Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Forum Frenzy

The chatter on Twitter was spreading like wildfire, engulfing Riverdale High School in a wave of speculation. Many students had become convinced that Lilian was the enigmatic girl captured in the viral photo that had taken the internet by storm.

Adding to the frenzy was Lilian’s reputation—not only was she academically brilliant, but she was also breathtakingly beautiful. Naturally, she quickly earned the unofficial title of Riverdale High’s new campus beauty queen, which only fueled more heated debates on the school’s online forum.

“Have you seen Lilian’s exam scores? She missed a perfect score by just one point!” one student posted excitedly.

“She absolutely deserves to be the school’s new beauty queen,” another chimed in.

“Beauty queen? Is she really prettier than Yulia?” someone challenged.

“Come on, Yulia is the heiress of the Sawyer Group. She has beauty, status, and an elite education. Can Lilian even compare?” a third student argued.

“Ugh, some people are just jealous, plain and simple,” another replied defensively.

Lilian herself would have remained completely unaware of the storm swirling around her name if it weren’t for Natalie—the school’s most notorious gossip queen and, unfortunately for Lilian, her close friend.

“Lilian, you have no idea—you’re basically a campus celebrity now!” Natalie said with a sly grin, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Lilian sighed deeply, pressing her fingers against her temples. Where were all these ridiculous titles coming from? She felt overwhelmed by the sudden attention.

Watching Lilian’s exasperated expression, Jill Lewis gave Natalie a playful glare. “Alright, that’s enough teasing. Keep it up, and Lilian’s going to want to disappear into a hole.”

Since their last meeting, Jill had started joining Lilian and Natalie for lunch, and naturally, the three had grown closer.

Later, Lilian learned that Natalie and Jill’s families shared a long-standing friendship. Their older brothers—Carson and Jill’s brother—had been childhood friends, and their families had even entertained the idea of a match between Jill and Carson.

“I’m not exaggerating, though,” Natalie insisted, her voice earnest. “Lilian, you don’t understand—the entire forum is buzzing because you just got crowned Riverdale’s top beauty!”

Unimpressed by empty accolades, Lilian nonchalantly picked up a chicken drumstick from her plate and dropped it onto Natalie’s.
