My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Raine and Snow were not twins, but they looked like two peas in a pot, graceful, gentle, and lovely. They were the goddesses in the eyes of the boys, recognized as the most popular girls in high school and college, respectively. 

As soon as the two appeared, they attracted the attention of many people. 

Raine and Snow greeted a few classmates before sitting down. 

“We have been waiting.” Their friends winked at them as soon as they sat down. “See that newcomer of Class B of the eleventh grade over there? The forum is filled with her photos, saying that she is now the most popular girl in the school.” 

The two sisters looked back and saw Nicole, a hint of nonchalance flashing in their eyes. 

Raine smiled, pretending not to care. “It doesn’t matter. It is not easy to be the most popular girl in Royal Creek Institute.” 

“Exactly. Being the most popular girl requires not only good looks but also good grades.” 

“Absolutely. Raine and Snow have always scored first on every exam.” The two sisters from the Riddle family could firmly cling to the title of the most popular girls in the school, not just because they were pretty but also because of their outstanding academic performance, in a different league than those girls with only beauty. 

“Let’s eat. Most popular or not is up to others to decide. There is no need to care too much.” Snow calmly ordered her meal, as if she did not care about the popularity title. 

“Yeah, Snow doesn’t care about this vanity title.” Snow’s friend smiled and rolled her eyes toward Nicole. 

Seeing that Nicole did not respond, Bradley rolled his eyes back at them. “Pretentious.” 

Lulu scoffed. “Agree. Those two sisters are incredibly showy.” 

“It doesn’t matter. Don’t let those random people affect your appetite.” Nicole’s beauty was unparalleled even when she smirked. 

Lulu and Bradley quickly nodded in agreement. “You are right. Don’t let those random people affect our appetite.” 

The three of them looked at each other with a smile and then heartily continued their meals. 

Bradley was cheerful, while Lulu was innocent and cute. Nicole could not help but start to chat with them. It was her first time making friends at school, and it felt good. 

In the midst of laughter, the three of them finished their lunch. Just as they were about to get up to leave, several people stood in their way. 

“You are now the most popular girl in the school?” There were three of them. The leading guy let out a sinister laugh. When everyone saw him, they gasped. That guy was Austin Woods, the notorious school bully of the twelfth grade. 

The Woods family was San Joto’s famous upstart, very wealthy. Austin was a school flaneur and never scared of anyone except the two Finley brothers. 

Nicole looked at the rowdy guy and felt disgusted, her eyes turning frosty. “I am not. Get out of the way.” 

All the students in the cafeteria held their breath when Nicole said that. Except for Gary, no one in the school had ever dared to speak to Austin like that. 

“Huh? You have got an attitude. I like it.” Austin smiled and reached to touch Nicole’s face.
