I'm Not an Old Virgin
Chapters 23.3
"Hey, this is a monster boy." Ai's head bowed silently listening to the loud whispers behind her.
A stiffened hand holding a color pencil he forced to keep moving coloring an artificial tree that was not too attractive.
"What do you mean, why did you say Ai was a monster boy?-"
"Hustt.." The boy's words were cut off by his playmates.
"Don't say his name out loud, if he hears you want the monsters in his house to come to you?" Said interrupting.
The boy did not believe it but because his friend had forbidden him he was forced to shut his mouth.
"Ai is not a monster because the monster face is very ugly while Ai is a beautiful girl!" The other boy defended Ai.
She is happy to be friends with Ai because Ai is a good girl and not naughty like the other children.
"Hey, it was precisely because she was beautiful that she was referred to as a monster. If you don't believe me, ask her what gender she is!" The girl looked confident and stubborn.
"You fool, what do monsters have to do with gender!" The girl with thick curly hair was angry because her playmates were called monsters.
Ai is clearly human.
"You are stupid! teacher Dinda once told me that monsters have two genitals, male and female. Ordinary humans have only one genitals!" Girls who like to gossip are not happy to be considered stupid.
In fact, he thought that they were the fools for not being able to see Ai's true face.
"Lying, Ai is a good girl and she can't possibly be a monster!" Said the curly-haired girl was still stubborn.
"I said just ask him if you don't believe me! Ask how many genitals he has!" The girl challenged her unbelieving friends.
"Let me. I've been wanting to hunt monsters like the ones on my mom's TV." Said the boy as he walked closer to Ai who was still lowered to force himself to draw.
Though his heart was very sad to hear all the accusations of friends to him.
"Hey, is it true that they said you were a monster boy?" Ask the boy directly.
Ai was shocked, she lowered her head even deeper recalling the bitter experience she had felt in the orphanage.
There either the children or the caretakers of the parlour called him a monster boy. They censured him, excommunicated him, and sometimes he got a wound on his body just because the caretaker wanted to vent his anger.
Ai was in pain, she was afraid that the children in her school were doing the same as the orphanage. He was afraid of being left behind and lonely.
"Why are you quiet? Didn't you hear my question?" The boy kicked Ai's desk leg starting to get annoyed.
"I'm not.." Ai's whisper held back her sobs.
"So no, but can you tell us how many genitals you have in your body?" The boy still could not believe Ai's short answer.
Ai once again fell silent, her pencil-wielding hand was now under the table holding tightly to her school skirt.
"Why don't you answer?" The girl who started the gossip came over to Ai.
He had been very disliked by Ai since the attention of his friends and teachers fell on Ai. Everyone loves Ai and she doesn't like that because she's rich, she's beautiful, she's smarter than Ai.
He is more capable than Ai!
