Shadows Between Us (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292 His Wig Is His Ego

There was a huge door lying on the ground, and it was all busted up.

Zack shot Tripp a look, raising an eyebrow. “Looks like conditions at your school are quite harsh, huh?”

‘Screw you!’ Tripp grumbled to himself.

As they stepped over the door, what they saw next was even crazier than that busted door lying on the ground.

Their eyes widened in shock.

On the rooftop, the Technical High School bullies with colorful hair sat up straight at their desks, looking totally dazed as they listened to the only girl in the room go over the questions.

That girl was none other than the notorious Edenbury Academy troublemaker Tripp swore had snuck in just to cause chaos!

Stella leaned on the desk, her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, her voice cool and detached. As she explained, her black pen moved across the worksheet. “So, if we assume… Did you get that?”

Everyone stood there, dumbstruck.

For the first time ever, they could feel knowledge pouring into their heads, and it was all so simple.

They thought, ‘We actually understand all of it? Unbelievable!’

Chadwick stammered, “S-Stella, you’re the best!”

He couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up.

Tripp and the others were stunned.

They forgot who they were and where they were for a moment.

‘What the hell is going on here?’ they thought, totally baffled.

So that girl didn’t bring people to stir up trouble? She actually came to help these punks with their homework? This had got to be the wildest plot twist in decades!

They were all in shock.

Stella’s lashes drooped as she spoke, sounding lazy and indifferent. “Just get these problems done.”

Leonardo’s sidekick scratched his head and joked, “What if we just don’t do it?”

Stella gave him a glance, then casually grabbed a steel pipe lying nearby. Suddenly, a sharp crack echoed.

The pipe snapped in two!

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Stella, sounding a bit annoyed, asked, “What did you just say?”

Leonardo and his sidekick shook their heads so profusely and then dove into their worksheets like their lives. depended on it, scribbling furiously.

It was only then that Stella, who’d already noticed someone lurking ages ago, finally lifted her gaze toward the doorway. “What’s up?”

As she spoke, she chucked the steel pipe she’d just snapped in half aside with a clang!

Tripp, Elias, and Zack couldn’t even process what they’d just witnessed for a moment.

Especially Tripp, whose head was now dotted with huge beads of sweat, trickling down and making him look. even more ridiculous than usual!

Hearing this, Leonardo looked up at Tripp, impatience written all over his face. “Who the hell are you? Can’t you see we’re busy studying here?”

He looked so intimidating. Tripp seemed to accuse them of fighting.

Stella tilted her head, glanced at Leonards the feat you know him?”

Chapter 292 His Wig Is His Ego Leonardo shook his head. “Nope.”

Tripp’s face went red in an instant.

Zack couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing. Tripp turned his head, shooting him a look.

His face was expressionless.

‘What the hell are you laughing at?!’ Tripp fumed inwardly.

Stella patted Leonardo on the shoulder. “Come with me.” As she spoke, she strode off toward the group of school admins.

“Yes, Boss!” Leonardo answered, quick as ever.

Chadwick felt a little jealous. “She’s my boss.”

Leonardo shot him a look. “What’s yours or mine? Once she climbed over that wall, she became our boss!”

Chadwick was speechless.

Leonardo trotted after Stella and stood in front of the school officials. “Just say the word, Boss,” he said.

‘Say what, my ass! A big boss around here is getting orders from that girl from Edenbury Academy? Does he have any shame?’ Tripp cursed inwardly.

Even though Tripp was screaming inside, he forced a friendly smile. “Hey, got a problem?”

Stella glanced up at him. “Nothing. Just making sure he knows who’s who around here.”

Tripp was left speechless.

Everyone else was stunned.

Stella, with a straight face, pointed at Tripp. “This is Mr. Tripp Reeves, your principal.”

Leonardo blinked, looking totally confused.

“No way, Stella! Our principal’s got way more hair than that!” Leonardo said, scratching his head. He had no idea how much his words hurt a middle-aged man’s ego.

Zack couldn’t help but snicker again.

Tripp’s face turned purple. If it weren’t for all these people watching, he’d have dashed back to his office, grabbed his wig, and tossed it at Leonardo to shut him up.

For a bald man, his wig is his ego.

Stella gave Leonardo a deadpan look, raising an eyebrow. “Show some respect.”

Without hesitation, Leonardo bowed to Tripp. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Reeves!”

Tripp was touched. He was so moved that he forgave Leonardo immediately.

He held Leonardo’s hand and said, “Good boy!”

Stella glanced up at Zack. “Hello, Mr. Wilde.”

Her voice was flat, neither warm nor cold.

When he saw those notorious slackers actually buckle down and do their homework, it was like watching a miracle unfold. Everyone was staring at Stella as if she’d just pulled off the impossible.

Zack grinned. “Good.” Then he shot a look at Tripp, who was still clutching Leonardo’s hand. “So, you climbed over the wall just to tutor these guys?”

Stella hesitated.

‘Sort of, she thought.

The whole thing was a bit of a rollercoaster, but it turned out pretty well in the end.

Tripp was still getting all choked up, nearly bawling. “What is this, huh? This is the ultimate act of selfless bravery! Edenbury Academy, you guys better give her a big reward for this!”
