Staring is not good but its not like its harming her

__________________

   As usual, the son of the chairman, Hendery, kept his identity as the son of the chairman from school hidden, even the teachers.

His father would rather say he doesn't have any son than revealing his so good-looking son to public which Hendery has no similarity in looks with his father. People would find it weird somehow. (A/N wherein every typical drama has. i found it weird and stupid)

He's also known as an anti social person who would just ruin his father reputation by his killing looks, and by mean, he have that bad boy vibe. but he's actually innocent, he respect his father and doesnt actually do any bad things just to ruin his teenager, highschool times.

Instead of using a vehicle, Hendery wanted to keep it normal as average teenagers around him. He preferred walking to school than being stared when he have personal bodyguards around to send him anywhere. Drivers, bodyguards, maids, the position as the son of the chairman, he got it all.

One of his bodyguard do checks on him if he goes to school and doesnt cause any problem almost everyday. He's fine with it as long as they do their work like others and not being too creepy like stalkers.

Talking about his way to school, he always arrive late. Its either early or late. Not too early or too late though and just by entering the school gate, he would only gain his confidence to pass by the discipline teacher whos scolding other late students.

Why? He's too powerful to handle. Perhaps about his looks. The teachers do like him but some of the students dislike him too, yes because of that.

"You should come earlier next time, go to class." The teacher pat him at the back, and even gave him a smile, letting him go easily like that.

"Ah ssaem! This is so unfair." A student his age whined, only to get another punishment in front of the gate. "No talking, 10 pushups!"

Hendery smirked because of that, and just walk with his bag hanging on one shoulder, hands in his pocket. He's living the good life.

"Ssaem, why are you doing this huhu, its almost class, they should also come early for the first period." A voice of a girl passed him by, eyeing him from the back with a glare as she walk towards a bunch of punished students and the discipline teacher.

The teacher got his eyebrows lifted, shrugging "What do you mean? They should be punished."

"Yes, sometimes they do but i told you they cant be like this forever. It's only coming late, they mustve have reasons, like you should be understanding too." The girl wasnt complaining much about it cause she can relate.

She continued, gesturing the students to leave for class, "You guys should go, It's getting more late."

He heard the conversation but he suddenly felt uneasy, he also think that its suddenly unfair, just because he was being let go than the late ones. On the other side, he just knew the girl is like a bragging ahjumma, sometimes she would care about it too. It's funny, he used to know the 'into-character' girl but today he doesnt feel like she's it.

   Some days he would just skip his way from the same girl as before, but the girl refused to let him go, from the corner of her eye, she would spread her left arm in front of him to make him stop walking then face him with a serious look.

"You aint actually going anywhere."

Eyes were staring at the girl, their heads looked up but they stayed silent as they enjoy the badass scene. The boys looked up while doing bridge, girls looked straight as they stand up with their backpack above their heads. Not a surprise to them actually.

Instead of challenging her, he gave them a cold look and actually ignored her, then walking her by, their shoulder barely bump on each other on purpose.

She felt her body tense, looking down with her fist curled into a ball. She let out a sigh and did the same too, ignoring him. She focused on the students in front of her and let them go after a minute. Another typical rude guys.

   But in some days, Hendery challenged himself to stay with the punished students, wanting to try new moves to be cool. With his manner-less behaviour and attitude.

"You shouldn't just walk off easily like you always do."

He thought of something, faking a smile before facing her again. "And what are you gonna do with that, missy?"

The students were again into the both person in front of them, staying quiet and still.

She let out a heavy breath, "I'll make you stay."

He felt that she was uncomfortable but he enjoyed the scene himself, smirking down at his feet before looking back at the others. "Ok then."

With that, he take a position next to the boys and put down his bag, the students were all looking at him. He did the bridge position, acting like an innocent person. Just then, she massaged her temples.

"Yah yah yah, that- uhh that.." she didnt have her words out of her mouth, she pointed at him a moment then scratch her head, she look at him a moment, and massage her temples again. She knows the bridge position wasnt that easy to do but he did well, its just that, his stomach was exposed.

The pale skin and toned abs were seen through the uniform and it was, she guess,, so uncomfortable to look at. Not that she purposely want to, but the eyes just cant avoid it. She wanted to complain but imagining him having his uniform tucked was another nightmare. He never have his uniform neatly tucked in.

"Yah you, just get up. Take your backpack and lift it above your head. Just stay still." She had her expression too obvious and he seemed to like it so with no harm, he would just stare at her the whole time.

'Staring is not good but its not like its harming her i guess' he thought.

Knowing and feeling that his beautiful eyes that cant be avoided was glued on her vision, she looked around to ignore the feeling, staring at her watch and so on. but it doesnt says that it'll go away. She felt herself getting nervous and uneasy, uncomfortable.

Eventhough it was just 8:13 on her watch and 8:20 the exact time to let them go, she gave up and let them go instantly with her head down.

"Eh? Why? You didnt like me being here? I thought youre gonna make me stay." Hendery said with his innocent eyes looking at the students wearing their own backpacks then to her.

She felt that he was in front of her, still with that creepy stare, looking at her intensely, it felt like the stare have a meaning or something. It made her feel a silly feeling in her stomach.

"Just go when i told you to go." She almost stuttered when he got his face closer but then away with an okay-then look, giving another glance before leaving.

Her friend approached her and pat her back when she half sit on the floor, her palms covering her face. "It's alright, some people are just creepy assholes." She assured, looking at the girl.

The girl unbelievably stared back at him, "Its just that.. he's so weird"

Sometimes, Hendery comes to school early to play around with his friends, walking around the school, hangouts like they do in recess. She made her way in front of her classroom as the bell ring, stopping her track when the students nearby didn't even move to separate their ways especially the girls that were in fronts of their lockers, sounding like theyre squealing.

She turned around to see a bunch of girls squealing over the same, familiar boy she always see. Letting out a sigh as she massage her temples, "Hendery. Please,, stop flirting around with girls that exist in this school. How many times should i remind you? And please, get into your classes. The class should be starting by now."

Hendery proudly smile and wave at the girls that's walking away before he walk towards his classroom, looking down while grinning at her. "And you're gonna be next? A very nice choice. Until next time." Glancing at his signature smirk with her lips parted, she stuttered.

"Wh-what? I didn't even say- i didn't even volunteer for your stupid doings!"
