However, my question was soon answered. On the second day of school, we arrived at school early to wait for our class teacher. As the seats had not been arranged yet, everyone sat wherever they wanted.
I chose a seat in a corner, and for some reason, no one was sitting around me. Shen Xiaoxi had become acquainted with several people, and was chatting and laughing with them.
Although the school had just started, many girls in the class noticed Xia Nuo from the next class. Shen Xiaoxi was talking about Xia Nuo's past with a smile, and many girls surrounded her and chattered about Xia Nuo. Those girls who thought Xia Nuo was very handsome formed an alliance at the first time. Shen Xiaoxi was like a leader, attracting more and more girls to her side.
In fact, sometimes I envy Shen Xiaoxi because I can never become like her, being the focus of the crowd wherever she goes, like a real princess.
All I can do is envy.
Just as I was daydreaming, a tall and thin boy in black clothes walked into the classroom. His eyes swept around and finally fell on my face.
His expression was still cold, his eyes were mocking, and the smile at the corner of his mouth seemed so malicious.
It's him!
I froze in place. Could this nasty guy be my classmate?
I don't want to be his classmate, not at all! I even have the urge to go to the teacher's office to apply for a class change. Because being in the same class with such an annoying guy will definitely make my life a nightmare for the next four years.
The classroom suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
A girl exclaimed quietly: "Wow, so handsome, so cool!"
Handsome?
Is it cool?
I sat in the back corner of the classroom, looking at him from across the rows. He was indeed very good-looking, but the only impression he left in my mind was that he had a mouth that could say nasty things.
He raised his foot and walked slowly towards me, then put his schoolbag on the empty seat next to me and looked down at me: "Hello again, little butterfly, I am Shu Nian, please give me your guidance."
Originally, I thought being in the same class with Shen Xiaoxi was a bad thing, but God always had a way to make things worse for me. That was, making me meet this annoying boy named Shu Nian again when I was in the most embarrassing moment.
I stood up with my schoolbag and planned to change seats, but when I stood up, I found that the classroom was already full and everyone's eyes were vaguely looking at Shu Nian.
When I stood there, I immediately attracted a lot of attention.
I'm really not used to being exposed to the public's sight. It makes me feel uncomfortable as if I'm being pricked by needles all over my body.
I had no choice but to sit down silently and meet his mocking gaze.
I turned my head away and didn't want to look at him. I just prayed in my heart that when the teacher arranged the seats, he would not let me sit at the same table with this guy.
Just as I was thinking this, there was another commotion in the classroom. I looked up and saw a sunny and handsome boy and a girl with beautiful eyes walking into the classroom together.
It is really pleasing to see two people like that standing together.
Shu Nian, who was sitting next to me, saw me staring blankly at the two people and snorted coldly: "Little Butterfly, if you keep staring at them like that, you might as well drop your eyeballs!"
I looked away, deciding not to bother with him.
The classroom was noisy, the girls were busy forming cliques and the boys were busy calling each other brothers, but no matter which class it was, there always seemed to be a few people who were not sociable, such as me and the guy next to me.
From the beginning till now, several girls came to talk to him, but he always ignored them. Soon, he became like me, no one cared about him, like a piece of paper abandoned in a corner, making people completely forget our existence.
Listening to the conversations of people around me, I learned that the girl who just came in was called Su Nan, and the boy who came in with her was called Gu Haoyu.
I don't know why, but I inexplicably like that girl named Su Nan. Although she, like Shen Xiaoxi, quickly starts talking and laughing with everyone, my intuition tells me that she is different from Shen Xiaoxi.
She gives people a feeling like the sun, warm and lively.
The head teacher came late half an hour later. He was a young man who had just graduated from college. He wrote two big words on the blackboard with chalk - Ren Chao.
"Just call me Teacher Ren. I will be the head teacher of your Class 4. Let's study together from today. I hope you have a happy campus life." He wore a pair of framed glasses and his white teeth were exposed when he smiled.
After Teacher Ren finished his opening remarks, he rearranged the seats.
Fortunately, Shu Nian doesn't sit at the same table with me; unfortunately, his seat is right behind me.
I really wanted to tell Teacher Ren to change my seat, but I didn't take even a single step until after school.
However, the school was finally over, and Shen Xiaoxi quickly left the classroom with a group of girls, chatting and laughing. When I walked out with my schoolbag, there were no people in the classroom.
Shu Nian followed me slowly, and I subconsciously quickened my pace, not wanting him to get close to me.
"Little Butterfly, do I eat people?" His voice always carried a hint of mockery, cold and lonely, making people inexplicably irritated, "Why are you walking so fast?"
"Of course I'm going home!" I couldn't help but answer, "Also, whether I walk fast or slow is my own business. It has nothing to do with you."
"Tsk tsk, so cold!" Shu Nian still caught up with me, " After all, we were alumni before, do you think I would do anything to you? You overestimate yourself, little butterfly? No matter what I want, I should find Shen Xiaoxi!"
I paused and subconsciously clenched my fists. I wanted to say something, but in the end I just loosened my fists weakly.
"It's up to you, do whatever you want!" I whispered, no longer looking at him, and stared at the road ahead.
"Shu Nian, Shu Nian!" Just as I reached the school gate, I suddenly heard a girl's enthusiastic voice coming from afar. I wanted to take this opportunity to quickly get rid of Shu Nian, but he didn't mean to stop and wait for the girl to approach, and still followed me step by step.
The girl ran over quickly, breathing heavily, with her ponytail combed high and her eyes sparkling.
She ran to Shu Nian and said with some complaints: "I'm calling you, why are you in such a hurry? Wait for me, let's go together!"
Shu Nian turned his head to glance at the girl, his face cold and his eyes distant: "I have no obligation to wait for you to leave together, I don't know you well."
The smile on the girl's face froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.
Apparently, this was not the first time that Shu Nian treated her so coldly.
She smiled disapprovingly and said, "Hey, you little bastard, after all, we grew up together! In layman's terms, we are childhood sweethearts!"
"Growing up together means we've walked the same few paths. Don't use this excuse to get close to me next time." He said, and suddenly grabbed my arm, pulling me forward quickly.
I struggled hard, but he was stronger than me.
"Hey, what are you doing? We are really unfamiliar with each other! I don't want to go with you at all." I shouted in a low voice, "Shu Nian, let me go!"
I looked back and saw that girl was still standing there, looking at me with complicated eyes.
I was stunned. Her eyes looked strange. She didn't look like she was looking at a girl she just met. There was a hint of hatred and jealousy that I couldn't understand, as well as a hint of helplessness and sadness, as if I had taken away something very important from her.
I suddenly felt very wronged. What does Shu Nian's treatment of her have to do with me?
Why are you looking at me like that?
"Are you sick?" I was so angry that I didn't even bother to think about what I was saying. "Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I'm saying?"
He loosened his hand, stood in front of me, stared at me with cold eyes, and said, "Haha, I thought a coward like you would never resist in your life!"
"That's none of your business!" I shouted, "Don't follow me anymore. Goodbye!"
I grabbed my bag and turned to leave.
Why do such unreasonable people exist?
I turned into the alley and walked into the neighborhood where I live. For some reason, I subconsciously turned my head back.
That annoying guy was following me slowly with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"You're a stalker!" I couldn't help it any longer. "Why are you following me?"
"You feel too good about yourself, little butterfly!" He gave me a very disdainful smile, "Follow you? Don't be ridiculous, it just happens that my family lives here too."
"Impossible!" I quickly denied it, but then I realized that it was not impossible.
Because I can't remember the last time I played with the kids in the same yard. And, he must not live too far away to show up at my doorstep with his dog so late that night!
It's just that I'm too slow and stupid, so I can't think of it and don't believe it.
After returning home and eating in silence, I hid in my room.
I opened the window of the room and looked down from the second floor. The alley was always very quiet at night.
A dog was walking towards me from a distance. I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw a young man leading a big dog, slowly walking from the dark alley to the street light.
He raised his head and looked at me. I wasn't sure if he was smiling at me, because the moment he looked at me, I lowered the curtains and hid myself behind them.
It turns out that the annoying Shu Nian is really the boy who threw me a tissue with his body temperature in the dark night when I was so desperate that I didn’t know what to do.
