TGJ 2: My Grumpy Jerk

Chapter 11

"So, what are you going to do now?" Chocho asks while I remove the red tag hung in my locker.

"I will confront this moron and tell him to stop," I say and she shrugs while saying, "Seriously?"

"What am I supposed to do if not talking to him?" I say and she feels uncomfortable.

"But, do you know where to find him?" she utters and I look at her.

"I will search for him even it will take me to search the whole university," I say and close my locker. I still got the tag in my hand.

"Don't tell me you are going to skip classes just to find this guy?" she worries I may miss my classes since my studies are my top priority.

"Of course not, I..." I mutter and then glance at my watch. I still have thirty minutes before my first class starts.

"I still have thirty minutes left to partially search for him. If in case I can't find him before my first class starts, I will resume in my free time. I can't let this guy get in my way, no in our way," I say then take a step away from my locker.

"Hey, wait for me," Chocho follows me.

"You can go now, Chocho. I can take care of myself. You have to focus on your studies too, you know?" I wink at her.

"No way. I can't let you go all by yourself. What if the guy will do something stupid to you? I can't let it happen," she crosses her arms in front of me.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Of course, we will beat that guy's ass together," she confirms and I laugh at her statement. What makes her funny is she acts tough in front of me.

"Well then, let's go," I say and we head to the Business and Management department since it is the closest one from our point.

"Hey, where the freshmen room are?" I mutter.

"I have no idea," she replies.

"But wait, how do you know he is a freshman?" she furrows.

"We met at the university board. That only means he is after his entrance exam results," I tell her and she nods her head as she understands it now.

"Let's ask some people then," she suggests.

"Hey, excuse me. Where are the freshmen here?" she asks the girl who walks in our direction.

"On your left," she answers and walks past us. We look at each other and nod. We can do this.

We sneak into the window of each room to see if he is inside of any of them. So far, he is not.

"I guess he is not here," I say.

"After that room, we will head back," she tells me and I agree that's the last room in this row. Besides, it is already time for my first class.

We head straight to the last room and just like earlier, we sneak into the window to see if that moron is there.

"No good. He is not inside either," I say, and Chocho sighs.

"What are you doing?"

The voice from behind startled us and good thing we did not shout in shock.

We about-face to see who is behind us and I'm afraid he might be a professor. It's embarrassing.

"You?!" I point at him in shock. Chocho switches her gaze from me to him.

"What's going on?" she asks in confusion.

"Oh? If it's not the geek, Sarada," he hits back and I see him look down at my hand.
