"But ma'am, can you ask someone else to replace my partner with Ian? Ian certainly does not want a partner with me. Isn't that Ian?" Chloe glanced at Ian beside her, coding the young man to say 'yes'.
A few seconds Ian was still silent, that blood red Netra looked sharp.
"I want to come...If paid," Ian's words were quite short. The reflex made Chloe look at him.
What'sthis!? Why is Ian a calculation!? Did the young man cooperate with the principal to get him cornered and unable to dodge anymore??? Chloe couldn't even believe Ian would say that. It turned out that Ian besides looking cold and not talking much, he was also calculating. Truly a troublesome young man.
Suddenly the sound of a small laugh was heard from the headmaster, a happy laugh because his students agreed to join the Tennis Sports. "Of course you will get a prize and get paid even if you don't win the race. The gift was given out of gratitude from all the school residents for representing our school,"
"You've already registered so you can't possibly refuse or pass your assignments to other students. It was the same as being irresponsible, "Add the Headmaster with a small smile.
Chloe who heard it could only sigh in resignation, Ian probably wouldn't mind because he would still be paid even if he lost the race. But for Chloe to represent the school is the same as to honor the name of the school, to be the best among others. And he has to train hard to become a National Champion.
"Then the ma'am, before deciding something discussion used to be the same person. If this is the case, I also have to put in extra effort. Hopefully Ian can be counted on as my Partner," thought Chloe glancing at the principal and Ian alternately.
"The race will start in 2 weeks. So I've spoken to your Sports teacher as a guidance counselor, you'll be training at the GYM every second hour of rest with your friends from the next class who won the Tennis Race a year ago. You guys are ready, right?"
"I'm willing," said Chloe and Ian in unison.
"Good, thank you for representing our school. You can go back to class now,"
"I'm sorry, '" Chloe leaned over and followed Ian, and Ian walked out of the room first.
**************
"Why are you even calculating!? Wouldn't it be better that the task was given to others!?" Chloe's protest after they were a little away from the headmaster's room, walking in a quiet corridor because the lesson hours had already begun.
Ian did not reply, the young man walked leisurely in front of Chloe with both hands inserted in his pants pocket, ignoring the blue-blonde girl's question.
"Hm...As usual, she always ignored you Chloe, "Holy flying beside Chloe just shrugged.
"Argh...Can't he answer when asked!? Always be quiet like that, long can I just duct tape his mouth so I can not talk forever!?" Chloe was exasperated to death by Ian, The young man always ignored her when Chloe asked. Sometimes the red-faced young man will only say if he has been pushed into his puddle.
"She doesn't want to talk too much Chloe, too irritably,"
Chloe gave a rough snort, The path hastened slightly in order to catch up with Ian who is already a bit far ahead of her. I want to talk back to the young man.
"Dian! I'm talking to you! You're a human or a wall huh!? If asked, it must be answered Woi! Or do you want to be considered a walking inanimate!?" Chloe finally let out her Sarcasm, so irritated by Ian's always silent attitude and ignored her.
Ian suddenly stopped walking making Chloe who was behind the young man accidentally hit the back of the young man with red streaks.
Ian remained silent, until the young man's voice distracted Chloe from her nose.
"If you don't want to, you better back off" said Ian without looking a bit at Chloe. He stood quietly in his place. "I don't need a cowardly partner like you either!"
JJEEDDEER!
It was as if there was lightning in broad daylight hitting Chloe's heart, although this was only the first time Chloe had heard Ian's words exceeding 3 words but all of those words were so piercing and sharply aimed at Chloe. A few seconds Chloe was petrified on the spot, too shocked to be called a coward by the young man.
While Ian again continued his leisurely journey, as if nothing had happened.
"What said!? A coward!? Me? Who does she think she is!? The son of a rich man who could only humiliate others!? He's gone too far! This time I can't forgive her anymore!" Chloe's two hands clenched tightly to each of her left right. For a moment Chloe stared intently and cross-eyed at Ian's back in front of her. Then without wasting much time, Chloe caught up with Ian at a quick pace.
"Chloe stop! Calm yourself! Don't get carried away by emotions!" Holy is in a panic when Chloe catches up with Ian with an excited emotion, The System bites her frantic finger. She can't get close to Chloe if Chloe's in such an angry fashion, Holy is afraid of being affected as well.
"Lian Maxwell! Stop there!"
Ian ignored Chloe's call to stop him, and Ian didn't care about the girl around him. It makes Chloe even more furious and emotional.
The young man in red was still walking leisurely until suddenly he felt someone pull his hand, then pulled his school tie until slightly bent to look directly at the eye with the puller. Yeah, it's Chloe with the expression of her son like a street thug who wants to run over people.
"Damn Sound! I'll prove that I'm not a coward like you said I was! I'm going to take that race, and show you my true abilities. That's when I'll beat you!" Chloe looked intently and in the red Netra Ian was right in front of her, so close that Chloe could see her own reflection in Netra the young man.
"One more! I don't need a cold, arrogant partner like you either. You can't help me and you'll only be a burden to me. So you better back off! Goddamnit!"
After taking out all her junk, Chloe fiercely pushed Ian away from her. Some time Ian had staggered back due to Chloe's push but fortunately not to fall. The young man was able to keep his balance well, only his red Netra was fixed on Chloe with a hard to decipher gaze.
Without saying anything else Chloe went to class from the presence of the young man, passing Ian just like that. While Ian was still in his place, his red Netra followed the steps of Chloe who had already left without budging in the slightest. I really can't believe that Chloe would challenge him like that.
The girl's words were also no less piercing and sharp than her, The girl's attitude was similar to someone who always appeared in Ian's dreams. But Ian wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence or not.
Of course Ian is not sure that he can work well with Chloe because they are at odds right now.
"We'll see, which one of us is the best at training and the next race" said Ian coldly, grunting slightly.
He continued his journey back to class relaxed.
