Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 24

Jasmine’s eyes darkened as she felt her heart drop. During the morning reading session the next day, Jasmine led the class’ Chinese reading lesson as she was the class monitor. Halfway through the reading, she deliberately took a Chinese passage and put it in front of Elise.

“Please read this for us later.”

Without even looking back at Jasmine, Elise rejected directly. “Sorry, I don’t want to.”

Jasmine knew that Elise would definitely not dare to do so, so she was even more determined to make Elise read Chinese. After all, Chinese was not their mother tongue. So, many students were often able to score in their

 

examinations but were unable to speak the language fluently. For some, their pronunciation might not be

accurate while others might even face difficulties conversing in the language.

 

Jasmine reckoned that Elise must be terrible in Chinese oral and didn’t dare to read the passage in front of the class lest she was embarrassed. However, that was exactly what Jasmine wanted-to embarrass her.

“You have no choice but to read it, otherwise I’ll give you a demerit point.” Students would be given demerit

points if they acted inappropriately. The majority of the students were afraid of getting demerit points, but Elise

was an exception. Not only was she not intimidated at all, but she actually had no intention to be bothered about

Jasmine.

“Go ahead and give me a demerit point then.”

Annoyed, Jasmine further threatened Elise with her authority’. “What are you trying to do, Elise? The whole class listens to me but you. You think you’re so special, huh?”

Jasmine’s words had drawn the attention of the rest of the class to Elise as the students stopped reading and

looked toward Elise.
