Chapter 89,Coolest Girl in Town
What will he think?” He shrugged. “But I didn’t lie. We are living under the same roof, just not in the same room.” Oh god. I’m never hearing the end of this. “Forget it. I’m going to be late.” She hurried away, and he saw her off. His lips curl into a smile, and his mood got better. Elise walked as fast as she could to the classroom.
“Hey, why are you running, Elise?” Mikayla asked. Elise was frustrated, so she grumbled, “Mikayla, life is hard.” That confused Mikayla. “Sorry? What are you talking about? Is it a game? But that’s Life Is Strange.” Elise took a deep breath and calmed herself. “It’s nothing. We should get to class now.” It took Elise the whole morning to calm down and put the morning’s events behind her. During the afternoon break, Samantha and Riley asked Elise to eat out together, and Elise invited Mikayla as well.
Just when they were about to exit the gates, she saw a familiar guy standing across the street, and her heart sank. She thought she got the wrong guy, but when he took his sunglasses off and smiled at her, she knew she wasn’t seeing things. Elise snapped out of it and told her friends, “You girls go ahead.
I need to settle some matters, so I won’t be coming.” Samantha was concerned, seeing that Elise was leaving so suddenly. “What is it? Do you need our help?” Elise refused, “It’s fine. No big deal, so I’ll handle it myself.” The girls said nothing more and left. Elise stared at the man across the street until he finally came up to her.
“It’s been a while.” Elise was surprised that he was here, but she smiled too. “How did you find me?” Noel smiled at her. “I met up with Julius. He told me about you, so here I am.” I see. “Let’s talk at a more private place,” Noel suggested. Elise said yes, and she left with him. They went to a private restaurant. It was located in a quiet spot, and the ambience was great. Noel and Elise got a room for themselves, and the guy kept looking at her.
“Wow, that getup is ugly. Anyone else wouldn’t have recognized you.” Elise took a sip from her teacup and said nothing. Since she was keeping her silence, Noel continued, “How have you been doing?” Elise smiled. “What do you think?” Noel nodded. “Not bad, I guess. It’s a pity you left. You would have been a great celebrity if you had stayed.” Elise didn’t respond. Instead, she looked outside the window. “I heard you’re someone’s songwriter now.”
Noel answered, “You know the guy too. In fact, I came here on his behalf today.” Elise knew why he came, but she would not budge no matter what. “Noel, you know I would never write another song.” Noel interjected, “It’s been years. Can’t you let it go?” “Put yourself in my shoes. Can you let it go?”
