Amy's POV"
I braced myself before entering the class, he was already there sitting like he freaking own this place.
I wanted to smile but he was looking right at me, so I drop the idea of smiling.
Sigh~~
Just don't talk to him, don't look at him, and don't smile at him. Simple!
All the way to the classroom I kept reminding myself. I wanted to live a simple and peaceful life but he just came and jiggle my rhythm of life.
I tried my best not to look at him directly. Today he wore chocolate brown jeans same color as his hair and eyes.
Wow~~ shut up Amy. I scolded myself.
I sat on my chair ignoring him but still feeling his gaze at me. Should I greet him? A little 'Hey' won't hurt right!?
"Will you stop looking at me?" I murmur.
"Will you start looking at me then?" He whispered and I pretend like I didn't hear that.
Class began, I was distracted because of what he just said. I steal a glance at him and he looked kinda annoyed.
Today we read about another tragic play of Shakespeare. I've already read Othello before so I can afford to pay less attention today.
At the end of the class we get our yesterday's quiz test back already marked.
I've got 92. Oh yeah~~
I tried to peek at his test paper just out of curiosity but he hide the marking area by placing his hand over it.
Choco nuts!
He didn't just placed his hand... He basically slapped it loudly startling the guy who sat on his right side.
.
.
I was the first one to left the class, well that was a wrong choice because now he's following me, closely. Shoot!
Maybe I should stop and let him pass by..
I stopped, he stopped... Even the people behind him also stopped. Bloody hell!
I start walking again, unwillingly.
Yesterday I got kicked out of my second class because of a damn skirt so maybe today I should act rebellious...or something.
Skipping class is not a good thing but it's not that bad either. Especially when you are an excellent student. But how can I skip a freaking test!
Whatever! I'll do what my heart told me to do, which is telling me to ditch the class and run away from the guy behind me.
I spin on my foot to go back to some other place... far from here ... far from him.
GAG!
I was about to take my third step when someone pulled me back by my damn scarf almost choking me.
"Class is not that way!" I heard a fimiliar voice... his voice to be exact.
"Don't you dare touch me.!" I warned him when he kept pulling me towards him.
"I won't!" He said flatly making me stop on my track.
I finally looked at him, he looked serious for once. His chocolate brown eyes looked too dark, almost black. Is it because of the sun or his clothes?
I can't help but smiled at our awkward state. He was still holding the one side of my scarf tightly, I was holding it on my neck so that it won't choked me to death.. or something.
What's with every one! Why's everyone grabbed me by my scarf? Should I stop wearing it?
Nahh... I can't do that.
Something in his eyes changed after seeing me smiling. He just rolled his eyes before looking back to me. His facial expressions softened a bit, but he still looked annoyed.
"Let me go.." I said softly with a complimentary smile. As soon as he let go the scarf I'm gonna run for nearest woods and continue my peaceful life once again in a new way. Hehe!
"No!"
"..." I just blinked. Woah I didn't expect that. A fell flat refusal! Wonderful!
I bowed down in defeat and started walking again.
Sigh~~
He's still holding up my scarf from the end while walking behind me.
What a peculiar sight!
Now he bloody looked like a guy who took out his pet for a morning walk. Oh gawd I wanted to melt down like an ice cream.
Everyone was watching us, some were laughing out loudly. Please don't click pictures... I pulled up my scarf to hide my face a little.
As we enter in the classroom he finally let go. My face felt so hot, it was hella embarrassing out there, I just looked down on my shoes and go to my seat.
We have another quiz test today. But teacher informed us that it's an oral quiz test. I saw many mouth fell open and many jaws drop to the floor. Haha what a sight!
Strangely the guy beside me only looked... bored? He just glanced at the teacher and then looked around to see others' reactions. He was watching them earnestly as if he was afraid he would miss some of the pale faces.
'Ha! Such a child!' I thought to myself and shook my head slowly.
He turns to look at me like he heard that. Did he? I hope not.
.
Then test began, half of the class gave wrong answers and got kicked out of class to stand in corridor. On one side I saw many flushed faces of girls out of embarrassment and on the other side boys were trying their best at holding back laughs in their throat.
Between everything only one student was enjoying every thing with an mischief grin on his face. I swear his eyes were sparkling by watching the whole scene.
Then comes my turn. I answered each and every question confidently, with a respectful attitude, even though I suffer humiliation a day before in this same class.
From the corner of my eye I saw half of the class was peeking inside through door and windows, dying out of curiosity about what will happen between Sir and me because today I'm still not wearing proper uniform.
If he wants to kick me out again then be my guest. I'll just go outside and join others.
"Well done, you may sit down." Sir said causing a great shock to everyone, including me. Because he's one of the most strict teachers in the whole college. He's one of those teachers to whom students feared inside the classroom and tried not to met them outside the classroom.
I was still looking at him. Did I misheard that? Was that a compliment? Is he okay?
I tilted my head a little while looking at him.
"Sit down Amy!" He growled at me. Yeah he's okay..
"Yes sir. thank you!"
I glanced up and found that the guy beside me was giving me a thumbs up. I smiled widely at that.
Well it's a good thing I didn't rebel and ditched this class.
Sir was now asking questions to him and he answered to them proudly, making everyone shocked. Even teacher didn't expect that from him.
I was surprised too but for different reason. How did he prepare his test questions, he wasn't present in the class when we learned about Anglo-Saxon period...
His answers were short and calculated as if he noted them down precisely and accurately.
Anyhow I was happy for him. He too sat down and I mimicked his action from earlier and gave him two thumbs up. He just sway left and right in his chair while smiling from ear to ear.
He then lift his hand up.. did he wanted a high five?now? Yeah high five is cool after all both of us was the first ones to stay in the class.
So without considering the matter any further, I slapped his hand.
THAAKK!!
Our palms met, and create a loud sound. Everyone exclaimed at the sound.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!"
He shrieked like a freaking opera singer making everyone startled. All of this because I forgot to control my power in excitement and hit his hand too hard. My own palm sting a bit, I can't measure his pain though.
My eyes widened in shock. He was giving me an accusing glare.
"Why in the hell you did that? You impossible brat!" He shouted at me without giving a damn about the people around us.
"Well you wanted a high five.." I replied equally loud.
"No I didn't!!!" He stood up yelling.
"Liar!! You raised your hand first..." I mimicked his action.
"... because I wanted to go to the restroom!" He was glaring at me.
"..."
I was speechless for a good minute. Everyone - who saw or heard - was laughing hard almost rolling on the floor.
"Well now that your shouting and bickering comes to an end, why don't both of you go to the nurse room to get your hands treated first.." Sir was saying while looking at us equally.
I looked at his hand which was now turning red. He too looked at my hand but I hide it behind my back because I didn't feel any pain, just a burning sensation. I looked down feeling embarrassed, someone might have stepped on my left shoe making it muddy.
"Let's go!" He murmured.
"..."
"..I said let's go! you mighty brat!!" He shouted in his signature high pitched voice, making my eardrum ring.
Everyone was laughing, even the teacher tried to hide his smile. We create a hell of a scene..!
I just want my simple and peaceful life back....

Bonus scene:
Kim:
It was good to see my eldest brother finally taking study seriously. Actually it was fun watching him trying his best... I spent a solid hour watching him memorizing everything Arm said.
But as for me.... I'm more curious about the motivation behind this great effort.
.
.
.
I knew his schedule of classes. His test will be in second class of history. As soon as his first class ended I starts following him.
I can see Arm and Pol a few meters back from him. They know how to give a student some personal space, haha. I chuckle lightly.
He seems to be in a hurry, why?
I narrowed my eyes.
Oh I'll be damned!
'Was he following a..... GIRL!!!'
