📻 Finally~ Finally, it's back!!

The eleventh story has arrived with a swoosh~!! 💌✨

Everyone~ Today, a very soft and fresh story from a student has arrived! (⸝⸝˃̶͈̀ꇴ˂̶͈́⸝⸝)

As I read it, I felt frustrated, yet my heart fluttered for no reason...

Vep also shouted "Hey, why are you avoiding them!!" several times. 😂

Today's story title is...

〈Why Are You Avoiding Me?〉

Just why did the storyteller end up with this concern?

Then let's read the story right away~! 🌸

———————————————————————

Hello, Vep.

It's my first time sending a story to a place like this, so it feels a bit awkward...

I am currently a student in my second year of high school, and please call me by the pseudonym Achi.

(Um... I chose this name because I hear a lot that I look a bit 'delinquent-like'... 😂)

The incident began in the spring of my second year of high school, when I suddenly had to move due to my parents' work.

Having to transfer so suddenly, I said my sad goodbyes to my friends at my old school and moved to a new area.

It wasn't as bustling as Seoul, but it was quiet and the scenery was pretty, so I liked it quite a bit.

A few days later, I went to my new school and entered my new class under the guidance of my homeroom teacher.

I gave a brief greeting to my classmates and sat in the empty seat the teacher assigned to me.

Sitting in the seat next to mine was a male student with white horn-rimmed glasses, dark brown hair, and clear blue eyes.

My first impression was just...

'He's handsome?'

That was about it.

Up until then, there were no problems.

The first class started, but since it was my first day, I hadn't received my textbooks yet.

So I carefully reached out to lightly tap the shoulder of the friend next to me...

At that moment.

That friend jerked his body back and looked at me with a very unpleasant expression.

I was so flustered, but I had to see the book anyway...

"Um... it's my first day so I don't have the textbook, could we look at it together?"

I asked as politely as possible.

Then that friend sighed once and pushed the book toward me without saying a word.

I couldn't tell if he was annoyed...

or if he disliked me...

I really couldn't read his expression.

'Wait... did I do something wrong...?'

I wondered, but I just let it go.

After that, I began to adjust to school life little by little.

I made friends, and school was more fun than I expected.

The problem was...

my desk mate.

As I attended school, I realized that friend was a famous 'insider' in the class.

He had so many friends, and to the teachers, he was a polite and diligent model student.

He was always smiling and had a personality that got along well with anyone.

But...

strangely, it seemed like he only acted that way toward me.

At first, I thought I was just imagining things.

But as time went on, I kept feeling like he was avoiding only me.

One day, I forgot my pencil case and asked to borrow just one pen...

He stared at me for a long time with an expression as if I were pathetic before finally lending it to me.

And another day, his eraser fell on the floor during class, so I picked it up for him...

Suddenly, he almost snatched it out of my hand and said,

"...Don't pick it up even if it falls in the future."

Seriously...

I started to wonder if I was someone carrying a contagious disease or something.

I'm so frustrated that I want to ask for the reason...

But whenever I approach him, he subtly avoids me or leaves his seat immediately, so I don't even have a chance to talk properly.

Of course...

as I mentioned at the beginning, I look a bit delinquent-like, I have piercings in my ears, and I tend to wear my skirt slightly shortened.

Even so, I've never acted impolitely toward teachers,

I'm not great at studying but I try my best in my own way,

and I get along well with my friends.

I might look scary...

but I'm really not a bad kid...

I even feel a little resentful toward that friend who keeps avoiding me without any reason.

Vep.

What should I do from now on...?

———————————————————————

📻 Wow~ Achi...!!

I kept shouting Wait, why...?! the whole time I was reading this. 😂

The comment section is also going crazy right now.

"Maybe he's avoiding you because he likes you?"

"If he hated you, I don't think he would have even lent you the book?"

"Telling you not to pick it up in the future is even more suspicious lol"

"Isn't he avoiding you because he's afraid his face will turn red?"

Comments like these are flooding in. 🤣

But as Vep sees it...

If it were someone he truly hated, I don't think he would have bothered to lend the book or continued to stay in the same seat.

Of course, it's true that his attitude is very cold. 🥲

Maybe he has a personality that finds people difficult,

or maybe he misunderstood Achi when he first saw them,

or maybe there's another reason hidden, just like the comments say? 👀

So rather than being hurt all by yourself, I hope you'll wait and see a little longer.

If a chance for just the two of you to talk ever comes up,

I think it would be good to calmly ask once, "Did I do something wrong by any chance?"

Misunderstandings often start from really trivial things. 😊

I hope you two clear up the misunderstanding and have a happy school life!

And...

Vep has a feeling that...

a follow-up story will come for this one! 🤭

If you find out the reason later, please be sure to send a story again!

Vep and the comment section will all be waiting~! 💙
