Chapter 4 - Uhhh hi.

As we drove through the large city, I looked around at the scenery and let myself be memorized by my surroundings. This city is massive almost. The air smells fresh and floral.

The city had wide avenues and small places to sit and eat, to relax as the people went about their day.

There were the sky towers in the center, As we drove past the skyscrapers, I continued to admire the scenery.

The rest were parks and in the center of the park was a marble statue of some important figure I suppose, and a chance to walk among nature or enjoy the trails on bicycles or horseback.

Yet perhaps my favorite thing was the river that flowed through the center, crossing the bridges, people pausing just to look at the view, the shopping mall, and the cafes.

It was truly a beautiful scenery. I mean sure I read the descriptions of the setting but seeing it in real life is almost breathtaking.

When we arrived at the school, the school was moderately-sized and had an ultra-modern look to it.

As we stepped out of the car, mom waved us goodbye and drove away.

"bye!" I said waving at her as her car drove away.

I looked back behind me to find the school I would be attending for only five days.

I decided to avoid all the characters as much as I can, I mean sure it is a cliche for those who transmigrate they tend to avoid the characters, But I want to avoid them and not meet up with any of them.

This way is better for me and my mental health, especially to avoid Damien.

'Man this is gonna be stressful...'

Thankfully I was able to find Leroy's schedule on his phone. I opened the notes app and read it.

'Man he must really be a smart guy to be taking honors and ap'

I sighed and headed into the school and straight to class.

I sat down at a seat near the far right of the classroom And decided to just look out the window and stare at the kids outside coming into the building.

"May I sit here?"

I looked up to find this drop-dead gorgeous blonde looking down at me and awaiting my response. And what's worse is the damn sunlight was making him even brighter.

'Damn please don't tell me this is Damien...'

"um. uhhh."

I was speechless. Sure the male lead is always hot but looking at them in real life is astounding.

"so is that a no?" He asked me staring and waiting for a response

"Ummm" I just couldn't get a word out of myself.

He chuckled and proceeded to sit by me anyways.

"Your silent like always I see"

'huh? why is he sitting near me right now? are we friends? What's happening?'

"Oh your not wearing your usual spencers and glasses? You look way better without them anyways"

"Ummm yea, I guess" I responded to him.

He chuckled and smiled.

'god, he's hot.'

"Hm is there something on my face?" He asked me

'shit'

"Oh no sorry, just a bit tired..."

'man this is so nerve-racking, But who the heck even is he??...'

"Well, I hope your able to confess your love to genny."

"excuse me?" I asked him.

"hm, something wrong?" He looked at me confused as if he said something wrong.

'What the hell has Leroy told this boy!!'

What the hell am I supposed to do now?! Just say 'yea no I decided not to because I'm going to refund the necklace and get my money back.' I mean that could work but I'm in Leroy's body so I can't be suspicious. But on the other hand, since I did transmigrate to Leroy's body I can say it but just in a different way.

'Ahhhh this is so frustrating, fuck it.'

"No, I did but she rejected me," I uttered to him.

"oh... I'm sorry about that..." He hung his head down feeling sorry for me.

As he hung his head low, I peeked at his notebook to confirm who I was talking to but couldn't see a better view of his notebook.

While I was in the middle of doing that. The boy hung his head back up and asked me an unexpected question.

"Is that why you made yourself hotter so you can make her jealous?" He asked me looking back up at me.

'huh? what? you serious?'

"Um no, Since I'm getting into high school, I decided to fix myself up"

"I see, which high school are you going to?"

"Umm I haven't decided yet"

Suddenly I felt his hands brush against my hair. I flinched away dumbfounded by this.

'what the- Sir I am not gen don't try that bullshit on me, mister. Ever heard of boundaries?'

"Oh, I'm sorry. uh, I don't why I did that- haha it's just your hair looked really pretty with the sunlight" He nervously said.

'Yea nope, This dude is too weird to be Damian.'

"You're fine, We should probably do our work," I said just waiting for class to be over.

"It's the last week of school, we don't really have to do anything really..."

'Damn why is this guy still talking to me?'

"oh, I see," I responded back to him

"Your usually mean to me from time to time me."

'I wonder why.' I thought to myself as I rolled my eyes at him.

But for the fun of it let's just play along.

"I do?"

"Mhm! I mean you always never talk to me and give me this look"

'Hmmm so it seems Leroy dislikes this guy for some reason'

"What kind of look?" I asked him.

"Like I'm some disgusting vermin." He said bluntly.

'Oh- Wooww, Leroy? I can't imagine Leroy looking at someone like that. The only person I can think of who he looks at like that is Damien.'

"Hey, what's your last name?" I asked sounding a bit impatient.

'Might as well ask the man his last name instead of his first name. I mean comon has no one thought of just asking the last name to avoid suspicion.'

He looked at him surprised as if my question was supposed to be a joke. When he realized I wasn't joking he smiled at me and responded.

"Hale, Damien Hale."

'Fuck.'
