After the al class each afternoon. Thans and Stella would make their way to the cafeteria for dinner and then return to the dormitory. The only path trom the cafeteria back to the dams fed past the small stadium in the west

Exiting the canteen together, they would invariably pass by the dim where Roman playeil basketball every afternoon. At
be what seemed like a vasal moment, he would pose to take a drink of water, casting his gaze towards the two girls in the
distance
Willow turned to look at Roman, and upon realizing that his attention was still focused on Eliana, she became immediately displeased and called out to him sharply, “Roman”
Roman shifted his gaze to look at Willow. “Is there anything else
Willow gritted her teeth. When Roman looked at Eliana just now his gaze was relatively gentle. However, when he looked at Willow, his face was filled with unfamiliarity and coldness
Willow thought Why? The bitch Eliana. Why does she always have to get in my way?
Willow was furious, but she could not show it on her face. However, she knew there was no point in staying any longer.
Then I’m leaving. Roman”
“Sure Roman put down the water bottle and continued to play on the court.
Willow stood there, observing as Roman didn’t even glance back, her fists clenching subtly beneath her sleeves.
At that moment, a ball suddenly flew out of the court, heading straight for Eliana.
Stella happened to be squatting down to tie her shoelaces. Eliana stood beside her, waiting, when she noticed a ball hurtling towards them at high speed. “Look out,” she warned.
Eliana tilted her head slightly at the sound. The basketball grazed her ear, causing her hair to flutter. Seeing this. Willow fumed inwardly, Why didn’t the ball hit that girl? She’s so lucky!
The basketball bounced twice on the ground. Eliana mudged it with the tip of her foot, sending it bouncing up and into her
hand.
“Miss, we’re really sorry. Could you toss the ball back to us?” came the boys‘ voices, filled with laughter and apologies from the court. Eliana turned, holding the ball in her grasp.
Roman stood on the court and looked at her gently.
Stella stood up from the ground and looked at the basketball in Eliana’s hand. She shouted towards the court, “Damn, that was close. Did you guys know how to play football or not? You almost hit Eli“
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry.”
The basketball span defily in Eliana’s hand, and a slight smile played at the corners of her mouth. “You want the ball, don’t you? Then catch this,” she said with a hint of challenge.
Eliana tossed the ball up and kicked it with three times the force she had used before. A boy, preparing to catch it, felt the impact of the basketball’s velocity as it soared towards him and suddenly stepped back, intimidated.

Chapter 59
With a resounding third, the basketball found its way into the hoop with precision, leaving everyone on the court in a state of astonished vidence
Elana clapped her hands. The careful next time, guys. Otherwise, the ball will hit you directly next time. Stella, let’s go
Everyone on the court watched Eliana and Stella leave in a daze
They discussed Eliana’s kick. “Oh my god, she’s so strong How dul she kick the ball away.
“Roman I think she’s from your club,
Yeah
“Oh, I remember now. There are two skilled newcomers who joined the tennis club this year. Could they be them?”
Eliana and Stella became well–known at Isonstead University. Many people had never seen the Eliana duo compete with their own eyes, but they had heard the rumors. Hence, they were especially curious and excited.
However, Willow was completely ignored.
She gritted her teeth and looked at those boys in front of her who were discussing Eliana. She was extremely jealous,
Why? I’m clearly number one on the Campus Belle Rankings, but why is Eliana still more popular than me? Roman ignored me It ́s because that bitch got in my way. I won’t definitely let Eliana off.
The cheerleader rehearsal was finally completed. The members participating in the league also cooperated better and
better.
Regardless of whether it was a double or solo match, Eliana’s strength was unquestionable.
When Eliana was about to leave after training and return to the lounge to change, she heard a few cheerleaders discussing “Willow said that after the league tournament, she would invite us to enjoy the performance at the Terrison Theater. Oh my I’m so looking forward to it.”
“Me too. You must be aware that the star at the Terrison Theater is the renowned artist Lucy. It’s not easy to secure tickets. How could you manage to get so many? Haven’t I heard that the theater has a strict policy against ticket scalping?”
Willow mentioned she has family working at the theater. She’s confident she can help us get tickets. Oh my goodness, I can hardly believe it. I remember seeing Lucy’s performance for the first time when I was very young. My mother has been a devoted fan of hers ever since.”
They engaged in a lively discussion about this topic. As an excellent artist, Lucy’s contributions to the art world are beyond question. Those girls were deeply engrossed in their conversation
Eliana paused in her zippering. She caught an incredible name. Mum’s performance?”
The great artist they were talking about was Eliana’s mother.
Eliana, who spent every day with Lucy, was hearing for the first time how others outside their circle appraised her mother. A wave of pride washed over her
“Yes, my mother is the best.
Eliana gently closed the door of the storage cabinet and glanced at the cheerleaders not far away.

Chapter 59
Stella noticed Eliana’s gaze and asked, “El, what’s wrong?”
“It’s okay
Stella had also heard the cheerleader’s conversation. She smiled and asked. “Eli, are you also a fan of Ms. Davis?”
Eliana’s eyes shifted slightly: “Yes, I guess so.”
Stella let out a sigh. I believe many of us in the acting department are fans of Ms. Davis. She’s also an alumna of Isonstead University, making her our senior in a way. I’ve been eager to witness her performance for quite some time, but it’s a shame that tickets to the Grandview Theater are nearly impossible to get. The tickets for the play featuring Lucy are even more
clusive.
Eliana chimed in. “You’re a fan too? Then how about I invite you all to watch it after the league tournament? What do you
think?”
“Really!” Stella looked at Eliana in surprise. Can you get two tickets?”
“Yes, I have some connections too,” Eliana said mysteriously.
Her connections were much better than Willow’s.
For Eliana, attending Lucy’s performance was as simple as asking Lucy for a behind–the–scenes pass, securing her a prime seat in the front row without any cost.
“Oh my god.” Stella’s eyes shone with golden light. “You’re too awesome. It’s so blissful to be friends with you.”
“You’re flattering me.
“I wonder if Cameron and the others are going. If they do, let’s go there together.”
The league had finally begun.
The person leading the team this time was Roman. Eliana and Stella sat in the last seats in the corner of the bus.
In the front row was a group of cheerleaders. Willow started chattering as soon as she got on the bus. It was so noisy that it gave people a headache.
