Chapter 284: The Solitude of the Rooftop
Chapter: The Solitude of the Rooftop
---
The Chapter begins with the bell ringing loudly, signaling the start of the first class. The previously noisy classroom falls silent as the teacher walks in, her stern gaze sweeping over the students.
She’s a middle-aged woman with sharp features, wearing a neatly pressed navy-blue suit. Her no-nonsense demeanor demands immediate attention, and the students scramble to take their seats.
Adam sits at the very back of the room, his posture relaxed but his eyes quietly observing everything around him. His seat is next to Leo, who can’t stop grinning and casting amused glances in Adam’s direction. Leo’s subtle elbow nudges and knowing smirks are hard to ignore.
"Dude," Leo whispers under his breath, leaning closer to Adam. "You’ve officially become the hottest topic in the school."
Adam sighs, trying to focus on the teacher at the front, who has started writing equations on the digital whiteboard. "Leo, not now," he mutters, his tone calm but firm.
Meanwhile, at the front of the classroom, Ani sits at her desk, her back straight and her head held high.
Despite her composed demeanor, she can feel the weight of the stares directed at her. Whispers ripple through the room as students steal glances at her, their expressions ranging from admiration to jealousy.
Ani tries to ignore the attention, focusing on the lesson instead. But every so often, she sneaks a glance toward the back of the room, where Adam sits.
Their eyes meet briefly, and a small, reassuring smile spreads across Adam’s face. It’s enough to calm Ani’s nerves, even if just for a moment.
