Cinderella Story

Description

An activity at school where one must exchange emails with another and become 'friends', telling each other your problems and difficulties in life. No one takes this seriously except you and your partner. What happens in a cruel twist of fate where you find out he is Woohyun - valedictorian, captain of the football team, most handsome guy in the school, most shallow person you have ever known?

Foreword

The principal yelled over the crowd in the microphone. He was telling the students to organise themselves into alphabetical order groups but no one seemed to be listening. He pulled at his collar to loosen it. I knew this was a dud idea, he thought. Why did I let my counseller convince me to let this project go ahead? It was a recipe for disaster.

Two thousand students, five hundred email addresses, five hundred new 'friends' made. It sounded good on paper, right? But not in real life.

The time had come to reveal each other's partners. They had swapped emails for half a year already, and it was time to see the friend who had helped you the most during your most difficult times. Anonymity was the best recipe to success in this activity. So why did the principal feel like this was not working?

He climbed onto the podium and pressed the shotgun used at the athletic races to let racers know they could run. Silence hushed the hall immediately and he began to bark his orders once more.

Everything worked out smoothly; he told everyone to move first into alphabetical groups of their emails which was cleverly their mother's maiden name and their favourite fruit @ St. Peter's College.com. Only two people were left out of this; a girl he recognised to be from the extension classes and Woohyun, the captain of the football team.

"Woohyun!" The principal barked. "Sit with your partner, now!"
"Sir," he scratched his head awkwardly, fully aware of the school's attention focused on him. "I don't think my partner is here."
I noticed the girl shift uncomfortably in her seat. Before I could save her by forcing them to sit together, one of his friends made a smartass comment.
"Hey, Woohyun! Maybe your partner is over there!" And he pointed to the poor girl who had turned bright red at the sight of everyone's eyes on her.
"No way! Ew!" He turned and punched his friend, hard, in the back.
His group all roared with laughter as if it was the funniest thing in the world. But I could tell for the girl, it was the shattering of her world.
