The Side Character has a Scholarship - Part 2

Suddenly, the unpleasant feeling was gone from my neck.

I looked over to see what was happening. I saw Derrick being pulled away by Teru, "You need some more social awareness, she was obviously uncomfortable with you being so close." He tried to rebut, "but I just wanted to see what she was doing..." Teru looked down at him, he glanced over at me before returning to his conversation, "Actually speak to her then and don't be so close, people don't like it when other people invade their personal space." Derrick seemed to be listening to Teru and reflected on his actions. It was very nice of Teru to do something like that for me.

After a little while, Teru came over to me and also had a look at the novel I was reading. "Hopeless romantic?" He asked. 

Something like that.
