Chapter 150 – Twisting Words (2)
As I was prepared to sleep, I got a text from Elise again.
—
Elise: I forgot to ask about our plan to bait those bastards. Do you have the money now? I mean, if you haven't, I can probably do something with my Dad's money.
—
Oh damn, now I wonder if everyone around me was rich except me. Logan was filthy rich, Noah was wealthy, Mona's parents had a cafe, Mason was on his way to being rich.
Was I the only one who couldn't afford to buy a pack of instant noodles without thinking twice?
Damn.
—
Emmy: No, don't do that. I have the money. I have prepared two grands for this mission.
Elise: Two grands?! Wow, how could you do that? I thought you were broke!
Emmy: I am. But I have my own way to get this. Don't worry about it. I'm not stealing as well.
Elise; Alright, if you say so. I'm just giving an option, so you won't feel burdened. This is our mission, after all. It's supposed to be fair to both of us.
Elise: Especially me, the burden is in me because I am the one who truly wants this revenge.
—
Yeah, not exactly. I also had my own animosity against them. So I calmed Elise down and assured her everything was aligned.
—
Emmy: Don't worry about it.
Emmy: But you have to find a good way to ensure that Miss Alba will be coming. She is the key to this mission.
Elise: Yes, I've been thinking about it. Don't worry.
—
I could finally rest after that one and then rested my body as I fell asleep quickly.
**
I went to school the next day feeling more refreshed, especially since I hold 50 bucks in my wallet right now. You heard me since I had 3 grands of spare money, I took some for just in case.
About the 2 grands to lure those three stooges, then I had to consult with Noah and Elise first.
I went to classes as usual, but something felt a bit iffy today. Because I could sense someone was staring at me from a seat behind me.
I looked over my shoulder and saw Chrissy glaring at me with her try-hard glare. It didn't scare me at all, but when I saw someone else glared at me, I was scared shitless.
Jessica was staring at me. She didn't show any kind of hostility, at least not as much as I expected. But she did stare at me with questionable intention.
I gulped and tried to focus on the teacher, but I had a bad feeling about this.
After the teacher left for lunch recess, everyone got up and left, including me, but someone suddenly held my hand.
I turned around and saw Chrissy grinning maliciously at me, "Jessica will end you, Em."
Jessica got up from her chair and arrogantly strutted to me. She crossed her arms and raised her brow, "Aren't you the girl who trash-talked me before?"
Ah fuck, she still remembered that.
I never trash-talked her, it was some random person or maybe someone who had a hatred of me, but I still didn't know who.
Honestly, my legs trembled when I faced Jessica. Maybe it was the fear of the past life when she bullied me to the point that I wouldn't have the strength to even look at her straight in the eyes.
But that was my past life.
In this one, I had to make sure that I didn't get bullied too early into the game, or else she would mark me and bully the hell of my life again.
So I mustered my courage and raised my head. I looked straight at Jessica's eyes, "That accusation is not proven yet, I'm just a new student in this high school, and I'm also a new resident around this town. So there is no way for me to know you before, Miss Jessica Lambert."
"Oh~ So you know my name now, huh?"
"It's not hard to know the most popular girl in our batch," I said, still unrelenting in front of her despite my legs almost giving up on me.
"Oh~ So you did your research," Jessica said. "You must've known that the most popular girl also deserves the most popular boy, right?"
Uh-huh, of course, if you could snare Mason after you sent him your nude pic.
Well, that was what I wanted to say, but in the end, I only replied with a nod, "That's quite obvious."
"Then stop trying to be close with Mason! Mason Hall is the most popular boy in our batch!" Chrissy suddenly yelled out of nowhere.
Ah, now I understood the root of this 'fight' we were having right now. She must've realized that she couldn't fight me by herself, so she said something to Jessica to ignite her anger and confronted me.
But what Chrissy didn't know was… I could use this as my weapon.
"Jessica, I saw her talking with Mason alone in the schoolyard, and she is trying to get close to Mason. She even tries to hug him!" Chrissy spouted some random bullshit to anger Jessica even more.
Honestly, I wanted to just plaster her mouth so she wouldn't talk about random shit that could only worsen the situation.
Jessica suddenly put her hand on my shoulder and gripped it tightly. I winced in pain due to the pain but tried my best not to look scared.
Because if I got scared, Jessica would see that I was weak and bully-able for her.
Besides, I might as well bury my head if I looked scared in front of Chrissy, the bitchy side character.
"Oh? You're trying to talk with Mason in the schoolyard? Do you know that it's not good to snatch other woman's food, right? He is my target, so you shouldn't even think about it before I make your school life a living hell," Jessica said. She didn't look angry, but her words were serious and scary. She was really good at intimidating.
"And you believe this bitchy bootlicker Chrissy for saying that? Do you really think that Mason Hall likes to get hugged by some random woman?" I raised my brow to challenge her.
It was time to twist some of Chrissy's words back at her.
Jessica frowned, she seemed to have realized something, but she didn't say it aloud. So I did it for her instead.
"I think we both know that Mason Hall always keeps his distance from anyone. If your oh-so-trusty information here—" I glanced at Chrissy Miles and chuckled. "—Is so reliable, then she should provide some evidence of me hugging Mason Hall."
…
….
Jessica and I looked at Chrissy at the same time. And the latter became nervous as she got two pairs of scrutinizing gazes on her.
"J—Jessica, don't be distracted by her! She is just trying to fool you! I really saw it with my own eyes that she suddenly hugged Mason Hall, even asking him to give her a kiss. It's seriously gross!" Chrissy continued her primitive way, which didn't work for me at all.
"I mean, you can accuse me all you want, but if you have zero evidence, then what's the point? It's all just a false allegation, then. I think Miss Jessica Lambert here knows what I'm talking about," I said with a careless shrug.
Both Jessica and Chrissy were speechless by my words. Of course, because I was correct. I knew that Jessica and Chrissy couldn't counter my words, especially Chrissy, who just blatantly lied to throw me to hell.
"Maybe you should get a better trusty friend, Miss Jessica Lambert. Someone like her is a bit untrustworthy, especially after her scandal. Remember? Drug scandal~."
"YOU!" Chrissy gritted her teeth. You are the one who framed me, right?! You're the only one who could pull that kind of wicked trick!
I just shrugged lightly, "See? Another baseless accusation, I would be pretty dumb if I chose to believe her at this point. She has zero evidence. All she did is just point fingers at me for no reason."
Chrissy's face paled as she saw Jessica's expression turn darker. Jessica looked pissed, but not to me. She finally released her grip on my shoulder, and I yanked my hand from Chrissy, who had lost all her strength under Jessica's intimidating gaze.
I didn't think this was enough to kick Chrissy away from Jessica. Since I knew how shameless Chrissy was, she would probably find another way to bootlick her way back.
I knew it'd be a long day between Jessica and Chrissy, and I didn't want to disturb them, let them fight to each other first while I dismantle all of Jessica's future power. So she wouldn't be as lethal as before when I wanted to take her down.
For Chrissy? I mean, it's Chrissy Miles. She is like… the bitchy side character. I'd rather use her in the future as a sacrifice for one mission.
And with that, I left the classroom and headed for lunch.
