Chapter 74 - Sorry For Admiring Another Man (1/2)

Is it still possible for me to dodge this question? Should I pretend to be deaf? Is it too late for me to pretend that I have class now? Where is the bell when I need it? God, I miss high school bell...

”Don't try to avoid the question.” His voice snapped me out to reality. I didn't even need to fake my expression as I was sure I put on a stoic expression on my face. Whatever reaction he caught in my eyes --and I was sure he could see my eyes wavering slightly as he was blessed with those incredibly amazing sharp eyes-- I wouldn't deny it.

I had no reason to do so.

So be it, if he wanted to know about Tom. But, I would be passive, just answering his questions. I wouldn't say anything unless he asked it.

”So, what did she mean? Is there any boys in your dormitory?” Sanji asked. His eyes peered through my eyes, trying to figure out what I was thinking, probably.

”Yes.” I replied. ”And no.” I added.

He frowned. ”A ghost?” He asked. I was not surprised he would think so. After all, we had one thing in common; sixth sense.

I shrugged my shoulders. Tom was not particularly a ghost, though.

”But, I didn't see anything attached to you.” His frown deepened.

That's new, but I guess I was right about Tom was not an ordinary ghost.

”Is he bothering you?”

I shook my head.

”Then why did she mention about him? Do you have any relationship with this particular ghost?”

His eyes were looking straight at me, probably wondering the answer himself by searching for it in my eyes. ”I don't know.” I shrugged again.

”Jane, you know you can tell me anything, right? Don't hide anything for me. What if it becomes bigger and endangers yourself? I prefer you to tell me anything. Especially since your sixth sense has not been fully opened.” Sanji softened his voice, trying to persuade me.
