After the teacher left the room, the class president, Madison, immediately stood up to get everyone's attention.
"Alright everyone, since this is just the first day, we should not pressure ourselves and just chill out a little bit. For now, just choose your own schedule and the subjects that you wanted to take for this semester. Of course, everything is up to your choice, but you better choose wisely and get all the necessary subjects lest you get left behind by the others."
"We are now in a new semester so I would also make another group chat for us to interact with in the future. You can give either give me your Dissbook account or you can just simply add or message me in Dissbook and I will add you guys to the group chat," as she said so, she also took an old model phone from her pocket as she swiftly created a new group chat for everyone to join.
Everyone got busy as Madison walked from chair to chair to add them one by one.
Roland looked at their interactions with a bit of curiosity on his face.
Previously, Roland has been busy working part-time, so he had not joined any form of group chat. He did not even have a Dissbook back then and the only way for the others to contact him was through his old phone and sim card.
A while later, Madison finally arrived in front of him.
"Right, you don't have a Dissbook account, right? And it seems that your old sim is no longer working, where should we contact you if ever?" Madison said as she looked at Roland.
This was supposed to be her question earlier, but she was startled by how Roland responded to her, making her ask some vague questions that led to that awkward situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe tried contacting Roland during the break as she was worried about him due to the rumors, but apparently, his sim was no longer in service.
Looking at him now, Madison thought she had nothing to worry about anymore. She thought that he might have bought a new sim, hence, the task the teacher had given to her was the right opportunity to get his contact number again.
She looked at Roland with a hint of anticipation on her face.
As they say, humans were born as curious creatures.
As someone who saw Roland as a rival, and as someone who constantly observed him, it was obvious to Madison that something had changed on Roland. She was curious at what the change was, and she was going to find it out herself.
With great expectations, she waited for Roland's answer.
However, his answer left her rooted to the spot.
"Don't worry about it, I'll add you and you can add me to the group chat." Roland said.
He observed the process earlier and saw that most of them went with this option.
"H-huh?" Madison tilted her head, confused at what she heard.
As far as she knows, Roland never had any Dissbook account. And from his previous actions, she knew that he was not a person who would check and explore online platforms like Dissbook. Heck, she even heard from the others before that Roland's phone was actually a very old model, even older than hers.
It was said that his phone was so bad that it could not even download the Dissbook application.
"Y-you already have a Dissbook account?" Madison asked to confirm what she heard.
Roland nodded his head, confused at the exaggerated reaction, "Yes, and why do you look so surprised?"
"N-nothing. I just did not think that you would create one when you did not have one before." Madison replied.
"Oh right, you can add me, this is my Dissbook Id," Madison showed him her phone screen and Roland only took a glance at it before he managed to memorized it in full detail.
"Alright, done." Roland suddenly said.
"Ehh? Don't you want to write or type it down on your phone or something?" She asked.
Each Dissbook account has their own unique id numbers that involve more than twenty-two numbers in total. She was surprised at how quickly Roland looked at it before saying it was done.
Even she herself, who prided herself for being smart and good at memorizing, would not be able to memorize the string of numbers in that short period of time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's alright, I have already memorized it." Roland said with a straight face.
He had indeed memorized it easily. With his enhanced soul level, it was quite easy for him to remember things now if he just put his mind to it.
A string of twenty-two numbers was nothing for him and he was able to memorize it easily with just a quick glance.
However, him saying that doesn't mean that everyone would believe it.
"Pres, just don't bother about him. He's just embarrassed of showing his old phone to the whole class. So he's just pretending that he will add you when in fact, he wouldn't," Anna, who was at the back suddenly chimed all of a sudden.
She had been constantly checking Roland since earlier.
Although they were already over, she just could not help herself from looking towards him. Especially with the event the other week when Roland stood up for that old lady and for that girl.
Anna found it very manly and coupled with Roland's handsome face, she could not help but look at him in a new light.
Looking at him interacting freely with Madison, a bitter feeling suddenly aroused in her heart. She perked her ears to listen to their conversation, only to hear about him being able to memorize Madison's Dissbook id with a quick glance.
She knew too well about Roland. She guessed that he was just embarrassed of showing his old phone, hence, he pretended that he already memorized her Dissbook id when he actually didn't.
She thought that he was doing it deliberately to impress Madison.
Of course, she also did not forget how Roland treated her the other week, as a form of revenge, she planned to embarrass him at his own game.
Hearing her voice, Roland and Madison turned to look at her at the same time.
