Chapter 188 – Bait (3)
"Wow, Em. I didn't know that you're such a player," Elise said, and I got surprised by her statement.
"What makes you think like that?" I asked. I wasn't mad, but I was just surprised because nobody in their right mind would call Emmelyn Jones a player. Heck, I never dated anyone seriously in both lives, and I don't think that would change anytime soon.
"Because you literally played with the heart of two boys, one of them is Mason Hall, literally the most handsome, most popular, and basically a Wattpad male lead character that everyone has been dreaming to date forever. The second one, I don't know his name, but he is definitely another totally handsome male lead character from Wattpad, right?" Elise said.
I zipped my lips instantly. No, I wasn't confirming her saying that I played with Mason and Logan, but she was spot on about those two boys. They were too good to be true, especially Mason.
Mason Hall was way too perfect to be human.
"Em, boys aren't that complicated with their feelings. Of course, they can feel a range of emotions when in love, but generally, it's not hard to capture their heart once you've caught their attention. I believe these two boys are already interested in you, and you happen to cook for them as a sign of close bond and gratitude. They are bound to think about you romantically."
"Really?" I asked. I was seriously oblivious about this one because I had never actually experienced dating, nor getting close to a boy without being made as a dare like what Kyle did to me.
"Of course, duh!" Elise yelled frustratedly. "Em, I think you should be careful with what you do. You might accidentally provoke one of them, and they would go crazy on you. Who knows one of them become a stalker, or maybe you got another one for your stalker list?" Elise asked.
…
Okay, now she started being way too spot on with my relationships. She predicted Mason, Logan, and now the red rose man.
I zipped my mouth and stayed silent, but she took that as a silent yes. Elise sighed deeply and shook her head as if she had found out about something absolutely ridiculous.
"Em, do you know how beautiful you're?" Elise asked.
"Uh… no? Beauty is subjective. What you think is beautiful might not fit with my beauty standard, right?"
"… That's just some flowery words, what I ask is… do you know that you fit the majority's beauty standard?"
"Uh… no?"
"Em!" Elise facepalmed frustratedly. "Em, you have jet black hair, eyes darker than the night, and nice rosy, thin lips. You have big boobs and slender waist, although you often cover it with a loose shirt."
"You don't get popular in this place not because you're not pretty, but because you are trying to hide from the spotlight. We've been quite close to each other. Of course, I know that you're seriously trying to hide."
"If someone has boobs as big as yours, most of them will dress a bit more open to being proud of themselves. But not you…."
"I don't know the reason, to be exact, but I think what you did is correct. Because you said you don't want to be noticed by people," Elise said. "But still… if a boy took one good look on you, they would drool for real!"
…
Okay, Elise was being way too honest for me to feel comfortable. I knew what she said was all true, at least that part when showing my big tits by wearing a tight shirt would draw so many wanted and unwanted attention.
That was what I did out of my own stupidity in my previous life. It cost me my high school life, even though all I wanted was to find someone that would recognize my presence and make me their friend if that was possible.
"Elise, I think you're being too serious here," I said. "It's fine. I'm not planning to date anyone soon. I still have a lot of things to do, and dating will only ruin my plans," I said. Trying to calm her down after her endless nagging.
"Well, I don't forbid you to date, Em. I'm just scared that you might find a bad man that would hurt you in the future," Elise said. "But worry not, I am here to help you if something happens. You already helped me a lot, and I won't forget all the things that you did for me."
"O—Okay, okay, relax, Elise."
"Anyway, back to the plan," I said, trying to return to the mission before this conversation about boys went on and cornered me more and more. "I have a plan to bait them, but since I will be the one who plays the game, then I will have to rethink about this. Actually, my original plan was to ask you to start smoking, just smoking a cigar until they found out about it and then posted it on Instagram."
"Ah, a high school girl who smokes will definitely be a highlight in that Instagram account," Elise agreed on my plan. "But now that I can't act as the bait will you also do the same stunt?"
"I can't do that," I shook my head. "You see, when it's about smoking, I thought it would be more effective when you guys know each other."
"To them, I am just a random girl with no name that smokes behind the club building, but what else they are going to do with that? It's not a good tea when you don't know her."
"That's why I'm planning to use another scandal that would definitely blow up after Natasha or Barbara found out about it."
"What scandal?" Elise seemed to be curious as she slid the chair closer to my chair, listening carefully to what I wanted to say.
I grinned mysteriously and leaned in to whisper in her ear.
…
Elise's expression turned from curious to shock to nervousness.
"Do you think that's a good idea? That's a bit too risky, you know…." Elise said. "It would put you in an instant danger."
"You can't fight them without risking yourself. You know that Natasha is dangerous, right? Now, if you know about Barbara 'Barbie' Cornwell, she is a lot more dangerous than Natasha," I said.
"Really? But what I see is… Barbara is mostly just an attention whore who wants to get all the attention from the boys. That's why they called her Barbara Fordaboys. Because she did everything to make the boys fall in love with her."
"Yeah, and that's what's dangerous about her. She used her charm to bait so many boys who don't know better. Don't you think it's easy for Natasha Zest to request Thomas and his gang? She needs Barbara's help to convince them," I tried to explain this to Elise. Back in my previous life, Barbara was the queen of Darthmorth for a good while until she graduated. But unlike Jessica, Barbara's gang consisted of mostly boys, and for some reason, I never saw Natasha there. Though, even in this life, Elise told me that Barbara didn't seem to be close with Natasha.
So I guess they were close in private.
During her senior year, she became the de facto queen nobody dared to mess up with. Because she got so many simps protecting her like an idiot. They didn't know that Barbara literally only used them for her power.
Though, I had to admit that Barbara was smart for using her beauty to her advantage. Though, I never wanted to do that.
Because I refused to show my body to literally every guy I found potential just to solidify some power.
Ironically, she was the one who called me a slut, while she was also the one who opened her legs for some boys with a good background to enjoy. It made me wonder if she was just projecting her own insecurity as a slut to me.
"You're right, Em. As I keep thinking about it, I don't think Natasha can afford 2000 dollars to pay Thomas and his gang. Her dad might be rich, but from what I heard, she doesn't get that amount of money unless it's for important things," Elise said. "Unlike uh… who is that girl who got caught distributing drugs again? Leah Carpenter? Yeah, I heard that Leah Carpenter can buy a lot of drugs for her club and basically ruined the lives of dozens of young boys in the process. Since they would be in a long rehab session, they will never be the same after that. You know what, I'm glad that she got caught because what she did was seriously vile."
I nodded in agreement. She was vile indeed. So does Cerise and her self-centered victimization, Kristen with her messed up god complex that killed Helena, and Thomas Scottfield, who literally bullied Noah to his death because he was insecure of his own sexuality.
Now it was Natasha and Barbara's time, "What Natasha and Barbara did are also vile, Elise.. We will take them down."
