Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Her Greed Led to Her Own Demise,Coolest Girl in Town

Elise was about to add something on her eye makeup when there was a knock on the door. “Elise, are you inside?” Could it be that Mikayla called someone to guide me onstage? After hurriedly drawing a few more strokes on her face, Elise opened the door and went out. Elise didn’t know the person at the door. She thought she had hallucinations and asked tentatively, “Did you call for me?” The female classmate nodded. “I’m from the dance group. The drama group is looking for you everywhere, so I just called out your name, but I didn’t expect you to be here.

Quickly, follow me to the back stage!” Elise had a bad feeling about it, but she still went back anyway. She opened the curtain and entered the dressing room, only to find out that Jose was losing his temper. “I don’t care, Janice. I came to be a support because of you, but now you want me to go on stage and be a joke? Don’t even think about it!” He had a gloomy face, looking as if he could devour someone, so no one dared to go forward to persuade him. Without the most important supporting roles, the whole drama seemed to have a beginning and no proper end, and even if they bit the bullet and acted it out, the audience might end up not understanding what the whole drama was about.

The most likely outcome would be it being edited into funny videos by the whole school, which meant they would be left with a bad name forever. Jose did not only represent himself; other actors were actually secretly thinking of backing out as well, but because of Janice’s aggressiveness, they dared not say it explicitly. “Jose, don’t worry. There is always a solution to everything. Let me think about it…” Janice comforted the man in front of her, but she would glance at the entrance from time to time, and finally, she saw Elise, who had somehow managed to become uglier. “Elise!” Janice raised her voice and walked over to Elise while shouting. “So great that you are here!”

Elise didn’t manage to escape and was abruptly hugged by Janice. Her face was plastered with awkwardness and reluctance. One by one, she pried Janice’s fingers away with disgust. “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t do this—we are not that close.” Janice, on the other hand, pretended to be generous and tried to flatter Elise. “You’re still angry with me about what happened before? Fine, then I’ll apologize again. I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?” Jose stood up with his knight’s helmet and asked casually, “What happened before?” Janice hurriedly explained, “It was nothing. It was just a little misunderstanding, Jose. Don’t worry about it—we can solve it among ourselves.”

Elise had nothing to say—she thought that Janice’s choice of using the word ‘we’ to describe her and Janice was quite disgusting. Seeing that Jose was convinced, Janice pursued her victory and began attacking Elise. “So, Elise, this is what happened: I don’t know why, but we can’t get in touch with the classmate who is playing the role of a witch. The drama is about to start, and only you are an outsider who’s familiar with the script… Do you think you can carry the role and help us out with our issue?” So, that’s her plan. When reading the script, Elise had noticed that the two characters, the heroine and the witch, were the most interesting.

There was a rival scene between the two—the heroine slashed the witch with a knife, which led to a good ending in the play. When Elise got the role of the heroine, she was thinking that it was just a concession Janice had to make. In fact, Janice’s real purpose was to make her play the witch. The role would be hated by the audience and tortured by the heroine in the play. Originally, she thought that quitting the drama would avoid this conflict, but she didn’t expect that Janice still managed to rope her in. Everyone was waiting for Elise’s reaction, and Jose was particularly impatient.

“Stop pretending to be shy, man. There are a lot of scenes involving the witch! Not to mention your face… You don’t even need to put on makeup; you can go on stage directly after changing clothes! So, uh… E-Elise, right? I am ordering you to take the role as a senior. You got it?” No one expected Jose to be so disrespectful to girls, and there were even some whispers passing around the crowd. Even so, no one dared to stand up to defend Elise at this critical moment, so they could only look at her with sympathy, hoping for a miracle to happen, while also expecting Elise to be this miracle that they were all waiting for.
