Chapter 18

"Who are you calling me cat poop, huh?!" I did not hesitate to get up from my original position to shout at him. That's fine, really, who wants to be called cat litter like that?

"You think?" How easily did he ask that? Seriously, I really want to ruffle his handsome face. Well, I'll admit he's handsome.

"My mother never called me cat poop, you who are nothing to me instead say no. You pig!"

I'm really emotional, my mood since this morning has worsened because of thinking about mother's words, I'm trying to rearrange it to make it a little better. Just meeting Alaska I need to improve my mood first, because I can already guess how the guy is talking to me.

And now, that annoying man had a hand, too. Ah, just die there, damn it!

"Where's my alma mater? Watch out if you don't take it anymore."

Alright, he ignored my cursing and instead brought up a topic that really pisses me off. That alma mater again, my fault too for neglecting to look after it yesterday.

I didn't have time to answer when I saw Leo reach for the paper containing Alaska's jacket. The pair of male blinds were glaring at Leo who seemed to be casually grabbing the jacket, until Alaska pulled it out of Leo's hands.

"I saw you brought this for him, that means you've returned the jacket you borrowed from him. Then what about mine? It's been almost a week and you haven't brought it yet."

His hands folded across his chest, he looked at me while raising an eyebrow. He really looks annoying now, and I'm in the wrong position.

Before I could spit out the words that were caught in my throat, I was already confused by Alaska who gave Leo a meaningful look and a crooked smile. Why those two?

The atmosphere around me seemed to heat up, especially when I found Leo clenching his fist under there. Come on brain, I need you to think more extra now.

"Mm, well, you can send me your address after class, I'll bring the alma mater to your house."

My words succeeded in making Leo turn to me, I could see his face had changed a hundred and eighty degrees. I clearly saw him clench his jaw as he looked at Alaska, then he changed that expression into the smug grin I've always seen.

"Well, since I'm being kind today—" he paused for a moment, he seemed to think, "then you have to treat me to a meal so I can forgive you today." He hooked my neck with his arm, I reflexively hit his arm for him to let me go. Damn, that took my breath away.

"What do you want, huh?!" My words were ignored, he prefers to forcibly pull me away from there in a ridiculous way. It's such a shame, really, all pairs of eyes make me and Leo the center of attention.

"Let go or I scream that you're harassing me!"

Instead of being afraid of my threats, he laughed while ruffling my hair.

"Just do it if you want your photo and mine to be spread all over campus. I know you'd love to be famous with me." The smile plastered on his face really didn't show any burden at all. Why is he? Did he just hit something in the head?

"Let go! I have absolutely no interest in being famous with you, I don't even want to be near you in the slightest. So let me go before—"

"Before what?"

Unlucky! He let go of me but cornered me against the wall, the man's face was even deliberately close to mine. I'm having trouble controlling my breath, I admit I'm nervous, but who is he? Did he think I would fall for his charms? Tch!

"O-of course before—"

"Before what, Miss Angel?" He deliberately cut me off and again narrowed the distance between my face and his. Someone please help me slap that annoying face.

"Oh! Maybe before you liked me— akh!"

I did it! I managed to kick his crotch firmly, I don't care if the seeds will break or bleed, who told me to put me in that position?

All I can hear now is the moan Leo was trying to suppress, his face turning red and I was made to laugh with satisfaction at that. It didn't last long, because I felt a little worried after finding Leo who still couldn't move, the man even looked down at his slowly. Damn, how could I be that scared? I lick my own spit by saying I don't care.

"I-is it that painful?" I didn't hear any answer from him. He didn't even look up at me. If he gets angry then I should be prepared to rush from there before my very existence is threatened. However, if something really happened to him, then I should be prepared to receive charges from him with a case of molestation.

As little or as much as I tried to lower my ego, I bent down to see what expression he was hiding under there.

"Leo, y-you're okay, right?" I have to be patient again because he hasn't made a sound at all.

"Hey, I really didn't mean it like that, I just—"

"Just what, hm?"

I gulped my saliva hard when he suddenly stood up on his feet and grabbed my waist. His irritating smile returned, I could find a smirk on his lips. Was he fooling me by pretending to be in pain.

"You idiot," what?!

"You're a fool to think I'm really in pain. You didn't even feel your kick at all, how about it? I'm already suited for a tv drama, right?"

I managed to get angry, now my face is red, I really want to kick him again so he can't walk, fuck me who will be sued later.

The curse I wanted to say was stuck in my throat, our eyes met but I looked at him with emotion, while he looked at me with a happy face as if he had managed to manipulate my brain.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but he slowly advances his face, I who reflexively slaps his face hard. Succeeding, he let go of me and I stepped back to get out of his reach.

"Who do you think you are? You childish! Just die there, damn it!"

I don't care if my words are too harsh, I'm just trying to calm my anger.
