Prologue

Hyomin stepped into a huge gate of Queen High. The elite school made for the bunch of rich people. Of course most of its student were annoying snobs but who cares? As long as she can graduate from this school, get accepted into a good college and looking for a proper job where an awesome career is waiting for her.

The brunette straightened her red skirt and brown jacket. She held her head high and took a deep breath before walking into the huge building. Hyomin was busy roaming around her new school when her eyes caught something interesting.

There was a figure of a girl standing alone while staring at an old big tree on the soft lawn outside the school building. Hyomin could barely see the girl's face but just by looking at her back, she got the feeling that the girl was so lonely.

She kept staring on that figure when suddenly a bunch of hysterical girls were frantically running toward the school's main entrance.

“They are coming!” She heard one of the student shouted.

Eoh? Who are coming? Feeling confused of what was happening. Hyomin followed the crowd out of curiosity.

A luxurious car was coming from the gate and stopped right in front of the school main entrance. The huge crowd began to scream again as someone opened the car’s door – revealing three charismatic figures whom to be the reason of the chaotic morning.

“Oh my God! It’s them!”

Hyomin got startled when the girl next to her was screaming on the top of her lung. She looked at the girl with bemused and lost expression. She had no idea what was happening at the moment.

“What is actually happening? Why these people screaming like this?”

As she was busy to figure out what the sh** actually happened, Hyomin felt a nudge on her arm. She looked at her left side and see a midget girl was beaming up at her. “Hi! Are you new here?” She asked which returned by a nod from the other girl. “No wonder you look unfamiliar to me. Oh I’m Sunny by the way. What’s your name?” The Sunny girl started introducing herself.

“It’s Hyomin” Hyomin politely replied.

“Well Hyomin ah, I see you are confused of what’s happening right now, right?” The latter nodded “Ok let me explain it to you so you better listen carefully” The lass said. “You see the three people who were coming out from the car?”

The confused girl tried to take a look at where the midget was pointing at. “Yes I see them. What’s wrong with those three? Why people screaming over them?”

“They are the Special A students. If you have no idea what Special A is, I’ll explain it to you later. But for now just let me tell you brief information about them.” The midget stated.

“You see the handsome looking girl with platinum blonde hair? Her name is Hahm Eunjung. Her parents own the biggest record company in Korea. Beautiful yet handsome, rich, charismatic, she is all of those. But nobody is perfect. That Hahm Eunjung girl is a real jerk. Well-known to be the Casanova of the school, I’ve lost count of how many girls have left heartbroken by her. So I kindly warn you to stay away from her. That’s for your own good” She gave her new friend a piece of advise.

Hyomin blinked her eyes, trying to absorb the information Sunny gave her. Her eyes wide opened as she realized something. “Wait! Did you say girls? You mean she has relationship with girls?”

The shorter brunette nodded and smiled. “Well this is all girl school, Hyomin ah. Girl and girl relationship is a common thing in here.”

Hyomin still couldn’t believe the fact she just found out. She thinks that girl and girl relationship isn’t normal. It’s weird.

Ignoring the confusion on Hyomin’s face, Sunny continued with her explanation. “The girl beside Hahm Eunjung who is carrying a book, her name is Park Soyeon. If Eunjung’s parents own the biggest record company, Soyeon’s parents have the well-known Park Group Cooperation. You know the famous Ritz hotel, department store and café? All of those belong to them.” Sunny paused for while, observing the girl beside her who was having her jaw dropped upon listening her brief explanation about Soyeon. “I know right. She is that rich.” Sunny remarked, followed by a cute chuckle.

“So Hyomin ah, what do you think about that Soyeon girl?”

Hyomin took a glance at the object they were talking about. “She looks kind and sweet” She answered honestly.

“Well congratulation because you just got fooled”

“What?”

“She looks kind and sweet indeed but it’s just a mask. The real Park Soyeon is the rudest and heartless human being ever alive in this world. She is that kind of type who will say whatever she pleased without even care about the other’s feeling. In other word, she is also a jerk”

Hyomin was speechless after hearing the fact about the kind and sweet looking girl named Park Soyeon. The girl looks nothing like what Sunny said. Well the saying is right after all. Don’t ever judge a book just by its cover or you’ll get fooled.

“Let’s continue to the last one, Lee Jihyun or well-known as the goddess Qri. Almost all of population in this school is falling for her and I think you know the reason why. But sadly no one is attractive enough to catch her attention. Beside, the rumours said Qri already has someone special in her heart.”

“Who?” Hyomin interrupted. She was quite curious about this so called Special A student.

Sunny shrugged. “No idea” She then added, “Oh I almost forget to tell you. Qri’s parents own this school. So, don’t ever try to make the goddess mad or you’ll get kicked out right away.”

Hyomin moved her head up and down while taking another mental note about it.

“Actually there is another one of them.”

“Another one? You mean there are four of them?”

The midget nodded, “The fourth member of Special A. She doesn’t usually come to the public view very much. That’s why we can rarely see her.”

“Why? Is she a hippie?”

Sunny laughed and said, “Aniyo. She is not a hippie. In fact, she’s the most popular in the group. She has good look and body; gets first rank in exams, good in sports and expert in taekwondo. Plus she is super rich too. All in all, she’s almost perfect” she finished her explanation about the fourth member with a glint of admiration in her eyes. It caused the brunette beside her twitched. From the way Sunny explained her about the other Special A members earlier, the girl seemed unhappy and disliked them. However, she turned excited when talking about this fourth member. Hyomin wondered why but she just shook it off.

So she got a good look, rich and grades. How can anyone be perfect?

“Unfortunately, she isn’t a friendly type and her rejections are the worst”

Alright so basically she’s a jerk too. Tch.

“R-13” Hyomin muttered to herself. Queen High was so big –  correction, huge. So huge till you need to ride in a golf cart to get from place to place. The school was separated into four section, North, East, South, and West. The West wing was for the sophomore students. The North was for the seniors and the juniors’ was in the South wing. As for the East, It belonged to the Special A students. Yes they got the entire section of East wing for themselves and Hyomin found it was so unfair.

Speaking of Special A students. Sunny had told her everything about them. She didn’t let any single thing missed out. The midget also told her what was Special A and why the members were so popular.

Apparently, Special A was a special class made for those who were talented, doing great in academic and non academic, and highly respected by others. As Sunny said earlier, there were currently four members of Special A. Hahm Eunjung, the Casanova. She ranked 4th in the entire school. Park Soyeon, The meanie. She got 2nd position. The Goddess Lee Qri held the 3rd position and lastly, the mysterious girl whom Hyomin forgot to ask her name to Sunny. She ranked first.

Let alone the Special A students. Hyomin still needed to find the R-13 room, her English classroom. As she was busy reading a map Sunny gave her, Hyomin heard a crying sound coming from one corridor of that place. She wanted to ignore it but her mind told her otherwise. She followed the sound and saw a girl was sobbing. In front of the poor girl, another girl was staring at her with her stoic face.

“I love you sunbaenim” Hyomin gasped at the scene in front of her. Is she confessing to that girl? She couldn’t help but hide and listen in the small distance between the stairs and the two girls.

“Please give me a chance. I really love you” The girl pleaded. Her voice filled with desperation and melancholy. The hiding brunette can feel the sincerity and hope just by listening to the sound of her voice. If she’s the girl, she definitely won’t be able to say ‘no’.

“No”

Yet, the reply was brief and concise. The coldness of the other’s voice was enough to make Hyomin cringe.

“But-“

“I’m sorry. I can’t fall in love with you”

The sobbing sound became louder. The girl must be really heart-broken by the rejection.

“I’m so sorry” the girl said, followed by a hurried set of footsteps coming closer to Hyomin’s direction.

Closer

What?!

Closer

Damn damn damn I’ll be discovered. Hyomin can feel her breathing stopped for a while. Her blood flowing rapidly. Cold sweat was forming. She can almost feel the nearing presence.

I don’t want to be discovered! Surprisingly the god of bad luck must have had a lunch break that time. The heart-breaking girl, crying, ran so fast that she didn’t even notice the hiding her one bit.

“Oh dear god!” Hyomin silently swore.

How many times had she sworn for just a small soul-wrecking moment? Just when she was about to exhale out of relief, an unrelenting voice, loud enough, went all the way to the deepest portion of her ears.

“I’m sorry to break your eavesdropping moment, but up until when you’re going to hide there?”

“heol..” Hyomin peeked at the corner of the wall to look at the girl of her concern.

To be greeted by a pair of beautiful cold brown eyes. To be greeted by a long, beautiful, swaying black hair. To be greeted by the most gorgeous girl she has ever seen in her whole life.

Hyomin was stunned. Her dark eyes never left hers. She found herself drown into her dark, seemingly endless eyes. They were so cold yet beautiful.

“Eavesdropping my conversation and now staring at me like that. Don’t you think it’s pretty rude, Miss?” The radiant woman spoke. Her voice sounded cold yet calm, bringing the stunned girl back to reality.

“Eoh?” seven shades of scarlet crept up Hyomin’s face as her cheeks redden. “I-I’m sorry” the embarrassed girl replied, hanging her head down. She didn’t realize that small action of hers was able to form a smile at the corner of the girl’s lips.

“You’re cute” the letter remarked, ruffling her hair. It surprised Hyomin of course. It was the first time they met but the girl did it so casually as if they were close friends.

Ignoring the shock expression in Hyomin’s face, the girl leaned forward, brushing her lips against the shell oh Hyomin’s ear “Welcome to Queen’s High, Hyomin ah” she whispered, giving the girl a sweet smile before walking away, leaving the dumbfounded Hyomin alone.

“Who is she?”
