Chapter 803 - School (1/2)

Joseph found that his classmates were rather nice and friendly.

Hope and Fern had been his first friends and they made sure that he was introduced to the class. Luckily, Hope didn't tell them about him being in TokTik, but in the end, that didn't matter … because it turned out that some of his male classmates were his followers as well.

They started talking about workouts and diets, while the girls were whispering with each other from afar at first. They didn't know about the TokTik, but did search it up the moment they found out about it.

It was hard to imagine that the one in the video was the one in their classroom, but the reality was right in front of them. When they first saw the videos, they had thought it had been touched up but when they looked at the real deal in front of them, they realised that the video didn't do him justice.

They watched as Joseph laughed with the guys, and their knees turned to jelly.

He was so nice! So friendly!

Soon, they mustered up the courage to go over and talk to him as well.

By the end of the class, Joseph had become the darling of the class.

He was good-looking, a joker, friendly, and overall, a very nice guy. The best thing was, this treasure was theirs before he was known to the rest of the school when it reopens next year.

”Sorry guys, but I've got to go,” Joseph said, standing up, ”Thanks for sharing the books with me.”

It was kinda weird to be hanging out in the classroom after the lessons were over as well, and Joseph didn't think anything much by it - not realising that people were dilly-dallying in going out because of him.

Once he started to head out, so did everyone else.

Lianne was waiting for her brother impatiently at one side, hidden away from the main area. Well, hidden away from plain sight though she could see the entrance of the school.

The last thing she wanted was to somehow bump into the weirdo that had tried to get her attention earlier. If she was just standing there waiting for her brother, she would be a sitting duck.

Yet, as usual, he was late.

Granted, not by much but when one was used the rules of the household, it was late. Their Dad was the type that if you arranged to meet at 1pm, then it meant you were ready and waiting 15 minutes earlier.

Of course, since Joseph had classes, Lianne had timed it so that he would be out within 10 minutes.

It had already been 20mins.

Lianne sighed but figured that she should give him some leeway this time. After all, he was making new friends and all. She studied the school building again and sighed.

Well, school is school.

She wondered when her mother would be back. It would start being fun then.

Time passed by quicker than one would think.

A new year, and a new routine in life.

As Lianne expected, her brother became popular.

That wasn't a surprise, really, but what she did find surprising was how he seemed to fling himself with gusto seemingly into every activity in the school.

He was also the ultimate 'nice guy' that it was nauseating, because she had to listen to people talking about him. Lianne thought his popularity was exaggerated, truth be told, and was more likely due to the fact that he was a novelty.

It should die down sooner or later.

Lianne hoped it was sooner than later.

The worst thing was, with him having such a high profile, she became known as well. Known by association, that is - which basically meant, due to her association with him, she was known.

Urgh.

And she also found out who that stupid idiot was.

Yes, she used both 'stupid' and 'idiot' to describe him, indicating just how much she thought of him being so.

Luckily, he didn't figure out that the person he had seen was her.

He didn't know everyone in the school, so it was only natural that he wouldn't have considered her being that person.

So how did she know who he was?

Simple.

He was the one mouthing away asking every curly-haired girl that he saw as to whether 'she was the one that was sketching' the other day. He even put up posters in the school, eliciting some oohing and aahing from fans.

Of course, he began to be dubbed as the one who was looking for his 'one' or something. Some romantic sh*t that people started making up.

The moment Lianne heard about that, she started straightening her curls. She didn't do much that she would have straight hair, but just enough so that it was wavy rather than the usual curly mop that she had.

It made her even more agitated at the stupid fool because she had to spend extra time every morning to do her hair.
