Chapter 272 Proper and Reasonable, Coolest Girl in Town

However, after writing a full page, it still wasn’t solved, so Elise had to turn a page to continuecalculating. Then, she found that one set of formulas was wrong, so she quickly corrected it. Thishappened back and forth, while Addison had even lost several games already. Addison was a littlefrantic. “I’m not playing anymore. These troublemaking teammates. They actually quit mid-match! Theymade me drop two ranks.” The moment Addison said this, many people around them glanced over.Only then did she remember that she was in the library, so she quickly lowered her gaze and fell silent.

“Elise… Elise!” Addison whispered. “How much longer are you staying here?” Without looking up, Elisesaid, “A while longer.” “Then, I’ll leave first.” With that, Addison packed up her things and left whilereminding herself that she shouldn’t come to the library so often next time. After Addison left, Elisecontinued to solve the question. When she was done, she stretched and packed her things beforeleaving. The next day, she went to the classroom and heard many students discussing the welcomeparty. “I heard that the talent of the music department will perform on stage.

I’m really looking forward to it!” “Will there be a lot of handsome guys?” “There definitely will be. Theschool attaches great importance to the welcome party every year, but I wonder what performance ourclass will be putting on…” As they spoke, several students saw Janice walk in and immediately calledout to her, “Janice, you’re the art and literature committee member of our class. Is our classperforming?” Janice replied, “Yes! Our class has prepared a play.” “Really? Can I join?”

Janice smiled and said, “Of course. You can register with me.” After asking the student to write downher name, Janice couldn’t help but glance at Elise, who was sitting not far away, whereupon a brightgleam flashed across her eyes before she walked toward Elise. “Elise, there’s a character in our play

that’s very suitable for you. Why don’t you join too?” Elise simply replied, “I’m sorry, but I’m not veryinterested in plays. You can let the other students participate!”

Janice, however, didn’t relent. “As a member of the class, you ought to make a contribution to theclass. It’s not that nice of you to reject me so bluntly, right?” Elise stopped what she was doing andlooked up at Janice, who was giving her a provocative look. Then, she said, “I’m not good at acting,and I don’t have any experience. You should replace other students!” Janice deliberately raised her voice.“Elise, that’s not a good idea. You’re also a member of the class, but you don’t even participate in suchactivities. It seems like you don’t have any sense of honor for the class.”

Upon hearing this, the other students in the class couldn’t help but look over before gathering togetherto exchange whispers. Elise frowned and immediately said, “Janice, morality is used to restrain oneself,not to pressure others. Isn’t it morally wrong for you to do this?” The other students hurriedly added,“It’s not like everyone is required to participate in this kind of activity. If she’s not interested in the play,then you should just let it go.” “That’s right. Geniuses like her just need to study hard. Leave theseactivities to us.” Janice didn’t expect that her classmates would all speak up for Elise.

She was filled with anger, but she suppressed her temper and explained, “I just think this role is verysuitable for her, which is why I asked her to join. I’m afraid that if other students played this role, theywon’t be able to do the character justice.” She sounded utterly proper and reasonable! The studentsnext to her couldn’t help but ask, “What role is it that must be played by Elise? Tell us about it!” Janiceintended for Elise to play a witch, but if she told them about this, it would definitely cause dissatisfactionamong her classmates, so she said, “I wanted to let her play the female lead. I think it’s very suitablefor her.”

“Wow, the female lead! Elise, why don’t you think about it?” Elise figured that Janice wouldn’t be sokind as to give her a role as important as the female lead, so she considered it for a while beforeasking, “Are you being serious?” Janice felt her heart being torn apart, but in order to prevent herclassmates from getting any ideas, she forced herself to say, “Of course I am. I really want you to play

the female lead, but you’re not interested, right? I’ll just replace someone else, then…” “Elise, just do it!After all, you don’t want to let her good intentions go to waste,” Addison said, appearing out ofnowhere.

Upon hearing this, Elise agreed. “Okay! I’ll give it a try…” At this point, Janice wanted to give herself afierce slap. She wanted to play the role of the female lead herself, but now, she had to give it to Elisebecause of her mistake. However, it didn’t matter… She was the writer, so all of the creative power wasin her hands. She definitely had ways to let Elise be overshadowed as the female lead, and she mustprove that she was better than Elise! When the time came, she figured she could outshine Elise at thewelcome party. “Okay, since you’ve agreed, then come rehearse with us in the afternoon.

We’ll be in the large conference room at 6:00PM. Don’t be late.” At 6:00PM, Janice was the earliest toshow up in the conference room. As her classmates began to arrive one after another, Janice swepther gaze around the room but didn’t see Elise. Her brows furrowed as she asked, “Where’s Elise? Whyisn’t she here?” The students looked at each other and answered, “I don’t know!” Janice was about tolose her temper when the door of the conference room was pushed open and Elise walked in. As theperson in charge of the class performance, Janice chided her without hesitation.

“Elise, you’re late.” Elise lifted her wrist and looked at the time. “It’s exactly 6:00PM. How am I late?”Only then did Janice notice that it was indeed 6:00PM. Her face flushed in an instant while she felt likeshe had been put on the spot. The other students saw this and helped her smooth things over. “Okay,now that she’s here, let’s begin.” Janice withdrew her gaze and suppressed her anger. “Today is ourfirst rehearsal, so let’s first confirm the roles and distribute the script.” Elise found a seat and sat down,while the other students successively reported their desired roles.

After Janice gave each student their scripts, she still had two scripts in her hand. She looked in Elise’sdirection and immediately walked over. “Elise, this is your script. Play your role well!” After retrieving it,Elise opened it and took a look. It was indeed for the role of the female lead, but… Elise flipped to the

back, and her lips curled up meaningfully. Then, she looked at Janice, who didn’t shy away from hergaze, but was giving her a provocative look instead, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Elise roughly understood what was going on. However, she didn’t say anything and simply studied thescript carefully. Since she had agreed to participate, she was going to take it seriously. After readingthe script, Elise set it aside and got up. “Elise, where are you going?” Elise explained, “The restroom.I’ll be back in a moment.”

With that, Elise walked out. Janice stared at her retreating back, her eyes flashing with a cunninggleam as she followed her out. The restroom next to the conference room was designed in the form ofsmall cubicles. Elise was about to go out when she was done, but the door was locked from theoutside. She asked sternly, “Who is it? Who’s out there?”
