章節 2: Chapter 2:
"What did you just call me?! You--!" The boy in front of me is in shock. It was as if it was the first time that he was called like that. It was amusing how his mouth repeatedly opened and closed.
"Forget it. I'm not talking about you." I wanted to remedy the situation but after hearing my words, unexpectedly, his expression turned uglier than before.
"Pffft--" I couldn't totally hold back my laughter. It was too funny.
"You dared to laugh at me?"
"Oh, sorry."
Seeing the frosty expression and the seriousness in the tip of his brows, I pressed my lips tightly and look outside the window again. I thought that he would leave me alone just like that but instead he slammed his hand on my desk.
Bam!
My table shook violently because of force. It was too sudden that I didn't even have time to flinch. The atmosphere that was initially noisy became motionless all of the sudden. It was his so called-friends who first reacted.
"What the heck, Eugene! What are you doing?!"
"Why are you suddenly being like this?!"
They approached him closer while the girl beside me asked me in a worried tone. "Are you okay?"
"Just take him away." I simply replied. But it looks like the other one doesn't want to end this matter lightly.
"Huh, what's wrong with you?!" He leaned down on me, placing both of his hands on the table. As if my lack of reaction infuriated him even more.
"Excuse me, I should be the one asking: Until now, what the hell is your problem?" I retorted back.
"You didn't know? When you were looking down on me just now!"
I sneered. Who is looking down on whom? Isn't he the one?
"How dare you take me lightly? How dare you not take me seriously as if I'm nothing? Stop acting high and mighty!"
I was taken aback for a moment but I didn't show it in my face. "You came to me first. Acting and making a fuss like a spoiled child. And even resorting to violence. Now, you want me to stoop down on your level?"
I was starting to get annoyed too. Why am I dealing with this crap? I raised my leg and brusquely kicked the table in front of me out of irritation. He groaned as he was pushed back and it hit his lower abdomen. I then remembered it's not good for me to be irritable.
"Leave my sight or I'll kick you out. You choose."
"Why?! You--!"
"I think I said remove your stupid friend from my sight. Are you all deaf?" I looked at those people who once gathered around me, particularly to the class leader. He nodded at me before yanking Eugene's back collar.
"Who do you think you are? You think you're better than anyone here that you can just boss them around!"
"Shut up, Eugene."
"I'm sorry!" I tilted my head to the side when I heard that high-pitched voice. With her head bent down, dark red hair cascaded beautifully.
"I'm sorry. My friend is just competitive. If he offended you, I'd apologize in his stead." There is a pressure in her eyes or something like desperation that I needed to accept it. Better crush her expectation then. I gave her a quick glance and didn't pay any more attention.
"Woah, did she just ignore Belle?"
"Yup, damnit. But she looks so cool."
"She's too much."
Hearing that, I chuckled. With a mocking tone, I asked her "Who the hell are you?"
"Sorry?"
"I asked, who the hell are you?"
"Umm, my name is Bell--"
"Since it looks like you're used in doing something like this, are you his nanny or something who cleans his mess in whatever he does?"
Seeing her crumbled expression, I continued. "If you're not, then don't apologize to me. Who do you think you are? You think your apology is enough? Or maybe you think your apology can change anything? If you think that much, then you think highly of yourself."
I said slowly, emphasizing every word I said. Tears welled up in her red-brown eyes but I still opened my mouth. "So you better stop. Just because I didn't accept your apology, you're making me the bad person here. You don't need to apologize for anyone. Especially for someone who let's others clean his shit." I then directed my line of sight to the shittiest person I've met today. He looked furious.
"Hey, she has nothing to do with this. Leave her out!"
The girl seemed to recover from her trance. Holding his sleeves, she glanced at me before dragging her friend. "Stop it, Eugene. Let's go."
But why does the look she gave me seems weird?! I sighed, they are finally leaving. Even so, the stares didn't let me go in peace for the rest of the class. Especially from a certain group. At the end of the day, I can hear a certain person shouting at me in the hallway.
"Just wait! I'm going to crush you along with your arrogance!"
The students gave me an odd look. I can't believe some people are still discussing about it. I even heard about it spreading throughout the whole year. They call it as a legendary fight during the first day of school. They take joy gossiping on how I am going to be miserable in the future. Since that group seemed influential, it looks like there's gonna be some trouble. This is too much for being low-key. Anyway, I just need to stay away from that group.
"Dani, Dani, wake up,"
"Dani... Hey!"
What the hell? Why is the same voice threatening me suddenly waking me up? I can even feel someone holding my hand. Very slowly, I opened my eyes...
