His fake smile

Yeah, she finally remembered and gasped. Student Noel was someone who had a big impression on her even though he never once had a single conversation with her.

She remembered that the classroom teacher asked him to be her desk mate and at that time she was sitting on the first bench. She refused to share her seat since she stubbornly claimed that her desk mate can only be Shan and no one else and later he walked back and sat beside Shan since it was the last vacant seat left in the classroom.

They never had a conversation but she saw him often since he and Shan friendship grew within a week and the last she remembered was him dying in a car accident after taking classes for a week in the school.

So, it left quite a big impression on her since he had become very popular in the school. And what more, her engagement with White’s also got canceled from there side although she never knew the real reason for it.

Gosh! I have indeed forgotten many memories and one thing is sure, I am dying from frustration because of having two life memories. She sighed and her eyes met Noel.

It was weird but his gaze toward her looked more like as if he have scanned her just by a glance.

Everyone clapped after his introduction and Elin thought that Mr. Sen would not tell Noel to sit beside her since she have changed her seat unlike in the past when she sat on the first desk.

But that’s weird, he once again asked Noel to sit beside her even though the first seat was empty! There was no butterfly effect and why was that?

He walked back with a smile and outstretched his hand to have a handshake. This time she didn’t refused him arrogantly and shook his hand with an awkward smile because for some reason something was not feeling right.

His gaze was weird toward her even though he put on a smile and even that smile looked fake… smile, gaze and everything about him looked fake and for a while Elin guessed whether it was her eye problem or something really is off with this guy?

He took a seat beside her and it left everyone in the classroom stunned except for Mr. Sen, who was very happy. The students have already started to murmur about Elin odd behavior and they reached at the last conclusion, Elin must be trying to make Shan jealous by letting another guy sit beside her.

Huh! If you want to mutter then just do it, why is your whispers so hearable and troublesome.

“Hehe, that can never happen!” Bardie, who have curly black hair tied into a ponytail, said while mocking and looking behind at Elin.

She is the captain of her class and also the head of the fan club of Shan. Her friends laughed with her while looking at Elin and most of the time they get into quarrel with Elin because of their mocking words.

But Elin stayed put with a sigh and glanced at Noel, who was also smiling.

“It seems that you like that guy in the front seat,” he said with a smile.

Elin shook her head and waved her hand, “Just infatuation. I have gotten rid of it".

“Oo" his mouth open big ad he said that and looked ahead rather then looking at her. “Amusing!” he muttered, his voice very low and Elin looked at him, “What? Did you say something?”.

He shook his head, “Not to you!”.

No matter how Elin tried to think differently, she kept feeling a weird vibe from him.

Maybe I am over thinking.. ack! Her eyes stopped at her physics book which she was worst at and it started making her feel all sweaty and hot.

During the class she only saw three things – her class teacher, her smiling desk mate and other students eyes hovering over her. And she only did one thing, concentrate on her study so much that she ended up dozing off.

“Are you sleepy?” he asked looking at her after the class room teacher left. She shook her head and looked at her notes which was really other worldly.

She herself doesn’t understand what she wrote while dozing off… maybe alien words that other was yet to know! Her eyes turned right as she heard Noel giggle which he tried to hide.

He was laughing after looking at her notes and his eyes were still on it.

Extremely breathtaking! Elin rather then feeling embarrassed felt mesmerized by his beauty and smirked, “It’s nice to see you smiling for real. It’s better then your fake one”.

His brows creased hearing her say that his previous smile was fake but as for Elin, she quickly put her palm on her mouth to shut it from uttering anymore nonsense.

“Fake?” he looked a little angry and upset.

She shook her head cutely, “I said it while dozing off, don’t mind it".

He smirked and took her notebook with weird words, looking at it with his keen golden eyes, he glanced at her, “I am wondering whether your eyesight is bad or good?”.

She snatched her notebook while frowning and gulped as some few girls from other classes stood in front of their desk.

They had gifts and chocolates in their hands. They had shy expression yet the smile never faded. Like a blooming flower, they looked pretty with their cheeks blushing.

“These are from us, please accept it,” they left after filling their desk with gift and chocolates.

They always came for Shan but now they are also coming here for him. As accepted of popular students. I was once famous, too, but after I made the announcement that my heart will only accept Shan, no one dared to give me love letters. Should I make another announcement and say that, my heart has dropped Shan so it once again have more space? 

She giggled on her own thoughts and looked at him. His chin was rested on his palm as he kept it on the desk while staring at her keenly. She looked weird in his eyes.

Smiling on her own, dozing on her own and doing whatever like a little monkey who can’t stay still.

Elin drew her eyebrows while looking at him, “What’s the matter? Does the gift doesn’t suffice, so you are looking at me?”.

He chuckled and looked away, “You can take these things".

She rolled her eyes and stood up, “Thanks but no thanks. I don’t accept someone else things and you should keep it to yourself since they represent those girls love for you".

She walked out of the room after saying that and not once did she turned to look at Shan after passing by his seat. Her black long hair fluttering and her face looked like the moon in the darkness.

Almost seductive and the guys in the room, who mocked her before almost fall for her. Her destination was the washing room which was at the end of the corridor and she entered inside it.

Ah.. I feel light after clearing my belly. She washed her hand under the tap. Mirrors were placed in a consecutive line together with the automatic water tap.

“Look, who we have here!” Bardie said after following Elin to the washroom with her three friends. Her arm folded and eyes mocking Elin more then her smile.

Elin ignored her and after drying her hands, she walked toward the door to get out but Bardie friends closed it.

It was me, who used to bully others. What is this fan of Shan trying to do here?

Bardie licked her lips that was, too, red due to her overuse of lipstick and she walked toward Elin, “Are you trying to act innocent and mimic Rosy, so as to get into good books of Shan".

It wasn’t like if she shook her head they would believe so, she just nodded, “What if I did? It’s none of your business”.

Saying that, she was about to leave but before she could pass by Bardie, her wrist was grabbed tightly by her, “I will tell Shan about it and then let’s see whose words he is gonna believe”.

Elin shrugged her shoulder and yanked her hand back from her grip, “Just don’t annoy me, and do whatever you like".

She caressed her wrist which Bardie had gripped tightly and glared at her while sneering before leaving the room.

Bardie felt that she was insulted since Elin left without giving her another glance and as she heard Elin opening the door, she turned back, “Take my advice and stay away from him or you will end up going no where. With your mentality, neither you will be able to take care of your father business nor have any guy".

It was overly piercing since it really did happened to her once. Her hand gripping the door knob tightly and she continued to stay still while controlling her anger and later when she left, Bardie and her friend gasped after seeing the door knob all broken into pieces. It was intact but when they slightly touched it, the door knob fall into pieces.
