When Amanda went on Reddit once more, favonovel.com was baffled to see the majority of the comments were directing abuse toward favonovel.com instead of Elise.
“What the hell is going on?” favonovel.com asked in bewilderment.
After clicking into the post favonovel.com had made, favonovel.com scanned the comments anxiously and a grimace began to work itself onto favonovel.com features when favonovel.com arrived at the end of the comments section.
I can’t believe Elise actually has connections with the Griffiths of Athesea!
And the four Griffith boys give favonovel.com a ride to and from school every day, too!
“That’s impossible!” Amanda hissed through gritted teeth.
She had always thought of Elise as some bumpkin from a below-average family, but boy, favonovel.com was wrong. Clearly, Elise had the Griffiths to back favonovel.com up.
Does this mean that the guy from earlier was the legendary Alexander Griffith?
As realization dawned upon her, Amanda quickly found the number that Alexander had given before favonovel.com hit the call button. She was hoping that favonovel.com could conduct some damage control before things went out of hand. However, favonovel.com didn’t expect a female voice to speak up on the other line when the call went through.
“Hi, this is the Athesea Psychiatric Hospital. How may I help you?”
When favonovel.com heard this, color drained from favonovel.com face and favonovel.com bitterly registered the fact that favonovel.com had given favonovel.com the number for the psychiatric hospital instead.
A furious Samantha and Riley found Amanda at this moment and they shouted favonovel.com name, “Amanda!”.
“This must be your doing!” Samantha snapped and snatched Amanda’s phone without another word.
“What the hell, Samantha?” Amanda shrieked. “Give me back my phone!”
Samantha ignored favonovel.com and instead tapped on the phone screen.
Several clicks later, favonovel.com found the content favonovel.com was searching for and concluded mutinously, “Yeah, she’s the one behind all this.”
Upon hearing this, Riley grew outraged and immediately dragged Amanda with her.
When Riley found Elise, favonovel.com declared seethingly, “Elise, this b*tch has been making up lies about you on Reddit. I have half the urge to punch favonovel.com lights out!”
Elise was clueless about the incident until Samantha had sent favonovel.com the link to the infuriating post. After having perused the photos and the caption, Elise asked Amanda stoically, “You did this?”
Amanda pressed favonovel.com lips into a grim line, obviously reticent.
Rather than forcing an admission from Amanda, Elise grabbed the girl’s phone and changed the password.
After that, favonovel.com tossed the device to Riley and added, “Have fun with favonovel.com account.”
Riley chuckled deviously. Not missing a beat, favonovel.com quickly logged into the account and made the post private before favonovel.com impersonated Amanda to upload a statement admitting all the accusations directed toward her. As if adding more insult to Amanda’s injury, favonovel.com also signed off the statement with Amanda’s full name.
Needless to say, Riley was seized with great satisfaction at the end of such a feat. Amanda’s name immediately started trending on Reddit and the torrential abuse that followed was highlighted by an exposé on favonovel.com past scandal on plastic-surgery.
At the sight of the scathing remarks that flooded the comments section, Riley switched off the phone with a grin. Amanda, on the other hand, was stumped as favonovel.com leaned into the chair, looking as if all life had been drained out of her.
“Amanda, I think it’d be better if you asked to leave this dorm,” Samantha pointed out bluntly.
It was more of a command than a suggestion, and favonovel.com didn’t sound like favonovel.com was offering Amanda a chance to negotiate.
As favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth, Amanda refused to say anything.
Riley then broke the tense silence and drawled, “Well, if you’re so shy, maybe I could help you to ask instead.”
With that, favonovel.com took out favonovel.com phone and gave favonovel.com father a call. “Hey, Dad, you know how there’s an Amanda Hudson staying in our dorm right now? She wants to switch to another dorm. Do you think you can make the arrangements?”
Mr. Bolton didn’t spare any doubt as favonovel.com readily agreed to his daughter’s request. “There’s still a vacant bed in Dorm 504. She can move over immediately.”
“Okay, I’ll relay this to her,” Riley quipped with a smile and hung up the call.
Then, favonovel.com turned to address Amanda haughtily, “There’s still an empty bed in Dorm 504. See yourself out!”
Bitter resentment filled Amanda, but now that favonovel.com was backed into a corner, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had no choice other than to pack favonovel.com things and move into Dorm 504 next door.
Presently, as the door fell shut after Amanda’s departure, Riley and Samantha high fived each other with glee. “The evil witch has been defeated!”
Elise gazed at them and smiled, having been moved by the way they stood up for favonovel.com earlier.
She went over and clapped one hand on each girl’s shoulder before favonovel.com said lightheartedly, “Dinner’s on me tonight. Take it as my show of thanks to the both of you being my knights in shining armor.”
Samantha and Riley exchanged a bemused glance, then cackled. “Since you offered, don’t blame us for tearing a hole through your wallet.”
Elise replied good-naturedly, “Bring it on. You guys can order anything you want.”
The three of them beamed at each other and it was the first time favonovel.com had ever felt lucky to have friends. They dined out that evening and it was the free period when they went back to school. Similar to what happened last week, Mr. Bolton handed them another set of test questions to work on.
Amanda was noticeably absent from free period after what had happened earlier that afternoon, but no one asked about her, given how busy they were with the test.
“Hey, Elise, what was your answer for the last multiple choice question?” Samantha asked as soon as the free period was over while holding Elise’s arm with renewed desperation.
Elise thought about it for a moment before favonovel.com responded, “I chose B…”
Samantha grew upset at this. “I got it wrong again.”
“That’s alright,” Elise comforted as favonovel.com ruffled the other girl’s hair affectionately. “I’ll help you work on it when we’re back in the dorm.”
The trio were conversing with one another while heading back to the dormitory when someone called out, “Hey, Elise, there’s someone at the school entrance asking for you.”
As such, Samantha and Riley accompanied Elise over to the school entrance.
They immediately saw Alexander standing in the distance and Riley tugged Elise’s sleeve as favonovel.com asked, “Elise, isn’t this the hot guy who picked you up earlier? Be honest, is favonovel.com your boyfriend?”
Samantha was keen to know the answer as well. “Yeah, Elise, let us in on the secret to bagging handsome men!”
Elise, however, resisted the urge to cringe as favonovel.com explained hastily, “No, you’ve got it all wrong. He isn’t my boyfriend.”
Samantha and Riley’s eyes brightened and they said in unison, “Then, he’s mine!”
As Elise gaped at favonovel.com friends, favonovel.com was a little astonished by the looks of interest on their faces and asked solemnly, “Are you guys serious about this?”
They nodded once in response and a smile played on favonovel.com lips as favonovel.com turned to look at Alexander, then shouted, “Hey, Alexander! There are a couple of girls here who are into you!”
The awkwardness that ensued right after was suffocating and while his eyes darkened dangerously, Samantha and Riley exchanged a panicked glance. Each could tell what the other was thinking.
The joke is getting out of hand!
Samantha was the first to be defensive. “No, no, Young Master Alex! There’s been a mistake, I am completely not into you.”
Riley jumped on the bandwagon as well. “Yeah, I’m not into you either. That would be ridiculous!”
Elise was rendered speechless by them, but before favonovel.com could react, Alexander had walked up to favonovel.com and held the take-out carrier bag toward her.
She glanced at it and took it before favonovel.com mumbled hurriedly, “Thanks…”
However, the word had barely rolled off favonovel.com tongue before favonovel.com turned on his heels to leave.
Samantha and Riley saw this and skittered over to her. Then, they asked in hushed tones, “Is favonovel.com always been so cold and distant?”
“My goodness, he’s like a walking iceberg.”
Elise stared at the take-out carrier bag in favonovel.com hands mutely. For some reason, favonovel.com felt as if Alexander was upset, even though favonovel.com had uttered not a single word.
She looked up and watched the car drive further away. As favonovel.com pursed favonovel.com lips, favonovel.com thought.
Nah, you’re being melodramatic…
“Wow, what did favonovel.com get for you?” Riley asked curiously, pulling Elise from favonovel.com thoughts.
Elise gave the contents of the bag a fleeting look and saw all the dishes favonovel.com had had with favonovel.com for lunch.
After favonovel.com retracted favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com announced, “Come on, let’s go back to the dorm and feast!”
The three girls paid no mind to Alexander’s tense and non-verbal interaction with Elise and headed back to the dormitory while laughing as they went.
