Chapter 4: Page 3: My New Home Tutor Is A Two Face?
Friday, 10: 15 am.
Even later at the Cafeteria.
Amelia.
________
BANGGG!!
Suddenly, there was a big collision at the Cafeteria's center.
My salad flew, the bowls on the lunch tray crashed and I dropped on the floor.
"Ah.. Watch it!.. A-Are you alright..?"
Snapped the guy I bumped into into in a kinda rude rushed manner, though I was the one who wobbled miserably and stumbled backwards.
I already have a tough time saving Sarah. And, now I had to get caught up in this mess too!?
Gritting my teeth, I looked up at him.
Only then did I notice the striking deep blue eyes of the worried popular guy before me.
His dark eyes were sharp and accessing, holding my eyes still his handsome figure. His black purple streaked locks fell over his sharp jaw-lined face. The dark circles underneath his eyes made his blue eyes shine and gave him a bad boy image. At that moment, I did not know what looked so good in that guy, his chiseled cheeks, his bright jewel eyes, his bright plump lips or his porcelain skin. He looked exactly like a picturesque.
It was strange. Though I know, I have never talked to him before, for some reason he looked very familiar too.
"Fu*k.. I-It's you."
At this time, The lad suddenly muttered, as though he had never expected me to bump into him like this. And, only then did I notice the true disgust he had towards me on his jewel blue eyes.
His face looked extremely startled and grim. He seemed so scared as though he had just touched an virus and wanted to rush off to washroom to disinfect himself.
I mean, okay.
I know I am not really pretty like Sarah Kim. And, I might come out like an otaku plenty of the times. But, still I am a normal highschooler who pays the fee for this school just like him!
I admit, being look down on like this by whoever this lad was, really made me feel very very offended.
"Amelia..!! Are you alright?"
Sarah, who had finally snapped out of the shocked trance from the sight, abruptly rushed front towards me.
"Just how on earth did you bump into Alexander Min..?"
She mumbled and only then did it strike me.
Alexander Min.
This guy was Alexander Min.
Oh my Gosh! No wonder, I felt he looked too familiar.
I shook my head and immediately glared at him.
"Alex, what happened?"
As I was trying to get away from the awkward postion with the help of Sarah, I suddenly noticed Derrick Han's tender voice resound from behind.
I really felt like I couldn't be more embarrassed. But, Alexander probably had other plans because, the moment his friends arrived too, he immediately walked away brushing aside my precious Derrick's shoulders.
Not just had I slipped down on the floor, right in front of Derrick Han. But, Alexander Min was also giving me the treatment of a trash. RIGHT IN FRONT OF DERRICK HAN!!!
OMGG!!! OMGGGG!!!
I can't believe I am writing this!!!
I confess that was the most humiliating moment I could ever handle in my entire life!
I know, as the most popularest guy in the entire school with an entire army of fan girls, Alex and I belonged to a total another dimension. But, wasn't humiliating me like this just wayy too much!
Ugh.
"Don't over react. I don't like bumping into you either!"
I spat abruptly exiting from that place.
From the corner of my eyes I saw a fluttery love letter note lying on the floor. I rolled my eyes at the drama.
Ah.. A love letter.
Some girl might have definately confessed to this popular. And, from what I know, Alexander Min would obviously be dying to reject that certain girl cause he does have a record of rejecting every confessions before they even have a chance..
Ugh...The school's infamous Popular clique... These constant love confessions are what's making them so full of themself..
Ok. Sarah just yelled at me for writing this. I had to convince her that's shes the only one excluded.
Anyways.
I must stop ranting here, dear diary.
Especially when I have already entered the class where I am sitting and writing you.
I did not dare to look how Derrick Han looked at me all this while. And, everything was because of my said childhood friend who treated me in such a way.
I had to shut up cursing about Alexander Min as Sarah keeps complaining her ears are starting to bleed since the last two hours. That's the reason she forced me to just continue writing this to you dear diary.
She confessed, even she was surprised why Alex was treating me like this.
As far as the general view, Alex was the ideal prince of the class. He was gentle, kind and dedicated (granted seen even his grades). So much that the girls call him The Golden Boy.
But, I guess, the "girls" meant over here are just the normal ones of the class and not tomboyish otakus like me.
I am seriously so fu**king hate that kid! Just what the hell does he even have against me to humiliate me like this??!
AHHHHHH.
Oh, gotta go!
A student just informed my class teacher that, Ms G's calling me.
I recall her telling me to come meet her desk again later to talk about arranging a private teacher or something. I am still not OK with that idea. I must hurry up and convince her mind soon.
Before Ms Grace come into weird conclusions..
Oh well, here goes nothing..
___________
Later on Friday.
5 pm.
Seriously, God must hate me.
I am the most unluckiest person ever.
I think, I understand why ostrich put their heads and hide from the rest of world. Cause, It probably experienced a humiliation like this.
Okay, here is what happened.
So, I just entered the staff room where Ms Grace was seated with an eerie smile on her face. I totally wanted to ask her is it because 'you have finally gotten a boyfriend?' And, only then did I notice Alexander Min sitting across her with a professional serious non-chalant expression.
"Ah! You!!"
I instantly pointed my finger at him and gapped my lips.
"...."
"Amelia, You are finally here!.. We were awaiting for you. By the way, do you two know each other?"
Ms Grace who noticed the strangeness of the aura asked us.
"Yes."
"No!"
Almost two completely contracting answers escaped from the lips of me and Alex.
Not just does he dare to insult me this noon, but he even fails to not acknowledge my existence, though we were actually friends before a few years?
"You punk. How dare you-"
I totally clenched my fists while gritting my teeth and wanted punch the pretty face of it. But, Ms Grace's snapping voice stopped me.
"Will you shut the hell up and please take your seat, Miss Jeong?"
"Yeah.. Yeah.."
Forced, I sat on the only other empty chair next to Alexander Min sulking.
"So, Mr Min. As you can say, though Ms Jeong is kinda eccentric just like I was talking about to you.."
What? What the hell were you talking to him about me, teech??
"But, she really needs a tutor to help her out her."
Huh?
"So, Alexander, are you up to this job?"
Ms Grace was still talking about my class, when I finally realised what was going on.
"What..? What??? H-Home teacher!!! Himm! Of all people!"
Alexander frowned a bit at my loud yelp.
"Amelia.." Ms Grace smiled.
"Hell no! No way. I refuse it. I solemnly refuse him to be my tutor."
I screamed loudly getting up from my chair.
"Amelia.." Ms Grace smiled again
"Ms G, There's no way I would ever want to be put togather with him!"
At this unexpectedly, my smiling teacher abruptly got up from her chair too and screamed in front of my face.
"Amelia. Jeong, With your oh so awesome grades, You are in no position to insult a scholar student in this scenario..!"
It seemed like Ms G's blood pressure really took a great toll today. So, I shut right up biting my lips.
Though, Alexander Min hasn't really said any thing at all during our arguments, I noticed his non chalant face look a bit peeved and awkward. Looking at him, Ms Grace finally sat down on chair with a deep sigh.
"I apologize, if Ms Jeong has offended in any matter, Mr Min."
She started.
"You really shouldn't" I interrupted.
"Shut up." My teacher snapped automatically and just continued.
"But, Amelia just needs a tutor, Alexander. Maths, science, history, politics. Even a kindergarten kid would out beat her knowledge and she really needs some one to help her. So, are you up for this, Mr Min.."
She asked him. Though, she still had the stern-ess of a teacher on her voice her eyes were practically pleading. It seems she really wanted to help me out.
Even if any one wanted to reject her offer, he couldn't.
Considering how I know about Alexander, I half expected him to turn her down with a polite smile.
The chap did smile. But, unexpectedly he then said.
"Of course. I can, Miss. It would be an honor. My aunt has just quit her job for taking care of her baby and I am looking for a part time job to cover our expenses. Helping Ms Min is a liability for me."
"What? Really..?"
Wasn't his mother a very rich business woman? I don't remember him ever lacking for money when he was young.
I thought when something striked me.
Wait.. That's not the point!
"But.."
"And, I know Amelia is really a bright kid, Ms Grace. After all she is the type who can do something when she puts her mind on it.."
The mesmerising words he had just uttered made me pause whatever I thought of protesting and just stare at him in disbelief.
"I believe there is great potential inside every single student. But, it just takes the right teacher to bring it out from them. With just a little motivation from me, I am confident Amelia would pass with flying colors, Mam."
I didn't know how but, at that time it was almost like Alex was shining. Each of his inspiring words struck straight to my heart.
H-He believes in me..?
Even when my favourite teacher, my mom and I don't..?
"Ah.. I see you aspire to be a professional teacher in future.. Right..? Am I right? You would be a great one though..! I am sure, the kids would love you..!"
I told him ecstatically turning to him.
The boy's face flushed abruptly and he brushed his purple flicked hair looking a bit awkward.
"Really..? Is it shown..? It's my dream to become a teacher though.."
He said meekly when I suddenly felt a giant thomp on my heart.
Kyun!
Eh..?
This guy..
I-Is he really blushing..? For just saying that..??
What is with him..?
Isn't that so cute!..
Gosh... His good looking face..
It must definately be because of his naturally cute face that I am feeling like this..
I tried sorting out my thoughts and stay immune. But, Ms G on the other hand completely fell for him.
"Mr Min.. I.. never knew you had such a sweet personallity..! Oh i am so glad I had asked you.. She said energetically grabbing his hand and shook it.
"Ugh.. Ms Grace.."
He is gonna break if you manhandle him like this..
I wanted to interrupt. But she calmed on her own.
"I am really so.. glad I had asked you.. Please help her out before I retire. Alexander.."
She said with her voice shaking as Alexander's bright blue eyes widened at her gestures. I don't not sure but, I felt like she would really cry if this goes on.
That's.. That's probably how much she cares about me..
I smiled meekly while closing the door behind us.
My teacher whom I have known since I was a little kid..
. . .
It was after a few minutes of walking towards the class did I look at Alexander and tell him.
"You have handled the situation well. Ms G looks happy. And, even I liked the way you think. So, tell me..! Are you really gonna tutor me, Alexander..?"
I asked the popular kid curiously tilting my head towards him. My two lower pig tails slided along with my head.
Maybe I was actually wrong about Alexander all along. Maybe he really is a good guy like everyone says. Maybe.. He would really be all I need for my tutoring.
I wondered. But, unexpectedly something that entirely contradicted my thoughts happened next.
At my casual question, the guy's face immediately frowned bitterly. He glared at me meticulously as the disgusted expression he showed me at the cafeteria returned his face.
"Oh my. I do not know what I have done to deserve this. Teaching you. A dumb girl..? Just what the fu*k was Ms Grace thinking? Did she think I have so much free time on my hands.. !! Ugh. Darn it! It is bad enough I must be associated to you since we breath the same atmosphere and now home tutoring..??"
There was a total role reversal on his behaviour compared to how he was inside Mrs Grace's office. It seemed like he was an angel. An angel with pretty face but, deep dark wings that are the only marks that showcase it's true character. He was just like the fox from my dream.
"What? But you said that I-"
"Do you think I actually want to tutor a nerd like you, Amelia Jeong..?"
Alex snapped forcing me to stop talking.
"You are the most annoying thing that happened today. And, with that vacuous head of yours even squirrel's would so a better job in storing nuts. Don't you dare tell anyone about this situation. I am out of here."
Alex didn't even let me to digest all the rude thing he had told me and exited as fast as he could though we actually belong to the same class.
Like he said, he must not even like the two of us breathing the same atmosphere.
And, you will not believe it but.
"W-Well!! The same goes for me too."
-was the only thing, I said.
But, whether we like it or not the Alex will come home tonight and just imagining the angry face of my mom for bring in a boy..
Oh... Someone's ringing the bell. Must be mom.
I can't wait to see her making a drama and yell at Ms Grace for this..
Hehe.
