Chapter 14: The Commotion That Followed
BRUK!
Claire fell onto Fein's chest as she could no longer do push-ups. His breathing was ragged and his heart was beating rapidly.
Unconsciously, Fein wrapped his arms around Claire's waist as if hugging the man. They did it for quite a while as neither of them realized what they were doing.
'Ehhh what is he doing?' Claire thought confusedly as he felt Fein's hands on his waist.
"How long do you want to go on like this? Let go of me, ugly!" Fein snapped at Claire.
"That should be my word. Get your hands off me, idiot!"
"If you really want me to hold you like this? Just say it from the start, no need to pretend to fall like that."
"Huh?! Seriously. How could I possibly want to be hugged by an annoying alpha like you! Now let go of me!" Claire tried to untangle himself from Fein, but Fein's hands still held his waist tightly.
The people who were there began to realize that and took pictures of the two of them.
"Look at what our seniors are doing, why are they hugging like that?"
"Ahahaha... That's right, how embarrassing!" they laughed as they watched.
Although some thought it was cute and romantic, buy they were in the middle of class.
The two of them became a spectacle for everyone on the field until Claire finally managed to untangle himself from Fein.
"Tch, it's all because of you that we're a people show!" Claire got up from his place and cleaned himself up. Likewise, Fein immediately patted his own shirt.
"You're the one who got carried away, why did you blame me?"
"Of course it's your fault! The point is, it's your fault!" The dark blue-eyed man immediately left Fein in annoyance. He had no idea that something worse would happen to the two of them.
******
The next day, Claire came in full of anger and immediately pounded on Fein's desk as Fein was trying to sleep. He yelled that all of this was Fein's fault.
"What do you mean, you came in the morning mad at me like a maniac and said it was my fault."
"Look at this!" Claire showed their school's social media and a picture of them hugging each other was posted there with such a romantic caption. "My reputation is ruined because of you, you know?!"
"Then what do you want me to do? If you're going to get angry, don't get angry at me! Just get angry at the person who sent the photo!" annoyed Fein who felt that his morning was interrupted by Claire's noisy yelling.
"Tch, if only I wasn't paired up with you, this wouldn't have happened. Next time I'd rather be with someone else than you," Claire said and left Fein.
Fein just kept quiet and went back to trying to sleep.
In the afternoon during break time, Fein walked out of his class to buy some snacks at the cafeteria. When he was walking to the cafeteria he saw Claire who was surrounded by several students. At first Fein tried to ignore it, so he just passed by them.
However, he heard some conversations when he passed by those people.
"How cute is your hug with him, don't you guys like each other?" teased one of them.
"Heh seriously, I'm a true alpha. I wouldn't be interested in a fellow alpha like him," Claire replied as he folded his arms.
"Even if I wasn't an alpha, there's no way I'd want to be with him. There are many other alphas who are much better than him," she continued.
"Hoo... So you're saying he doesn't deserve you?"
"Of course. Who would want to be with a loner alpha like him. Just looking at his face is nauseating let alone being with him all the time," Claire explained.
Fein who heard all that was silent for a moment thinking about it. But without saying anything he immediately left there because he was too lazy to deal with Claire and the circlet that he considered strange. He did not care if Claire was surrounded by many alphas like that. If his identity was discovered, then it was none of his business.
However, a small whisper sounded in Fein's ears. If they knew that Claire was an omega, they would definitely approach him immediately. However, Claire also looked cute, his skin was soft let alone his lips that felt warm.
There was no chance for Fein to approach Claire again and he could have found an alpha who wanted to be with him first. It's just that on the other hand, he also heard the devil's whisper that said that Claire was a noisy omega and so annoying.
Fein should not be with him, there were many other omegas who were better and cuter than him, or he could follow in the footsteps of his father who married a beta.
'Damn, why do I keep thinking about that annoying shorty?' Fein thought.
Even in class, Claire seemed to ignore Fein. He wouldn't speak or even look at Fein even though Fein had tried to tease him but he still continued to ignore Fein.
'I won't talk to him anymore. It's all because of him that I became the butt of many people's jokes!' Claire annoyed in his heart as he focused on writing the notes on the blackboard.
Even so, he still occasionally glanced at Fein. Indeed what Fein said was right, he shouldn't be angry at Fein because of yesterday's incident. It was indeed him who was not strong enough to continue the push ups and then just fell on top of Fein.
Especially about their photos being spread on the school's social media. It wasn't Fein's fault either, it was the fault of someone who uploaded it there. Now Claire felt a little guilty for getting angry at Fein.
Even so, he was still annoyed at Fein for hugging him without letting go. Unconsciously, Claire scribbled on his notebook by drawing Fein's face there.
'What should I do? Apologize to him?' Claire thought confusedly.
"Claire... Claire!" called someone who tried to wake Claire up from his reverie.
"Claire Chester!" It was now his physics teacher who called out to him Claire was startled and immediately stood up from where he was.
"Y-yes?!"
"Are you listening to my explanation? You've been daydreaming about looking out the window. Now do problem number 12 in the front."
"Ehh? Ah, okay." Claire cursed to himself while carrying his book to the front of the class to work on the problem his teacher gave him.
Luckily, Claire was able to finish the problem and was allowed to return to his seat.
"What's wrong with you, you were daydreaming like that earlier?" asked Dior who was sitting next to Claire.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something," replied Claire while closing his book as he realized he had just drawn Fein's face there.
"Are you confuse? Aren't you in love?"
Claire gasped in shock and immediately turned to Dior. "In love? Me?!"
"Yes. You're daydreaming like someone who's in love."
The man could only remain silent hearing that from his best friend. In love? Who was he in love with? Fein?
"You must be joking."
