Chapter 3 - Squirrel



The moment they reached their classroom, without wasting a second, Kira took long strides towards Zeri Kim. He took the chair in front of her desk, turned it around, then he sat on it, facing her. He then stared intensely at her.


The girl's hair was really black. But for some reason, she styled it so that most of her face was covered by her black hair, causing Kira to be unable to even see her face clearly, making him frown. Aside from that unusual hairstyle, she was also eating and both of her cheeks seemed to be stuffed to the point that she almost looked like an eating squirrel. Seeing the girl's stuffed cheeks strangely filled Kira's brain with nothing but annoying squirrels popping everywhere one after another.


He then quietly shook his head to annihilate all the squirrels inside his brain and focused his gaze on the girl again. He stared at her eyes that were black like a dark abyss. He kept staring until the girl finally stared back at him.


The two gazed at each other.


A few seconds passed by and the the girl started to eat again nonstop, chewing the stuffed food in her mouth while gazing back at him with big, obvious question marks in her eyes.


Zeri, at that moment was actually puzzled to the core. It was because for some reason, the moment she stared at the boy in front of her, her extreme fear strangely wasn't activated. Well, Zeri used to jolt instantly, freeze in place or flee in a panic the instant any boy or man got this close to her, much less stare at her in the eyes. So why did she suddenly not react towards this guy?


Zeri was so confused. This was the first time something like this happened to her. What was going on? Wait, don't tell me I have been cured? Really? But how and why?


Trying her hardest to think about the reason why she suddenly felt just fine being this close to and even looking at a boy, Zeri was having a hard time finding a logical reason for her behavior, so she simply continued gazing into his eyes.


Kira on the other hand, couldn't believe what was happening. It was because such a long moment had already passed but the girl was still gazing back at him as if the two of them were suddenly in a game where the first to avert his or her gaze became the loser.


Another long moment passed by with both of them just staring at one another as if neither of them was willing to lose. Kira was speechless. Aside from her gaze, the girl was eating in a really uns.e.xy way right in front of his very face and yet, not even a speck of embarrassment was reflected in her face. What was worse was that she was looking at him in a way that seemed like she didn't really care that it was Kira, the great, she was staring at. Kira could only bite his lips. Never in his life had he met such a girl who was purposely looking at him like he was nothing.


Such an uns.e.xy and ghost-like Squirrel actually dared to ignore me?


A smile filled with nothing but disbelief carved on his lips again. He felt as though the girl was just trying to piss him off; something that his great self couldn't accept at all. Moreover, it seemed that this Zeri Kim had no intention to lose in their game of staring anytime soon.


Kira could only wonder at this new experience. He was surprised about the fact that the girl managed to keep staring back at him for such a long time, something that no one else had ever dared to do until now.


And what happened the next moment made him stunned for a moment in disbelief.


"Want some?" the girl suddenly asked as she lifted her left hand holding a burger, towards him. Her voice was like a rhythmic yet annoying song that suddenly echoed over and over again in his head.


Did she think I came over to stare at her and ask her for food?


Kira's mouth hung open slightly. He didn't even know how to react. He was completely thrown off by the uns.e.xy creature, just like that.


"Pfft… Hahaha."


A soft chuckle broke the silence and the two turned their head right away to the man who suddenly erupted in laughter.


The stalemate finally broke but Kira's expression suddenly darkened as he glared at Rei, who was trying to suppress his laughter.


However, the moment he turned his gaze back to the girl…


"You don't want any?" she asked again but because Kira didn't talk at all, the girl quietly put the burger back on her desk and she continued eating, ignoring Kira.


Kira couldn't even speak, so he simply smirked then stared back at her again. After a moment, his gaze turned into something unreadable.


No girl ever made him speechless like this before and no girl ever looked at him like he was nothing before. Not until this Squirrel appeared.


The whole class' eyes were on them; they were wondering why Kira suddenly approached that infamous ghost girl no boy ever dared to approach until now.


"Why the hell is prince Kira staring at her? And look at that, how could she even stare back at him for such a long time? She's getting on my nerves!"


"That's right, how dare she look at him that closely! She's not even attractive, right? Look at that hair style, I can't even see her face clearly. She doesn't have any accessories, and she's not even wearing make up. How could she have entered our school? She looks poor. She looks disgusting."


"Class, please be quiet." The teacher's voice made the class fall silent and Kira finally stood up. He then glared at the girl once more before he went and sat right behind her.



As soon as he left, Zeri swallowed all the food she had stuffed in her mouth as her thoughts started to wander. She originally thought that she may have suddenly been miraculously cured but she was wrong. It was because the moment she looked at that laughing guy and their eyes accidentally met, her body reacted as usual and goose bumps covered her body, causing her to immediately avert her gaze away from him.


Zeri realized then that she wasn't cured at all, so why didn't she react to that guy? Was it because he looked ultra handsome?


Well, even to Zeri, Kira's features were unbelievably perfect that he seemed to be too handsome to be true. This was the first time she looked at a guy's face this close and she, who had been scared of boys all these years, was actually awed by his face. Could it be that he was actually an android?


That's nonsense, right? How could that be? Wait, is it because he is actually a girl disguising as a man?!!!
