Chapter 67
First day of school isn't going as expected Jeff raised his brows upon hearing Sarah's words. Isn't today supposed to be a joyous day? After all, this is his first day of school.
Since Jeff stepped foot into All Stars today, he has been receiving a lot of stares from everyone. Whether it was admiration or hatred, Jeff didn't care and only made way to complete the necessary things.
After visiting a few offices, he realized that the stares were getting too much but being the nonchalant kind, he ignored the stares and made his way to his department.
The people there aren't so welcoming too and it's really getting frustrating.
"Why would I insult him?" jeff posed a query in response. i "It is what the forum says! You insulted Professor Sean and switched departments from the department of modern medicine! At this rate, our department will not survive much longer," David said.
David was a third-year student and some years older than Jeff. Having seen Jeff twice before they met in school, he was not particularly fond of him. The I first time he saw him was on Emily's birthday when Jeff was dancing with her.
The second time was in a bar. He saw him with Jamie Scavo and also hooked up with a girl. In David's view, Jeff is a womanizer and a country boy who just
got lucky. And he's using his intelligence to get girls.
"Are not we meant to function Ne similarly to other school departments?" Jeff ignored David and turned to face Dr. William. "I mean, other departments are really organized, but we are sitting here talking about pointless stuff." David seemed annoyed by Jeff's words.
This womanizer is starting to get on his nerves. ""Are you certain there is not a reason you selected this department? We are like a special department here and we've been striving to be like other departments too. And we are going to prove ourselves this semester, we don't want anyone to ruin it for us." "We've all been striving for this
department for years" Dr. Williams cut in before Jeff could answer. "We have a new person among us. There's no need to say things because of the rumors.
This is the beginning of a new Section.
Let's hope all our hard work pays off." Dr. Williams said a few words to them, and Jeff quickly departed.
Moving through the bustling college hallways toward his next class, he was filled with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.
Jeff immediately caught the attention of his fellow students with his pleasing appearance and composed manner as soon as he walked into the classroom.
Whispers spread across the room like wildfire, igniting curiosity. HisContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
reputation as a genius who effortlessly aced the admission tests and college entrance exams preceded him; adding an air of curiosity to his allure.
In addition to being dubbed a genius, Jeff is currently being called a haughty, conceited country bumpkin because of an anonymous post made in the school forum. They commented about Jeff's arrogance and how he treated Professor Sean.
"I can't believe he chose the traditional medicine department. Does that mean he's the only freshman in the department?" "Maybe I should change my department too, to see his handsome face every day." "What's the use of his handsome face when he's arrogant?"
Whispers went around but Jeff pretended to be oblivious to everything happening around him. = While Jeff found solace in his phone, the class suddenly fell silent as the door swung open. Three students swaggered into the room, exuding confidence and charisma.
Jude, the boy in the middle, had an air of arrogance about him as he stood tall and seemed to think the world revolved around him.
Jude was supposed to be in a second year but due to some reasons, he didn't write the last section exam and had no choice but to repeat the same section.
Jude is from a well-off family and he's quite well-known in school for his bossy personality and arrogance.
He was, in fact, a bully.
"Welcome, everyone! I hope you're all ready to embrace this new semester with open minds!" Jude announced, his voice commanding attention.
Jeff's eyes flickered briefly towards Jude, acknowledging his presence, before returning to his phone.
Jude's eyes narrowed, his interest immediately piqued by the nonchalant genius in their midst. He was also aware of the rumors swirling around this genius and it was just the first day of school.
Jude, intent on making his presence known, strode over to Jeff's desk.
"Hey, genius," Jude sneered, his voice dripping with condescension. "I'm introducing myself, yet it seems like
you couldn't care less. How rude." Jeff raised his eyes slowly, studying Jude with an apathetic gaze. The glimmer of nonchalance danced in his eyes, hidden beneath an impenetrable mask of indifference.
Jude, feeling the urge to show off his power, chose to playfully tease Jeff by pulling at his collar and ruffling his hair. In an instant, Jeff's patience wore thin, his calm demeanor giving way to a flicker of annoyance.
He swiftly grabbed Jude's hand, firmly squeezing it, the unexpected strength in his grip catching Jude off guard.
With a clear, unwavering gaze, Jeff pushed Jude away, his voice cool and commanding. "I suggest you back off."
Before the tense moment could escalate further, the sound of footsteps filled the classroom, the lecturer's arrival serving as a much-needed interruption to the brewing conflict.
The atmosphere in the room shifted, the tension dissipating as the students hastily took their seats, their focus now on the beginning of the lesson.
Jeff exhaled softly, the adrenaline coursing through his veins beginning to subside. He returned to his seat, his eyes drifting back to his phone, but not before catching a flash of defiance in Jude's eyes.
Jude found Jeff's personality amusing and it was even more amusing because the boy didn't know who he was. He's
going to show him a taste of college and how not to interfere with the wrong people. ——
