Audrey POV
“That fool?” I, half yelled. She nodded slowly, taking her eyes away from me.
I huffed.
“Seriously, Kwan? It was not my intention to be rude now, But of all guys in the class, why that dimwit?” I questioned, not hiding how irritated I was now.
Yes.
Furthermore, I didn't care for guys, but the hatred I had for this guy in question was extreme.
“I've always liked him since we were in grade nine” She replied in a cracked voice and my eyes bulged again. I hope they didn't fall out soon.
“Grade nine?”
“But Seo Yun never noticed me…”
The school bell interrupted us.” It's break over, Audrey” We both stood up, dusting our skirt with our hands.
“Seo Yun and Jin had a relationship when we were in Grade Ten” Kwan continues as we walk through the hallway like other students, heading to our class. “How sure are you?” I glanced at her and asked. “Well, I'm not very sure because I have no proof, but I really wish to have one, so all these bully would stop” She said somberly, and I stopped walking. “Either you get a proof or not, promise me you won't ever let them use that nonsense shit against you again” I snarled.
“I won't” She offered a soft smile and which I returned. “Now let's hurry to class” I said, and we hastened our steps.
After a brief moment, the art teacher walked into the class and the whole class greeted in chorus.
But we do not have his class today at all. I thought, checking through the timetable for confirmation.
Yes. It was tomorrow we're having him next, but why is here this noon?
I just hope it was not about the assignment.
“I have good news for you all” He started, and the class went to silence at once. Thank goodness.
“There would be an interstate basketball competition between BFS and some other schools in the states” He continues and everybody squealed happily, most especially the boys.
I rolled my eyes.
And what's the good news therein?
“So I want you'll to start preparing very hard. You know if our school won, we are going to earn more popularity and together with a massive prize which I won't like to reveal yet”
“And I believe all the guys in this class are in a team”
“Yes, some are in a football team while some are in a basketball team except Min Jun” That fool stood up and talked.
“Who's Min Jun?” The teacher asked, and I watched as the whole class pointed at him.
Whoa.
“Oh, it's you” The teacher raised a brow at him, and he nodded.
“Why didn't you join any of those two?” The teacher asked him, and he just smiled a little, and the next thing I heard was “Aww” from all the girls in the classroom.
“Min Jun has a cute smile”
“I've never seen him smile before”
“Min Jun, you should always smile”
“You're so cute”
I shook my head sympathetically as I listened to their remarks, they were not feeling well.
“Will you all keep quiet?” The teacher scolded, and they all keep shut immediately, but I could still hear some soft murmurs coming from them, though.
“Why didn't you like to join them, Min Jun?”
He slowly stood up. “I'm not interested” He replied, politely. I scoffed.
One would think he was the humblest whereas, he's the opposite- so rude.
“You don't like sport?” The teacher asked him again, and he just nodded in response before sitting down.
How would he like sport, when he's so full of himself? I thought angrily, gritting my teeth.
'It's pointless doing an assignment with you' I shut my eyes as his words replayed in my head, my fist clenched, and I bumped it against the desk. “Are you okay?” I heard the teacher's voice, I slowly opened my eyes to saw everyone's eyes on me, including Duffer.
Oh my, I blinked my eyes for some time before shaking my head sideways.
“I'm okay” I replied nervously for the first time in my life. “Are you sure?” Kwan asked from my back, I turned to her and nodded sharply.
F**k! I'm really going to kill you Duffer.
“Min Jun doesn't like sport, so don't push him” The teacher continues.” I believe you guys can do it” “Yes sir” The boys chorused.
“And don't forget you're all submitting your assignment tomorrow” The teacher reminded, and I felt my heart skip a bit.
I glanced at Duffer, but he was not looking at my direction.
“Yes sir” The whole class chorused this time.
“Good” The teacher said and left the class.
Gosh!
How do I ask him now?
The teacher was not being nice at all.
Why Duffer of all?
******
“Hey Duffer!” I ran after him with Kwan beside me. But he was not answering.
It was closing hour, and most students has already left school, but I purposely waited, so I could talk to Duffer because I can't talk to him in the class.
I wonder what he was busy writing when he was supposed to have left for home.
I blocked his way when he has refused to stop walking and listen to what I had to say.
“If your ears have stopped working already, then go cut them off, they're just hung to your head like some kind of decoration” I rasped, pointing at his flat ears, but he just stared at me like I was ranting.
“Calm down, Audrey” Kwan pressed a hand to my shoulder and says. I exhaled softly.
“Anyway, I'm here to ask about the assignment; we are submitting it tomorrow, and I prefer not to get punished because of your ignorance” I told him, my chest heaving up and down; but he only walked out on me, without saying a word.
I felt my heart drop immediately.
“Hey!” I shout.
This was the second time he's doing this to me.
“Let him be, Audrey”
“But this is about the assignment!” I yelled.
“I don't give a flying f**k about him, do I?”
Tears formed in my eyes and I quickly marched off.
Why are you crying, Audrey?
Was it because he's the only guy who appears not to give a damn about you? Or it was just because of the assignment?
My subconscious mind keeps asking me countless questions, but I couldn't provide an answer.
Tears keep rolling down my cheeks as I stared out from the window of the cab.
I've never felt like this my whole life.
I felt humiliated, all because of him.
