Lookism: What Am I Even Doing?

Chapter Seven

I'm getting worried for Zoe. Out of curiosity I checked out Yui's streaming channel the other day after the guys mentioned it while they ate away everything we had in the shop. Yui Kim had a lot of followers, much more than I thought. While I was scrolling though I found a stream of Zoe.

When I logged on she was wearing nothing but a white tank top. What she wants to show is up to her but some of these comments were making me feel a bit queasy from the stomach. Why was everyone on here so sexual? And they were paying her for doing nothing? I bet all they were busy looking at was her cleavage.

I looked down at my own breasts. They weren't nearly as big and I felt uncomfortable reading them. You have to be something else to deal with these kind of people. I'm only a spectator and I want to punch every single one of them in the face already. She must have a strong mind. I'm too hot headed for these type of things.

Aishh! There's something burning at the back of my head but I don't know why! I also have this unsettling feeling in my chest when I think of her! I think I'm missing part of a much bigger picture right now. What am I forgetting?

"Sook, do you talk to Zoe?"

She gave me a look, "From the Fashion Department? Not really. Why?"

I shook my head. Was she in trouble? That's the only possible explanation for why I'm feeling this way. I'm sorry author but Lookism was so damn complicated for me. I'm too much of a dumbass to remember everything that happens in the story. Fuck! I slammed my head against the table just as the bell rang for us to go to lunch.

Should I just jump out the window? Hwan always come back a new person when I toss him out. Though I suspect that's the whole near-death experience kicking in. In that case, I should probably jump off from the roof.

Sook tapped me on the shoulder as I groaned into the table. She sighed then went off to the cafeteria. Apparently since the festival a lot of the freshman have been asking if I can eat with them. Not even the freshman, some of the older students catch me at the gate of the school and try to strike up a conversation.

At first it was whatever but by the third day I felt like my ears were going to explode. All I wanted to do was make money for my department so why did I become a celebrity all of the sudden. And with girls no less. They were much bolder than the guys who just admired me from afar. Girls were scarier than they were cute.

I lifted my head. Speaking of girls won't Zoe be at the cafeteria too? Should I ask her for her number? I know we technically only spoke once but I can't shake the feeling that she's going to get into bad trouble soon. I'd rather he have the cops first if anything happens but there's no harm in taking extra precaution when it comes to someone's safety.

"Wait, Sook! Let me come with you!"

I took my things and ran after Sook who was almost at the end of the hall.

"You're actually coming? You looked like you were about to break the table in there. Was the date with Vasco that bad?"

Huh? Is that what she thought this was about? How did she even come to that conclusion?

"What? No, it was actually okay. I can feel it. Another storm is coming."

She gave me a look, "You with your feelings again. I think you should go see a doctor."

Damn, why did she have to be mean all the time?

Once we got to the cafeteria I separated from Sook. She called out to me but gave up after the fourth try. Zoe was sitting with the same girls from the Fashion Department, well except for Yui. I wonder if she was off somewhere smoking a blunt. Probably.
