Chapter 36: The Exchange Student
The day passed, and now it's time for the temporary transfer students from Daniella's school.
On the same day, Charice did not go to her school because she had to go to the other school, and the male student from there will now also enter Daniella's school and their classroom. Even before changing students, Daniella's teacher was reminded of Charice's whereabouts and what she needed to do while she was there.
Everyone is waiting for their temporary classmate. Their teacher entered the classroom with the male student, but Daniella was lying her arms on the desk with her head on top of it and closed to fall asleep, so she did not see or even hear that their teacher had arrived and was with her teacher, the exchange student.
"Good morning, class! I'm glad you got to meet Alexander Montemayor. " She turned to where Alexander was. "Introduce yourself for a moment, Alexander."
He bowed his head slightly. "Good morning! I'm Alexander, and it's nice to meet you all. " He even smiled at all the students.
"You can sit in the vacant seat." It pointed to where Charice's chair was. "And I'll just get something in the office for a while. Don't make any noise because the other room has already started their lesson." The teacher left while Alexander was still on his way to the chair.
As Alexander walked, he noticed Daniella's head on the desk. "Is she okay?" Alexander asked Bree.
Bree looked at Daniella confusingly, and then she tried to wake up. "Hey! Daniella, wake up; we have class."
Daniella woke up and actually fell asleep while sitting. She adjusted her seat before opening her eyes, but when her eyes fully opened, she looked straight at Alexander. She frowned and noticed that he was in Charice's chair. "I didn't know that Charice was a man now."
Bree yelled at me. "Crazy! Your brain is still asleep. He's our new classmate right now."
"Really? Why didn't I know he was coming in now?"
"Because you're asleep."
While Alexander was just looking at the two of them and looking for a time to break into their conversation, "I'm Alexander," he suddenly said, so Bree and Daniella stopped.
Bree just nodded at him, but Daniella smiled and even held out her hand to Alexander. "I'm Daniella." He shook Daniella's hand. "And this is my friend Bree."
Alexander smiled at Bree, but she ignored him. "Nice meeting both of you."
"Are you human?" I suddenly asked Alexander.
He looked at me in surprise. "Yes, I'm human. Why? "
To Daniella's curiosity, she stood up and reached for Alexander's face, touching his cheeks, which surprised him because of Daniella's stare as well. "Yes, you're human, but why are you so perfect?"
So that's just what Daniella did, because Alexander really doesn't look human. It’s like a character in the book who lives and breathes, is tall, has white skin, beautiful eyes that seem unreal because of their light brown color, thin eyebrows, small lips, and a very pointed nose. Even his hair is a bit long, so it looks like a character from a book came out of it.
Bree pulled me back into my chair. "What are you, Daniella? Why are you acting like that? Remember he's a new student, so don't feel too close to him." Alexander heard it.
"Don't worry, it's okay with me."
Bree looked at Alexander. "Not to me," she replied seriously to Alexander.
Suddenly, Daniella and some students heard a loud noise, but they went back to what they were doing, but not Daniella. She's now looking at William with a frown on her forehead and looking straight at William, and it looks like the noise came from the book that William dropped, but Daniella wondered why it was so loud if he had just dropped the book.
"I'm going to sit down; our teacher might come back." Alexander sat down, but their teacher had still not come back.
Bree put her hand on her chin. "It looks like someone isn't happy with the new student."
I looked at Bree. "Who is it, you?"
"I feel like I'm one, but the person is here with us now."
I frowned. "The number of students that are here, Bree, so who?"
"The one holding the book." Bree was referring to William, but when Daniella turned her gaze to her classmate, William let go of the book.
"Who among them does not like the transfer student?" I saw nearly five students holding books, and William was no longer with them.
Bree simply smiled at what William did because, despite appearing to be preoccupied with something else, he appeared to be listening to the two of them and Daniella. "I think that person doesn't want us to know. Just forget it." Their teacher arrived, and the class started.
It's breaktime, and Daniella and Bree go to the garden for a snack. But they don't expect Alexander to go there and sit with them at the same table. "Excuse me?" Bree's said.
"I'm sorry if I just sat here right away, but you're the only one I can talk to, so can I join here?"
I smiled. "It's okay, don't worry; Bree isn't in the mood, but it's okay with it."
Bree gave Daniella a bad look, and Alexander saw it. "It looks like she didn't want me here."
I turned my gaze to Bree, but I saw that she was smiling. "How could she not be happy?" I asked Alexander because Bree was smiling now.
Alexander shook his head at the sudden change in Bree's facial expression. "Maybe what I saw was wrong."
"Is that so? Have you eaten yet?"
But with Daniella's excessive focus on Alexander's face, she was a bit surprised by the person who suddenly sat down next to her. Daniella turned and saw that it was William with food on his hand.
"Do you need anything?" I asked and wondered.
"Nothing," he simply replied.
"Why are you here then?"
William looked at me lazily. "You don't own the chair and table here in the garden. I'll sit where I want," he replied rudely.
Alexander suddenly spoke. "Excuse me! You're the older brother of Daniella? " Alexander asked while looking at Daniella.
A frown appeared on William's forehead. "He's not; he is our classmate too. Didn't you notice him earlier in the classroom?" Daniella said.
" No."
William's forehead furrowed even more, and his two eyebrows were about to come together at what Alexander said. Daniella noticed this right away, so she just changed the subject. "Alexander was talking to me a while ago, so maybe he didn't notice you." I even smiled at William.
Eventually they quietly ended their breaktime and re-entered the classroom.
