The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 37

"Hey, Summer, check out this pic." Summer's desk-mate and self-appointed sidekick, Madeline, thrust her phone into Summer's line of sight. The girl on the screen was the talk of the town, Mirabella.

"This is the new girl in The Advanced Class. Pretty hot, huh?" Madeline couldn't help but add a bit of gossip to her observation.

Summer's gaze landed on the phone. Even though it was only a profile shot of Mirabella and the picture was a tad blurry, it was clear that she shone like a lone star in the sky of the ordinary.

A shadow flickered across Summer's eyes for a moment. From the first day she laid eyes on Mirabella, she knew that face would turn heads—it was just happening sooner than she'd expected.

She couldn't wrap her head around why Mirabella was nothing like she'd anticipated. She was supposed to be shy, insecure, and a bit of a drama queen!

Summer let her eyes drop, tucking away her questions. Lifting her head, she kept any sign of unhappiness from her face and replied in her usual soft voice, "Yeah, she's pretty."

Upon hearing this, Madeline suddenly realized her faux pas. How could she praise another girl in front of their own queen, Summer? Wasn't that like an insult?

With that thought, Madeline hastily pocketed her phone, face down on the desk, and chuckled, "I mean, come on, no one's got anything on you, Summer. You're the undisputed queen bee of this school. Some country bumpkin transfer doesn't stand a chance."

Summer's eyes flickered down, and she gently chided, "Madeline, don't talk like that. Even if Mirabella comes from some small town, she's truly got the looks."

"Mirabella? You know the new girl?" Madeline perked up like she'd stumbled upon a major scoop.
