Adopted Soldier

Chapter 4 - Classes



Alex saw the target shout at him, and call him a weirdo. Everyone looked at the girl surprised, even the teacher looked at the girl stunned.

"Do you know each other Miss Rachel?" David asked a bit confused at the sudden outburst.

Rachel noticed that everyone's attention was directed at her, blushed and shook her head. "Sorry I guess I got the wrong person." Rachel glared at Alex, blaming him for the embarrassment she was facing.

"Ok, why don't you introduce yourself then." David gestured at Alex to make his introduction.

Alex stood in an upright position and was about to salute but stopped himself from doing so. "I'm Alexander Samarita nice to meet you."

Alex felt that his introduction was good, but when he looked at his classmates he felt something was off. Everyone in class thought that the transfer student was too formal or something similar, they couldn't describe what they felt with words.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere David asked Alex to take the extra seat at the back of the class. Once Alex sat down he kept on staring at Rachel. Homeroom was now over and the math teacher entered. The teacher saw that Alex wasn't listening but kept on staring at Rachel.

Infuriated the math teacher wrote a hard math problem she herself had difficulty solving back in her own university days. This problem was well beyond what a High School student is capable of answering.

"Mr. Samarita will you please answer the question on the board." The math teacher saw Alex look at the board once, and went back to looking at Rachel who finally noticed that Alex was staring at her.

She glared at Alex who was staring at her, but Alex didn't bother with that and continued staring as he went near the blackboard.

Everyone was confused as to what the transfer student was doing. Rachel was indeed one of the top beauties of the school, but did she do something to the transfer student to make him this interested in her?

Then the group remembered Rachel's reaction upon seeing the transfer student, she called him a weirdo. Perhaps the two already knew each other and the transfer student already confessed to Rachel.

Alex didn't even look at the blackboard while answering and kept on looking at Rachel. All of his focus was on Rachel at the moment, he needed to understand her basic quirks, and the only way to do that quickly is by watching her.

Alex put down the chalk and returned to his seat still looking at Rachel. The math teacher saw the answer Alex gave and was completely shocked. The answer was correct, and the way he answered the question was in a much more efficient manner than what she knew of.

"Correct..." The math teacher was in a daze the whole subject since she wasn't able to understand how Alex was able to answer so flawlessly.

The next class came and this time Rachel couldn't handle Alex's staring anymore. She raised her hand and told the teacher about her problem with Alex's inappropriate staring.

The teacher decided to make Rachel and Alex switch seats. So that Alex could be situated in the front while Rachel was at the back. Rachel didn't really want to be placed at the back, but right now she just wants Alex to stop staring at her.

Yet when they switched seats, Alex simply turned his head and continued to look at her. Rachel was starting to be creeped out by Alex's actions. The teacher noticing Alex seemingly having no plans to listen to the lesson, he asked Alex twenty questions of different importance, and Alex was able to answer him without facing him. Alex just kept on answering as well as explaining why the question the teacher posed was wrong, all while facing Rachel.

Alex started explaining all the mistakes the teacher said and gave a detail report as to why he was wrong, he did all this while continuing looking at Rachel's every movement.

This kind of scene repeated until recess time, where Rachel pulled Alex out of the classroom and headed towards the roof. Their classmates who saw this were in shock. They stopped moving for a moment and then burst into an uproar. Some boys even started to cry, because they thought that they were losing their Goddess. Some of them tried to follow the two, to the roof. When they got there, the door to the roof was closed. They thought that Alex and Rachel just went to a different place, so they started searching for them in other places.

They didn't know that Rachel simply locked the rooftop door because she knew that some of her classmates would follow them. She then faced Alex with a serious expression.

...

In the Principal office, three teachers stood before the Principal. These teachers were the teachers in Alex's morning classes, they came to the Principal's office to file complaints. They explained the situation they had this morning, they wanted the Principal to do something with the boy called Alex.

The Principal knitted his brows, stroked his tiny goatee and asked.

"Did he made a mistake when answering your questions?"

"No, he answered all the questions perfectly." The three teachers answered almost simultaneously.

"Did he, caused a disturbance that affected the whole class?"

"Aside from that one girl, no he didn't cause a disturbance."

"Then what are you complaining about?" The Principal asked almost frowning.

The three teachers found the behavior of the Principal weird. If it was before, the moment this old man of a Principal heard that there was a disturbance in class, he would immediately call the student that caused the problem and reprimand him/her.

Yet now he was actually defending the student who was actively causing problems.

The Principal looked at the three teachers' confused face and could only sigh. 'As long as Alexander doesn't cause too much of a problem, and he keeps his grades high we cannot move against him. The boy's father actually donated a whole building and proposed to give all students laptops for classes. Alexander's background is obviously not simple, so I can't mess with him as long as he doesn't do anything majorly wrong, he's basically untouchable.

...

Rachel looked at the boy called Alex and observed him. This guy kept on observing her all day, without moving his sight away from her.

Alex was a bit taller than most boys his age, his face was also above average some might even say he was a pretty boy. His body type wasn't too skinny, nor was it too muscular or fat. He was also very smart based on his performance in the previous classes.

Rachel thought that this boy might actually be close to her ideal type if only he wasn't a weirdo that speaks so formally and acts so randomly.
