TGJ 2: My Grumpy Jerk (On Hiatus)

Chapter 10

"I want you out of this university,"

He utters nonsense in front of me. Remember the guy I got into an argument with before? Yes, it's him.

"What? What did you say?" I say in disbelief.

"Don't act naive, geek. You know you are smart and dumb at the same time," he smirked after insulting me.

"You know what? I don't know if you're stupid or what but I am not leaving this university, like not ever," I scowl at him. His smirk turns into grit.

He looks creepy when he does that. He is serious now, I guess. But, I'm not stepping down to him. Who the heck does he think he is?

Suddenly, to my surprise, his lip curves in an upward manner, smirking again. It annoys me when he does that. He is worse than the jerk, no the jerk was still the worst so far.

"You won't quit Grá? Let's see then," he turns his back at me.

"Are you giving me a warning? What for, by the way? You are in no position to ask me to leave unless the President says so," I keep my stand sturdy and he did not even care to glance at me not even in the corners of his eyes.

"Tch. You are annoying as ever just like the day I met you. But don't blame me for not giving you a warning and accept my demand," he says and walks off.

Hey, I should be the one walking off since he stopped me from my tracks, right?

I don't know who the hell is that moron.

"But, wait," I look at my watch and guess what? I'm almost late for my first class. Damn it!

I run off to the classroom. When I confirm that this is my room. I open the door and what welcomes me is a quiet room. Everyone inside glances at the doorway. All their eyes are on me wondering who would I be.

I look around and cannot see anyone dressed like a professor.

"Good morning," I greet and they do not look bothered but keep staring at me. After a few seconds, they switch to a stranger-like behavior and mind their own business.

I enter and look for a vacant seat. I find one near the window and it's at the bottom part. I guess I like it better there.

The room is still silent and probably people inside are trying to gauge each other's behaviors. I cannot stand this kind of atmosphere but since it is the first day of school, I think it is quite understandable even I don't know how to interact with these new faces.

The door opens and it makes us all look at the doorway. It suddenly opens and reveals to be a middle-aged man wearing glasses and in his formal long sleeve clothes. He must be the professor.

He clears his throat and moves in front of us. He doesn't have anything with him like a book or notebook. He fixes his glasses and looks from left to right.

"Good morning, everyone," he starts and it makes me feel like he is kind of strict and definitive based on the way he speaks.

"Good morning, Sir," we answer in chorus.

"Today is your first day of class and I am delighted to welcome you all to the Performing Arts class," he speaks softly yet his strict tone keeps lingering on my ear.

"I am Professor Tee, not my real name but that's what everyone around here calls me. My name is too weird to be known in public," he chuckles. I didn't know there's a thing like that and he can joke despite sounding like a strict man.

"It came to my knowledge that the top one in the University Entrance Exam and also topped the Performing Arts Entrance Exam is in this class," he says and everyone starts to look at each other wondering who might it be.
