chapter 5

Was this really him? The Finn that Lit had mentioned? It had to be.

"Tsk, stand up." I looked in front of me, and my eyes widened when I saw Finn in front of me, while the chair was still floating upstairs. His bad habit!

"Tsk." He held out his hand in front of me. I just looked at it, then at his face. I still hoped that he would help me, eh, maybe he would embarrass me again. Instead of accepting his hand, I just smiled and then stood up without taking it.

"Owww." Everyone said, shocked. Finn just looked at the floor where I had been sitting earlier, then slowly withdrew his hand and stood up straight, then looked at me.

"Thank you for the offer, thank you for the embarrassment. I appreciate it," I said and patted his shoulder, then walked to an empty seat in front. I heard the screams of those here, but I ignored them.

"Hey, woman!" I was stunned and turned to Finn.

"You're calling me?" I asked. He gave me a bad look. Suddenly the iron chair below collapsed, creating a loud sound and surprising some.

"It hurts so much, my ears, damn," Leona said coldly.

"That hurts even more than my voice!" Leana moaned. I was surprised that in a flash, Finn was in front of me. "Who told you to touch me?" he asked angrily. I scratched my head.

"Did you say it's forbidden to touch you?" I asked. His forehead furrowed even more, and he was obviously disgusted.

"Do you want to--"

"Finn, sit down," Creed said with authority and looked at me, then back at Finn.

"Oops, it looks like the angry boy has a counterpart," Von said and laughed out loud. Finn still wouldn't leave from in front of me, so I just sat in my chair and looked at him.

"Ugh... Maybe you'll get sick?" I said.

"Hahahahahahahahaha." I heard Von, Van, and Liana laugh.

"Really--"

"Finn, sit down," Creed said angrily. Finn closed his eyes, and I saw his fist clench, then he looked at me.

"We're not done yet," he threatened, and in a flash, he sat in his chair while looking at me wickedly. I just pouted and looked at our teacher as if no one knew and just kept on discussing.

"So, Ms. Konzet, what is the meaning of Alpha?" My eyes widened, and I stood up.

"In studies of social animals, the highest-ranking individual is sometimes designated as the alpha. Males, females, or both can be alphas, depending on the species. Where one male and one female fulfill this role together, they are sometimes referred to as the alpha pair. Alphas may achieve their status by superior physical strength and aggression, or through social efforts and building alliances within the group. The individual with alpha status sometimes changes, often through a fight between the dominant and a subordinate animal. Fights are often to the death, depending on the animal," I replied.

Suddenly the surroundings became quiet. Um, was I wrong? My eyes widened when our teacher applauded. "That's right," she said. "Are you sure you're just human? No mixed power? You almost said everything I said." Our teacher said.

"Um... I'm a pure human being," I said.

"Nerdy weirdo." I heard Finn say, so I laughed and looked at him.

"Just right for a show-off," I said. The twin boys and the girl laughed again. Damn, they always laugh; nothing's funny. I sat on the floor again where I had been sitting, not in the chair. I looked at my chair, floating again. And I think Finn did the wrong thing. I was annoyed that I stood up and looked at him.

"Are you upset or did you trip me? If you're paying attention because you like me, just tell me straight away, not that you're paying attention to me, and move away from my place!" I said. A long silence enveloped me. They were obviously surprised by what I had done, me too. The chair fell, and it made a noise. The five Vaughns laughed from the lower part of the chair. As if they included Creed and Leona. While Finn is looking badly at me.

"Um... Just a joke," I said and sat in my chair and closed my eyes. Hays, what did I say?

"Finn, there you have a counterpart, hahahahaha."

"Cracked!" Van and Von said.
