Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

It was getting hot in J City in May, and the semester was about to end. Students at the University of J City were getting busy.

Graduating students were busy looking for jobs, preparing for their defense, and saying goodbyes… Meanwhile, Estelle and her friends were also busy preparing for exams and internships for the second half of the year. On Thursday night, there was a party in Estelle’s class to celebrate the class president’s birthday – a perfect. chance for everyone to relax and ease their study stress.

At lunch, Isis asked Estelle if she was going to the party that night.

She was a bit excited. “The class president spent a fortune for tonight’s party at Midnight Bar. I’ve never been to Midnight Bar before, so I’m definitely going to have fun.”

Estelle said lightly, “I’m not going.”

“Every time there’s a class event, you don’t participate. Those who know you understand that you don’t like the noise, but there are always people behind your back saying that you’re aloof and isolated,” said Isis, her words muffled by a mouthful of pasta. “The class president even came to me specifically, asking me to make sure you

come!”

Estelle focused on her pasta, unmoved.

Isis pleaded, “Just come, it’s no fun for me alone. Just think of it as keeping me company. Besides, I already promised the class president you’d come.”

Eating noodles with a fork in her right hand, Estelle lifted her left hand and teld up two fingers.

Isis laughs, “Two ice creams? Deal!”

She raised her hand to high-five Estelle, and they did so flawlessly.

That night, they arrived at Midnight Bar. They headed to the private room, and Estelle found out that not only students from their class were invited but also people from other classes.

In the crowd, Brooke and Saul were sitting together. Seeing Estelle come in, Saul stared at her face for three seconds, then looked away with a gloomy expression.

Brooke had been resting at home for over a month and returned to class last week. Perhaps her love for Saul had diluted her hatred for Estelle. She hasn’t caused Estelle any trouble since she came back.

instead pushed Isis, “Ask Estelle to join our game.”

Isis rolled up her sleeves, “Estelle doesn’t like getting involved in your lowbrow fun, but I’ll play with you guys.”

One of the girls sarcastically commented, “Yeah, we’re all lowbrow, unlike Estelle who’s so elegant, sitting in at Mercedes.”

Estelle turned to see a girl leaning over, holding playing cards in her hand, with deep red lips and a contemptuous expression.

Isis stood up immediately, grabbed a stack of cards from the table, and slapped them on the girl’s face, shouting, “What did you just say? Tell us what you meant, and stop talking like a B!”

Everyone was stunned. The girl who got slapped with the cards lost her previous arrogance and stutters, “I…I was just joking!”

Isis cursed, “A joke my ass! Are we that close with you?”
