บท 1867: Jealous?

To make our exit less conspicuous, Eguchi-sensei eventually let go of my wrist. She also walked a step ahead of me to give the illusion that I was being asked to follow rather than getting dragged by her.

Of course, those who saw us leaving were momentarily confused. In this open space, having witnesses was inevitable.

I even saw Hino curling his brows as he attempted to make sense of my situation. If not for Fukuda next to him, he might've run to me and asked if I needed help.

Yeah. That guy could be as meddlesome as Sakuma. Good thing there was Fukuda to hold him back. He’s proving his usefulness in that way.

Apart from Hino’s reaction, no one else stepped up to question Eguchi-sensei or me. They just pointed at me. They were either gloating, laughing, or wondering. But there’s one thing that probably settled on their heads; I got myself in trouble.

Sometimes, I envy their oblivious minds. I wouldn’t have it otherwise though.
