Chapter 49: Basketball match

Elizabeth fell asleep while crying. Natalie covers her up and lays beside her wiping her tears.

'I am back now. No one will bully my dear best friend now.' Natalie is rather an upright person and didn't stand against anyone till touches her bottoms line. She was only soft to the people she loved as for others she was rather a cold person. She will not let anyone bully her Eliza.

She takes the role of a hen protecting her chick from predators.

~~Next Morning~~

Elizabeth wakes up rubbing her eyes. She goes in front of a mirror and sees herself with puffy eyes. 'Aye... how will I go to classes now. Need to do some makeup.' She fresh n up and get ready for college wearing Natalie's clothes.

''Good morning Eliza'' Natalie tentatively didn't ask about the topic again. She knows when Elizabeth will be ready to tell her she will.

"Morning Nattie"

"So which university are you transferred to?" Elizabeth asked finding a topic to talk about.

"Queen Mary University"

"Great! we are in the same university.!" exclaimed Elizabeth.

If she remembers correctly Natalie didn't go to this university in her previous life rather she joins the film academy and groom herself into a perfect artist. Is there something change in this? she was confused.

"But aren't you going to the film academy?" she asked with a confused look.

"No, graduation first. My experience is not up to the mark so my brother asked me to complete the classes first with good grades. Also, I am in art classes so it will enrich my experience." Natalie said without blinking.

Elizabeth knew she was lying but she didn't expose her. Must be her reason or some butterfly effect, but later she will surely be joyous with the surprise.

"Okay, let's go together."

Finishing a delicious breakfast Natalie and Elizabeth move to the university biding farewell to Johnson's.

Lilly asks Eliza to come often to which Elizabeth agrees.

Elizabeth guides Natalie to the dean's office to report as everything is new to her. They decided to meet during lunch and part ways for classes.

Entering the class Elizabeth gets seated beside Rita naturally.

"Eliza, here you are." Lucy started calling out Elizabeth's name as soon as she entered class, like an old friend whom she hadn't seen for many years.

"Eliza I am sorry for the last time someone threatens me otherwise that would have happened. You know you are the closest person to me, I will never do anything which harms you."

Looking at her apologetic face Elizabeth sneered in her ear. How foolish was she to be fooled by her with such a fake appearance?

"It's alright, we will talk about it later. I know you are my best friend you can't do that to me and I am sure you will help me punish the culprit the waiter has already confessed his crime." Elizabeth's set a word trap for Lucy.

"I will do anything in my power to help you. I promise. It's great that the culprit is found" Lucy said sincerely her plan successfully proceeds and she is safe now but Elizabeth knew she is the mastermind. 'hehe.! Lucy appeared harmless on the surface but was very meticulous.'

"What happened to your hand? Is it alright? How can you injure yourself." Lucy asked glaring at Elizabeth's hand wrapped in a bandage. When others saw the caring look on Lucy's face, they would think that she had a deep affection for them. Lucy was quite curious how could she injure herself just in a day. Damn.! Why didn't her hand broke?

"It's nothing just splash with hot water at home by my negligence." Elizabeth's tone was calm, as though she wasn't in the mood to interact with her

"By the way, there's a basketball match today. Who do you think is coming?" Looking at Elizabeth's neutral appearance, she broke the news.

Basketball match? Elizabeth frowned. Other than Kevin, who could make Lucy so excited? So it's the main purpose of her white lotus appearance today.

In her previous life, it was because of this basketball game that her girl's heart had erupted. She had directly made an oath to Kevin for her entire life and love him blindly.

Her father's death, grandmother's condition, grandfather's detachment, and her miserable life was all due to him. Elizabeth's heart is filled with hatred and her eyes turned cold.

The look in her eyes frightened Lucy. "Elizabeth what happened to you? Don't scare me..!"

Hearing Lucy's voice Elizabeth returned to her state. For a moment she can't control her emotion, this isn't a good sign.

"Nothing, what did you just say?" Elizabeth didn't explain any further and directly interrupted her.

"As I said, there's a basketball match tomorrow. Guess who is coming?" Lucy said mysteriously.

"I don't know." Elizabeth's tone was calm, she wasn't interested in this so-called match.

"Kevin, it's not he hadn't told you. This time university invited them for a friendly match." Lucy was a little agitated as if she was the little girl fangirl.

Lucy is matching them on the surface but creating more opportunities for Elizabeth to fall for their trap.

It was a pity that Elizabeth already knew that this was just a delusion, but the two of them had done many shocking things in the shadows.
