Please Look At Me!
Chapter 2's
Her name is Erina, a student of class VIII Junior High. He is not so prominent in his class, even his charm is covered by the charm of other students in his class. He is also not so smart considering his rank is ranked sixteen in his class. But that's enough considering the class is the superior class in its class, which is always overhauled every time the final value announcement comes out.
Only thirty-two students with the highest rank in his class were allowed to enter his class. So he was not so discouraged by the value he obtained.
There were many students who came from the same school as him when he was in elementary school, but no one was so familiar with him. Among them were two people who used to be his classmate. Both of them were male disciples so were not very familiar with him.
The two disciples were notoriously handsome and famous until there were their upperclassmen and upperclassmen who teased the two blatantly. But there was nothing like that in their class.
Unlike the case with Alan who became the center of attention and became a topic of conversation among students in his class. He who has only been known since yesterday actually became the person who gets the most attention in the classroom today.
Not a few female students who like to tease him and say they want to date him. That honestly made Erina quite envious because she also wanted to make a lot of friends, but the difficulty because it was easily awkward when interacting with people around her.
Let's say he was a coward, but his sense of iron made the seeds of hatred embedded in his heart that he directed to Alan, even more fertile. He hated the man day by day. Unfortunately, he actually sat down with the person he hated the most in the class at this time.
"Erina, dating, yuk!" seductive Gideon with his rancid gaze towards the girl while poking the girl's arm many times.
He knew that the man was just joking, but still his heart was pounding because of the man. He knew and realized he should not have more feelings because it was all just a joke in the eyes of the man. But his heart was hard to work with.
"Erina," called Gideon in a rancid tone while poking the girl's left arm.
After being satisfied with the joke, Gideon went to chat with his other friends while laughing. The heart belonging to the girl who previously kept pounding back beat normally just like before. He was a little disappointed because it was only used as a joke by the man.
He stared at Gideon in silence. He knew enough himself that he would never be worthy of being compared to that man.
When the girl turned her gaze away from Gideon's shoulder that had moved away from her, her eyes met Alan who was looking at her with a mocking expression at this time. He was really upset because he was often caught staring at Gideon by the man.
Quickly and a little harshly, he decided on his second stare and turned to his textbook. The girl began drawing on the last page of her book. The picture is not very good, but it is the best in its class so far.
***
Most of the students in his class were crowding Alan at this time to just invite the man to chat together. But none of them were interested in getting Erina to chat with them. They were just curious about Alan, not about the girl.
He just stayed in his place while putting his head on the table. He stared at Alan occasionally.
He was really envious of that man. Alan was only silent but people came closer towards him. Even the man was not so smart and also he was not the most handsome in the class. But he seemed to have a very strong magnet and able to attract the attention of everyone.
His eyes meet again. He's back upset. He turned his head back to Alan. He did not like to look at the man. The man who always made her feel envious.
***
"Today I'm the same Alan" Maudy said in a coquettish tone while teasing Alan.
The man did not reply to Maudy's words because he knew very well that it was just a joke. He just laughed a little while shaking his head.
Her gaze turned to Erina who was currently on her back and her other classmates. The girl was always alone. He really had no friends in class.
The two were also not familiar enough even though they were my countrymen. There was a great and high wall created between the two involuntarily and made there was only awkwardness if the two interacted like when the man asked for permission to sit on the bench that was right in next to the girl.
Of course it is not fun to linger with people who always make the atmosphere feel awkward. This is why both are so minimal in interaction. They had no intention of becoming more familiar with each other.
Ding...Dong...Ding....
The bell has rung. The lesson hours will begin soon. The students who had been huddling around Alan returned to their seats, leaving the man and Erina sitting on their backs.
Slowly but still audibly, a smooth snoring sound was coming out of Erina's respiratory tract. The man held back his laughter as he glanced at the girl and found her writhing because she was uncomfortable. He had no intention of waking up the girl even though the lesson hours had begun.
A thick man, slightly bald and wearing thick glasses, entered their classroom carrying his teaching equipment. His bent face gave such a fierce impression that no one dared to make a sound when the teacher entered the classroom.
He continued to walk until the seat reserved for the teacher in front of the class. The teaching process begins as usual.
***
The girl had not yet woken up from her sleep. No one woke up the girl, including Alan, his best friend.
The man sitting behind Alan, Gideon, could not bear to see the girl in trouble if left for much longer. Slowly he moved his hand to pat the girl on the back, unfortunately not until. He kicked little Alan bench.
"Pst. psstt.. wakein Erina," she whispered.
Alan didn't want to care so much about the girl. He ignored what Gideon was doing. He also didn't really care if the girl got into trouble later.
Bruckkh....
Gideon kicked Alan's stool even harder as the man did not hear him who had since asked to wake Erina who was sitting right next to him. Alan's body was jolted by Gideon.
"What's that?" ask the thick man who was teaching at the time.
He narrowed his eyes and looked sharply at Gideon and Alan. He was just about to reprimand the two, but his attention was diverted to Erina who was asleep.
"That's who else is sleeping in the back?? It's delicious huh! I'm tired of telling her she's sleeping."
Deo who was beside Gideon stood up, slightly advancing his body to wake Erina who was still fast asleep. Alan simply remained silent in his place while staring at Erina, just like everyone else in the class at the moment.
It didn't take long to wake the girl. When he woke up, he was surprised because he suddenly became the center of attention. Even more surprised because there was already a teacher standing in front of the class at this time and was staring at him with anger.
"Good morning, Princess!" the teacher said with wide eyes like he wanted to eat the girl alive.
"Good as you!! Good to sleep during my lesson!! The insolent!! Out you!!" snarl that teacher.
Not wanting to prolong the problem, the girl complied to get out of the classroom. At first glance he could see Gideon staring at Alan with an annoyed face.
