Class Villainess

Chapter 142 – Taking Out This Torment (5)

"Pretty sure, because it has been circulating around for so long. There is also a rumor saying that Noah might be gay because he treats Thomas a little bit too special."

"A little bit too special?" 

The more we talked about this, the more sensationalized it felt for me. I didn't know much about Noah. I had to admit that. But the way Elise portrayed him made him sound so… two-faced. 

Which was completely different from my view about Noah. He looked like a regular boy who was gay and got bullied to his death because of his sexuality. 

Now I wanted to know more about Noah.

"Yeah, the rumor circulating around said that Noah is secretly in love with Thomas, that's why he allowed Thomas to do whatever he pleased, even giving Thomas a lot of money, which came from his own allowance. Since Noah came from a wealthy but broken family," Elise explained. 

"Hold on, Elise, how did you know all of this information?" I asked. 

I mean, I could probably rebuke all those statements about Noah and Thomas easily. Because from what Noah said, he came out of the closet after he realized that he was totally gay. And the first one he told about this was Thomas because he thought they were close friends, so Thomas would accept him easily.

Turned out Thomas was homophobic, and Noah was beaten to a pulp because of his confession. 

"Mona," Elise mentioned. "Mona told me everything about them. To be honest, Mona also said that they broke up because of Thomas. Noah seems to be too submissive and obedient for that bastard Thomas. That's why Mona always felt like she was the third wheel in their relationship. Even after they were in a relationship, Noah never treated Mona like a special girl. He treated her just like his regular friend."

Well, that was because Noah was a pure gay. Of course, you cannot force a tiger to become a vegetarian. At least I knew the real reason behind this baseless rumor.

But still, I had something in mind about this case. Because Elise said that Noah and Thomas seemed to be too close to each other, but why didn't she tell me before?

"But how come Mona never talk about this with me?"

"Maybe because she still has feelings for Noah. But Noah completely ignored her these days except if there was something to do as a team in school. Yeah, it's that bad," Elise replied. 

Honestly, I was astonished by Elise's ability to itch my curiosity. This case didn't seem to be a simple one because of Noah, Mona, and Thomas's dynamic.

"That's why other students suspected that Noah might have as well been the bully because he helped Thomas in everything," Elise said. 

…

I seriously have to talk with Noah after this. I needed his explanation because now I also got suspicious of him, thanks to this talk with Elise and me. 

Now that I've talked with Elise for a minute or so, I had come to the realization that Elise was really blunt, just like what Mona told me before.

She didn't even filter her words, but what she said wasn't baseless at all. At least in this rumor about Noah and Thomas, it wasn't baseless.

Now I also understood how her blunt attitude would get her in trouble. She was brave but too brave for someone without much power, to begin with. So she could be targeted easily by some sick people, like Natasha and Barbie.

"Let's just move on to the real topic right now. I can talk with Noah later on because he is on my side right now," I said. "Don't worry, I will not spill about our conversation today. I know my limit to keep our agreement."

Elise looked satisfied with my answer, and she finally nodded, "Thank you, Emmy. I can answer everything about what happened other than the exact reconstruction of what happened that day, especially when they start… you know."

"I know. You don't need to talk about that," I said. "I… I also have a similar experience. That's why I know you don't want to talk about the detail of that bad experience."

"Good to know, Emmy. I hope our experience could make us a great team," Elise smiled thin. "Now, what do you want to know?"

"Okay, first, I want to know what exactly you said to Natasha that led to this?"

…

Elise paused for a moment. It seemed that she was trying to remember what she had said before. Which implied that Elise didn't pay much attention to what she said out loud usually. And she didn't seem to be someone who cared whether the person liked it or not. 

"Uh, I think I told Mona about this before. But I'm not sure if I actually remembered correctly right now. It was just a small joke because I was so annoyed by her antics. She thinks that he is above all just because her Dad is a donator in school, even though there are plenty of richer donators right now."

"When she starts disrespecting the teacher and class, I just told her to shut up and listen to the class because all those donations wouldn't save her from failing class and life."

…

I mean, it wasn't really as vicious as I expected. I actually expected more. But Natasha was one of those rich kids who refused to hang out with us, the poor. 

They held their own party and social gathering. So her arrogance must've been up high in the air. Though, even a small joke could lead to a big disaster.

They were easily offended with everything and usually liked to bully the one they didn't like viciously, just like what happened to me in my previous life and current Elise. 

"Well, I honestly don't find any problem with what you said to Natasha. Maybe she was just too sensitive. Thinking of anything you do would always be wrong. "

"Yeah, she has animosity towards me even before this. Because I always bluntly called her out without filter, just like what I did before." 

"Okay, since we finally got the mastermind behind this, are you sure you don't want to take her too?"

"Just because I'm targeting those three bastards first doesn't mean I don't want to take revenge on Natasha. I want to take her down, but I failed because she always looks safe," Elise denied. 

"Then we should see it from Barbie. Didn't I tell you that they are working together to take you down? They are the ones who tormented your life."

"I mean, that's the deal between us, right? We're going to take on the underlings first before we take on the big boss."

"Indeed, that is the deal between us," I replied. "If there is proof that Barbie and Natasha were working together, then you would give you my best and help me, right?"

"Yes," Elise nodded.

"Now, since we have talked about everything yesterday on the phone. I want to talk about the execution instead. I cleared my throat and started, "First of all, we need money for this kind of stuff. Of course, we can always tell those three bastards that their payment would be after the task was well done."

"But I also don't think they are willing to do anything without a front payment. That's why I want to play some mind game with them, Elise."

"Mind game?" Elsie tilted her head. 

"Yes, we should give them a fantastic prize as their reward, let's say maybe for the reward of 4000 dollars, those three stooges had to do something requested."

"Meanwhile, we only have 2000 dollars in my bag. So I put all the money I had to be the three stooges as their front payment."

"Those three bastards would be excited to finish the job because they already got 2000 dollars, they might be able to buy a lot of things with a total of 4000! That'd definitely invite them!"

"Oh, I think I get what you mean, Emmy," Elise said. "What do you mean is, you want to bait them with the big prize to incite them, right? That's actually a great idea, but…."

Elise sighed. "So how could you get yourself 2000 in the first place. Because I doubt you're rich."

Damn, that actually hurt me more than I expected. Her bluntness really was an acquired taste for most people. 

"Don't worry about that. I have someone that can help me," I said, thinking of no other than the red rose man. Only he could help her in this difficult money situation. 

"Really? You have someone that would willingly give you 2000 bucks without any question?" Elise looked surprised. 

"Of course, there is always a give and take situation between us. But you don't need to think about that one. Just remember that I have enough power to make sure that we can get that 2000 bucks, or even more if I want."
