Chapter 197,Coolest Girl in Town
The homeroom teacher entered with a beautiful girl during the third period. “Quiet, everybody. This is Jacinda Kate, the newest addition to our class. I hope everyone will take good care of her.” Everyone started clapping immediately to welcome Jacinda while she grinned in response. “Hey, guys. My name is Jacinda and I’ll be your new classmate from today onward. I hope that we can all get along with each other.” With such an angelic voice and innocent look, she had instantly captured most of the guys’ attention.
“Hey, Jacinda, why don’t you sit next to me?” Although a male classmate had extended an invitation for her to sit with him, she had turned him down. Then, she turned toward Elise and approached her. “Hey, can I sit next to you?” Elise frowned as the seat next to her belonged to Mikayla. Nevertheless, it was only a matter of time before it would be occupied since Mikaya had already dropped out. Although she was reluctant to allow Jacinda to sit next to her, she didn’t have any valid reason to reject Jacinda either. “Sure.” A smiling Jacinda replied, “Thank you.”
Then, she sat down and placed her bag in the table drawer while her gaze was fixated on Elise’s face. Is this the ugly Elise that my cousin sister has mentioned? How unappealing. I wonder what kind of charisma she has to be able to defeat my elegant cousin to become Alexander’s fiancée. What a joke. Jacinda coldly chuckled before she composed herself and whispered to Elise, “Hello, may I know your name? Also, can you tell me what class we have next?” “Elise Sinclair. The timetable is on the whiteboard and you can copy a set for yourself if you need it.”
When she noticed Elise was being cold toward her, Jacinda’s dislike against Elise only grew stronger. How dare that ugly monster try to act cool around me? Just you watch. … “Hey, Jacinda. Here’s some chocolate that I bought…” “I purchased these lollipops for you…” “Do you like any of these snacks?” Many of the guys in class tried to woo Jacinda, who really enjoyed the attention that they were showering on her. And with a gentle voice, she thanked them. “Thank you, everyone!” “You’re welcome. Let us know if you need anything in the future.” Although Jacinda had chatted with them merrily and didn’t reject their gifts, her expression changed once they left.
It was moments later when she started complaining, “Are these people dumb? Who tries to woo girls with snacks and lollipops? Do they think that I’m a kid?” Then, she threw the snacks into the trash bin without any hesitation. Upon seeing that, Elise frowned a little but kept quiet. Unfortunately, Jacinda thought Elise was judging her and glared instead. “What are you staring at? Have you not received any gifts from guys before? Well, I guess no guy would buy gifts for ugly girls like you. I bet they don’t even want to spare any glance on you.” A speechless Elise retorted without any hesitation, “It seemed like you’ve mastered the art of being two-faced.”
“Who are you to talk to me like this? Do you know that I can destroy your reputation if I want to?” Jacinda threatened. It was obvious that she looked down on Elise. Elise could sense Jacinda’s hostility at this moment. However, she couldn’t recall that they had ever crossed paths before. Although it was their first time meeting each other, Jacinda’s hostility was obvious from the hatred in her eyes. Looks like she’s not here with good intentions. “You can give it a shot. We shall see who ends up with a destroyed reputation instead.” Upon saying those words, she stopped talking to Jacinda and went back to complete her schoolwork.
After class, Danny went over to give Elise the fruit juice that he bought. “Boss, have some juice!” Without looking up, she replied, “Thank you!” As he was used to her behavior, he didn’t say anything and returned to his seat. On the other hand, Jacinda knew who Danny was. In fact, she knew all about the Griffiths’ young masters. Nonetheless, she had only seen them in pictures; she never met them in person and didn’t have any interactions with them either.
Still, she knew the interests of the four masters. For example, Danny Griffith, who was in front of her, was an ignorant and arrogant person with an interest in car racing and gaming. But, why is he being so pleasant to the ugly monster? As she was unable to understand the connection even after pondering on it, she gave up and took the initiative to start a conversation with him to gain his favor. “Hey, Danny. I’m the new girl, Jacinda. I recently started a new mobile game, so would you like to play together with me when you’re free?”
At this moment, Danny was in the midst of doing his schoolwork when he heard a shrill voice, which caused him to frown. “There’s less than a hundred days until our finals and you’re still thinking of playing games? Leave me alone; stop bothering me when I’m studying.” Jacinda’s expression immediately changed the moment she was rejected and she didn’t know what to do next. Why is the rumored Danny Griffith way different from the one in person? “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you were studying.” Normally, people would definitely soften upon seeing her apologetic expression.
However, as Danny had been hanging out too much with Elise and was used to her behavior, Jacinda’s fake affectionate manner was off putting for him. “Alright. Just stop talking to me,” he demanded, to which Jacinda’s face darkened. Still, she didn’t have the guts to retort and could only return to her seat. Simon Reid, who couldn’t really get along with Danny, explained, “Jacinda, don’t mind Danny. He always acts like that.” The handsome and wealthy Simon was a dreamy person, but he obviously couldn’t be compared to someone like Danny. Jacinda finally managed to find a sense of comfort from Simon.
“Thank you. Still, it was my fault for behaving out of my place. I didn’t know that Danny was a hardworking student who loves studying.” To be honest, he was just as shocked. “Danny has only started taking his studies seriously last semester. We all thought that it was for show, but he actually managed to obtain third place in our class during the finals last semester. It’s possible that he might be able to enroll into a prestigious school!”
She never knew that Danny was actually an intelligent student. So, that’s why Danny reacted that way when I invited him to play games with me. Looks like I have to strategize again. “I see! Thank you. I’ll buy you a meal someday later to return your kindness.” Simon would never reject a beautiful girl’s invitation, so he suggested, “Why must it be someday later when we can have a meal together today?
I know a nice place nearby. Why don’t we head over there after school?” Right at this moment, Jacinda, who wanted to know more about her new class, figured that it was a great opportunity to do so and agreed to Simon’s suggestion.
