Chapter 80 Punished!
"Why are they looking at us like that...?" Daniela asked nervously, glancing hesitantly at Beatrice. In fact, Beatrice wasn't the only one staring at her aggressively and resentfully... even Adrián, Elías, and Olivia... all her friends were looking at them strangely. She forced a nervous smile. "Everything's okay...
right?" She didn't know where to look. She noticed that it wasn't just her receiving those dark stares—Arthur, Evelyn, and Leslie were also targets of the gloomy looks from all the students... but, as always, her friends didn't seem to care in the slightest. The only one who noticed the stares was Arthur.
He looked around carefully. The air felt heavy, like someone had died recently. But... looking at the tired eyes and lifeless expressions of the students... without a doubt, something happened yesterday. Still, the way they were looking at us—it couldn't have been anything good.
Turning his gaze toward Beatrice... she clutched her head. "Ahh! Where the hell were you?! You damn traitors!" she yelled in anger and frustration, glaring fiercely at all of us. Even a small killing intent slipped from her eyes...
tinged with a hint of madness... something was definitely wrong with her.
Daniela cleared her throat, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't find the words for Beatrice. Out of options, she looked at me with tearful eyes, silently begging me to save her from the situation. "Well..." I furrowed my brow slightly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"We were... on a trip?" Damn, what a stupid response... I internally cringed. Though in my case, it was mostly true. In their case, though, not so much. Last night, when I was thinking on the couch, I felt movement from Leslie, who was the first to notice my presence.
Needless to say, she immediately rushed toward me, hugging me tightly. Evelyn was next, doing the same and climbing onto my shoulders. Lastly, Daniela timidly grabbed my arm... If someone saw this from outside... with the lights off, they'd be scared to death—the shadows of four people in that strange embrace would definitely seem weird.
It was only after a few minutes that they finally let me go, asking why I took so long and if I was okay. Needless to say, they noticed my change in height and, I suppose, attractiveness...
Beatrice's dark gaze fixed on me... she stayed silent for a few moments, then suddenly widened her eyes. "Who the hell are you?" she pointed accusingly at me. Scratching my nose, I replied, "It's me... Arthur," gesturing to myself. Olivia stared at me for a moment too.
"Impossible! The Arthur I know is definitely much uglier..." she said, pursing her lips. "I can hear you, you know... I'm standing right here." What a shameless woman. A little lie doesn't hurt anyone... With a slightly indignant expression, I sighed.
"Fine, what happened yesterday while we were gone?"
Adrián adjusted his glasses, looking around. "It was hell... well, you could say that, but really, it was just a very tough day. Professor Emilia is terrifying..." His body trembled slightly, and he closed his eyes for a few seconds. With a cruel smile, he looked at us darkly. "But things will be much worse for you guys!
You deserve it!" He nodded repeatedly.
"You..." Beatrice glared at the four of us. She hesitated for a moment. "You didn't... do anything indecent, did you?!" She shouted, her cheeks turning a little red as she covered them with her hands. "Now I get it all!" Her eyes sparkled like she had just uncovered the truth of the world.
"N-NO!! It's not what you think!" Daniela was the first to react, her ears turning red instantly as she desperately tried to cover Beatrice's shouting mouth.
Adrien came over and placed a hand on my shoulder, looking me straight in the eye, and nodded. "It's not what you think..." he said. Seriously, his mind escalates so quickly! I may have the mind of an adult but the body of a teenager! I know how to control myself... though sometimes it's really hard...
"Ugh! Damn it... they really make things difficult," I lamented to myself.
"What are indecent things?" Evelyn asked innocently, blinking as she tugged on the sleeve of my uniform. Her beautiful hair moved slightly as she tilted her head, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "You're making this so difficult!" I thought to myself again. But she looks so adorable right now... she's really cute...
"I think it's... when two people hold hands, right! Yeah, that must be it! For the record, Arthur and I have done it many times!" Leslie puffed out her chest proudly as she boasted. She flashed a smug smile at Daniela, who stared at her with her mouth wide open, her golden eyes looking at her as if she were an idiot.
"Oh...!" Meanwhile, Evelyn slightly opened her mouth, her eyes shining with understanding. She quickly moved her hand and intertwined her fingers with mine. "Hmph!" she smiled softly as if she were happy to do something indecent.
"So difficult," I thought again... I couldn't help but see them as innocent young girls sometimes... On the other hand... I raised an eyebrow as I looked at Daniela. She was the only one who got the reference. Daniela's eyes widened, and her cheeks turned even redder than before.
She turned her head away as if trying to hide.
The atmosphere between us grew a little awkward. Feeling a fierce gaze from my side... I extended my other hand, which was quickly taken by Leslie. She put on a proud smile and remained silent.
"..."
Bang!!
The classroom door slammed open, and behind it, a woman with snow-white hair and silver eyes entered with elegance, walking calmly toward her desk. She placed some papers on the table and adjusted her glasses before looking at her students, who were already sitting with their backs straight and heads forward, completely silent. Her cold eyes quickly locked onto the four of us...
but her gaze intensified when it landed on mine. A chill ran down my spine... and cold swept over my entire body. "She's angry!" I thought.
"Students Leslie, Evelyn, Daniela, and Arthur, I want you four in my office after class," she said coldly. "Now, let's begin the lesson!"
