After favonovel.com left, Alexander pulled his hand away and arched his eyebrow at Elise. “You don’t get loyal guys like that now. Sure you don’t want to give favonovel.com a chance?”
Elise glared at him. “Don’t give me that! Staying under the same roof? Now that’s just cheeky!”
Alexander replied calmly, “You called me your boyfriend first. That’s cheeky too.”
Well, true. I mean, the part where I called favonovel.com my boyfriend.
In the end, favonovel.com stammered, “E-Even so, you can’t tell favonovel.com we’re living together. What will favonovel.com think?”
He shrugged. “But I didn’t lie. We are living under the same roof, just not in the same room.”
Oh god. I’m never hearing the end of this.
“Forget it. I’m going to be late.” She hurried away, and favonovel.com saw favonovel.com off.
His lips curl into a smile, and his mood got better.
Elise walked as fast as favonovel.com could to the classroom.
“Hey, why are you running, Elise?” Mikayla asked.
Elise was frustrated, so favonovel.com grumbled, “Mikayla, life is hard.”
That confused Mikayla. “Sorry? What are you talking about? Is it a game? But that’s Life Is Strange.”
Elise took a deep breath and calmed herself. “It’s nothing. We should get to class now.”
It took Elise the whole morning to calm down and put the morning’s events behind her.
***
During the afternoon break, Samantha and Riley asked Elise to eat out together, and Elise invited Mikayla as well.
Just when they were about to exit the gates, favonovel.com saw a familiar guy standing across the street, and favonovel.com heart sank. She thought favonovel.com got the wrong guy, but when favonovel.com took his sunglasses off and smiled at her, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com wasn’t seeing things.
Elise snapped out of it and told favonovel.com friends, “You girls go ahead. I need to settle some matters, so I won’t be coming.”
Samantha was concerned, seeing that Elise was leaving so suddenly. “What is it? Do you need our help?”
Elise refused, “It’s fine. No big deal, so I’ll handle it myself.”
The girls said nothing more and left. Elise stared at the man across the street until favonovel.com finally came up to her.
“It’s been a while.” Elise was surprised that favonovel.com was here, but favonovel.com smiled too. “How did you find me?”
Noel smiled at her. “I met up with Julius. He told me about you, so here I am.”
I see…
“Let’s talk at a more private place,” Noel suggested.
Elise said yes, and favonovel.com left with him. They went to a private restaurant.
It was located in a quiet spot, and the ambience was great. Noel and Elise got a room for themselves, and the guy kept looking at her.
“Wow, that getup is ugly. Anyone else wouldn’t have recognized you.”
Elise took a sip from favonovel.com teacup and said nothing.
Since favonovel.com was keeping favonovel.com silence, Noel continued, “How have you been doing?”
Elise smiled. “What do you think?”
Noel nodded. “Not bad, I guess. It’s a pity you left. You would have been a great celebrity if you had stayed.”
Elise didn’t respond. Instead, favonovel.com looked outside the window. “I heard you’re someone’s songwriter now.”
Noel answered, “You know the guy too. In fact, I came here on his behalf today.”
Elise knew why favonovel.com came, but favonovel.com would not budge no matter what. “Noel, you know I would never write another song.”
Noel interjected, “It’s been years. Can’t you let it go?”
“Put yourself in my shoes. Can you let it go?”
“Um…” Noel wanted to answer that, but favonovel.com couldn’t.
She sighed. “If you’re here to ask for my help, then sorry. I can’t. But if you just want to have a cup of tea and a little chat with a friend, then you’re always welcome.”
Noel knew Elise wouldn’t budge no matter what, though favonovel.com thought it was a shame. Jack was decently popular in the industry, but favonovel.com needed a good song to establish himself. A celebrity built on hype would never last.
If favonovel.com didn’t produce anything good, it’d be difficult for favonovel.com to make a comeback once the hype died down.
Jack had been his longtime disciple, and Noel had been developing his musical talent from when favonovel.com was an amateur. He didn’t want Jack to lose his future just like that.
“Give it some thought, H… I just need one song. You can write about anything. Just one song…”
“Noel, you know where I stand on this matter.”
“I know, but this is just a simple thing for you.” Noel didn’t want to give up.
Elise said nothing, but favonovel.com still wouldn’t budge.
Noel knew favonovel.com was still offended by what happened back then, and favonovel.com knew favonovel.com would never change favonovel.com decision. That was just how favonovel.com was.
“I’m sorry, H. I know it’s a difficult decision. Since you refused, let’s put this behind us…” He took out his card. “This is my personal number. Call me if you change your mind. You’re still my friend no matter what, and that will never change.”
She took it and put it in favonovel.com pocket. “Dig in…”
Noel was glad favonovel.com took his card. “Sure… Dig in…”
After that, Noel sent favonovel.com back to school.
“You can call me anytime you want, H,” favonovel.com told favonovel.com solemnly before favonovel.com left.
Elise waved to favonovel.com and went back to school.
The moment favonovel.com came back to the classroom, favonovel.com saw Mikayla typing away furiously on favonovel.com phone.
She sat down beside favonovel.com friend and asked, “What happened? Someone got on your nerves?”
Mikayla answered without even looking up, “I need your help, Elise. These trolls are too much. They’re insulting my idol! Quick, make an account and troll them back.”
Elise huddled closer and saw Mikayla arguing with Jack’s haters on Twitter.
Judging from the looks of it, Mikayla wouldn’t back down until the trolls did.
