Chapter 219 Recovering Her Lost Memories
As soon as Elise entered the classroom, Jacinda saw her right away. Unlike before, the latter instantly took a book and covered her face in an attempt to diminish her presence, all the while hoping fervently that the other girl would not notice her.
The incident with Ashlyn had been a huge lesson for Jacinda. She had also realized that she should try and avoid Elise as much as possible and not cross her path at school.
Besides, Jacinda had also taken the initiative to apologize to Elise. “Elise, I made a lot of mistakes in the past. I shouldn’t have spread rumors about you among our classmates and destroy your reputation. I sincerely apologize for finding fault with you all this while. I’m sorry.”
Meanwhile, Elise was busy with her homework and she frowned upon hearing Jacinda’s words. Then, she gradually lifted her head and glanced at Jacinda, who was standing in front of her.
“Is this a trick?” Elise retorted, to which Jacinda immediately denied, “No, it’s not. I truly want to apologize to you. We’re classmates after all, so I really hope that we can get along peacefully.”
However, Elise ignored Jacinda and continued to work on her homework, which made the latter remain on tenterhooks.
“Elise, can you say something, please? I can’t stand it and I’m quite frightened when you ignore me,” Jacinda said with a whimper and it seemed that she was about to burst into tears the next minute.
Elise, on the other hand, felt quite bothered by the commotion by her ears so she stopped writing. “If you don’t have anything else to do, then you should go and do some worksheets. Stop focusing on me. I’m generally clear cut on my likes and dislikes so I’m warning you to stop bothering me!”
As soon as Jacinda heard Elise’s words, she finally felt at ease. It’s great that Elise hasn’t taken everything to heart. From now on, I must stay away from her and not bother her. With that in mind, Jacinda went back to her seat mindfully and started to work on her worksheet.
Elise noticed Jacinda walk off but she decided to ignore it. After completing her worksheet, she instinctively turned her head and murmured, “Mikayla, let’s…”
Before Elise could finish her sentence, she suddenly caught herself. Coming back to her senses, she stared at Mikayla’s empty seat and heaved a sigh. Mikayla has been gone for quite some time now, but I’m still not used to things without her. I wonder how she’s doing overseas. Just then, she felt slightly dejected as she pondered over the situation. Mikayla’s the first friend I made in school but right now, I don’t even know what’s going on in her life.
Resigned, Elise heaved a sigh. Subsequently, she shifted her gaze and continued to work on her worksheet, but she seemed to have lost all of her motivation.
In the afternoon after school had ended, Elise walked out of school by herself along the walkway. As soon as she reached the entrance, she heard a loud honk and soon after that, her cell phone, which was in her pocket, rang. “Elise, it’s me, Jack! I’m here and I’m slightly to the left in front of you. Get in the car.” Elise turned to look in that direction as soon as she heard his words and indeed, she saw Jack’s car.
Slightly perplexed, she made her way toward him anyway and knocked on his window. “What’s up?”
Meanwhile, Jack scanned his surroundings before turning to her. “What are you waiting for? Get inside! We won’t be able to leave this place if my fans realize and swarm us!”
And so, Elise had no choice but to enter the backseat of the car before shutting the door.
Instantly after that, he started the ignition and drove off.
“So, what’s going on exactly?” she asked. However, Jack maintained a secretive look. “I can’t tell you anything yet, but I’ll tell you when we get there.”
Meanwhile, Elise was totally in the dark regarding his intentions so she gave up and stopped asking. She took out a worksheet from her bag and started on it with a focused look in her eyes.
As for Jack, he noticed that she didn’t even give a response after such a prolonged period, so he took a look at her through the rearview mirror. He was caught by surprise upon glancing at her and he couldn’t help mentioning, “I finally realize why you’re so good in your studies. I guess even the top students need to put in effort.”
Elise retorted without even lifting her head, “Don’t tell me that you no longer have to put in any effort just because you’re now a superstar?”
