Another Chapter
"So, if my head is right, I was supposed to disturb the flowers at the cafeteria. I will skip recess."
The way I address the character won't expose me. Never. By the way, I think the male lead is just watching the female lead from afar since she always relaxes arounds places near him. His luck is unbelievable.
I remember his friends would drool over her while he just stares at her like she's some stone.
"Oi Charles! I heard the news from your butler! If you want to know anything, just ask me. Before you lose your memories, I am your sidekick, James."

"Mhm."
"Mhm? That's it?"
"Yes. What else should I say? I am hella grateful that I want to slam your head against the wall," As I complained, he put his head slowly on the table which made James sigh.
"Bro. You didn't just hurt your head, you lost your soul and let it be replaced with another one. Sad."
He's not wrong about that. By the way, school starts at 7, ends at 1:30 pm. Wait, are there any extracurricular activities today? Oh, it's Tuesday. So 1:30 it is. My dear father needs me for dinner, I wonder what he wanted to talk about.
I finally have a father.

"You may go out for recess."
It is normal for people in the class seeing my behaviour change after the news about my accident. Now, I just sleep instead of flirting so everything is fine.
For now.
"Dude. Go eat something."
"Do you know what I like? Just buy it for me. I'll pay later."
"I don't know what you like. You never tell me anything except the fact you like ((&;=;)$:$."
"I like what-?"
";(/));*—ring"
I gave up. It's all messed up except the end of his words which is "ring". I suppose this is the thing that readers never knew except the character in the comic itself.
"Buy me some tea and bread."
The money I hand out has gone from my hand. He's working, alright. I feel a pair of eyes staring so I look up. I guess the person didn't expect me to look at them.
"Franz." The male lead is the one staring at me.
He grabbed the seat next to me and sat down. Okay, please, no conversation.
"I am waiting for you to disturb the girls but I guess the rumour about your head is right."
"It's not my head. It's the fact that no one here attracts my attention."
The fact alone makes Franz chuckle. The stone face just laughs at me? Is he nuts? I don't have energy to comment on his emotions though. Out of nowhere, he raises his hand to someone and the person gives a bag and grabs his.
????
Where is this going?
"Somehow, you're giving off a comfortable and calm vibe. Let me sit next to you."
Unable to bring myself to move my mouth to talk, I just wave giving him a pass to sit there. As long as he doesn't make my life upside down, it should be fine.
~~
For Franz, his heart felt at ease. He never was able to relax until he sat down next to the guy. It was a curse. He had been able to see the dead ghost around even worse, the popular girl, Rianne.
The girl had good luck despite having that much ghost around her. He always observes her with interest.
But today, when he approached the guy for his own amusement, he found it calming being near the guy. The existence of ghosts was gone once he went near the guy.
It is only a guess but it's either the guy has special power or his presence is stronger than those ghosts which make them disappear from this place.
Either way, it's good for Franz.
He can sleep peacefully by being next to the guy.
~~
But when he sleeps next to me, I don't think I can sleep well. Maybe because he looks so peaceful that I am afraid I might snore and disturb him. I just decide to wake up and the screen appears.

Age: 16 Years Old
Status: Single
Bio: Was blessed with the power to see ghosts. Wasn't interested in dating due to the amount of female ghosts he had seen all his life. The ending of the comic is the female lead manages to remove every ghost near her with his help and she falls for him. He gave the girl a chance and they ended up together.'
Typical comic in our country I must say. All the chapters are them against me and out of nowhere, the ending is them against some ghosts…
I am scarier than the ghost I supposed.
Actually, the story would stay the same if they removed the power plotline…
James arrives with my food and silently puts it in front of me before leaving to make sure Franz sleeps peacefully. Aren't you supposed to do that to me only?
