Please Look At Me!
Chapter 7's

Erina looked towards Gideon who had just broken her pen. The broken voice was heard so clearly that everyone inside the class was currently glancing towards the man, not just him. Alan who had just given him a shocking question was no exception. All stared in surprise and curiosity at the man who might not even be aware that he was being stared at by everyone in the class at the moment.

The man's gaze was very surprised and only fell silent so surprised. It made some people feel that it was funny to assume the man himself was surprised by what he had just done. They held back his laughter especially as Deo continued to nudge the man to restore the man's consciousness from his shock.

"L-yes," said the man answering the teacher's call just now, after he was completely awakened from his shock.

"You're messing around when I teach, huh?" ask the teacher who is standing in front of the blackboard at this time.

"No, ma'am."

"Get out!"

Erina was horrified by what she had just heard. Doesn't the teacher currently teaching in their classroom sound so fierce? It seemed that he was not the only one who was horrified by what had happened with Gideon just now, the others did not want to mess around with the teacher who was still standing in front of the classroom and gave a sharp look towards Gideon at the moment.

No objection came out of the man's mouth. He stood up from his seat and walked outside the classroom. He complied voluntarily with the teacher's order just now. Everyone's gaze was still directed at the man until he was completely out of the classroom and out of sight.

PAKKKC... PAKK..... PAKK....

The teacher's punch at the teacher's desk in front of the class distracted the students in the classroom and stopped staring at Gideon who had just disappeared behind the classroom door. The class grew increasingly tense after the man was expelled from the classroom just now. No one wanted to be the same fate as that man.

"If anyone still wants to mess around in class when I'm still teaching. You better just get out! I would rather teach a few students but listen and really want to learn than many students but don't want to learn at all."

After saying so, the middle-aged woman resumed writing on the blackboard. He explained what he wrote when he finished. The atmosphere in the classroom was really tense and only the sound of the teacher was heard throughout the lesson. No one wanted to ask when the teacher gave him a chance. Everyone was too afraid to speak even to the teacher.

"You don't like me."

Erina looked at Alan who was cleaning up his stationery when the lesson was over. He stared in disbelief at the man who was still firm with his one-sided conclusion earlier. He was gaping, speechless after hearing what the man said.

Alan stared intently at Erina who was struggling with words at the moment and stared in disbelief at her. He was very confident in the conclusion he made. Moreover, not only one or two times he caught the girl staring at him. Although Erina instantly shifted her gaze in the other direction once their gaze met.

"Because I'll never like a girl like you. You should be self-aware," he said haughtily while giving a look of disdain towards the man.

BUGH....

"Awh...."

The attention of the students who were still in the classroom was currently on Alan who was holding his right calf after screaming in pain. Erina had just kicked that right leg shin with all her might with a wrathful expression. The girl's face even turned red with anger piling up in her mind at this moment.

"Who do you like, who is trying it?! Don't be too psyched! You're not that good until you make me like you. Cough!" Erina said as she pointed towards Alan in annoyance.

The students who had wanted to go to the cafeteria were not so after seeing the commotion that had just happened. They walked up to Alan and asked about what had just happened to the man. But the man did not answer any of their questions. He walked away from the crowd as soon as his feet felt better. Honestly, he never thought that the girl's kick would hurt that much.

A cynical smile rose on his face. He still believes in his unilateral conclusion. But, he had no intention of giving the girl any chance at all. He wanted the girl to pay for what he had just done to her.

"Where are you from?" deo asked while embracing the shoulder of Gideon who had just entered the classroom.

"From the cafeteria, where else would you try?"

"You missed the soap opera."

"Huh?"

Gideon stared in wonder at Deo who was in a very excited moment. He did not understand what the man had just said. Moreover, he was not interested in soap operas at all.

"Do you like Erina? Honestly," said Deo.

"What the hell?!"

The man immediately put away Deo's arm that was still embracing his familiar shoulder at this time. He knew that what the man said was true. But he still doesn't want to admit it.

"Just be honest. By the way is Erina the same as Alan?"

That question immediately caught the attention of Gideon who had just walked away from Deo at this moment. He immediately turned towards the man as soon as he heard the name Erina and Alan mentioned by Deo. He looked in wonder at Deo who was currently smiling broadly at him.

"There must be something between them, right?" deo said following Gideon who stopped stepping after hearing the name Erina and Alan he called.

"Huh?"

"So they fought in class when you didn't exist."

"How much?" ask Gideon curiously.

"I don't know how it started either. Erina kicked Alan's right leg until the man shouted. After that Erina was angry while saying that she did not like Alan," explained Deo.

Without realizing it, a smile rose on his face. Gideon smiles after hearing Erina's strong rebuttal to Alan's statement saying that the girl likes him. Gideon might not have been aware, but Deo who was talking to him at this moment realized that clearly.
