Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 24

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.

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 long comprehended how girls tend to compare 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 classmates would listen to you, go ask them to read instead. Why do you have to ask me?”

Jasmine snorted. “You‘re a newcomer and you have not read in front of the class 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 class 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.

This made Danny perplexed. Since when did Elise become this popular?
