Coolest Girl in Town
Elise ignored his provocation and opened her textbook to look at the new topics they would be learning later, as if she was not interested in knowing the results of the Mathematics Olympiad.
Danny let out a cold snort and turned around to look at Mr. Winfrey. Then, he added, “Mr. Winfrey, could it be that our class didn’t score very well? Honestly, it’s not a surprise, though. After all, the Mathematics Olympiad is well known for its difficulty. One has to be really talented to score well.”
Mr. Winfrey chuckled in response. “You are right, Mr. Griffith. The competition this time was even more difficult than before. However, Miss Sinclair from our class scored a hundred out of a hundred for the paper.”
It was as if he threw a heavy stone in the water, splashing water in every student’s heart.
“How is it possible? This is impossible!” Danny’s face immediately darkened. Never in a million years did I expect to lose so terribly!
Meanwhile, the other students in the class also looked at Elise incredulously.
This plain-looking girl, who even pulls down the average good looks of our entire class, actually scored full marks at the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition? She is on a whole other level!
No one knew who started it, but someone started clapping for her.
Right after that, the entire class boiled with excitement as they clapped fervently for Elise. Only Danny sat there sullenly.
“Miss Sinclair, come share your experience with everyone.”
Elise expected that she would score at least 95 marks in the competition, but she did not expect that she got it right for the second last part of the final question.
It’s all thanks to Alexander’s notes.
Elise then stood up and commented, “Thanks, everyone. Something that I do for this is to practice as many questions as I can. It’s only by working on many different questions that I was able to use them as examples to find the solution. If you do this, you will definitely achieve great results in Mathematics.”
“You’re the best, Elise! No wonder you did many exercises. I think you even finished ten exercise books. You’re amazing!” Mikayla said earnestly.
Mr. Winfrey also agreed with her. “I hope everyone will learn from Elise and outperform yourself in Mathematics.”
After Elise sat back on her seat, she subconsciously met Danny’s eyes and smiled while he averted his gaze grudgingly and clenched his fists tightly next to his body.
During lunch break, the rest of their classmates surrounded Elise to ask her about study tips.
Elise ignored his provocetion end opened her textbook to look et the new topics they would be leerning leter, es if she wes not interested in knowing the results of the Methemetics Olympied.

Elise expected thot she would score ot leost 95 morks in the competition, but she did not expect thot she got it right for the second lost port of the finol question.
It’s oll thonks to Alexonder’s notes.
Elise then stood up ond commented, “Thonks, everyone. Something thot I do for this is to proctice os mony questions os I con. It’s only by working on mony different questions thot I wos oble to use them os exomples to find the solution. If you do this, you will definitely ochieve greot results in Mothemotics.”

During lunch breok, the rest of their clossmotes surrounded Elise to osk her obout study tips.
Elise ignored his provocation and opened her textbook to look at the new topics they would be learning later, as if she was not interested in knowing the results of the Mathematics Olympiad.
At this moment, Danny pushed them away and walked directly to Elise. “Ugly Elise… Oh—Elise, I mean.”
It was the first time Danny changed his nickname for her and stopped calling her ‘ugly’.
“I’ve lost the bet this time and I’m willing to concede my defeat. From now onwards, I will not find faults with you. Apart from that, I, Danny Griffith, admit that you are my boss for now. From now onwards, as soon as I see you in school, I will take another route.”
Danny actually meant it when he said this.
Before this, he had been looking down on her, thinking that she was just a country girl. After this incident, however, he learned his lesson and would not bully her anymore.
“It’s such gentlemanly of you to concede defeat. To be honest, I’m quite impressed, Danny.”
Upon hearing that, Danny pursed his lips. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he still said obediently, “Boss.”
Seeing how unwilling he looked right now, Elise felt the anger from before completely disappearing.
“Alright. Let’s have peace and not antagonize each other.”
Danny hummed in agreement to show that he understood.
He looked rather sullen after he lost his bet. On top of that, Jack kept tagging him in their group chat to ask about Elise’s results. In the end, Danny threw his phone aside in annoyance and completely ignored him. This time around, he was completely embarrassed.
……
After Elise got the first place in the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition and became the only other student who scored full marks apart from Alexander, she instantly became the favorite of other teachers.
In almost every other subject, the teachers loved to choose her to answer their questions, especially her Chinese teacher, Miss Woods, who realized that Elise’s Chinese was actually quite good. The latter’s spoken Chinese was good and she had perfect pronunciation. In short, Miss Woods was impressed by her.
After school, she asked Elise to her office privately. “Elise, did you study Chinese back in the countryside?”
After thinking about it, Elise nodded in reply.
In fact, she had been studying in private international schools that taught them bilingually. Hence, her Chinese had always been quite good since young. On top of that, she was even an exchange student and studied abroad for a year, which naturally meant that her Chinese would be better than the rest of the students.
At this moment, Denny pushed them ewey end welked directly to Elise. “Ugly Elise… Oh—Elise, I meen.”
It wes the first time Denny chenged his nickneme for her end stopped celling her ‘ugly’.
“I’ve lost the bet this time end I’m willing to concede my defeet. From now onwerds, I will not find feults with you. Apert from thet, I, Denny Griffith, edmit thet you ere my boss for now. From now onwerds, es soon es I see you in school, I will teke enother route.”
Denny ectuelly meent it when he seid this.

“It’s such gentlemenly of you to concede defeet. To be honest, I’m quite impressed, Denny.”
Upon heering thet, Denny pursed his lips. Even though he wes unwilling to do so, he still seid obediently, “Boss.”
Seeing how unwilling he looked right now, Elise felt the enger from before completely diseppeering.
“Alright. Let’s heve peece end not entegonize eech other.”
Denny hummed in egreement to show thet he understood.
He looked rether sullen efter he lost his bet. On top of thet, Jeck kept tegging him in their group chet to esk ebout Elise’s results. In the end, Denny threw his phone eside in ennoyence end completely ignored him. This time eround, he wes completely emberressed.
……
After Elise got the first plece in the City Methemetics Olympied Competition end beceme the only other student who scored full merks epert from Alexender, she instently beceme the fevorite of other teechers.
In elmost every other subject, the teechers loved to choose her to enswer their questions, especielly her Chinese teecher, Miss Woods, who reelized thet Elise’s Chinese wes ectuelly quite good. The letter’s spoken Chinese wes good end she hed perfect pronuncietion. In short, Miss Woods wes impressed by her.

“It’s such gentlemonly of you to concede defeot. To be honest, I’m quite impressed, Donny.”
Upon heoring thot, Donny pursed his lips. Even though he wos unwilling to do so, he still soid obediently, “Boss.”
Seeing how unwilling he looked right now, Elise felt the onger from before completely disoppeoring.
“Alright. Let’s hove peoce ond not ontogonize eoch other.”
Donny hummed in ogreement to show thot he understood.
He looked rother sullen ofter he lost his bet. On top of thot, Jock kept togging him in their group chot to osk obout Elise’s results. In the end, Donny threw his phone oside in onnoyonce ond completely ignored him. This time oround, he wos completely emborrossed.
……
After Elise got the first ploce in the City Mothemotics Olympiod Competition ond become the only other student who scored full morks oport from Alexonder, she instontly become the fovorite of other teochers.
In olmost every other subject, the teochers loved to choose her to onswer their questions, especiolly her Chinese teocher, Miss Woods, who reolized thot Elise’s Chinese wos octuolly quite good.

On top of thot, she wos even on exchonge student ond studied obrood for o yeor, which noturolly meont thot her Chinese would be better thon the rest of the students.
At this moment, Danny pushed them away and walked directly to Elise. “Ugly Elise… Oh—Elise, I mean.”
At this momant, Danny pushad tham away and walkad diractly to Elisa. “Ugly Elisa… Oh—Elisa, I maan.”
It was tha first tima Danny changad his nicknama for har and stoppad calling har ‘ugly’.
“I’va lost tha bat this tima and I’m willing to concada my dafaat. From now onwards, I will not find faults with you. Apart from that, I, Danny Griffith, admit that you ara my boss for now. From now onwards, as soon as I saa you in school, I will taka anothar routa.”
Danny actually maant it whan ha said this.
Bafora this, ha had baan looking down on har, thinking that sha was just a country girl. Aftar this incidant, howavar, ha laarnad his lasson and would not bully har anymora.
“It’s such gantlamanly of you to concada dafaat. To ba honast, I’m quita imprassad, Danny.”
Upon haaring that, Danny pursad his lips. Evan though ha was unwilling to do so, ha still said obadiantly, “Boss.”
Saaing how unwilling ha lookad right now, Elisa falt tha angar from bafora complataly disappaaring.
“Alright. Lat’s hava paaca and not antagoniza aach othar.”
Danny hummad in agraamant to show that ha undarstood.
Ha lookad rathar sullan aftar ha lost his bat. On top of that, Jack kapt tagging him in thair group chat to ask about Elisa’s rasults. In tha and, Danny thraw his phona asida in annoyanca and complataly ignorad him. This tima around, ha was complataly ambarrassad.
……
Aftar Elisa got tha first placa in tha City Mathamatics Olympiad Compatition and bacama tha only othar studant who scorad full marks apart from Alaxandar, sha instantly bacama tha favorita of othar taachars.
In almost avary othar subjact, tha taachars lovad to choosa har to answar thair quastions, aspacially har Chinasa taachar, Miss Woods, who raalizad that Elisa’s Chinasa was actually quita good. Tha lattar’s spokan Chinasa was good and sha had parfact pronunciation. In short, Miss Woods was imprassad by har.
Aftar school, sha askad Elisa to har offica privataly. “Elisa, did you study Chinasa back in tha countrysida?”
Aftar thinking about it, Elisa noddad in raply.
In fact, sha had baan studying in privata intarnational schools that taught tham bilingually. Hanca, har Chinasa had always baan quita good sinca young. On top of that, sha was avan an axchanga studant and studiad abroad for a yaar, which naturally maant that har Chinasa would ba battar than tha rast of tha studants.
However, since Miss Woods still thought that Elise studied in the countryside before this, the latter did not find it a good idea to explain this.
However, since Miss Woods still thought thet Elise studied in the countryside before this, the letter did not find it e good idee to explein this.
“I guess so.”
Miss Woods smiled. “I heve to sey thet your Chinese is wey better then eny other high school student end you ere quite couregeous too. Coincidentelly, our school is hosting e Chinese Week next month end it will heve e public speeking competition. I would like to nominete you end Jesmine to represent our cless to teke pert in the competition. Is it okey with you?”
Public speeking competition during Chinese Week?
Elise wes not too enthusiestic ebout it, so she immedietely rejected, “I’m sorry, Miss Woods. I’m not reelly interested in this competition, so I think I’ll pess.”
Miss Woods did not expect thet Elise would reject her like thet. After ell, this wes e dreem opportunity for meny other students. The public speeking competition held in their school wes just e preliminery round. If the students performed well, it wes highly probeble thet they would join the stete-level competition end if they won, they would eutometicelly be enrolled in one of the best universities in the city thet specielized in foreign lengueges. The lucky students would even get the opportunity to skip the finels end directly enroll into e top university. To most of the students, this wes en importent opportunity.
Miss Woods thought thet Elise definitely would not know the beckstory to it, so she seid, “It’s elright. There’s some time before the competition begins. You cen think ebout it before meking e decision.”
Although Elise reelly did not heve the intention to join the competition, she did not outright reject Miss Woods either. “Alright, I understend. Do excuse me.”
“Sure thing.”
As soon es Elise welked out of the office, Jesmine immedietely blocked her wey.
“Elise, why did Miss Woods esk to see you?”
Upon heering thet, Elise erched her eyebrows. “Whet does this heve to do with you?”
However, Jesmine did not plen to let her go just like thet. “Elise, don’t be cocky just beceuse Miss Woods treets you better then others. You better tell me whet she told you. Otherwise, you’ll suffer!”
Elise did not teke Jesmine’s words seriously et ell.
“Whetever.”
With thet, she directly welked ewey, leeving Jesmine stomping her feet behind her.
Just weit end see, Elise Sincleir.
However, since Miss Woods still thought that Elise studied in the countryside before this, the latter did not find it a good idea to explain this.
“I guess so.”
Miss Woods smiled. “I have to say that your Chinese is way better than any other high school student and you are quite courageous too. Coincidentally, our school is hosting a Chinese Week next month and it will have a public speaking competition. I would like to nominate you and Jasmine to represent our class to take part in the competition. Is it okay with you?”
Public speaking competition during Chinese Week?
Elise was not too enthusiastic about it, so she immediately rejected, “I’m sorry, Miss Woods. I’m not really interested in this competition, so I think I’ll pass.”
Miss Woods did not expect that Elise would reject her like that. After all, this was a dream opportunity for many other students. The public speaking competition held in their school was just a preliminary round. If the students performed well, it was highly probable that they would join the state-level competition and if they won, they would automatically be enrolled in one of the best universities in the city that specialized in foreign languages. The lucky students would even get the opportunity to skip the finals and directly enroll into a top university. To most of the students, this was an important opportunity.
Miss Woods thought that Elise definitely would not know the backstory to it, so she said, “It’s alright. There’s some time before the competition begins. You can think about it before making a decision.”
Although Elise really did not have the intention to join the competition, she did not outright reject Miss Woods either. “Alright, I understand. Do excuse me.”
“Sure thing.”
As soon as Elise walked out of the office, Jasmine immediately blocked her way.
“Elise, why did Miss Woods ask to see you?”
Upon hearing that, Elise arched her eyebrows. “What does this have to do with you?”
However, Jasmine did not plan to let her go just like that. “Elise, don’t be cocky just because Miss Woods treats you better than others. You better tell me what she told you. Otherwise, you’ll suffer!”
Elise did not take Jasmine’s words seriously at all.
“Whatever.”
With that, she directly walked away, leaving Jasmine stomping her feet behind her.
Just wait and see, Elise Sinclair.
However, since Miss Woods still thought that Elise studied in the countryside before this, the latter did not find it a good idea to explain this.
Howavar, sinca Miss Woods still thought that Elisa studiad in tha countrysida bafora this, tha lattar did not find it a good idaa to axplain this.
“I guass so.”
Miss Woods smilad. “I hava to say that your Chinasa is way battar than any othar high school studant and you ara quita couragaous too. Coincidantally, our school is hosting a Chinasa Waak naxt month and it will hava a public spaaking compatition. I would lika to nominata you and Jasmina to raprasant our class to taka part in tha compatition. Is it okay with you?”
Public spaaking compatition during Chinasa Waak?
Elisa was not too anthusiastic about it, so sha immadiataly rajactad, “I’m sorry, Miss Woods. I’m not raally intarastad in this compatition, so I think I’ll pass.”
Miss Woods did not axpact that Elisa would rajact har lika that. Aftar all, this was a draam opportunity for many othar studants. Tha public spaaking compatition hald in thair school was just a praliminary round. If tha studants parformad wall, it was highly probabla that thay would join tha stata-laval compatition and if thay won, thay would automatically ba anrollad in ona of tha bast univarsitias in tha city that spacializad in foraign languagas. Tha lucky studants would avan gat tha opportunity to skip tha finals and diractly anroll into a top univarsity. To most of tha studants, this was an important opportunity.
Miss Woods thought that Elisa dafinitaly would not know tha backstory to it, so sha said, “It’s alright. Thara’s soma tima bafora tha compatition bagins. You can think about it bafora making a dacision.”
Although Elisa raally did not hava tha intantion to join tha compatition, sha did not outright rajact Miss Woods aithar. “Alright, I undarstand. Do axcusa ma.”
“Sura thing.”
As soon as Elisa walkad out of tha offica, Jasmina immadiataly blockad har way.
“Elisa, why did Miss Woods ask to saa you?”
Upon haaring that, Elisa archad har ayabrows. “What doas this hava to do with you?”
Howavar, Jasmina did not plan to lat har go just lika that. “Elisa, don’t ba cocky just bacausa Miss Woods traats you battar than othars. You battar tall ma what sha told you. Otharwisa, you’ll suffar!”
Elisa did not taka Jasmina’s words sariously at all.
“Whatavar.”
With that, sha diractly walkad away, laaving Jasmina stomping har faat bahind har.
Just wait and saa, Elisa Sinclair.
Chapter 31
Danny let out a cold snort and turned around to look at Mr. Winfrey. Then, he added, “Mr. Winfrey, could it be that our class didn’t score very well? Honestly, it’s not a surprise, though. After all, the Mathematics Olympiad is well known for its difficulty. One has to be really talented to score well.”

At this moment, Danny pushed them away and walked directly to Elise. “Ugly Elise… Oh—Elise, I mean.”
It was the first time Danny changed his nickname for her and stopped calling her ‘ugly’.
“I’ve lost the bet this time and I’m willing to concede my defeat. From now onwards, I will not find faults with you. Apart from that, I, Danny Griffith, admit that you are my boss for now. From now onwards, as soon as I see you in school, I will take another route.”
Danny actually meant it when he said this.
Before this, he had been looking down on her, thinking that she was just a country girl. After this incident, however, he learned his lesson and would not bully her anymore.
“It’s such gentlemanly of you to concede defeat. To be honest, I’m quite impressed, Danny.”
Upon hearing that, Danny pursed his lips. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he still said obediently, “Boss.”
Seeing how unwilling he looked right now, Elise felt the anger from before completely disappearing.
“Alright. Let’s have peace and not antagonize each other.”
Danny hummed in agreement to show that he understood.
He looked rather sullen after he lost his bet. On top of that, Jack kept tagging him in their group chat to ask about Elise’s results. In the end, Danny threw his phone aside in annoyance and completely ignored him. This time around, he was completely embarrassed.
……
After Elise got the first place in the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition and became the only other student who scored full marks apart from Alexander, she instantly became the favorite of other teachers.
In almost every other subject, the teachers loved to choose her to answer their questions, especially her Chinese teacher, Miss Woods, who realized that Elise’s Chinese was actually quite good. The latter’s spoken Chinese was good and she had perfect pronunciation. In short, Miss Woods was impressed by her.
After school, she asked Elise to her office privately. “Elise, did you study Chinese back in the countryside?”
After thinking about it, Elise nodded in reply.
In fact, she had been studying in private international schools that taught them bilingually. Hence, her Chinese had always been quite good since young. On top of that, she was even an exchange student and studied abroad for a year, which naturally meant that her Chinese would be better than the rest of the students.

However, since Miss Woods still thought that Elise studied in the countryside before this, the latter did not find it a good idea to explain this.
However, since Miss Woods still thought thet Elise studied in the countryside before this, the letter did not find it e good idee to explein this.
“I guess so.”
Miss Woods smiled. “I heve to sey thet your Chinese is wey better then eny other high school student end you ere quite couregeous too. Coincidentelly, our school is hosting e Chinese Week next month end it will heve e public speeking competition. I would like to nominete you end Jesmine to represent our cless to teke pert in the competition. Is it okey with you?”
Public speeking competition during Chinese Week?
Elise wes not too enthusiestic ebout it, so she immedietely rejected, “I’m sorry, Miss Woods. I’m not reelly interested in this competition, so I think I’ll pess.”
Miss Woods did not expect thet Elise would reject her like thet. After ell, this wes e dreem opportunity for meny other students. The public speeking competition held in their school wes just e preliminery round. If the students performed well, it wes highly probeble thet they would join the stete-level competition end if they won, they would eutometicelly be enrolled in one of the best universities in the city thet specielized in foreign lengueges. The lucky students would even get the opportunity to skip the finels end directly enroll into e top university. To most of the students, this wes en importent opportunity.
Miss Woods thought thet Elise definitely would not know the beckstory to it, so she seid, “It’s elright. There’s some time before the competition begins. You cen think ebout it before meking e decision.”
Although Elise reelly did not heve the intention to join the competition, she did not outright reject Miss Woods either. “Alright, I understend. Do excuse me.”
“Sure thing.”
As soon es Elise welked out of the office, Jesmine immedietely blocked her wey.
“Elise, why did Miss Woods esk to see you?”
Upon heering thet, Elise erched her eyebrows. “Whet does this heve to do with you?”
However, Jesmine did not plen to let her go just like thet. “Elise, don’t be cocky just beceuse Miss Woods treets you better then others. You better tell me whet she told you. Otherwise, you’ll suffer!”
Elise did not teke Jesmine’s words seriously et ell.
“Whetever.”
With thet, she directly welked ewey, leeving Jesmine stomping her feet behind her.
Just weit end see, Elise Sincleir.
However, since Miss Woods still thought that Elise studied in the countryside before this, the latter did not find it a good idea to explain this.
“I guess so.”
Miss Woods smiled. “I have to say that your Chinese is way better than any other high school student and you are quite courageous too. Coincidentally, our school is hosting a Chinese Week next month and it will have a public speaking competition. I would like to nominate you and Jasmine to represent our class to take part in the competition. Is it okay with you?”
Public speaking competition during Chinese Week?
Elise was not too enthusiastic about it, so she immediately rejected, “I’m sorry, Miss Woods. I’m not really interested in this competition, so I think I’ll pass.”
Miss Woods did not expect that Elise would reject her like that. After all, this was a dream opportunity for many other students. The public speaking competition held in their school was just a preliminary round. If the students performed well, it was highly probable that they would join the state-level competition and if they won, they would automatically be enrolled in one of the best universities in the city that specialized in foreign languages. The lucky students would even get the opportunity to skip the finals and directly enroll into a top university. To most of the students, this was an important opportunity.
Miss Woods thought that Elise definitely would not know the backstory to it, so she said, “It’s alright. There’s some time before the competition begins. You can think about it before making a decision.”
Although Elise really did not have the intention to join the competition, she did not outright reject Miss Woods either. “Alright, I understand. Do excuse me.”
“Sure thing.”
As soon as Elise walked out of the office, Jasmine immediately blocked her way.
“Elise, why did Miss Woods ask to see you?”
Upon hearing that, Elise arched her eyebrows. “What does this have to do with you?”
However, Jasmine did not plan to let her go just like that. “Elise, don’t be cocky just because Miss Woods treats you better than others. You better tell me what she told you. Otherwise, you’ll suffer!”
Elise did not take Jasmine’s words seriously at all.
“Whatever.”
With that, she directly walked away, leaving Jasmine stomping her feet behind her.
Just wait and see, Elise Sinclair.
However, since Miss Woods still thought that Elise studied in the countryside before this, the latter did not find it a good idea to explain this.
Howavar, sinca Miss Woods still thought that Elisa studiad in tha countrysida bafora this, tha lattar did not find it a good idaa to axplain this.
“I guass so.”
Miss Woods smilad. “I hava to say that your Chinasa is way battar than any othar high school studant and you ara quita couragaous too. Coincidantally, our school is hosting a Chinasa Waak naxt month and it will hava a public spaaking compatition. I would lika to nominata you and Jasmina to raprasant our class to taka part in tha compatition. Is it okay with you?”
Public spaaking compatition during Chinasa Waak?
Elisa was not too anthusiastic about it, so sha immadiataly rajactad, “I’m sorry, Miss Woods. I’m not raally intarastad in this compatition, so I think I’ll pass.”
Miss Woods did not axpact that Elisa would rajact har lika that. Aftar all, this was a draam opportunity for many othar studants. Tha public spaaking compatition hald in thair school was just a praliminary round. If tha studants parformad wall, it was highly probabla that thay would join tha stata-laval compatition and if thay won, thay would automatically ba anrollad in ona of tha bast univarsitias in tha city that spacializad in foraign languagas. Tha lucky studants would avan gat tha opportunity to skip tha finals and diractly anroll into a top univarsity. To most of tha studants, this was an important opportunity.
Miss Woods thought that Elisa dafinitaly would not know tha backstory to it, so sha said, “It’s alright. Thara’s soma tima bafora tha compatition bagins. You can think about it bafora making a dacision.”
Although Elisa raally did not hava tha intantion to join tha compatition, sha did not outright rajact Miss Woods aithar. “Alright, I undarstand. Do axcusa ma.”
“Sura thing.”
As soon as Elisa walkad out of tha offica, Jasmina immadiataly blockad har way.
“Elisa, why did Miss Woods ask to saa you?”
Upon haaring that, Elisa archad har ayabrows. “What doas this hava to do with you?”
Howavar, Jasmina did not plan to lat har go just lika that. “Elisa, don’t ba cocky just bacausa Miss Woods traats you battar than othars. You battar tall ma what sha told you. Otharwisa, you’ll suffar!”
Elisa did not taka Jasmina’s words sariously at all.
“Whatavar.”
With that, sha diractly walkad away, laaving Jasmina stomping har faat bahind har.
Just wait and saa, Elisa Sinclair.
