Friend and Heartbeat
Meeting the ARISTOCRATSJieun POV
I was walking around the shelves in our school library, I've been looking for a book over an hour already. I was having a hard time finding it, i wish someone would passed by and help me. As if someone's reading my mind, someone timidly walked their way towards me.
Suzy: I've been noticing for the past hour, do you need help?
Jieun: thank God, i thought i would spend the night here.
Suzy: so what are you looking for?
Jieun: Hmm... I'm looking for a good book for my book report.
Suzy: Hmm.... Let's see. I think it's a good idea if you choose something classic.
Jieun: that's a good idea, any suggestion?
Suzy: how about Shakespeare's works
Jieun: aren't Shakespeare's works mostly tragic?
Suzy: Kinda, don't you like tragic stories?
Jieun: it's not my thing.
Suzy: how about Jane Austen's works?
Jieun: What are her works?
Suzy: Hmm.. Pride and Prejudice is a good one.
Jieun: then i'm settling with that.
Suzy: then let's head to the classical section.
Jieun: lead the way.
Then we headed to the inner part of the library.
Suzy: Hm... Hmm... i know it's somewhere here... oh i found it!.... Here.
Then she handed me a maroon hard covered used old book. i read the front cover it says,
"Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen", yup here's the book.
Jieun: thank you very much for helping.
Suzy: no harm done.
I instanly felt guilty for what i've done to her. Despite of what i did she's still willing to help me. Then she was about to walk away. i know i needed to say something.
Jieun: wait....
Suzy: yes? do you need anything else.
Jieun: hmmm...it's just ....that ....ahh...
Suzy: yeah?
Jieun: it's just that i want to apologize
Suzy: For?
Jieun: for being mean to you, for doing all those cruel things i did to you. I'm sorry
Suzy: apology accepted.
Jieun: Really? I'm forgiven
I can't believe she forgave that easily.
Suzy: yeah, forgive and forget.
Jieun: Truce?
Suzy: hmm.. Truce.
Then we headed for our next class. After a two hour lecture from the famous Ms. Jung, who is known for having the most boring classes, I lived.
Lunch Time.
As usual I headed to sit with my friends.
girl1: did you hear that Hee jun and Danji are officially dating?
girl2: no way, i thought they're mortal enemies
girl3: I don't know, we just saw holding hands while walking at the mall yesterday.
girl4: i thought Hee jun likes somebody else.
girl1 : that's what we thought.
As usual our table is full of gossips, I sometimes wonder where they get these rumours. I kinda tired of listening to pointless conversations. What's good about talking about somebody's bad sides?
I played with my food, in the corner of my eye Daehyun and his friends sat on their usual table
girl2: jieun, Daehuyun's here, aren't you going to give him the packed lunch.
Jieun: not this time, i didn't prepare packed lunch for him.
girl3: Why? Jieun, have you decided on not pursuing him?
Jieun: i realize that i have no chance with him.
girl1: so you don't like him anymore.
Jieun: i still like him but i don't know if i have a chance with him.
I saw Suzy sat on a table all by herself. Then i stood up and approach her.
Jieun: hi
Suzy: hmm...hi?
then i sat in front of her.
Suzy: hmmm... not to be rude....but.... why are you here?
Jieun: i want to sit with you.
Suzy: Why?
Jieun: i just want to.
Suzy: you're not supposed to sit with me
Jieun: why does your friend hate me?
Suzy: I don't have friends *she mumbled*
Jieun: what?
Suzy: i don't have friends
Jieun: oh... I'm sorry. I did'nt know
Suzy: It's alright
Jieun: why don't you have friends?
Suzy:....
She stayed quiet. Then it hit me, i was the one who bullied and made fun of her. probably, it's because students tend to stay away from her because they might think that they would be also bullied if they made friends with her.
Jieun: is it because of me?
Suzy:ah...nonono...
Jieun: tell me the truth, it is because of me?
Suzy:.....
Jieun: so it because of me .
Suzy:....
Jieun: then....friends?
Suzy: huh?
She look bewildered and suprised.
Jieun: i said, Friends?
Then i raised my hand for a handshake
She looked hesitant as if she's wondering if it's real.
Suzy: ok, Friends.
Then she shook my hands. then smiled.
After our conversation, i notice everybody was staring at us.
Suzy POV
After making friends with Jieun. i stood up and exited the cafeteria then i heard my name being called.
Wonho: Suzy
Then i stopped and turned to face the eight of them.
Suzy: Hi, guys, what are you doing here?
Dongwoon: what was that all about?
Suzy: huh? what?
Sunggyu: why are you talking to Jieun?
Suzy: is it not allowed
Dongwoon: she bullies you.
Myungsoo: did she threathen you? if she did tells us, we'll deal with her.
Suzy: no no no, don't do anything. she didn't do anything wrong
Daehyun: what were you talking about?
Suzy: we made friends
ALL: WHAT?
Jonghun: that's impossible
Dongwoon: that didn't happen
Sunggyu: why would she do that?
Wonho: maybe that's a part of her plan.
Suzy: no, she sounds sincere
Myungsoo: she can act
Suzy: no, i don't think that was an act
Dongwoon: but...but...
Ljoe: leave it guys, if she thinks it's sincere then it's sincere, don't doubt Suzy
Sunggyu: guys, let's just believe her
Dongwoon: ok, i'll drop it but tell us right away if she does something.
Suzy: ok, i got it
Sunggyu: let's go guys, lunch break is almost done.
Jonghun: see you
Daehyun: see you later guys

Wohno: Bye Suzy, guys
Then they all left except for Kai
Suzy: what are you still doing here?
Kai: i... just....
Suzy: what? i can't understand you. talk properly
Kai: ah... it's just... be careful.
Suzy: ok, thanks, you too.
After he left, i felt my cheeks heating up, my heart is beating fast. why am i like this? He just said be careful. what matter with me?
