Chapter 2 - [CH2] a mere moron

As the bell rang, they encountered again. They both stared at each other. Alhaitham went ahead on the door, ignoring Y/n carelessly. Or maybe did he care? She went ahead to her appointed seat, unfortunately for both of them, they got to seat beside each other. Both of them grumbled, cursing themselves under their breath. Alhaitham was 'annoyed' the moment Y/n sat down beside him. He seems to be in deep thought. What the hell is going on with me? Is it because of her? Alhaitham thought. He took a deep breath and sighed.

Meanwhile with Y/n, she didn't care about looking around. But she did care about Alhaiatham, who was grumbling a mere minute ago. She started to feel a little spark on her heart. Y/n looked down at her chest. Huh? Y/n thought. She shrugged, as the new professor arrived. She didn't seem to recognize him, she decided to listen intently. Alhaitham, who is in deep thought, got snapped back to reality by Y/n. She threw a little note. "Sorry to bother, but who is that professor?"

Alhaitham cleared his throat. He clicked his pen and started writing. As he finished writiting, he checked if the professor is not looking. He immediately handed down the note to her. Y/n looked at the note, started reading it carefully. Alhaitham stared at Y/n, as she stared back. As if they were speaking in telepathy.

So he's Professor Renzo...? — Y/n

he's the same age as us. He studies and teaches. — Alhaitham.

Y/n was mentally shocked that he replied hback. She blinked at Alhaitham, as the Professor started to write something. As the day goes by, the both of them kept talking by passing down notes. It was a miracle that they weren't caught. Yet. The bond of both of them seems to close the gap, but slowly. Y/n started to realize how calm Alhaitham he is. He seems like he changed. He wasn't the Alhaitham that she knew from kinder to grade school. The day felt like years, and then finally it was recess time. Y/n yawned, as she stretched her arms. Suddenly, a girl came to her. "Hello, you're the new transfer right?" The girl offered a hand shake. "I'm Misuki. Nice to meet you!" Misuki exclaimed. Y/n hesitated to accepted the hand, yet she already knew that she's a nice girl. "I'm Y/n." Misuki beamed a smile.

"Would you like a tour around the school?"

Y/n shook her head. "I went to this school years ago. I'm okay." Y/n said, in a calming tone. Alhaitham, who was leaning on the wall, listened intently to the interaction of Y/n and Misuki. "Earth to Mr. Idiot??? Helloo??" Alhaitham snapped as Kaveh nudged Alhaitham angrily. "Hey! Why aren't you so focused this day!?" Kaveh furrowed his eyebrows. Kaveh snapped his fingers, smirking. "I bet its Y/n~" Kaveh snickered at his annoying friend. Alhaitham cleared his throat, rolling his eyes. Kaveh swore that he saw him blush, but he didn't say it. Kaveh smirked. "What a hopeless romantic you are." Kaveh sighed, walking away with his pockets shoved in his pockets. Alhaitham grumbled.

Y/n said goodbye to Misuki. She was surprised that she was actually the Student Council's Vice President. Y/n took a deep breath as she turned around, seeing Alhaitham gazing through the window, watching the other students play football. Y/n hesitated to go to him, eventually walked slowly to him with her arms on her back. She quietly watched the students play with Alhaitham.

Alhaitham looked at Y/n, but didn't say anything. He noticed how elegant Y/n is now. Her hair waving through the wind from the sky, her eyes illuminating from small amusement. Alhaitham looked away as he cursed himself quietly. — 'Why would I be impressed by her beauty?! she... she's just a...'

'A mere moron'

At last, for students have all waited for this moment. Home time. Earlier, the school announced that they will arrange dorm rooms, for they will move next week according to the arrangement. Y/n sighed in annoyance as 3 girls went to her, cornering in every gap. "Well, well, we have a new student to play with~" the girl snickered. Y/n stayed quiet to avoid any more conflict and problems. She forced herself against them to escape and walk away. "Bye-Bye." she waved as she walked away without anymore problems.

"That little..." The other girl ran to Y/n and grabbed my collar. "..." The girl laughed. As if she's the main villainess. Y/n cringed. "I am merely saving Alhaitham from you, a rascal!" The girl said, who was holding my collar. "How ironic." A certain man growled in a low-toned voice. Both of them turned their attention to the voice. Y/n's eyes slightly widened, and glowed.

"She's not a threat nor problem. Back off you piece of shit."
