Don't Fall in Love! (English Version)- UNDER REVIEW

CHAPTER 1

I looked around for something I could defend myself with.

That animal stared at me, angry, just waiting for me to take another step so it could attack me.

ㅡCalm down, little dog, I don't want to get hurt or hurt youㅡ I said through gritted teeth, my hands in front of my body.

Then a noise sounded and the dog moved away and started chasing the passing car.

I sighed in relief and ran my hand through my hair. I took out my cell phone and was startled to see the time. I was late.

ㅡUgh!ㅡ I started running to school, which, luckily, was only a few meters away.

I entered the place, seeing the empty hallways, a sign that classes had already started. I opened the door to my classroom, attracting the attention of the people present and the art teacher.

ㅡExcuse me, teacherㅡ I said, and she shook her head disapprovingly at my lateness.

I went to my desk, which was near the window, and sat down. I took my materials out of my backpack and placed them on the table.

ㅡWell, students, I expect you to do this work well. I don't want any haphazard drawings; I want something beautiful and well-expressed.ㅡ Ms. Holland turned to us and looked directly at me.

The last time I made a drawing, she sighed heavily at the sight of so many clumsy lines on the white sheet.

ㅡWas this supposed to be a person?ㅡ she asked, examining the scribble.

I took my pencil from its case and made the first strokes on the sheet. A face was already forming when suddenly the classroom door opened, revealing a tall boy with a serious expression.

ㅡGood morning, Erixㅡ the teacher said, and he simply nodded.

Erix ran his hand through his black hair as he walked to his desk. However, he stopped beside me and bowed to my height.

ㅡYou're welcomeㅡ he whispered in my ear and sat down at his desk, which was three desks behind the one next to mine.

I frowned and glanced at him quickly. I stared at my notebook, trying to remember something he had done for me, but I couldn't. Besides, I'd only seen him once in my life, since Erix wasn't around very often.

I heard the group of rich girls in the class laughing and looking at Erix. He had a disdainful look on his face, staring at the board. He hadn't even taken his materials out of his backpack.

I shook my head and continued drawing. This was my last year at school, so I needed to do all the assignments possible to get as many points as possible. I didn't have time to get distracted by unnecessary things.

...

After two long math classes-following art class-it was already break time. Since I'd only been studying at that school for two weeks, I hadn't made any friends. But I didn't care, because I always liked to keep to myself, isolated.

I sat in the corner I had designated as mine and started eating the apple I had brought.

At that school, everyone had their own little groups. There were the popular kidsㅡthe rich onesㅡthe studious onesㅡbetter known as nerdsㅡthe bikers, and those who also preferred to be alone, like me.

I saw Erix walking to an empty table. However, when he sat down, those girls approached him and sat on the bench at the table he was at.

Zara, Hazel, and Maeve were three girls who could easily buy an entire building with the money they had. Zara was the leader of the trio. She was quite pretty, with fair skin, green eyes, and short blonde hair. She was a little taller than me and had a body that many girls envied. Hazel was a redhead with green eyes. Maeve had curly brown hair, tanned skin, and full lips. They were girls who exuded beauty. However, they seemed to lack brains.

I observed the scene, which was starting to get funny: Erix put on his headphones when they started talking to him. They both laughed at something that certainly wasn't funny at all, and sighed when the boy pulled the strands of his black hair back.

Erix was indeed handsome, but he wasn't my type. His dark, almond-shaped brown eyes gave him an air of "if you get close, you might not be able to escape." The strands of his hair formed some waves, not too exaggerated, and his eyebrows were a little thick. In other words, he made any girl sigh. Except me, of course. I opened the book I had brought with me and started reading. It was the only thing I had to distract myself, since I had forgotten to bring my cell phone.

When I was already engrossed in the book, which, by the way, was a romance novel, I felt someone coming towards me.

ㅡUh...ㅡHe cleared his throat. ㅡHiㅡhe said, somewhat hesitantly. I looked at the boy, whose name was Adrian. I knew this because he was also popular. Adrian was in the other third year and played basketball. He was about 1.80 meters tall and handsome. His brown hair was a little messy. Some strands covered his thick eyebrows, which made him even more attractive.

ㅡHi.ㅡI closed the book. ㅡHow can I help you?

ㅡDo you want to...ㅡHe cleared his throat again. ㅡDo you want to go out with me?

I arched my eyebrows in surprise. But as soon as I looked at the table a few meters behind him, I realized.

ㅡNo, thank you.ㅡ I gave a half-smile and went back to reading my book.

ㅡWhy not?ㅡ He seemed surprised by my answer. Of course, he had never been rejected by a girl in his life.

ㅡI don't think you want to go out with me willingly.ㅡI pointed with my head to the table where the popular kids were, who were discreetly looking at us.

ㅡBut I doㅡ he said and pulled my hand towards him. I grimaced. ㅡPlease, Faye, go out with me.

The bell rang, announcing the end of recess. I tried to pull my hand back, but Adrian held it tighter.

ㅡLeave her alone, Adrian.ㅡ Erix's hoarse voice made Adrian let go of my hand.ㅡ She's not just anyone to fall for your smooth talk.
