Free Web NovelChapter 9: Can’t Catch A Break
The birds chirped from afar, the hustle and bustle of the city with its car sirens could be heard. However, on that bright morning. A guy who was wandering aimlessly with panda-like eyes was seen.
"Ugh... my back." He muttered, rubbing his back.
Last night, after being hypnotized and molested by Miria, he tried to provoke Miria, which he thought would make Miria stop doing that.
However, Miria instead turned off the hypnosis, saying, "You will forget what happened just now."
Then, after that, Liam, who finished acting hypnotized, was immediately beaten up.
Miria exclaimed, "Did you really fall asleep while I was teaching you something?! While I was going to great lengths to explain to you, you slept?! You shameless guy!"
Miria continued to hit him, and Liam acted confused, pretending not to know what his childhood friend had done. How the heck could she suddenly act angry when just a minute before she had given him handjobs.
"I-I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened, my memory just skipped. Did I really fall asleep? Miria?"
"What?! Are you making excuses now, huh?!"
Honestly, at that moment, Liam was also a little angry seeing his childhood friend hitting him constantly, but luckily it didn’t hurt too much.
After hitting him, Miria immediately told him to sleep on the floor, not giving him a pillow, mattress, or blanket to sleep on.
It was the most miserable night of Liam’s entire life, the most exhausting night until now, making him look like a zombie on the way to school.
He then arrived at his school and entered his classroom weakly.
Entering the classroom, someone spotted him. Then he waved his hand.
"Yo, Liam. Mornin’ dude." He said, sitting in Liam’s chair.
Liam could only sigh and gesture with his head for him to move away.
"Why’d you look like that?" His friend said, confused. He then moved to a seat right in front of Liam’s chair.
"Look like what." Liam’s voice sounded noticeably tired.
"Look like... I don’t know, dude. Did you ’reward’ yourself too much last night?"
"Quite literally." Liam replied, forcing a smile.
His friend immediately frowned, his face utterly confused.
"The teacher’s here." Liam said, seeing a teacher enter the classroom with many books in hand.
His friend in front immediately said.
"Don’t fall asleep again, dude. I don’t want to deal with the student council president."
"I won’t."
Liam’s answer only confused him more, what had made his friend suddenly change overnight.
Well, his friend didn’t know what kind of bullshit Liam had gone through.
He remembered Miria’s invitation to study together so he wouldn’t be getting low grades in class, and Miria’s ulterior motive that made Liam want to no longer be getting low grades in class.
He didn’t want to repeat that incident again. Therefore, he, now exhausted, tried to pay attention to the lesson explained by the teacher at the front.
After a few hours of learning, the break bell rang.
Ding-Dong.
"Fuhhh... that was hard." His friend said, turning to face Liam.
Only to see Liam, who was no longer functioning, seemingly malfunctioning.
"Liam?" His friend called, making Liam snap back to attention.
Ahh... he didn’t understand any of the lessons.
"Don’t push yourself too hard, Liam."
"Besides, why do you suddenly want to study, Liam? Don’t you always sleep through class?"
His friend didn’t know that Liam just didn’t want to experience the incident at Miria’s house that day anymore.
"Y’know... we’re about to be in senior year soon, and I plan to continue to apply for college. That’s why I’ve had an epiphany now."
"Mhmm... is that so...?" His friend narrowed his eyes, as if disbelieving.
Then, he gave a thumbs-up behind him, pointing at someone in the front seat.
"Then, why don’t you ask Silvia to teach you? Didn’t you say you helped her before?"
Liam’s eyes immediately darted to the front near the window. There sat a girl with long, shoulder-length bluish hair styled in a wolfcut. Her bangs also looked cute from behind.
Liam had once helped that girl by placing her lost study notebook on her desk, which she had been looking for all along. He did it secretly so no one would know.
That was the only good deed Liam remembered, it wasn’t very impactful or anything.
Suddenly, the girl named Silvia turned towards Liam as if sensing his gaze.
Liam quickly averted his eyes, not wanting to be labeled a creep.
"She’s the smartest person in this school academically. Just ask her to teach you."
Hearing that, Liam could only chuckle.
"Who do you think I am? The protagonist of a rom-com? Someone like her would never agree to my request to teach me. She probably forgot I ever helped her, and we have no connection whatsoever."
His friend could only sigh.
"You do you then... I was just giving you advice to quickly improve your grades." freewёbnoνel.com
Then his friend stood up.
"Want to come with me to the cafeteria?"
"Nah... I want to sleep for a bit." Liam was seriously exhausted now.
"Aight then."
Before his friend could take a step, a loud sound suddenly echoed.
Bang!
"Attention everyone!"
A short-haired girl wearing glasses and holding a clipboard, called out to everyone in the classroom.
She was the school’s student council secretary, and for some reason, her gaze immediately fixated on Liam.
Liam felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up.
’What now?!’
