CHAPTER 2

Upon examining him for a brief moment, I responded with a casual "sure, I don't see anything bad." In retrospect, I should not have uttered those words. Every girl in the school highly regards him, and they would surely plot my demise if they perceived me as a threat.

"Yay, thanks!" he exclaimed, brimming with excitement. And then, he did something that left me frozen in place. He hugged me. A simple gesture, perhaps, but coming from one's crush, it's enough to make one's heart flutter.

Suddenly, a voice interjected, "Hello? Is anyone there?" I immediately recognized it as Mr. Shin's voice. Oh no, this is not good. We are not supposed to be here.

Acting swiftly, I pulled Zheng Hau with me and squeezed ourselves into a cramped closet. As we stood in the tight space, a cramp hit me, completely crushing my confidence.

I sat down, unable to bear the pain. "Hey, are you okay? Is everything alright?" Zheng Hau asked, concern evident in his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm alright," I said, trying to stand up. "Just cramps," I awkwardly added.

"Oh," he replied, silently expressing his understanding.

"Are you sure you're okay? You don't seem too good," he asked once again.

Alice POV

As Luna and I were walking, we discussed how handsome Mr. Shin is. Out of nowhere, someone pushed me.

WAIT, NO! We were on the stairs. Ready to meet the steps with my face, I braced for impact. However, I felt nothing.

Well, except for someone wrapping their arm around me. I opened my eyes to see Mr. Shin closer than ever. I couldn't help but admire his striking features as I lost myself in his eyes. His tousled hair and perfect pink lips looked so alluring.

We held each other's gaze, not breaking eye contact until he cleared his throat. I stood up, or rather, he stood me up.

"Hey...um, how did you fall?" he asked, looking confused and maybe a little awkward.

"I think someone pushed me," I admitted, feeling my cheeks warm up with a blush. I kept my face down so he couldn't see it.

"Do you happen to know who pushed you?" he inquired once more.

I looked up, clearing my face of any remaining redness. "I...don't know," I answered after a long pause.

"Should we check?" he suggested. I nodded, grateful for his concern.

Mr. Shin POV

As I was making my way to the discipline room, I saw Alice about to take a tumble down the stairs and potentially hurt herself.

In a daring move, I sprang to her rescue. She squeezed her eyes shut, fearing a fall. Silly girl. While admiring her, it dawned on me how close we were standing.

Her pallid complexion, luscious black locks, and plump lips that begged to be tasted. Pull yourself together, Shin. She's your student.

I helped her up and inquired, "Hey... How did you fall?" I attempted to speak nonchalantly, but I'm certain I came off as awkward. Oh my goodness. Why is my heart pounding so fast?

"I think someone pushed me," she muttered, keeping her head lowered. Wait. Is she blushing? I wondered. "Do you happen to know who may have pushed you?" I probed, hoping for an answer.

"I... don't know," she replied after a long pause.

"Well, I think we should go upstairs and check if anyone is there," I suggested. She simply nodded, and we made our way upstairs. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I called out, yearning for a response. No luck.

"I think we should just forget about it," Alice piped up.

"Alright then, let's head downstairs. The bell is about to ring," I stated. "Hey, Alice," I paused, "were you just blushing?" I couldn't help but ask, perhaps a bit too directly.

Instead of responding, Alice bolted away, only to trip on thin air and tumble down. I helped her up, and she scurried off. Such a whimsical child. Wait - did I just blush for my student?

Sighing heavily, I shook off any inappropriate thoughts. She's my student. I moved on to my next class - oh wait, I don't have a class right now. Oh well, I headed to my disciplinary office and perused through some cases.

"Fighting with a friend because he wouldn't do their homework." Ugh.

"SMOKING IN SCHOOL!!!" That's screaming for suspension, possibly expulsion.

"Eating in class." Not a big deal.

"Kissing in the hallway." Gross, find a room.

Sighing once more, I had read enough drama for one day.

Luna's Point of View:

As soon as I arrived in class, I spilled everything to Alice. She squealed with delight. *sighs* This girl is more enthusiastic than I am.

I realized we were getting back our math test, which I most likely failed.

"Alice?"

"Luna?"

"Zheng Hau?"

"TO THE DISCIPLINARY OFFICE!! NOW!" The math teacher bellowed.
