Chapter 375: So You Are Blackmailing Me Now?
Around eight months have passed since Das enrolled in high school. The Third on paper, but the second semester started around two months ago.
Despite being against it at first, he stayed here for six months.
'The only reason I am still attending this school is that I don't need to make excuses to mom every time I go out. I can ditch the classes anytime', Das thought, as he walked through the hallway.
'But everything is so boring. Maybe I should seriously drop out?' Das thought as he opened the door of the classroom.
"Hey", someone tapped on Das' shoulder.
Das looked back to see a boy wearing the same clothes as him.
"You are Das, right?", inquired the boy.
'What the fuck? Why does everyone keep talking to me even though I am trying to ignore them?'
Annoyed, Das opened his mouth and said, "No, I am not Das"
The boy tapped on his shoulder as he said, "Come on, I know you are Das"
"What do you want?"
"My name is… nevermind that. What will you do by knowing my name"
"..."
Noticing Das' intense glare, the boy cleared his throat and said, "The teacher is calling you?"
"What teacher?"
"Samuel"
'The guy I met when I entered the counseling room that day?'
"What does he want from me?"
"I don't know. He said he wants you there before the school ends, "
Das shrugged the boy's hand and said, "I am not free for anyone. Tell him if he wants something from me, he better come and talk with me himself"
"Wow. So savage. Alright, I will tell him you said that. See you"
'This school is weird'
Das entered the room and sat on his desk.
"What's with everyone? I am pretty sure I am giving the 'Stay away' vibe, then why is everyone trying to talk with me?"
Das noticed a girl sitting in the first row with her head on the desk.
'That girl is also giving Stay-away' vibe'
Das took out his laptop and started making stats reports.
The door opened as a girl entered the room.
Das was busy doing his work. The girl glanced at Das and slowly tried to approach him.
Das moved his gaze from his laptop screen to the girl approaching him.
The girl quickly turned back and started walking to the girl sitting on the desk with her head down.
"Hey Elena, are you okay?", Virza asked.
"I am not okay", replied Elena.
"Do you want to eat something?"
"I don't"
Virza forced a smile and said, "I will treat you a cake on our way back home"
"I don't want to go home today, "
"Why?"
"Dad will yell again, "
"Are you worried about your low score on your recent exams?"
"They are the lowest"
She patted Elena as she said, "Don't worry. I know you tried your best"
The lunch break ended, and everyone started entering the room.
The classes soon started and ended.
All the classes ended and Das was on his way to the elevator.
He pressed the switch as he heard, "Hey! Wait! Das!"
Das turned around to see Samuel trying to run at him.
"Ah, come on", Das muttered in annoyance.
Das stepped out of the elevator and said, "What do you want?"
Samuel caught up as she took some heavy breaths and said, "I… I… one minute, please"
He took out an inhaler from his pocket.
After he was done using the inhaler, he grabbed Das' shoulders and said, "I want you to do something"
"What?"
"I want you to tutor a girl"
Das turned around and said, "Bye"
"Wait, wait! Hear me out"
'Why do I have to tutor a girl? That's your job'
"Please do it. You have to do it"
"Why does it have to be me?"
"You are the topper"
"What kind of reason is that? There are other toppers beside me. And I don't think I am cut out for tutoring anyone"
'Unless it's Lier', Das thought as he tried to deny Samuel.
"That girl can be expelled"
"Why do I care?"
"She has been through a lot, and she has lost hope in living"
'That sounds like the same case as me', Das thought as he furrowed his eyebrows.
"I want her to enjoy her life"
"What is this?", Das scoffed and said, "A teacher-student relationship?"
"Please mind what you say", the teacher replied with a serious look on his face.
"Alright, how about it? If you tutor her and save her from getting expelled, I will ignore the fact that you go missing sometimes during the class, and sometimes you don't even come to school"
"Tch!", Das clicked his tongue and said, "So you are blackmailing me now?"
"You left me no choice"
Das glared at Samuel as he said, "What will you do if I still don't agree on tutoring a girl?"
"I will tell Angela that you skip classes"
'Dammit!'
"She has trusted me for your care, and I have to report her everything you do"
"Fine, fine!" Das punched the elevator door as he yelled, "I will do it!"

During the lunch break,
Elena and Virza were eating lunch in the canteen.
"First semester results are out, have you checked them?", Asked Virza.
"I got a notice from the teacher to meet him during the lunch break", replied Elena.
"Then what are you doing here?!", shouted Virza.
Elena took a bite and said, "I don't want to go. I will just be yelled"
Virza let out a soft smile as she said, "I will come with you, okay?"
Elena sighed as she said, "Why are you so kind to me?"
"Because we are friends?"
As they were talking, four other girls sat with them.
They were wearing small skirts, and their tops were unbuttoned.
They wrapped their hands around Virza and Elena as one of the girls said, "What are were you talking about?"
