Coolest Girl in Town

“Look at you two, strangling each other while Myres is out there living his best life. I’d be better off dead to have a brother and a boyfriend like you two if I were Alicia.”

Those who weren’t obsessed had a bird’s-eye view, and Narissa’s hard-hitting words woke the pair up definitively.

At that, Jamie and Paul gazed at each other, reconciling tacitly after gaining confirmation within themselves.

“Don’t worry. Gale Myres won’t be laughing much longer. We’ll be able to avenge Alicia soon,” Elise steered the situation back before asking to speak to Narissa alone in a room.

Narissa, on the other hand, couldn’t help feeling wary, seeing Elise acting mysterious.

“Is there something you want me to do?” she asked.

“You can put it that way,” replied Elise earnestly while grabbing Narissa’s hand as they stood face to face.

“Alicia’s issue gave me a warning. If the enemy risks everything and we don’t receive the news in time, we’ll make the wrong decision easily. So, I’ve decided to tell you the truth.”

“What truth?” Narissa’s ears perked up.

As Elise turned the voice changer off, her former signature enchanting voice returned when she spoke again. “Can you tell who I am, Rissa?”

“Elise?!” Narissa’s eyes lit up, and she clutched Elise’s hands in joy. “You’re still alive!”

Narissa bawled with joy as she wrapped her arms around Elise and pulled the latter into her arms before Elise could say anything else.

“What matters is that you’re alive. Hahaha, thank the heavens! Ah, Elise, I love you!”

Even Elise had a tear drop at the corner of her eyes as she patted her best friend’s back as though coaxing a child. “You child.”

“Come on, let me take a good look at you. Take the mask off!”

It felt so surreal to Narissa that she couldn’t wait to realize the dream.

“Maybe some other time,” Elise rejected her gently. “l have an injury on my face. The scar is a work in progress. I’ll let you take a look when it’s completely healed.”
