Please Look At Me!
Chapter 16's
Erina stared at her classmates who preferred to spend their pocket money by buying food sold behind the school fence clandestinely rather than going to the school cafeteria. They seemed satisfied with what they got outside the school gates.
Some of his classmates bought a pack of instant noodles which they then opened and slightly destroyed the inside. After that they opened the instant noodle seasoning and mixed it with the noodles they had destroyed earlier. The girl was a little surprised to see her friends eating the noodles raw.
Although he used to go to public elementary school when he was in elementary school, but he rarely saw anyone eating instant noodles like that. Especially at his school before (before moving) he had never seen any student at that school who ate instant noodles in such a way. They used to buy the cooked ones first.
It felt strange to him, but he did not voice his thoughts at all.
“Why did you move here? There is better than here,” asked one of his classmates who were curious while chewing instant noodles.
The girl assented in her heart. His previous school was certainly much better, especially in terms of school equipment.
“This school is much closer than my house than my previous school,” he said lie.
His classmates just rounded his mouth and nodded to listen to his contrived reasoning.

Ding... Dong... Ding...
The bell has rung, indicating that the break is over. Despite this, the disciples were still reluctant to return to their respective seats. They are still busy doing their activities as before, except going to the cafeteria. The students who had gone to the cafeteria to fill their empty stomach had already returned to the classroom.
Not long after, a female teacher entered the classroom. The woman had wavy hair, wore glasses, and carried her absence book along with a package of materials that she would teach.
“One!” aba-aba the class leader.
All the students in the class started to stand up.
“Two!”
Erina last greeted him with such a tone when he was still in elementary school. In his previous school, the students always gave greetings as if speaking as usual. The tone is not too long and not too short. It's not like singing in a long tone like just now.
Too many objects made him continue to compare the two schools unconsciously. That makes him even more unable to accept his current move that seems forced. Although he knew that both his parents thought the best for him so he moved him to this school.
“Three!”
The students sat back as before, waiting for the lesson to begin.
The teacher sat in his place and opened his absence. He began to pass on one by one the students in the class. Erina also knew that her name was certainly not in the absence made by the teacher specifically for her subjects. His name was just recorded in absent class this morning.
“Bu! There is a new student,” said one of his classmates.
“The name has not been taken earlier.”
He was grateful to his classmates who had just spoken before being asked when the teacher had finished passing on the names of the students in his absence book.
“Have class been raised but there are still new students? Just-there!” said the teacher.
Erina gawked at what the teacher had just said. He did not expect to get this bad treatment on his first day of admission to this school.
The teacher started the lesson without asking about Erina's name. He seemed uninterested in writing the girl's name in his absence book. It obviously made the girl feel offended and hurt.
His classmates chose to be quiet. Moreover, the teacher's mood did not seem so good, his tone did not sound friendly at all. He was probably one of the teachers that the students feared in this class.
The girl did not dare to protest. He didn't want to do much on his first day of school. He kept the pain without talking about it at all. He only judged that the teacher in front of him was currently an unprofessional teacher at all in educating his students.
It is not his fault to have to move at the beginning of an even semester. It's not even exam time and it's still early in the semester. In fact, he did not even move in the third grade who had to think about the matter of exams and graduation. He was completely inexhaustible with what the teacher had just said upon his presence in the classroom at this time.
