"Because from your voice, I could tell that you got fired up when talking about Barbie Cornwell. So that\'s why I assumed that you have a personal grudge against her. That\'s why you want to make this a bridge for you to do it, am I right, Emmy?" Elise asked.

And her suspicion was correct, 100% correct. 

Because I was actually baiting her to be on my side to take care of Barbie later on. Because based on her skill, she could be a great addition.

But I didn\'t expect her to see through my scheme so easily. As expected, she was not a regular girl. 

"You\'re right, Elise. I do have a personal grudge against Barbie for something she did before. I\'ve been thinking about taking her down, but I haven\'t found any good method yet."

"When I saw how competent you are despite making things up in your imagination, I saw that you\'re a potential partner here," I said truthfully, not wanting to hide anything from my future partner. 

Elise hummed for a moment and replied, "Honestly, I don\'t see anything wrong with this. But you should\'ve told me sooner because I don\'t like being kept in the dark. So how about we make a deal?"

"A deal?" 

"Yes, we should make a deal about this. You will help me get my revenge on those three bastards, Thomas, Jorge, and Jackson. And if it is proven that Natasha and Barbie were working together to bully the crap out of me, then I will help you take down of Barbie as well."

"It\'s a fair deal, right?" Elise offered. "So, what do you think?"

Honestly, that was the fairest deal we could get out of this. She earned her revenge, and so do i. We would be satisfied with each others\' work in the end. 

"It is a good plan, so… deal. Let\'s do this, Elise," I said. 

"Great, don\'t worry, Emmy. I am here to get my revenge, so do yours. Let\'s make it a good trade, and we might work as a team in the future as well," Elise said. 

I was impressed by her decisiveness. She was depressed for a while, but when I gave her a way out of her misery, she accepted it and readied herself for her vengeful quest. She reminded me of myself, but I wasn\'t that brave in my previous life.

I should learn more from her.

"So, what\'s our first mission?" Elise asked. Since everything had been floored now, we should start the execution as quickly as possible, especially for Elise, who was eager.

"We should talk about this in person, if that\'s acceptable for you," I asked, trying not to touch- any sensitive topic with her. 

"I can do that. Do you want to meet outside of the school or inside?" She asked.

"Wait, what—I thought you were afraid of going to school."

"Honestly, I miss school as well, but if it\'s for this mission, then I will not back down to anything," Elise said. 

…

I mean, it would be convenient for me to meet her in my club since it was basically my safe space. But I kept thinking whether it was a safe space for her since she still needed to avoid those three stooges.

They might not do anything in front of everyone, but Elise might lose control in front of them, and our plan would definitely be ruined.

"I don\'t think we should meet in school. It\'s way too risky. How about we meet at the nearest convenience store around the school in the evening. Because I doubt those bastards would come to any cafe. I don\'t want you to lose control in front of them, just a preventive measure."

Elise sighed and agreed, "Okay, that\'s more logical, I guess. Though, I still think that you\'re being paranoid, Emmy. I can definitely control myself."

\'And I definitely don\'t trust your temper,\' I said in my heart. I mean, Elise could say that because she was in her house right now. But if it was real life, and those bastards started mocking Elise about it, of course, she would lose control. 

So I didn\'t want to take a risk. 

"Then you should be the one who picks our meeting point. I will be available after school on Monday."

"Then let\'s meet up. I\'ll text you again after school on Monday," Elise said, then we hung up the call. 

__Phone call ends__

I took a deep breath after a long conversation with Elise. It was actually exhausting because Elise was a lot smarter than I expected.

She was just unfortunate to get caught in this devil circle with Natasha, Barbie, and those three stooges. 

I lay on the bed and closed my eyes immediately. One hour had passed with only me talking with her, so I fell asleep and hoped that Monday would come quick.

[Monday]

I went to school and continued the classes like usual. Although I had something else in mind right now because I just got a text from Noah that he couldn\'t go to school today because he got a text from his friend that Jorge, Thomas, and Jackson were searching his whereabouts. 

It seemed they really liked bullying Noah to his grave and would probably make fun of it once Noah killed himself. 

They were basically vile bullies that only did everything because they had nothing better to do. 

So I waited until Elise texted me instead, and right at the end of the last class, I got a text from Elise.

—

Elise: I\'ll be waiting in the small cafe near the school. I\'ll share the location.

Elise: Location sent. 

Elise: I\'ll be waiting.

—

I got excited by her text and quickly went to the parking lot and rode my bike to the cafe. I knew this cafe just by the location because it was near the convenience store I often visited. 

When I arrived, there wasn\'t anyone outside of the cafe, it was pretty empty because most students couldn\'t afford it, and the rich ones didn\'t want to spend their money on a cafe near the school. 

I parked my bike and texted Elise.

—

Emmy: I\'m outside.

Elise: Yes, I can see you. 

—

I looked to the glass pane and saw a girl wearing a hoodie waving at me. So I entered the cafe and walked in her direction. I was a tad surprised by her face because she had dark eye bags. It seemed that she cried too much and was in such a terrible depression. 

At least, she didn\'t lie about her depression at all. 

"Elise?"

"Yup," Elise nodded with a thin smile on her face. "Emmelyn Jones, right?"

"Indeed, I am," I said. I sat face to face with her, and we shook hands. "Thanks for your willingness to help me," I said first.

"No, no, it\'s not a willingness to help you. I\'m here for my own interest," Elise replied. "Besides, you also know that I\'m doing this out of spite, right? I cannot release this torment in my heart before those three are dead on the ground—or at least expelled and jailed."

So vicious, nice. 

"Indeed, I\'m here to help you and Noah because he\'s also bullied right now. In fact, he didn\'t come to school today because he got news from his classmate that Thomas, Jorge, and Jackson were searching for him. 

"Noah? Really? That guy?" Elise asked with a bewildered face.

"Huh? What\'s wrong? Your reaction is so similar to Mona."

"Wait, what did Mona say to you?"

"She said that Noah is just a spectator. He is mostly invisible and never makes any problem with anyone," I replied, trying to remember my conversation with Mona before. 

"Well, it\'s not wrong," Elise sighed. "But that\'s not the real cause. It seems that Mona hides something because Noah is her ex-boyfriend."

"Wait, so, what did I miss?" I asked. 

"The fact that Noah is not just a spectator in everything. He is also the one who allowed Thomas to bully someone. It was actually a gossip around," Elise lowered her voice just in case. "There is a rumor around Noah and Thomas, saying that Noah allows Thomas to beat up anyone even though one incident happened right in front of him."

"Nobody knows whether it was because of Noah being way too scared to stop the three stooges. Or because Noah was secretly helping them. That\'s why I got surprised when you mentioned Noah\'s name."

"So, the rumor said that Noah might have been a bully as well?" I couldn\'t believe what I had just heard. When I saw Noah for the first time, Thomas, Jorge, and Jackson seriously didn\'t spare him at all. He was beaten to a pulp until he couldn\'t even get up for a good while. 

"Are you sure about that rumor?" I asked. 

"Pretty sure, because it has been circulating around for so long.. There is also a rumor saying that Noah might be gay because he treats Thomas a little bit too special for a friend."
