 JESSICA'S POV                             

 

My cucumber senses are tingling...

 

I am certain that a slimy disgusting monster, which you guys commonly call as a "cucumber" is in the close vicinity. 

 

My body didn’t let go about the senses I felt, so that totally made me jump out of my bed. And guess what...

 

My senses didn't fail me. -_-

 

My oh-so-beautiful yet so wicked little sister, standing at my door, is actually holding one.

 

"Yah! Krystal! Why did you bring a cucumber inside my room?! Do you wanna die?" I yelled. ( > . < )

 

Aiigoo~! ( O . O ) Did she just smirk? What the? This creep.. ( > . < )

"Get out of my room together with that disgusting thing right now. N-O-W. NOW!!" I shouted

 

"Wow, Unnie. You're getting better at detecting the presence of cucumbers. I'm quite impressed. I just arrived coming from San Francisco, but I don’t get any ‘hi’, ‘hello’, nor ‘good morning!’ from you? Fantastic!”, she said as she stomped out of my room.

I looked at the digital clock placed on top of my bedside table.

 

Omo~! I woke up earlier than my typical rising time.

 

And... OMO! That was really my sister right? I totally forgot that she was coming home today. So, I chased her and gave her the tightest hug I could ever give.

 

I asked her how long she’ll be staying here in Seoul, and she said that it’ll not be a week or so. So fast. T__T

 

After the super loooooooooong chitchat me and my sister had, I decided to let her rest and take a bath..

  

I finished taking a bath and went in my walk-in closet to choose what sort of like clothing theme I should wear.

 

"What theme should I go for today?" I asked myself.

 

Hmmm..would I go nerdy? Or y? Or maybe dress like I don’t care about what I wear?

 

As I was thinking, my eyes are roaming around the closet. Just then, I spotted my black-framed glasses, and that gave me an idea..

"Nerdy it is!"

.

.

.

.

.

With my pink earphones attached to both of my ears, I walked in our school's hallway like a ramp  model. I’m not bragging or doing something of the likes, but I actually am, only when I have some spare time.

 

People around me stopped talking, walking, and whatever they're doing and stared at me. Not that I'm bragging.. but what can I say? Any clothe I wear suits me. Tiffany, one of my best friends, said that I make any clothe look so elegant. *flattered*

 

I felt someone tap my right shoulder, I turned around to see who it is, and oh! Speaking of the devil, Fany just showed up.

 

"Ayo! How are you HWANG MIYOUNG?" I totally emphasized her complete Korean name, just to piss her off. She dislikes being called like that, for an unknown reason.

 

She looked at me with an irritated look on her face. ( >.< )

 

"Are you trying to piss me off? Well if you are, then it's working. But anyway, why are you here at this time? Did something really good or really bad happen to you? Tell me! Tell me!" she excitedly said then smiled with her infamous killer eye smile.

 

"Both. Something good and something bad happened.”, I said as I smiled back at her.

 

"Oooh! Tell me! Tell me!”, she said as she was jumping up and down.

 

"I’ll start with the bad thing. I woke up due to my cucumber senses. I felt that a cucumber was near me, so that made me wake up early."

 

Then she asked me what was the good thing that happened to me, and I told her about my sister being here.

As we continued walking, I noticed how more and more people were looking our way. Well, who wouldn't? I'm only walking with our school's “soul siren”, as they label her.

 

There were three other girls who joined just. Meet Hyoyeon, Yuri and Sooyoung, the three lead female dancers of our school's dance club and are known as the "Dancing Trio."

 

Hyoyeon, the Dancing Queen. She turns strict and very serious when dancing involved, but is very goofy and dorky when it comes to other stuffs. You would usually see her with her headphones on and dancing to the beat of the music.

 

 Yuri, the Black Pearl. She has this y and dark charisma that could attract anyone, but behind that somehow dark charisma lies a very playful personality.We call her “Kkab Yul” because she’s very very crazy. She's usually the prankster. She plays pranks on us when she's bored. But never went overboard. Just those funny pranks.

  

Sooyoung, the Shikshin. She craves for food most of the time, but her body shows no sign of that. Awesome, right? Her genes are so amazing. Another somehow unbelievable thing is she's the youngest among the five us.. and at the same time the tallest one. Her and her awesome genes!!!

 

Since we, somehow one of the most popular girls in our school, are walking in the hallway together, who wouldn't possibly look in our direction? So you could say that all eyes were on us by this time, and it doesn’t make us feel comfortable.

 

"Aiigoo~! They see us everyday, yet their reactions are still the same." Said, or rather complained Sooyoung.

 

"Aren't they tired of doing that already?" agreed Hyoyeon.

 

"And aren't we tired of complaining about the same old stuff over and over again?" I jokingly said, and then gained laughter from the four.

 

"Oh! Seohyun-ah~!" Yuri half-shouted after seeing her sister standing in front of her locker.

 

"Oh. Annyeong unnie!" she bowed to Yuri and to us.

 

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me Unnie? You’re making me feel old.”, Yuri said while pouting.

 

"Unnie, you're still older than me.", Seohyun said to protect her side.

 

She then laughed, which made us also laugh because it made Yuri pout even more.

 

By the way, this is Seohyun. Yuri’s little sister. She’s younger than us, but she’s so smart that she ended up in our batch. Her personality is really different from Yuri who is, what Seohyun has said earlier. She's the quiet type, and has this innocent charisma. She's very much angelic in face and in heart.

 

"Uhmm, Unnies, I have to go now. My class is about to begin. Annyeong." She smiled shyly then bid goodbye.

 

"Oh how I wish my little sister is as angelic as yours, Yuri." I said.

 

Yuri laughed and answered, "Yah! You’re sister is also angelic, she only borrowed some wicked side from you."

 

"Mwoh?!”, I half-shouted, which gained laughter from my friends.

 

Our laughter was put on hold when a very “angelic” girl bumped my arms. It's Yoona. THE ONE and ONLY very ANGELIC Yoona. Take note of the sarcasm on that part.

 

"Give way." She said while of one her eyebrows were raising. If only my parents didn’t raise me well, I could've killed her a long time ago.

 

So instead of killing her, I just gave her the sweetest smile I could give.

I read in a magazine before that says smiling in front of your enemy when they're trying to piss you off is the best way to have your revenge and to piss them off instead.

 

And by the looks of it, it really works. \(^0^)/

"Oh Yoona-ah, if you keep doing that with your eyebrows, you may look like a pre-historic man." I said to her while smiling.

Before she could say anything, I already asked the gang to leave.

 

"Come on girls. Let's leave. Someone here might evolve anytime soon."

 

Then looked at Yoona from head to toe.

 

I am not usually this mean to other people, but she just gives off this y aura that makes me want to off in front of her. Sorry for the improper language, but she really does!

 

 

 

Since the five of us are classmates, which is really awesome, we went to our classroom together. And out of nowhere, the P.A system and someone spoke.

"Good morning, Lee Soo Man High School students!" Sungmin, the school's speaker and flower boy, said.

 

"I have a special announcement for you today. To all those who are talented when it comes to performing arts and those who dream to become famous artists, and I'm actually referring to all the students since this is a school for the performing arts," he paused for a while as he chuckled at his own joke.

 

"SM entertainment, also owned by the owner of our school, is going to hold an audition. So if you think you're talents and skills are worth showing off to the world, don't hesitate to go and join. Auditions will begin a month from now." He chuckled cutely, making some girls in the hallway squeal.

 

"We are announcing this beforehand because we want you to be able to prepare. Good luck guys, and have a good day." He ended.

 

"You guys want to audition?" asked Fany.

 

"Maybe. I'll join if you four would also audition." answered Sooyoung

 

"I'd like to join. I want to take that opportunity to show off my talent to the world.", said Hyoyeon, who started to do her popping dance.

 

We then laughed because her dancing started to become really weird.

 

"Well, I'd also like to join. Same reason as Hyo. But don't expect me to do those crazy dance moves Hyo did." Yuri said while laughing.

 

"How about you, Jessie?" asked Fany.

 

"I don't know. Maybe I won’t. I’ll just sleep instead of auditioning.”

 

“Seriously, Jess?”

 

“What’s wrong with that? Okay. I’ll audition. Only if you guys are.” 

 

"So that makes all of us!", she said while smiling, making her eyes disappear.

 

"So that settles it. The five of us are joining!" exclaimed Sooyoung.

 

By the time we finished our conversation, we're already in front of our classroom.

 

I was the first one to get in. And still, all eyes were on us. Tiffany followed, then Hyoyeon, who was then followed by Yuri, and then came Sooyoung.

 

As I was about to go to my seat, I noticed someone unfamiliar. I was quite sure he's not the person who was sitting on that seat. The nerdy guy was sitting there, but this guy looks cool and all.

.

.

.

.

Three hours of classes ended and all I did was sleep. What do you expect from a person who rarely gets enough sleep?

 

Me and the other girls already parted ways because we had different agendas to take care of. They still had dance practices, voice lessons, and me? I still have a drinking brigade coming along.

 

Just like in the morning, the five of us went to the parking lot together. The parking lot looks like a car showroom because there are five cars, same model, same brand, the difference only is the color. Wonder why we have the same cars? Well, we once did a part time job as models for a car brand and in return, they gave these to us. Hoooraaay! (^O^)

 

We bid goodbye and one by one left the school premises.

 

I then went straight to the place I commonly visit for the past six months

 

When I entered the bar the bouncer/security guard greeted me, I smiled back because I know him. I told you, right? This place became my third home for the past six months, and he was the one who helped me return to my real home most of the time.

 

I took the seat in the bar counter, my usual seat. The bartender approached me, already having a drink in his hand and said,

 

“The usual, Mam?”

 

I smiled at him in response. See? People here know me already. They even know the liquor I want to drink, and! The bartender had already prepared a bunch of that drink.

 

I drink alcohol, hoping to make myself numb. But maybe because I take in so much alcohol for the past six months that it’s not working for me anymore. I have already drank so many alcohol and at the same time rejected so many guys that come to me and tries to flirt with me, but I don’t feel even the slightest feeling of dizziness.

I was about to drink my nth bottle of liquor, but something caught my attention.

 

There was a guy also seating in the bar counter, he looks so miserable and I can hear him sobbing. Despite the darkness here in our place, I could still see tears flowing out from his eyes.

My plan of drowning myself with alcohol changed because instead of drinking, my attention was taken by the guy beside me..

 

I was unconsciously observing him..

 

It took me quite a while to realize that this guy is also in my class. He’s the smart one among the students in our class. He’s usually teased for being one.

 

I can hear him mumbling.. complaining about things.. especially love.

 

“Why did love even exist? Oh. I know. To ruin my life. Tss.” “Life because it created love.”

 

After each complains, he would laugh bitterly and tears would continue to fall from his eyes.

 

I could feel his pain, I could really relate to the suffering he is facing right now, so I looked down and was about to drink the whole glass full of liquor I was holding when he suddenly collapsed. That really surprised me.

 

And since I was the one nearest to him, I was the one who attended him first.

 

The employees came to help him, and they were panicking on what they were supposed to do.

 

Luckily, my brain was still functioning well, and I had the initiative to take his phone and dial whoever was on his speed dial number two.

 

[A/N: The ones italicized are the answer from the other line]

 

“Hello?”

 

Hello? Who is this?

 

“Oh hello. Are you a friend of the owner of this phone?”

 

Yes. Why? What happened to him?

 

“Well, you’re friend suddenly passed out here in the bar. Can you please pick him up?”

 

What?! What’s the name of the bar?

 

And I told him the name of the bar and where it is situated.

 

Okay. Okay. Thank you for informing me, I’ll be there.”

 

I then hanged up and put his phone back in his pocket, and told the employees that there will be someone who’ll pick him up sooner or later.
