    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 ss’ Chinese reading lesson as she was the ss monitor. Halfway through the


    reading, she deliberately took a Chinese passage and put it in front of Elise.


    “Please read this for uster.”


    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 thenguage fluently. For some, their pronunciation might not be


    urate while others might even face difficulties conversing in thenguage.


    Jasmine reckoned that Elise must be terrible in Chinese oral and didn’t dare to read the passage in front


    of the ss 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 ss listens to me but you. You think you’re so special, huh?”


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


    and


    looked toward Elise.


    At first, Elise did not understand why Jasmine would insist on her to read the Chinese passage.


    However, after


    seeing her relentless determination, she knew that it was because Jasmine was caught in the


    comparison trap.


    In fact, Elise had longprehended how girls tend topare with one another inwardly, and she


    thought that


    was very meaningless. Thus, she had no intention to be bothered with Jasmine, but Jasmine actually


    started


    provoking her first


    “Since the other ssmates would listen to you, go ask them to read instead. Why do you have to ask


    me?”


    Jasmine snorted. “You‘re a neer and you have not read in front of the ss before, so I need to


    understand

    your situation.”


    Although it was a rather awkward reason, it sounded somewhat reasonable.


    Jasmine then added, “You just have to read once today and I won’t ask you to read anymore in the


    future.”


    “Great!” Elise hummed in response. In order to save the trouble in the future, Elise stopped refusing. She


    took up the Chinese textbook and started reading the passage seriously under Jasmine’s anticipation.


    However, as soon as she started reading, the entire ss went silent when they heard Elise’s reading


    because


    she was so fluent it was enjoyable to listen to.


    On the other hand, Jasmine’s expression changed at once. With her face turning pale, she clenched her


    fists


    tight. Elise was reading so fluently that it was as if she was raised abroad. Her fluency was much better


    than


    Jasmine’s, and she didn’t seem to be a country bumpkin at all!


    No way. This is impossible! Jasmine refused to believe it as she stared at Elise in disbelief.


    After reading the passage, Elise lifted her head to nce at Jasmine and asked, “Are you happy now?”


    Jasmine still wanted to say something, but she was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, because of this


    episode, the


    other students had apletely different impression of Elise. wa


    It turned out that although the new joiner had a rather average look, she wasn’t that incapable after all.


    Not only was she good at Math Olympiad, but her Chinese oral was perfect. They even thought that


    Elise’s fluency in Chinese had way surpassed Jasmine’s, who was the Chinese ss representative.


    At the same time, little did Elise expect that this small episode would cause the others to have a different


    impression of her. Thereafter, she sat down again and continued practicing math questions. The


    competition


    was approaching, so she was determined to practice as much as possible.


    On the other hand, Danny was used to beingte, and today was no different. Since he waste to ss,


    he didn’t


    know about the incident that had happened in the morning. Nevertheless, during recess, he realized that


    unlike


    normal days where everyone would ignore Elise, there were actually some ssmates who initiated


    conversations with her today. Besides, Elise actually got along well with them and didn’t seem to be


    distant,


    This made Danny perplexed. Since when did Elise be this popr?


    “Hi Elise, can I be your friend?” While Elise was solving the practice questions, a shy female voice


    emerged in


    lifted her eyes to see a small-sized girl, who was staring at her with herrge, alluring eyes. The girl’s


    face was even filled with excitement. As Elise would dly receive a ssmate who was friendly, she


    replied, “Of course!”


    The girl smiled brightly upon hearing Elise’s response. “Hi Elise, I’m Mika Jameson. Nice to meet


    you.”


    Looking at Mika’s hand which was stretched toward her, Elise was startled. Given that her looks


    weren’t as attractive as others, it was a luxury for her to make friends. After pausing for a while, Elise


    shook hands with Mika and said, “Nice to meet you too, Mika.”


    Mika was d at Elise’s response. To be frank, she wanted to learn Chinese from Elise. Her Chinese


    examination results were far from satisfactory, and her oral was even rustier. Hence, she wished to learn


    Chinese from Elise after seeing her fluent reading in the morning. “Elise, you’re so fluent in Chinese. Can


    you teach me the


    Initially, Elise thought Mika was going to ask her for a huge favor, but it turned out to be a small matter,


    so Elise was more than willing to help out a friend.


    was


    “Sure. Bring your Chinese textbook. I’ll teach you”


    As such, Mika quickly brought her textbook and started learning from Elise seriously. Before this, her


    oral was


    bad, so Elise taught her ways to correct her pronunciation. Not only that, Elise even rmended some


    methods to learn Chinese, which benefited Mika a lot.


    In the afternoon when school was over, it was the first time that Elise did not walk out of the school


    alone.


    Instead, she was with Mika, and the two girls chatted happily all the way to the school gate. Soon,


    Elise spotted the familiar car of the Griffith Family, so she bid Mika goodbye and walked toward the


    car. It was


    Alexander who hade to fetch her today.


    After Elise got into the car, Alexander started the car engine slowly and departed. Elise did not take a


    break


    either while on the way as she took out the practice questions and started grinding on them again. Sitting


    in the driver’s seat, Alexander observed Elise through the rearview mirror. He had to admit that although


    Elise had a rather average appearance, for some reason, she gave off an unworldly aura, which didn’t


    seem to match her looks at all.


    Alexander retracted his gaze and decided to initiate a conversation with Elise, which rarely urred.


    “Are you


    going to participate in the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition?”
