Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 114,Coolest Girl in Town

Elise paused for a moment. She was a double degree graduate and only came to Athesea’s high school because of a bet with her grandfather. She never considered any education after high school, since she had graduated from University of Edinburgh with a double degree already. Going through college for the second time was pointless for her. Elise shook her head. “Not exactly.” Zachary said, “I’m aiming for Princeton.” The top college in the nation?

 Elise said, “I wish you all the best then.” Zachary looked at her seriously and pursed his lips. “Elise, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to get into Princeton if you want to. You can consider it.” Elise didn’t answer that. Instead, she said, “I don’t really like Princeton.” In other words, she would never opt for that college. Zachary was crestfallen for obvious reasons. Princeton was the top college in the nation, and his family wanted him to get into it, so he had no choice but to do it.

But that meant he couldn’t meet Elise, since she was not interested in it. “It’s fine. As long as you’re in Northcliff.” Elise knew what Zachary was trying to say, but she had to give him a clear-cut refusal. Dragging things out was a big taboo in relationships.

sake.” Another lady called Nelly agreed, “You know, you can get first prize even without any makeup on in a Halloween costume contest. If anyone here is ugly, it’s you.” Elise crossed her arms and stared at the ladies as she replied without skipping a beat, “Honestly, I might be ugly, but at least I’m not a troll. You could be cast in the first Harry Potter’s film and nobody could tell the difference

 that was funny. I can jog your memory for you if you’ve forgotten all about it.” Ashlyn could hear the implicit threat. She came here in the first place to embarrass Elise, but she never thought Elise would manage to shut her down so easily. Queenie and Nelly were about to retort, but Ashlyn stopped them. “Let it go, girls. We don’t have to waste our time with her. Don’t forget what we’re here for.” Queenie and Nelly were disgruntled.
