Coolest Girl in Town

Quickly, follow me to the back stage!” Elise had a bad feeling about it, but she still went back anyway. She opened the curtain and entered the dressing room, only to find out that Jose was losing his temper. “I don’t care, Janice. I came to be a support because of you, but now you want me to go on stage and be a joke? Don’t even think about it!” He had a gloomy face, looking as if he could devour someone, so no one dared to go forward to persuade him. Without the most important supporting roles, the whole drama seemed to have a beginning and no proper end, and even if they bit the bullet and acted it out, the audience might end up not understanding what the whole drama was about.

The most likely outcome would be it being edited into funny videos by the whole school, which meant they would be left with a bad name forever. Jose did not only represent himself; other actors were actually secretly thinking of backing out as well, but because of Janice’s aggressiveness, they dared not say it explicitly. “Jose, don’t worry. There is always a solution to everything. Let me think about it…” Janice comforted the man in front of her, but she would glance at the entrance from time to time, and finally, she saw Elise, who had somehow managed to become uglier. “Elise!” Janice raised her voice and walked over to Elise while shouting. “So great that you are here!”

Elise didn’t manage to escape and was abruptly hugged by Janice. Her face was plastered with awkwardness and reluctance. One by one, she pried Janice’s fingers away with disgust. “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t do this—we are not that close.” Janice, on the other hand, pretended to be generous and tried to flatter Elise. “You’re still angry with me about what happened before? Fine, then I’ll apologize again. I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?” Jose stood up with his knight’s helmet and asked casually, “What happened before?” Janice hurriedly explained, “It was nothing. It was just a little misunderstanding, Jose. Don’t worry about it—we can solve it among ourselves.”

that Jose was convinced, Janice pursued her victory and began attacking Elise. “So, Elise, this is what happened: I don’t know why, but we can’t get in touch with the classmate who is playing the role of a witch. The drama is about to start, and only you are an outsider who’s familiar with the script… Do

So, uh… E-Elise, right? I am ordering you to take the role as a senior. You got it?” No one expected Jose to be so disrespectful to girls, and there were even some whispers passing around the crowd. Even so, no one dared to stand up to defend Elise at this critical moment, so they could only look at her with sympathy, hoping for a miracle to happen, while also expecting Elise to be this miracle that

she agreed to it or not, the success or failure of the drama rested on her shoulders. She suddenly raised the corner of her mouth playfully and smiled happily. “Okay, I’ll take the role, but I have to tell you first: I prefer to get creative. If I were to improvise some scenes, can

and said, “Elise, this is the witch’s costume. You can put it on now—it will be our turn in a few minutes.” “Thank you.” Elise nodded, then went to change her outfit. 10 minutes later, at the front stage. The lights on the stage went out and turned on

while Elise, whose role was a witch, held a magic wand in her hand and chanted spells around the princess… The scene progressed step by step.
