Chapter 72: -Being Confessed To -

’That’s all."

Glancing at the quiet sitting youth from the corner of her eyes. The sight of his emotionless eyes staring outside the window, created a subtle blush that found its way to her cheeks.

Luckily most of the students in the class seemed more occupied with taking off their lab coats than monitoring her expression. Too famished from having burnt a lot of calories back in the lab. As practical revision would have it.

While it was compulsory for most, it wasn’t necessary for Max.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The electronic bell rang afterwards.

’Pretty much awkward.’

He thought to himself, Watching her leave the class.

As it turned out last night, after missing several of his calls and texts. Miss Linda actually called him back. A video call to be precise.

Without letting him say anything, she began apologizing to much of his shock.

"I’m sorry... I was jealous... " words after words, fidgeting, then nervously staring at the camera. Then even a little panicky at some point. Deeply fearing that their relationship would end, she told him he could sleep with any girl he wanted. And in the future marry more wives, as long as they loved him like she did.

All in all, from his pov it appeared that she had deeply fallen in love with him, enough to convince herself sharing him was the right thing to do.

Instead of apologizing, he began comforting her instead while being lost in his own speechlessness.

Currently they were both on good terms and their scheduled date was still on.

Taking a deep short breath, Max got up and walked out of the almost empty class. In this short period of time, staring outside the window, he had realized two things: One, the term was coming to an end soon. Clueless of how the System influenced the school to upgrade his rank, he became doubtful if the System could bypass certain procedures.

According to the school rules S Ranked Promotion was only made at the end of a term before the next began. Meaning, if he didn’t manage to reach it before the term came to an end. He might have to wait the coming term before being promoted after that.

Two, his plans would be severely influenced. And he needed to forward things. If it came to it, he would have to give up his low cover and walk into the limelight.

"Class five Students said she disappeared yesterday during the basketball game."

...

"Yeah I bought it."

"Send me the leak."

"That’s long gone bro, the video was insidiously corrupted from the beginning. Can’t you see everyone is talking less about it."

"Yh, they are all currently dealing with bugs or bought new gadgets."

"Hand me that, I’m so fucking starved. Last night was epic."

"Dude."

"I made the transfer."

For the first time the Cafeteria was filled with chatters and murmurs carrying different and varying contents. Among them was his recent doing which he didn’t want to think much about.

Walking towards the less populated tables, at the loser corners to be precise. He dropped his tray and sat down to eat. Unlike the last time he was here, he barely attracted anyone ’s glance.

And yet as he was about to place a steak in his mouth. He felt the presence of an approaching figure, distinct from the chatters,he raised his head upon feeling a faint shadow loom over him.

Glancing up to see the person’s face, surprisingly it was a lean, seemingly frail youth excluding some kind of feminine traits as he appeared to shyly avoid his gaze.

’Ugh?’ confusedly studying the other person’s reaction, trying to remember if he knew him.

"Here, take this." The youth said, stretching out his frail arms to reveal a folded paper within his palm.

’What’s going on?’ using a slight moment to ponder the other’s intention, he stretched out his hand to take it out of formality.

Seeing this, the seemingly frail youth flushed pink and quickly walked away.

Behold, there was a group of male students with something distinct about them, staring weirdly at him. While welcoming the frail youth in their midst.

Still confused, he calmly dropped the cutlery in his hands, and unfolded the sheet of paper.

’

’Hi.

I know you might be stunned by what I’m about to say.

I have fallen in love with you. And I am quite clear about the point at which I started to slowly fall in love with the way you walk, the way you sit, the way you compose yourself. The way, the way, the way...’ eventually he skipped the ways.

Moving onto the next paragraph as his blank mind resounded the words written on it.

Okay, I’m just gonna say it... because if I don’t, I’ll keep overthinking and probably explode.

I like you...

Not in the "oh you’re cool" kind of way, but in the "you’ve been stuck in my head since I first saw you.

I’m saying this again, you’re HOT. Stupidly exciting. I get butterflies from seeing your cold eyes.’ with a stylishly drawn heart at the end.

Max’s mind froze as threw a quick scan over the paper again. He tried to think, say something to himself. But his brain refused to, still not having processed everything.

For a moment the chattering noises disappeared. He threw a slow glance at the table the boy was sitting, shyly avoiding his gaze.

’What the fuck!’

’You think I’m gay? Fucking gay? Gay?’ At this moment he felt a promptu to stand and curse. His expressionlessly composed face crumbled into a sneer, moving on to tear the paper without hesitation.

"Huh? What’s he doing?" Some people in the cafeteria turned their heads upon hearing the ripping sound, only to turn back afterwards in confusion.

Not once, not twice, not thrice either. There was no count to how many times he ripped the paper, using his strength. He tore it into several tiny pieces that fell into his tray.

When he was done, he felt a sense of hostility from the group of boys. While comforting the frail youth.

Glancing at the scattered pieces of paper.

’Seems I have to switch back to Digestives with a bottle of water.’

Wanting to stand up, he felt another presence stop before the table.

Glancing up, he saw an outstretched hand with a crumbled paper in it.

’Are you kidding me?’
