Jenna noticed the fleetingplexity in Mirabe''s expression before giving her an approving thumbs-up.


    "Queen Mira, you never fail to amaze. Your finesse in this little game is on another level!"


    Mirabe raised an eyebrow, recalling the supportive messages from ssmates on Messenger after the Twitter drama yesterday. Seeing everyone in such high spirits, she decided to be generous for once. "If any of you have friends who want in, I can take up to three extra requests per person," she offered.


    A shy voice broke the silence, "Can I get an autographed photo, please?"


    Mirabe, who wasn''t into fan culture and had no clue what an ''autographed photo'' was, paused for a moment before nodding, "Sure."


    It''s just a signature, right?


    The student''s visible joy set off a chain reaction, turning a single request into a ss-wide demand for personalized autographs.


    Watching the students eagerlypile their lists, Jenna turned to Mirabe. "Queen Mira, do you even know what an ''autographed photo'' is?"


    "Not a clue," Mirabe replied,pletely unapologetic.


    Jenna chuckled, shaking her head, and then exined, "An ''autographed photo'' means the signature is personally addressed to the fan."


    While a in signature might be easy-many celebrities had teams to handle those—personalized ones required the star''s own hand.


    With at least forty die-hard Juztin fans in the ss, and considering Mirabe''s generous offer to take extra requests, there were easily over a hundred autographs to sign. Someone was definitely in for a sore wrist.


    Jenna couldn''t help but sigh in admiration; she had underestimated Queen Mira. Mirabe was just as skilled at ensnaring her own ''brother'' as she was anyone else.


    Remembering the times she''d been bombarded with test papers and dragged into exams, Jenna suddenly felt a sense of bnce.


    Word about The Advanced ss''s autograph venture spread like wildfire, and students from other sses who were Leo fans turned green with envy.


    So, the morning break was dominated not by yesterday''s Twitter scandal but by the excitement over getting a hand-signed treasure.


    Summer overheard the chatter, keeping herposure while her eyes betrayed her mounting irritation.


    She had hoped that yesterday''s online fiasco, with Michelle stirring the pot, would finally ruin Mirabe''s reputation. Yet, nothing seemed to have changed.


    When Zach took to social media to staunchly defend Mirabe, Summer felt a moment of suffocation from sheer frustration. Even during her early days in showbiz, when scandals arose, he had never defended her as fiercely as he had Mirabe the day before.


    Now, hearing ssmates excitedly discuss Leo''s autograph, the resentment she had suppressed the night before began to grow wildly again.


    Before Mirabe''s return, Summer had forbidden even the mention of his name at school, let alone distributing his autographs.


    Why should Mirabe get to do this?


    Although she knew she shouldn''t dwell on this double standard, she couldn''t help herself.


    Summer flipped through her book, agitated, as her phone began to vibrate in her pocket. She didn''t want to check it, not even caring to see who it was.


    But after several minutes of incessant buzzing, she snatched it out, irritation evident in her movements.


    She''d stayed up toote, and the rest of her writing awaited her, unfinished-a silent testament to her inner turmoil.
