Chapter 25 Eliana felt a headache coming on from Stella's crying . She turned back to her bed and said , " I need to rest . If you're going to cry , please do it outside . " The forum incident had made Willow quite " famous " among the freshmen . To mend her reputation , she cleverly arranged for ten roasted lambs to be brought up the mountain for everyone to enjoy . Willow's ability to fake a medical report showed she had connections with the school authorities .
The officer , tempted by the delicious lamb , chose to ignore it That evening , everyone gathered to feast on the lamb , except for Stella and Eliana Stella was tempted but followed Eliana's advice to apply ointment and avoid spicy food . Eliana sat nearby , eating her own simple meal Stella joined her and whispered . " She must be trying to cause me trouble , serving roasted lambs when I have an allergy . " Eliana . I got the ointment you mentioned . After two days , the redness is fading .
It's effective and cheap . How did you know about it ? " Oh , I have some jelly . Do you want some ! Stella chatted away , sitting next to Eliana , who mostly ignored her , Stella initially thought Eliana was just pretending to be aloof , but over time , she realized Eliana simply didn't talk much , though Eliana was kind . Since only Eliana and Stella didn't cat Willow's lamb , the next day , people gossiped about Stella behind her back .
" She looks so weird with that scary face , " someone mocked . " Yeah , I hope it's not contagious . I don't want to hang out with her . A student sneered . " She can only hang out with Eliana , who's also a weirdo. They deserve each other . Anyway , Stella's face is ruined , another chimed in . Willow despised Stella the most but didn't want Eliana to have any friends . She wanted Ellana to be completely isolated .
A few days later , Willow brought some high - end skincare products to Stella , trying to win her over again . " Stella , these skincare products are great for your face . They'll help with your rash . Stella was applying ointment when she saw what Willow brought . She was furious , " Willow Garcia , what do you take me for ? Your servant or something ? If you don't want these , throw them in the trash . Do I look like your garbage disposal ? " she said .

Willow was taken aback and felt a surge of anger , but with others in the tent , she had to bold it in . " Stella , you've got it wrong . I haven't used these products . Just look at what you're using - it's so cheap . The ones I'm offering you are luxury skincare items worth over 7000 dollars ! " Willow stressed the price to show off her " kindness and generosity ." People around turned to look at them Stella rolled her eyes as Willow's remark about her ointment . " Are you out of your mind ?
My ointment is way better than your junk . Take your stuff and get lost . " Willow tried to keep her cool . " Stella , maybe there's a misunderstanding " Stella responded , " There's no misunderstanding at all . I just don't want to be around someone like you " loquially , Stella had been misled by Willow into thinking Eliana was a malicious impostor But after spending a week with Eliana , she realized Eliana was genuinely nice , far better than Willow , who was a vicious snake .
Just then , Eliana walked by with her hat . Stella quickly ran after her , looking like a fangirl . " Eliana , wait for me . Let's go together . " I was clear Stella had completely warmed up to Eliana . 1/2 Willow stood there with her skincare products , looking grim . " That makes sense . They are just two pathetic bitches , Willow thought . ofa It seemed pointless to waste time on Stella , who wouldn't achieve anything significant and wouldn't be help to her .
Stella would only end up as a drama teacher at Isonstead University after graduation , Willow was focused on connecting with people who would achieve great things and could help her career . Building a network was crucial for her future success . Stella and Eliana left the tent together . Stella started chatting away , " Who does Willow think she is ? She must have some dirty tricks . My face just started to heal , and using her skincare products might mess it up again .
" Eliana glanced at her . Your face does look much better ." Stella's eyes brightened . " Really ? Do you think so ? I thought I was just imagining it . Thanks a lot , Eliana " They walked to the gathering point together . Soon , the whole group had assembled . The head officer announced that the training session was almost over , and it was time to form teams for a night hike with backpacks . The top ten tearns to finish would receive special awards from the school .
Everyone groaned at the news , but the officer's stern look quickly silenced them . Team could be formed freely , with the remaining individuals assigned by the officer . The top ten teams would win a 15 - thousand - dollar school reward and single dorm rooms , which was a big incentive .
Not everyone could easily come up with 15 thousand dollars , and single dorm rooms were even more enticing At Isonstead University , living in a single dorm room meant one was either rich or well - connected , offering a significant networking boost . When it was time to form teams , everyone looked at Eliana , known as the strongest in the class . But since they had previously isolated her . approaching her now felt awkward . Stella stepped up to Eliana . " Eliana , let's team up !
" Eliana nodded . " Okay " With two spots left in their four - person team , the other girls hesitated briefly before rushing to invite Eliana to team up , From a distance , Willow watched them with disdain . She rolled her eyes at their cagemess . All that fuss over 15 thousand dollars ! Serious bunch of hobos !' she thought . As for the single dorm room , Willow had already secured one through connections . She didn't need it but saw it as a way to expand her network .
She didn't care about making the top ten at all . But Eliana , having left the Garcia family , probably needed the 15 thousand dollars .
