My Name is NOT Cupcake novel Chapter 16

"So this is your town," I said after I swallowed the food. He smiled.

"It's your town now too, Cupcake," he said. My smile dropped and I sighed. Elias only laughed before he took another bite of his burger.

"I don't even know why I still try," I muttered to myself before I finished the rest of my food in quietly as Elias went on and on about the town and the people in it. It was really interesting watching him get excited about what he was talking about. It made me smile. I could tell that he really cared about this town and it's people. After we finished eating, we continued our tour to the high school, middle school, and the elementary school. I lingered in the elementary school a bit before we walked to a building near the school. It was quiet and looked quite homey.

"Eli, where are we?" I asked. His smile was tight, and he looked uncomfortable.

"I personally don't like being here, but I have a feeling you would love it," he said. We walked inside to be met with a reception area. A moment later, a middle-aged woman rushed to the desk. Her ivory skin was flushed pink. She had high cheekbones and small almond shaped light brown eyes. Her black hair was pulled into a loose bun on the top of her head.

"Mr. Madsen, it's an honor to have you here. What can I help you with today?" she asked in a rush.

"Nova here loves doing this kind of stuff. I'll be back in a few hours to pick her up," he said. I turned to him confused.
