(AFTER SCHOOL)

"HELLO TAEYEON, YOU LOOK PRETTY TODAY...IS THAT A NEW SKIRT?"

TAEYEON TURNED AROUND TO SEE WHO WAS TALKING TO HER AND SHE FOUND STACEY WITH A FAKE SMILE ON HER FACE.

"UMM...THANKS BUT EVERYONE IS WEARING THIS SKIRT...IT'S THE SCHOOL UNIFORM!"

STACEY, STILL WITH A FAKE SMILE ON HER FACE ROLLED HER EYES AND LINKED HER ARMS IN BETWEEN TAEYEON'S ARMS!

"TAEYEON, I JUST WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR ALL OF THE THINGS I SAID AND DONE TO YOU.  IT WAS A TEST TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN WITHSTAND ALL OF THIS STUFF AS A NEW STUDENT.  IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN AND SO YOU PASS!"

TAEYEON ROLLED HER EYES AT STACEY, "OK, WHATEVER YOU SAY AND UMMM PLEASE DON'T LINK YOUR ARMS WITH MINE, IT FEELS WEIRD AND I DON'T LIKE YOU."

TAEYEON LEFT STACEY STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET DUMBFOUNDED.

"THAT LITTLE TWIRP...SHE DOESN'T WANT ME TO BE NICE TO HER TOO HUH...WELL, WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!"

"PAPA...NICE TO SEE YOU!"

TAEYEON RAN UP TO WHERE PAPA WAS AND GAVE HIM A BIG HUG!  TAEYEON GOT INSIDE THE CAR AND WITHOUT TAECYEON GETTING IN THE CAR PAPA WAS DRIVING OFF.

"PAPA, WHAT ABOUT TAECYEON?  IS HE NOT COMING WITH US?"

PAPA TURNED AROUND TO LOOK AT TAEYEON WITH A CONFUSED LOOK..."I THOUGHT YOU GUYS DIDN'T LIKE EACH OTHER?"

TAEYEON QUICKLY LOOKED AWAY ACTING AS THOUGH SHE DIDN'T CARE, "WE DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER...IT'S JUST THAT I THOUGHT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME HOME WITH US LIKE NORMAL."

PAPA CHUCKLED A BIT BEFORE HE CLEARED HIS THROAT, "HE ISN'T TODAY DEAR, HE HAS PRACTICE, PIANO PRACTICE."

TAEYEON LOOKED AT PAPA WITH A CONFUSED LOOK, "WHAT TAECYEON PLAYS THE PIANO?"

PAPA NODDED HIS HEAD.
