Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 4

Matthew left after they arrived at school. Elise looked at the glittering gold sign that read,“Springfield High School." This feels pretty nostalgic. I haven't been to school for a long time, shethought. After reporting to school, she followed the teacher to her classroom. As soon as she camein, the whole class was astir. “So she's the Griffith Family's fiancée. Isn't she too hideous? How canshe be good enough for the five Griffith siblings?” “Holy cow! The way she dresses is so uncool—asexpected of a country bumpkin.” “If she’s from the countryside, she must be poor in her studies.Why is she placed in our class?” ...... Seeing that everyone was talking about her, Elise realized atonce that she had become famous. She clicked her tongue, knowing right off the top of her headwho was behind this. Danny's so childish, she thought. No one in the class was willing to share adesk with Elise, but she didn't mind that. Instead, she sat alone in a corner. When it was time forrecess, Elise went to the ladies’ room, only to be stopped outside by a few female students. Some ofthem had dyed hair, and some wore heavy makeup. In short, they looked delinquent. Lydia Harperthreatened in an overbearing manner, “You must be Elise Sinclair. Be sensible and get out of theGriffith Residence as well as away from Athesea, I'm telling you!” Elise’s lips twitched. /t seems I'mreally unwelcome to the people of Athesea. But I'm here against my will as well, she thought. “Did youhear what Lydia said, you ugly girl?” Elise came to her senses and replied nonchalantly, “Yes, I did.But I'm not leaving. I'm staying here no matter what.” ...... Meanwhile, Danny was lying across hisdesk in Class 12A. He had just woken up from a nap when he heard some female classmates talkingin front of him. “I heard that Lydia of Class 12F had gone to teach Elise a lesson. Tsk, tsk, she'sfinished.” “She'll be roughed up, I guess...” Danny raised his eyes slightly. It was him who spread therumors, but that was only because he wanted Elise to have a rough time at school. He didn’t want toget her killed, or Jonah would definitely kill him. At the thought of this, he dashed out of theclassroom. Meanwhile, the ladies’ room was a complete mess. The four delinquent girls who hadcome to teach Elise a lesson got the hell beaten out of them, especially Lydia, who looked a sorrysight with her head held down in the sink. “I, Elise Sinclair, hate being threatened more thananything else. Don't ever mess with me again! Got it?” “Yes, we got it! We were wrong! We're sorry!”Elise dusted her hands together and was about to leave when she saw Danny standing behind herwith a look of astonishment. “You...” During the past few days at school, Danny learned that Lydiahad learned kickboxing. Yet she and the other three ended up like this after ganging up on Elise... Hehad a sudden feeling that Elise might be no pushover. “I trained myself by cutting trees andclimbing mountains in the countryside. These people are so terrible at fighting.” Upon listening toElise’s explanation, Danny had an epiphany. So that's it, he thought. Coming to his senses, hefollowed her out of the restroom. “By the way, what are you doing in the ladies’ room?" Elise staredat Danny with a peculiar look in her eyes. Danny's face instantly flushed with embarrassment. “That'snone of your business! I'm here because I like it,” he replied, before quickening his pace toward hisclassroom. Elise was rendered speechless. After she returned to her classroom, her cell phonebeeped on the desk. It was a text message that read, “Help me, Boss!" “?' Elise texted back. Therewould be no good coming out of this call for help, she thought. “Danny Griffith of the Griffith Family—my sworn enemy—challenged me to a race at the Nightwing Circuit tonight. Please help me out,Boss.’ “No, I'm not." Elise lay across her desk, looking totally uninterested. “Did Danny not bully youat the Griffith Residence, Boss? He's such a nuisance, after all. Just help me out, Boss. I'll pay you 5million once you win the race.’ The person kept pressing her to help him out, so Elise pondered fora moment. Indeed, Danny's quite annoying. Five million isn't much, but it's decent enough, shethought. Therefore, she languidly texted back, “Okay. I'm at Springfield High. Come and pick me upafter school this afternoon.” After a moment's thought, she sent Matthew a text message, telling himhe didn't have to pick her up after school as she had something to deal with and would be homelate. They had added each other on WhatsApp this morning to make it convenient for him to pickher up in the afternoon. Upon receiving Elise’s text message, Matthew merely replied “Okay’ withoutasking much. After all, he was not interested in her at all. ...... Nightwing Circuit was a well-knownrace track in Athesea, and those who hung out there were all rich dandies and scions of the upperclass. When school was over, Elise got into a Lamborghini; the man in its driver's seat was about thesame age as Danny. Jamie Keller frowned after shooting a glance at Elise. “Who are you? You'vegotten in the wrong car.” Elise curved her lips into a smile. “You don't recognize me?” Jamie's jawdropped in astonishment at the familiar voice. “Holy sh*t! How come you're disfigured, Boss?” Myboss is a cool and cute little fairy. Why did she become like this? I couldn't recognize her at all! hethought. Elise buckled up and said with a casual air, “Let's go and replace a place to remove mymakeup before we have dinner.” “Roger that, Boss,” Jamie replied before he started the car anddrove off.
