Novel Bin Chapter 1 - Encounter
Chapter 1 - Encounter
As soon as she grabbed the top of the wall, she effortlessly pulled herself up. However, she didn\'t go over the wall. Instead, she slowly pulled herself up just enough so she could peek over the wall. Her long black hair was a bit messy and it covered the remaining visible part of her face. Anyone who saw her at that moment would definitely have freaked out and no one would have blamed them for thinking that she was a ghost. Well, that was exactly what she was after, to scare anyone who might see her.
Upon seeing that there was no one on the other side, the girl cautiously looked from left to right before she jumped down again.
Zeri Kim was actually trying to escape. She just received a message from her little brother that she forgot the uniform she was supposed to wear for her new part time job. She finally found a job that was convenient enough for her, and yet, she actually forgot the most important thing.
She was supposed to go directly to her part time job as soon as her last class ended but she would definitely be late if she had to go back to their house. Zeri didn\'t want to give her boss a bad first impression on her first day of work. That was why she really didn\'t have a choice but to climb the school wall again to head out. Well, last month, Zeri had already climbed this wall quite a few times and she was actually really good at it. She was so good that she once thought about joining those bouldering contests that seemed way too easy in her eyes.
Confirming that there was no one on the other side of the wall, Zeri then took her bag. She stretched her arms once again and took another few steps back. She was now ready to cross over the wall and take her escape route out of here.
…
Meanwhile on the other side of the wall, a gorgeous young man, who looked like a prince, was quietly sitting inside a car hidden behind the dark tinted window, parked near the school\'s wall. He was Kazehara High\'s most famous student. Almost everyone in the school was infatuated with him. Every single girl, even the boys, worshipped him not just because of his gorgeous looks but also because of his genius mind. For some unknown reason, he was the only one who was allowed to leave the school when he wanted so here he was, skipping class.
At that moment, he happened to be staring blankly at the large towering tree behind the wall when he saw a ghost sneakily peeking from the other side. He immediately straightened up and his gorgeous eyes narrowed. He tilted his head so he could get a clearer view of this ghost as if he was trying to confirm that it wasn\'t just a hallucination.
The young man blinked but as soon as he saw the ghost looking from left to right, he realized it wasn\'t a ghost at all but an agile human, made of flesh and blood, just disguised as one.
He then realized that the peeking ghost in disguise was a girl and his narrowed eyes widened a bit. Well, he thought that the school wall was too high for a girl to climb over. Even boys would have a hard time climbing such a wall and yet… was that person really a girl?!
Quietly, the young man watched the ghost girl until she disappeared.
In one glance, he knew what the girl was up to and the corner of the young man\'s lips lifted. His bored eyes and his expressionless yet perfectly gorgeous face somehow changed a little.
The young man immediately stepped out of the car and stood across the exact point where the girl had peeked. He took his cellphone out and tapped the video button as he slipped his other hand in his pocket. Afterwards, he raised his head and calmly waited for the ghost girl, who was probably getting ready to jump, making sure to record the interesting event that was about to unfold before his eyes.
However, the next moment, something happened that was beyond his expectations. He was expecting that the girl would scurry up and stand on top of the wall first before jumping down. He even planned to capture her reaction once she saw him recording her escape. Yet none of the things he anticipated happened. Instead, out of nowhere, the ghost girl suddenly appeared and leaped over the wall without stopping, like a skilled sneaky ninja from ancient times. She was simply like a black blur appearing out of nowhere.
Bam!
In a blink of an eye, the young man suddenly fell on his bottom. Things happened way too fast. It was as if she was one of those ninja women from the action movies. Her swift movements just now were just unbelievably unreal for a normal high school girl.
What is she? Is she really a ghost ninja?!
He immediately helped himself up and tried to raise his upper body when he realized that the girl was sitting on his stomach, straddling him.
"You…" The young man couldn\'t even continue his words. It was because all of a sudden, the girl immediately and violently moved away from him. Her reaction was exactly the same as the reaction of a girl who had just seen a c.o.c.kroach, a reaction that caused the young man\'s veins to instantly pop with great annoyance and disbelief. He expected her to at least act shy and be apologetic for what happened, not to mention that she had just used the Great Him as her airbag, and yet, she actually reacted like that?
"You…" Once again, the young man, who immediately stood up to confront the ghost ninja girl, was left speechless. This time, it was because as soon as he raised his face and looked at her, the girl was already dashing away from him, furiously fast, like a cheetah running for its life.
He could only take a single step as he watched her disappear from his sight in no time.
"…" The young man was completely speechless. Nobody had ever treated him like this before. Every single girl that ever saw him simply fell into a great daze but that girl didn\'t! She didn\'t just use him as her air bag, she acted like she saw a c.o.c.kroach upon seeing him and she even ditched him just like that as if he was some lowly beggar!
He couldn\'t help but bite his lip hard. He stared at his cellphone lying on the ground and he ran his fingers through his hair with a really darkened face. His bored, unfathomable eyes a moment ago glistened with something inexplicable.
"Hey Kira, what happened to you?" the words came from behind him. Another young man, wearing the same P.E uniform spoke and Kira turned towards him before he picked his cellphone up from the ground.
His face was still dark as he answered.
"Thanks to you being late Rei, I just encountered a ghost… no, a ninja… no, a cheetah." Kira replied, causing Rei to knit his brows, looking extremely puzzled.
"An encounter with… a g-ghost? Ninja? Cheetah?" Rei could only ask but Kira didn\'t speak anymore. He instead threw the cracked cellphone to him as he said, "watch the video and find who that person is." He coldly said and Rei could only crease his brows again.
Did someone piss him off? Is there even someone gutsy enough to do that in this school?
