Chapter 55 A Rude Awakening

She pitched her voice to an incredibly soft, nurturing register. “Isabella, I know you have a lot of prejudice against me.

“But now that we’re both students at Westbrook, you really need to patch up your academic holes for your own sake.

“Even if you don’t care about making Dad and Adrian proud, you should at least do it for your own future.

Hannah wore an expression of absolute devotion, looking for all the world like a selfless sister completely invested in Isabella’s success.

She had spent the last hour cleaning up her messy face after that crying stunt.

Her emotional composure was perfectly back in place.

No matter what, Isabella had already secured a direct line to Noah Wayne.

Since fighting it was useless, she figured she might as well exploit Isabella’s presence to insert herself into Noah’s social orbit.

After all, she was a recognized Powell daughter too.

If Noah was willing to tolerate a country bumpkin like Isabella, there was no way he’d treat her with absolute savagery, right?

Armed with that comforting delusion, Hannah pivoted her strategy entirely.

She poured on the sisterly charm, but every ounce of her focus was actually locked onto Noah’s slouched figure.

The guy currently held the absolute lowest GPA in Class 1, and if it weren’t for his family’s astronomical wealth and terrifying influence, the administration would have expelled him a thousand times over.

Westbrook Academy had its fair share of wealthy slackers, but Noah was the undisputed king of blatant academic rebellion.

Well, until Isabella showed up to claim the second–place slot.

Isabella’s face remained flat as she stared at Hannah.

Her brain felt a bit groggy from the extended nap.

High school is a total cognitive dead–zone.

Isabella was seriously weighing the logistics of forcing an immediate grade acceleration to test out of this place.

But realizing that college would just involve sitting in a slightly larger lecture hall to take naps, she lost

motivation.

Whatever, she’d just stay put.

Chapter 55 A Rude Awakening

Passing out on a high school desk was no different from sleeping anywhere else.

Frished

Noting how Hannah’s syrupy, desperate grin was completely accompanied by eyes that kept darting over to Noah, Isabella extended a foot and kicked Noah’s chair hard.

“She’s looking for you.”

Sitting next to this guy guaranteed a peaceful bubble, but he was also a total magnet for annoying drama,

Then again, even if she moved desks, Hannah would still find a way to buzz around her ear.

Isabella decided sticking by Noah was the lesser of two evils.

At least his terrifying aura kept the rest of the campus parasites at bay.

Her sharp kick sent Noah jolting awake from a deep sleep, his face instantly twisting into an absolute, murderous scowl. “What the hell do you think you’re—”

He violently swallowed the rest of the curse word before turning a deeply hostile glare onto Hannah, barking coldly, “What the h*ll is your problem?

“What GPA? What study guide?

“Are you trying to insult my intelligence?”

He glared at the notebook Hannah was holding out; the handwriting was flawless, the organization immaculate clearly something she had poured hours into creating.

But Noah didn’t give a single crap.

If he wanted top–tier study guides, a hundred brown–nosers would drop pristine copies onto his desk by tomorrow morning.

Every single one of them would be infinitely more comprehensive, detailed, and customized to his specific needs than her garbage.

And if all else failed, his family kept a revolving door of elite private professors on retainer at the estate.

Did Hannah honestly lack the basic brain cells to realize that his failing grades were a deliberate choice, not a lack of resources?

Seriously… is it really that hard to figure out?!

Noah’s teeth ground together in pure irritation.

He was initially ready to direct his rage at Isabella, but the second he caught sight of Hannah, his face completely hardened into absolute disgust.

In a flash of clarity, he realized Isabella had weaponized him as a human shield to deflect Hannah’s annoying presence…

And that she was currently using him to solve her personal problems.

Chapter 55 A Rude Awakening

Isabella, you’ve got some serious nerve.

He ground his teeth silently.

Frankly, Isabella was the most bizarre girl he had ever encountered in his entire life.

Finished

She didn’t harbor a single shred of romantic delusion toward him, yet she constantly danced right on the edge of his boundaries and pushed his buttons.

Had it been anyone else executing that kick, Noah would have already made their life a living hell.

But looking at Isabella, he strangely couldn’t bring himself to retaliate.

He had a sneaking suspicion that if he actually went to war with her, he’d be the one ending up thoroughly

wrecked!
