Nothing happened yesterday, as I forgot I should've gone to Kaku's House, but he strangely didn't say anything. I suppose Stella doing her magic eh~

Just when I was thinking those, 1 notification popped up and rang my phone, and speak of the devil, it was my boss. I should apologize at very least. But, he only sending the message to remind me for the work, I don't understand.

===================

"So, what did you do?" I said as I passes Stella's desk.

"What do you mean?" She looks clueless and confused, but it was nothing more but a facade, a mask, an acting.

I let out a sigh. "whatever, just do what you're already doing."

"What with the sigh, you're still 2nd year student. Don't act tired like an old man." as she said with playful yet sarcastic tone.

"I am though."

as soon she hear the fast-reply, she let a disgusted look all over her face, it seems she didn't expect such reply.

These small banters was kinda calming for some reason, in which I don't understand why.

The teacher entered the class and the session started.

It was Math and for some unknown reason, the whole class seat was shifted around and for some unknown luck, Stella was sitting next to me.

I let another sigh.

"What? Do you think it's only you that get annoyed? albeit small voice, it was strongly sounded full with annoyances, even if it not directed to me.

"Lucky for you, math is my forte...well not really but better than nothing. Just ask if you don't understand anything."

"Was that also the father's order?"

"no, I just feel like it."

"don't you worry, 2nd year math aren't that hard for me."

"roger."

Why did I even brag that? What happened to me? I don't understand, human is really weird.

And as expected, she can't follow the flow. I mean that was normal, you entered the class during 9th months into the year, the teaching materials is more advanced of what get teached during 1st to 8th months after all.

"struggling much? want to copy my answer?" I whisper to her, noticing her struggle.

"no, not yet. This is the first time I get into this math class and if I was get the right answer, everyone expectance on my get increased which is a no no." She stubbornly struggling with such lame excuse, yet understandable one.

"fine, I'll teach you more on this subject at home."

"what? why should you? why should me?"

"So you slowly understand the subject and be same as the average students. wasn't that your goal?" I answered right away considering her behavioral pattern of replying me.

"uhhhhhh. fine fine, why are you so eager for this huh?" Slight annoyances filled her words, yet there's also slight excitement...or whatever that was.

"bored."

"yeah sure, you're always looking boring anyway."

And thus, the math session ended and the seat back to normal.

I go to library to borrow some book and ended up reading at class during breaktime.

"You're really close with that new girl aren't cha?" Eko suddenly sat in front of my desk.

"Why? I can't?" kinda aggresive one, but at the same time, a passive.

"It's not about can or cannot, it's just new you know~. Are you interested in her?"

"yeah yeah, interested indeed. I was just teasing someone I find worth to tease for."

"what the heck is that, so creepy haha." He laugh quite hard, but low enough so the class didn't catch it.

"Indeed, I don't know why though, this one is new experience."

"Go for it my dude, you can do it. just do it." He slapped my back slightly as a form of encouragement, but for what?

"what do you mean?"

"I mean, she listened our conversations you know~."

"who?"

"your girl, of course."

"quit with the puzzle, give me the clear answer." and I found Stella was nearby and looks disgusted. What did I do wrong though?"

==========================

I arrive at Kaku's House, surprisingly Stella was waiting for whoever she waits for.

"Why so late?" She ask, even tho her focus was on her gadget.

"I thought you don't care about me?" As I speak my voice she drop her focus and rotate to see me.

"Wh- why are you here?" she looks confused.

"I started here from today onward."

"This... argh, father really played me huh. get. out. of. here. RIGHT NOW."

She pushed me, outside. what the heck.

Whatever, I just call Kaku, get someone to show me the room I was assigned to, and put my things inside, not caring about Stella tantrums.

Let's call it a day~
