The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

Chapter 48 - Ch. 48 Not As Innocent As She Looks



Along the campus corridor where the students were chatting cheerfully and enthusiastically, a child walked like a turtle with a zombie-like eye expression.

That kid was none other than Nicholas Larson, aka Kaylee in disguise. Her heart still hurt when her idol gave her an earful scolding, and he looked at her as if she was an annoyance.

Jacob happened to have picked up a book in his locker cupboard next to Kaylee, so he recognized the back of his best friend, who was walking past him.

The young man immediately approached Kaylee and put his hand on his friend's shoulder as he always did.

"Hey, Nick. Come with me later… woahh…" Jacob immediately pulled his hand and jumped away when he saw the black dots in his best friend's eyes.

He even swore on his dead cat that he could see a black halo-like surround Kaylee's head.

Is this story's genre shifted into a horror one?

"Nick? Are you okay? Why did you suddenly become like a zombie?"

Kaylee scrunched her nose while frowning at her best friend's question. She always did it every time someone made her annoyed. Then she turned and banged her head against the locker cabinet.

"I'm dead. I'm totally dead. Don't mind me because I'm already dead."

"What? What are you talking about? Is some girl rejected your love confession or what? Why didn't you tell me if you were chasing a girl? I can help you. I'm a love expert, you know."

Kaylee scoffed at her friend's remark. "Not that one. It's worse."

"Aiya, I can't read your mind. Tell me what happened?"

"Mister Black hates me now."

Jacob frowned and spoke in a grim tone. "What? You better start to be careful because your college life won't be peaceful after this."

"Ah?"

"Mister Black will convince your professors to give you low marks, and you will not graduate from this campus on time."

"Impossible."

"Also, maybe after this, you won't be allowed into the classroom for no apparent reason."

"Noooo…" Kaylee became speechless and broke out in cold sweat.

No way, no way. Declan couldn't possibly do that. The man might have been angry that she hadn't done what he told her for an entire hour. But… that man couldn't possibly destroy her future... er... his student's future so much, right? Right?

Kaylee wouldn't care if she couldn't graduate from this campus because she already has her own graduation certificate. But what about Nick? His name will be tarnished, and his parents will feel ashamed.

She can't let that happen. Kaylee had to figure out how to get Declan to forgive her and not push her inhumanely.

Kaylee was too lost in her thoughts without realizing that Jacob clenched his mouth to prevent the sound of laughter from escaping. But it feels really hard to keep his laughter when he saw his friend's face, who looks serious thinking about his words.

"Pft!"

Kaylee had heard a choked laugh that escaped Jacob's mouth and glanced at the young man with a suspicious look. Then…

"Hahahaha, you should see your face. You actually believe that?"

Kaylee blinked a few times, and then she opened the locker door to put her notebook inside and closed it with a loud 'bam' sound.

After that, Kaylee walked out of the door without paying attention to Jacob, who was still laughing at him.

This boy! He did too much! The young man almost made her hate Declan and think the worst was going to happen. But it turned out what Jacob had said was just a bad joke. A nasty one!

This was the first time she'd been annoyed with Jacob. Usually, she found Jacob's jokes funny and laughed with him. But this time, the boy's joke simply couldn't make her laugh.

The young man scared her, and she foolishly believed everything that the young man said.

"Nick, hey, Nick. You're mad?"

"…" Kaylee still ignored him and continued walking towards the campus gate.

"Nick, I'm just kidding. You don't need to be oversensitive. You're not like this on normal days."

"…"

Feeling uncomfortable being ignored by Kaylee, Jacob grabbed his friend's shoulder and was very surprised at what he saw. Nick's black eyes looked teary, making him unable to speak.

Why did Jacob feel his heart ached, like something sharp stabbed his heart when he saw those glistening eyes. And again, why did he feel like wiping his best friend's tears?

Nick was a young man, and this kid could take care of himself, but why his protective instinct told him to protect this kid?

In fact, not only Jacob but Adam and other boys who started to get close to 'Nick' felt the same way. Without them knowing, their protective instinct kicked in. That's why Adam and others did not accept when someone bothered 'Nick' and Jacob felt guilty and full of remorse for spitting cross-limit jokes.

Kaylee didn't know what Jacob wanted with her. Seeing that the young man had no intention of speaking, Kaylee jerked her hand away and walked quickly towards the bus stop.

Meanwhile, Jacob just stood there looking at Nick's back with a confused heart. He ruffled his hair with one hand while blaming himself.

"What a dumbass, Jake."

Kaylee got on the bus and sat in the back. Fortunately, the bus was not too hectic so that she could peel off the extra skin and wig freely.

She also took off her jacket and replaced it with a baby pink woman pea coat. After placing the extra skin and hair wig inside her backpack, Kaylee already transformed to Kaylee.

As soon as she arrived at the bus stop in her studio area, Kaylee got off and walked towards the studio. The moment she entered the lobby of her studio building, someone who had worked there for a long time greeted her with a shy smile.

"Miss Roe..."

"Hi, how are you?"

"I'm great, miss. This is for you." the person gave a gift containing a lunch box to her.

Kaylee felt uncomfortable because this person often gave her something almost every time this person came to work. Sometimes giving her flowers, or a white shirt with her face is a photo in front of the shirt. Now this person is giving her food?

Well, Kaylee couldn't refuse this guy's offering either. Isn't it rude to reject someone who goes to great lengths to make something with a sincere heart?

Hence, Kaylee accepted them with no arrogance and treated this person very well.

Fortunately, this guy's work schedule was only Wednesdays and Saturdays, so Kaylee did not have to see this person every day.

"Thank you. Have a great day." Kaylee got into the elevator and pressed button five to go to her private workroom.

She opened the parcel to peek at the food contents, which turned out to be sushi!

Instantly she felt saliva gathering on the corners of her mouth and couldn't wait to savor this sushi.

But… how did that person know her favorite food was sushi?

Ting!

Kaylee closed the lunchbox back and headed to her dressing room, where her make-up artist Lydia was waiting for her.

"Hi, Lydia. Did you wait long?"

"Well, I just arrived five minutes ago. Why do you suddenly need my help?"

"I was going to meet a young man, but he annoyed me to the bone. It looks like I no longer need to dress up."

"Ho? Is this a date? But, don't you have an appointment with your client?"

"I have. Therefore I will meet with this young man before discussing with my client." Kaylee answered as she started to take off her coat.

Then she went into the bathroom to wash her face and shower for a while. She also showered her hair, which was already sweating because it had to be covered inside the wig.

While drying her hair with the hairdryer, Lydia informed her that there was a high-society association downtown. And she heard something interesting that she couldn't help telling Kaylee.

"I heard they are expecting your presence."

"Me? I didn't know they were interested in musicians."

"Duh. Not Roe, but Kaylee Zouch."

Kaylee frowned while blinking because she didn't understand why someone wanted to meet Kaylee Zouch?

"Why? Apart from being my father's daughter, I have no other influences. Is it possible that someone wants to use my connections to approach my father?"

This wasn't the first time someone has tried to approach Kaylee just to meet her father. Therefore Kaylee preferred people to think that she never leaves the house and lived in her parents' house.

She has rarely shown her face in purposed. She never even showed her face as Kaylee Zouch in public media. Her life was very private, and no one knows what Kaylee Zouch looks like other than her old school friends or her employee in this building.

Even though her friends know, they would not reveal it on social media either. Kaylee knew her friends would not wanting to see a nerdy, old-fashioned girl like Kaylee was becoming more famous than them.

That's why Kaylee deliberately dressed old-fashioned and aloof in her school days.

Isn't Kaylee innocent? Yes, she is. But in some situations, she is not as innocent as she looks.
