[CONTENTID1]—SCHOOL DAY: MONDAY—[/CONTENTID1]

[CONTENTID2]Yuri and Ailee had shown up to school earlier than usual holding a stack of papers; walking the halls they started handing them out one by one to people that were already at school.

"What is this?!" Gina questioned as she quirked her eyebrows. It was a picture of Lin's face photo shopped on a very pregnant body with words that read 'PREGNANT TRAMP' on top and at the bottom it read 'Man stealing sleeps around and gets impregnated!'

"What does it look like? It's a flyer, you moron!" Ailee glared. Gina glanced over quickly and glared and averted her eyes towards Yuri.

"This isn't even Lin, you idiots!" Gina interjected crumbling the piece of paper and threw it at Yuri's face. "How dare you guys even make assumptions like this!"

"Assumptions honey?" Yuri laughed. "It's the truth!"

"That's far from the truth," Gina stated as she crossed her arms. "She's not pregnant nor did she steal anyone's man especially not yours, because you’re single.”

“Girl, you’re wrong! She stole Seungho from me.” Yuri exclaimed as she stomped her foot. “That needs to stay away from him because he belongs to me.”

“HA HA HA, don’t make me laugh.” Gina chuckled. “You’re in denial. Seungho doesn’t belong to you. As a matter of fact, he didn’t even love you. He TOLERATED you, there’s a difference.”

"Are you sure you're Lin's friend, Gina unnie?" Ailee chortled, quickly changing the subject as she saw the angry look on her friend’s face. "There is obviously something she's hiding from you." 

"I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but I don't have time for this nonsense!" Gina spoke as she was irritated. "Ailee, you better get to practice in like 10 minutes." She flipped her hair and walked off. Ailee rolled her eyes as she watched the captain of the cheerleaders strolling off. She continued to pass out the flyers with Yuri and plastered them around the school bulletin as well as lockers. 

10 minutes later...

Lin arrived to school with Chanhyo, Seungho, and the nerds in tow. When they walked into the school—there they saw all the flyers plastered all over the bulletins, lockers, and all shattered around the floor. Everyone halted as they saw Lin and stared at her; even the people she knew stared as if she was the plagued of the school. Yoseob sauntered over to the bulletin glancing at the flyer while reading what it said, instantly feeling raged, he tore down the flyers on the bulletin as he ripped them into pieces and threw them on the ground. The others went to do the same as Lin stood there in shock, not saying a word or moving at all. She was like a statue. 

"These flyers are a classic, aren't they?" Yuri asked ambling over as they continued to tear the flyers one by one.

"You did this, didn't you, ?" Chanhyo screamed in anger. 

"Yes, what are you going to do about it?!" Yuri sniggered as she rolled her eyes at Chanhyo, and then averted her eyes towards Lin. Seungho immediately went to Lin’s aid and wrapped his arms around her waist; rubbing at her arms, hoping that it calmed her nerves as he knew that Lin was raging inside but too stiff and in shock to do anything about it. Just then, Mr. Choi trotted over as his eyes were wide hearing Yuri’s confession. He kneeled down and picked up a piece of paper that wasn’t ripped and looked at it as it piqued his interest—reading it he was in absolute shock, not sure of what to say. He continued to stare, finally coming back to reality as he heard Chanhyo release her wrath.

"I will annihilate your sorry fat !" Chanhyo bellowed. 

"You have some explaining to do, Ms. Kang!" He snarled. "I don't condone like this at school!" 

"It wasn't me, Mr. Choi," Yuri contradicted as she narrowed her eyes. 

"Oh, yeah?" Mr. Choi asked, clearly agitated. "I heard you loud and clear that you admitted to it." 

"Ugh," Yuri heaved a sigh as she ran her fingers through her long dark tresses. 

"I am not going to send you to Mr. Park's office. I am going to handle this situation and give you the punishment where I see fit," Mr. Choi stated as he crossed his arms across his chest and peered over to Lin. "Ms. Lin, is Yuri giving you any problems?" 

"The flyer says it all, Mr. Choi." Seungho spoke up. He held onto Lin gently but securely. She pried herself away from her boyfriend and ran off—the nerds immediately running after her.

“Ms. Kang, it looks like you caused some emotional damage.” Mr. Choi exasperated. He glanced back over toward Yuri who rolled her eyes. “There are consequences and you’re going to get punished for them.”

“If I’m going to get into trouble for it, so should Ailee.” She snitched. She wasn’t going to go down alone in this if she was getting into trouble. Ailee had her fair share of helping out, and she’s going down as well.

“It’s always the two troublemakers.” Chanhyo exclaimed.

“I will deal with her later,” Mr. Choi explained as he kept his arms crossed. “Hereby today, you are suspended for the week. If I catch you doing anything like this again, your is getting expelled. Do you understand?” Chanhyo and Seungho gazed at each other as they silently chuckled. Yuri was finally getting what she deserved.

“Understood, Mr. Choi,” Yuri huffed.

“But before you go, I’d like you and Ailee to clean this up. I want it to be spick and span.” Mr. Choi commented. “Have a nice day.” And he was off. Yuri groaned as she stormed off in anger.

“The finally got what she deserved.” Chanhyo laughed out loud.

“I know! Karma caught up to her.” Seungho chuckled. “If she keeps this up, she’ll get expelled and we won’t ever see her again.”

“And that’ll be a good thing. I can’t stand her. I don’t know why you ever dated her in the first place, Oppa.”

“Out of pity, I guess.” Seungho shrugged.

===

The bell rang…

“Noona!” all the nerds yelled in unison as the bell rang for 1st period. They didn’t want to miss class, but yet, they didn’t want to leave Lin alone as she locked herself in the ladies restroom. She cried in there. Alone. She stared into the mirror as her eyes were slightly red and swollen from the crying she endured; she placed her makeup bag on the counter and she began to fix herself up to make her look at least presentable in front of people. She wasn’t going to let anyone see her like this.

“NOONA!” Cheolyong called out. “If you don’t come out, I’m going to call Seungho hyung!”

Lin continued to stay quiet as she ignored the nerds. She knew that they were worried, but she didn’t feel like speaking. This was her being her stubborn self.

“The bell has rung, why aren’t you guys heading to class?!” Mr. Jung inquired as he peered at the nerds. They gulped as Mr. Jung scared them. Cheolyong and Dongwoon had 1st period with him. Uh oh.

“We aren’t ditching class, Mr. Jung. It’s just that Lin noona hid herself in the restroom and she’s not answering nor coming out,” Dongwoon explained.

“Yeah, we didn’t want to leave her.” Cheondung chimed in.

“Get to class,” Mr. Jung ordered. The nerds didn’t budge.

“We aren’t going to leave unless we know Lin noona is okay.” Yoseob replied as he gulped. He has never spoke to a teacher like this, so this shocked his friends; the ones who knew him the longest.

“Yang Yoseob,” Cheondung laughed. “I didn’t know you had it in you to speak to a teacher like this.”

Mr. Jung cracked his knuckles as he grimaced at Yoseob. He couldn’t believe that a child would speak to him with such disrespect.

“Are you disobeying orders from your elder?”

“No, sir,” Yoseob apologized. “It’s just I don’t want to leave until she comes out.”

“I will take care of it. Just please get to class,” Mr. Jung pleaded with them. They took deep breaths and exhaled; finally giving in as they all meandered to class. Mr. Jung shook his head as he watched them walk off; instantly knocking on the restroom door.

“Ms. Lin, its Mr. Jung. Are you okay in there?”

“Yes,” Lin answered softly barely audible. She cleared and spoke clearly. “I’ll be out in a minute.”

“Open the door,” He demanded.

Lin swiftly sauntered to the door and unlocked it. Mr. Jung slowly opened the door as he meandered inside, closing it behind him and locking it. He glanced at Lin with worrisome perched upon his face.

“I heard what happened earlier,” He explained. “Mr. Choi told me. Girls can be so mean,”

“Mean doesn’t even describe it, Mr. Jung.” Lin replied sadly. She procured her makeup and stashed it back into its content and placed it back into her backpack. “Yuri and Ailee are downright awful. I hope karma will bite them in the .”

“What happened between you and Yuri?” Mr. Jung inquired as he gazed at Lin crossing his arm. “You two used to be best of friends,”

“That’s the thing,” Lin heaved a heavy sigh. “She wasn’t my friend. She used me to get close to Seungho. When they started dating, she cut all ties with me, and now that I’m dating him, she suddenly hates me even more because I stole her man, according to her.”

Mr. Jung couldn’t help but give a small chuckle as he listened intently to Lin explain the story. He couldn’t help but to think this was completely outraged; high school drama. But then again, this was high school after all.

“And now she’s spreading horrible rumors about you being pregnant?”

Lin sighed heavily as she peered at her P.E. teacher.

“I guess the pregnancy isn’t a lie,” she replied. She closed her eyes as she held back her tears that wanted to fall again.

“Wait,” Mr. Jung halted as he inhaled and exhaled; completely shocked at what he was hearing. It turned a 360 on him as he wasn’t expecting to hear this, especially not from Lin who was a straight A and honor roll student. “You’re pregnant?”

“I am,” Lin answered truthfully. “The fact that she spread t
