“Hi,” she greeted hietically
His forehead crinkled a little “It’s you again?”
“Yes I think I didn’t get to introduce myself to you the last time you brushed me off I’m Jenna”
He snorted and covered her face with the door of his locker He just ignored what she said and continued to ruh blood pressure but tried to control her teue on what he needs to know to help him clear up his head
“Well, I’et if you’ll agree to give the interview If you let ossips about you You are a celebrity in this university It’s natural that there are a lot of rumors about you because you’re famous You can prove to your schoolmates that the rumors aren’t true or in case that they are, at least, you could give your side of the story to-”
“Shut up, you’re starting to piss ed the door of his locker which startled her
‘Huh! And I’m already pissed with you since forever!’She wanted to shout back at him If only he won’t retaliate, she’d just love to slap all over his face to repay his rudeness
His face does not have any expression when he looked at her again “If you won’t stop bothering me…”
“What? What will you do with onna kick me out? That would be so easy for you, after all your family owns half of this school” She was unable to stop herself
He slowly s me an idea”
Her eyes bulged out at his response
“If you’ll ever bother ain, or even just came near me once, I will do as what you’ve said”
That was like he was ad that rumor about him She was unable to retort in fear that he will do as he just warned
“Dex, honey!” A girl called hie, wearing a spaghetti-strapped blouse, and revealing her shi+ny legs with that micro miniskirt
The woritted her teeth It was not the sa prohibited inside the university, especially where there are a lot of people? She looked around and there are a lot of students ere gawking at them
Jenna was unable to do anything but to walk aearing heavy emotions in her chest
“Monster! Pig!” Jennafei was venting her frustrations while fixing books on their shelves She can’t believe he uy who is as ill-irl from the way he spoke with her
He even warned her that he will kick her out of the school if she ever bother hiain She already reported to Leila what has happened to have a reason to ditch the assignment but Leila made a proposal she can never say no to
“If you will succeed in this assignment, you will becoo On-the-job training So my position will soon be vacant”
As a result, Jenna walked out of the office with mixed emotions She wants to become an editor in chief Every campus writer wants to become one But Dex already warned her If she tries to talk with hiain, not just her dream to be an editor in chief will be in trouble, but even her chance to graduate from this university
She was surprised when someone spoke from her back
“Who is the ?”
“R-Red?” She was surprised at his presence at the library It’s her first ti him here
Red just s pleasure from her astonishment
“Why are you so surprised?” He asked her in his mellow voice
“I’ve been following you for a while now You have been calling each books , et cetera What did the books do to you? Why did you call them names?”
She chuckled “I will never do that to these books”
“So, whose names are those?”
“Never knew that you are a gossipthe books on the shelf
Red looked at the books and opened one at her side “Is it Dex then?”
She looked at Red He did not look at her eyes She has a hunch that he kne his team captain has humiliated her She is just not sure if he was around the second tiht have told him what happened “How did you know?”
He suess”
“I don’t knohat’s up with that beast Snob Rude Intreated like I’irl, not even like a person” She took a deep breath “I just needed an interview I tried being nice and all but he was just a beast” She suddenly stopped and put her hands on her ? She hardly know Red to say those things And he’s even someone close to Dex! Red did not show any reaction on what she have said as he see “Don’t tell him what I just said, ‘kay? Please” She hurriedly pushed her cart away
“Even if you follow Dex day and night, he’ll never take you seriously He won’t talk or give you any attention unless…”
She stopped walking and looked back at hi the book She looked around and went back to his side “Unless what?”
He looked at her To her astonishment, he looked over her, from head to toe She crossed her arms in front of her chest Then he sy I bet you did not think first before you talked to him”
She was about to deny that but he seeht Even if she knew his bad reputation, she did not kno to deal with a guy like hiize on how to deal with him
“Dex is antisocial He won’t talk with just anybody He won’t entertain everyone ants to talk with him He just lets people who took his interest talk to hiet his interest Get his attention first then the rest will follow If you’ll succeed in getting his interest, there is a chance that he will let you take an interview from him”
She looked at Red “Youin his eyes that’s why he did not entertain me, is that correct?”
“Exactly,” he answered while still looking at the book
“So… how can I… get his attention or rather, hoill I look interesting in his eyes?
Red closed the book he’s holding, leaned on the shelf and crossed his arirls like you He really won’t talk to you if you look that way”
She wants to be insulted fro with my appearance?”
He looked all over her again “Lose your glasses Do your hair Put on so”
