Coolest Girl in Town

It seemed that only this weekend of hers was entirely his, and he was not sure how long it would be until the next time. When he was in a trance, Elise suddenly stopped and mumbled to herself, “I brought a suitcase with me when we left, right?” Alexander smiled helplessly. When they got out of the car, the two of them only remembered to hold hands, and they really forgot to take the suitcase. He let go of her hand reluctantly and naturally pinched the tip of her nose. “Wait at the door of the dormitory. I’ll go get it.” After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked back. Elise stood there.

After watching Alexander’s figure disappear around the corner, she continued to walk forward. As soon as she stepped into the stone arch of the girls’ dormitory, there was a loud bang, then the sound of confettis sounded from all directions. Ribbons slowly fell from the sky, covering her all over. “Congratulations, Elise!” “Welcome back, Erudite Elise!” “Elise, you are amazing. You are my idol!” “Woohoo!” Elise was a little confused by their enthusiasm and smiled awkwardly. “Thank you!” As she spoke, she removed the confettis hanging from her body. “But, what are you guys congratulating me about?” “You still don’t know?”

Addison said excitedly. “Professor Merlin has applied for the highest-level mathematics award in the country for you, and you’ve passed the preliminary examination—you would be the first female winner of this award!” “Yeah, it’s amazing!” Elise still didn’t understand what was going on. “Y-You must have heard it wrong. Professor Merlin didn’t tell me at all about this. Could it be that someone else has the same name as me, or looks a lot like me, and you’re mistaken?” “Oh, trust me. It can’t be wrong!” Addison stepped forward to take her arm and said firmly. “It was announced on the bulletin board of our department, so who else could it be but you? Besides, how could I have mistaken your face?

you were turned to ashes!” “Gee, now that sounds a little scary…” someone exclaimed. Addison was always a straightforward person. Without putting too much thought into what that person said, she took it seriously. “Why is it scary? How is it scary? I just want everyone to know that I, Addison, don’t make friends based on their appearance. It’s not always about the face, but the actual strength. Some people have the look, but they’re merely like a vase—pretty on the outside but empty on the inside. Some people do look mediocre, but they have the strength within them.” Elise smiled bitterly and reminded her, “I think you meant ‘never judge a book by its

exactly! One should never judge a book by its cover!” This candid speech instantly made everyone laugh out loud. In the distance, Janice approached with a book in her arms, and she happened to see the scene of people laughing and cheering around Elise. She blushed instantly, and the phrase, never judge a book by its cover, was especially harsh in her ears. Elise looked at Addison’s straightforward and naive

instantly. Like a frightened bird, she hid behind the crowd. “Oh, please spare me from this torture.” The crowd burst in laughter again. Janice’s brain was filled with the echoing laughter, and she couldn’t bear it any longer. Immediately, she rushed over to the crowd and shouted hysterically, “Enough is enough!” She pushed aside the crowd and stood directly opposite Elise. Her expression was a little grim because she exerted too much

feeling nauseated in her heart. Addison couldn’t bear it any longer, so she stepped forward to argue with Janice. “Why are you acting all crazy here, woman?!” Janice was extremely emotional. Her eyes widened, and she stared back at Addison. “This is

guilty all of a sudden and tried to blame it all on Elise again. Immediately, she quibbled, “You really think I didn’t hear it? I heard and saw everything!” As if to prove it to everyone, she patted her chest and walked in a circle while

and spoke contemptuously. “Well, I’m sure that all of you can distinguish who is the more attractive one between me and her. Needless to say, you all know who is the one that is more likely to be taken advantage of, right?” For a while, the
