"What's this?" Seohyun looked at Sulli with puzzled eyes when the latter passed her an envelope.  

"Ummm I am not really well at expressing myself, especially when talking face-to-face thus I poured my thoughts into this letter. I doubt you'll be my listener after you read the letter. You know, it's kinda long and mostly about my whines," Sulli replied sheepishly, unable to look at her seatmate in the eyes because she was embarrassed. She had never gotten close to anyone else after she transferred here except for her ex-BFF and Minho. She was afraid to be hurt again.    

However, Sulli decided to have a change. If she were a hermit crab, she wanted to climb out from her old shell and look for a new one. Although there were chances that she might not end up in a big comfortable shell in one piece, she was willing to take the risk. She wanted to move on after heeding the advice from Minho.

"I am so happy that you finally speak more than 10 words to me. And we are not even talking about the lesson for the first time! I have a gut feeling that we are going to be best of friends! I will read your letter verbatim for now. Let's go to the cafeteria now," Seohyun squealed excitedly and she tugged the envelope into her pocket and grabbed Sulli in the arm, ready to make a beeline for the next destination.

"Umm I am not really hungry. I am going to the cafeteria," Sulli was still in awe. She never thought the quiet and soft Seohyun had this energetic side. She almost seemed hyperactive. Furthermore, she was not ready to face the other people yet. She did not want to meet 'those girls' in the cafeteria and receiving disgusted looks from the other half of her classmates that isolated her. She had even forgotten to bring pocket money to school after not eating during recess and lunch for the past few weeks. However, her rumbling stomach revealed that she was in need of food now. 

"Haha you see, bodies don't lie! Let's go and have a seat at my table. The girls will be more than happy to welcome a new friend. A nice and pretty one!!" This time Seohyun wasted no time and brought Sulli to the cafeteria before the latter realised what was happening.

"You sure are a good runner, Seohyun. You should join the race during Sports Day. I am sure you will add a gold medal to your House's pocket," Sulli was panting after running all the way from class to the cafeteria. She was standing awkwardly in front of Seohyun and her friends'. They were from her class. 

"Girls, I think you know her already. Nevertheless, let me introduce you guys again! This is Sulli! Sulli, they are Victoria, Luna, Krystal amd Amber," Seohyun did a formal introduction for them.

"Hi Sulli, don't be so fidgety. Come sit over here," Krystal offered a seat beside her. Although she seemed cold in class, she was acting really warm now.

"Thanks," Sulli said softly. "What would you like to eat? I can get it for you," Victoria popped up and offer. " I forgot to bring my purse so there's no need, really," Sulli was red-faced.

"Ahh no biggie! I will treat you as a welcome gift. I will get a sandwich for you, ok?" Victoria winked and left.

"Vic is being all maternal again. She is really suited to be call 'eomma'," Amber randomly commented.

"I think that's very nice of her. She is always so caring," Luna said. "Don't you think so, Sulli?" she added.

"Yeap," Sulli gave a short reply, unconsciously accentuating the 'p' on the tip of her tongue.

"How have your day been? Girls?" Seohyun asked.

"You asked as if we are not in the same class. Boring, of course!" Krystal was the first to reply.  

"How can it be boring? Don't you think that the historical places, structured and mythologies that Miss Hwang mentioned in her lesson were fascinating? What could be more enticing that myths of the Great Piramid? Which era could be more enslaving than the ancient Greece? I must visit these places before I die!" Luna said with dreamy eyes. 

"Perhaps you can be an archeologist! I am back!" Victoria suddenly replied and put the food tray on the table.

"Geez, c can you please make some sound when you walk next time? You scare the heck outta me!" Amber who was sitting beside Luna was patting her chest dramatically, as if she was at the verge of getting a heart attack.

"You can't blame me. This is how I roll. I mean how I walk, like an elegant cat. Anyway way come let's eat! I am starving!" Victoria said and they all dug in.

Sulli was amazed by how the girls interacted. She had never felt this at ease, not even when she was with 'the girls'.

To be honest, she had never thought to close to these girls before because they were the geeks. Nana and Sora had always been making fun of them. Although Sulli never joined in their bad-mouthing contest before, she felt ashamed for judges these group of so-called geeks. They were actually pretty good-looking if you looked closely and they had an even more pleasant personality.  Inner beauty really mattered more. The recess ended in their random conversation with Sulli midtly chewing her sandwich while listening to them.  

It had been two weeks since Sulli and Seohyun started passing letters to each other. Sulli vented all that she had been feeling into the letter. She was feeling much better than before and she could almost move on even though she had yet to understand why the girls hated her with so much fury. She thought her rainbow after the rain was finally going to appear. However, she was wrong.

It was a Thursday morning. Sulli entered the classroom as usual. Everything seemed normal except that there was a pink envelope on her table. 'READ IT ALONE" was written on it. Seohyun was nowhere to be seen but her bag was on her chair.

"Must from Seo even though she has never liked pink before. She has probably ran out of white ones, haha," Sulli retrieved the envelope and walked to an empty corridor to read the letter. She usually read the letters after going home but she was somewhat impatient today. However, her impatience came with a price.

Shattered pieces of papers fell from the envelope once Sulli opened it. She was shocked to discover that those were her lastest letter to Seohyun which she slipped into her drawer during recess last Friday.

"Why did she tear my letter?" Question marks flooded Sulli head as she gathered the torn letter. The envelope accidentally slipped from her hand and another piece of paper in blue colour fell to the ground. She picked it up and had a read.

Sulli was lost for words.
