, you kneel. That's the kind of power she holds. She never notices Lisa in class, even though they're classmates. Jennie is always late and walks in like she owns the place. But what happens when, one day, Lisa becomes her next target? Will Lisa be able to avoid the chaos? Or... will she fall for Jennie? LISA G!P⚠️❗ Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
