Chapter 1 (Revised Edition)

Crystelyn Winter Shin's POV

All students cleared their way for me to walk freely in the middle of the hallway. They're not doing this out of courtesy but because they are...scared of me.

Every tick of my shoes send them shivers down to their spines. This is way normal in my every single daily life. They were scared of me as if I'm a beast that will kill them in just one flick of my fingers.

“Crystelyn!” I halt in the middle when I heard my best friend's voice.

The crowd groaned in silence when they saw me stop. But in just a single tick of the clock, their eyes sparkled just by staring at my best friend.

There she comes. My bestfriend, Keena. She's holding a bunch of books. Unlike me she's the university's angel. She's approachable and very kind.

A lot of guy wanted to help her carry her thinks but she refused them with a smile.

“Good morning, early bird!” she greeted.

“Morning,” I replied in a cold tone. That's my normal tone and I think she's really used to it because she didn't even react.

She elbowed me and said, “Stop wearing that face. Students are scared of you because of that.”

I frowned. “Really? Including you?”

“Except me ofcourse,” she said and smiled.

“So your not scared of my cold stares?” I asked.

“Nope. My brother's stares are way more scarier than your cold stares.”

I looked at her. I didn't know she has a brother.

“You didn't say any word about that brother of yours,” I said.

She stopped and dig through my thoughts by using her cute little eyes. A weird smirked formed on her face. “Are you interested about my brother, hm?”

“No! Of course not,” I rolled my eyes in disbelief. How could she say that. I just happen to ask her about him because I didn't know she has a sibling.

She playfully twitched his tongue and laugh. “Just by thinking of it. I believe you two can have a harmonious relationship since you're both cold as ice.”

“Keena, seriously?” I winced on her words. She sounds so cringe.

She didn't utter any word but I know something cliché is happening on her head. We stopped near our classroom's door and our mouth were in awed by something wasn't normal.

“Our room is clean? Oh my god this is some sort of miracle!” she shouted.

This is new to me too but I acted that I don't care. I went straight to my chair at the bottom.

“Clarice! Haven't you heard about our new Science and Math professor?”

“Of course. Rumors says that he's so good and so...so handsome. Oh I can't wait anymore.”

“Me too! I'm very excited to meet him.”

“Let's not worry about it Tanya. We're all set anyway.”

I rolled my eyes. Girls and their flirting nature. Haha. How come I didn't have that flirting side. They continued their chitchat while laughing so hard.

As far as I got on this grade. I never tried flirting. And I don't want to. I can't even handle friends, what's more if I'm gonna play around like a cat searching for fish.

Currently in the last year of highschool and I've never been like those normal teenager, spending their highschool happily. I just want to go to school and learn. Isn't that the purpose of schooling?

Kenneath Anthony Parson's POV

I still don't get why they trasfered me here in Southern University. My tito asked me to replace him as a Mathematics and Science teacher. I got no advisory to handle so I agreed. And besides, I want to explore this teaching world.

I walk in, a little bit nervous. I look around my students, who are now almost dropping their jaws while looking at me.

“Good morning!” I greeted them. I surveyed them one by one, and one girl caught my attention.

“Welcome and good morning!”

As they all stood and greeted me back, I can't take my eyes at her.

Her circular angelic face, her long brownish hair, and her hazel brown eyes are very familiar.

Before someone could notice, I immediately shifted my eyes somewhere.

I stood proffesionally and smiled at them. “Thank you everyone. My name is Kenneath Parson, and I'll be your temporary Math and Science teacher,” I said, introducing my self to them.

Some girls gasped and excitement were obviously drawn each on their faces. I can't help but giggle at their reaction.

Afterwards, I ask them their names. They introduced themselves one by one. However, I can sense something is wrong when everyone got silent when the girl beside the window stood.

Crystelyn Winter Shin's POV

I notice it. Just when he stood infront of us, he can't take his eyes on me.

“Omo! It's your turn!” Summer's tiny voice irratated the h*ll out of me.

I stood up, looking at the new teacher by eyes. He shifted his gaze at his watch and then look at me, he probably felt uncomfortable because of my blank stares. Everyone got silent, same goes as usual.

“My name is Crystelyn Winter Shin,” I simply said and took my seat.

Summer followed the process. She told him her name, age, address, and her dreams. Everyone, except from the new instructor, left awed and mesmerized by her introduction. She was trully the angel of this school.

After introducing, Mr. Parson told us his requirements and explained the subjects he will be handling. I sometimes caught him glancing at me but I let him passed. I just hope that those glances don't have any special meaning.

“Ms. Shin, can you define Biology?” I raised my brows at him.

I stood up, and answered, “Biology, bio means life and logy means study. Therefore biology is the study of life.”

“That's right, Ms. Shin!” He exclaimed in happiness, that made me feel awkwardness.

“I'm always right, Mr. Peterson,” I said. His smile faded away like a light in whole darkness. His eyes glinted and I can't explain it anymore. There is something on with this instructor that even if I can see it, I am not able to describe it.

Why do I sense a feeling of familiarity with him? Who is him?
