Luis frowned, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm reading the textbook."
Alison was caught red-handed peeping at Luis right by the boy. She blushed instantly. She cast a timid glance at Luis. It was so awkward. Her body tensed up. She was afraid Luis would say something else.
Although Alison had only attended two classes at this new school, she had already figured out from the other students' discussions during recess that this boy sitting next to her was not to be messed with.
Alison didn't want to mess with Luis. In the past, Jacob alone was a headache for her.
Luis, the boy who sat next to her, seemed much more difficult to get along with than Jacob.
Alison grew up in a complicated family, so she had learned long ago never to interfere in other people's business.
Luis saw Alison's blushed cheeks and he made a nonchalant snort. He glanced at the textbook spread out in Alison's hand and didn't say another word.
Probably only Luis himself knew whether he believed Alison's words or not.
The students in the new class were much friendlier than Alison had expected. On Alison's first day at school, Selina Flowers, the girl sitting ahead of her desk invited her to have lunch together.
It was easy for girls to build friendships. Even though Alison was an introverted girl, Salina's enthusiasm made Alison warm to her. The two girls became friends soon.
"Luis didn't find fault with you, did he?"
Gym class in high school was basically a time for students to relax. The teacher let the students run several rounds around the playground and then let them exercise by themselves.
