Chunji’s POV

I was spacing out the whole lecture hours. I kept looking at the door and staring at ---‘s table.

*Why isn’t she here yet?* I wondered.

I gave her my jacket and told her to go to the nurse’s office.

*I didn’t scare her, did I?*

“Aish!” I dropped my head on the table. Why do I keep thinking about her? This is not me. I usually don’t notice girls like her. What happened to me? I suddenly started caring about her. Has cupid shot through me? or has ---- captured my eyes? I don’t think she has captured my heart. Well, not yet.

I groaned this time.

“Hyung…” Niel whispered at me. I raised my head and looked at him.

He nodded his head to the teacher and turned my head. Everyone was quiet and was looking at me.

Ms. Kang cleared . “Seems like something’s bothering you Mr. Lee.  You weren’t paying attention on my lecture.” She raised an eyebrow waiting for an answer.

“Nothing’s bothering me Ms. Kang. I’m sorry if I was spacing out.” She nodded her head and went back to talking.

I sighed in relief. Niel nudged me and mouthed. “What’s wrong with you?”

“I don’t know.” I mouthed back. Well, honestly I don’t know what’s happening with me.

Confusion was written all over his face. He shrugged and turned to the teacher pretending to listen.

I took a deep breath and entered the school. I was carrying my guitar on my right hand.

People stared at me as I passed. I wondered why.

Then I overheard girls gossiping… *About me?!*

“I heard she challenged Mi Hye yesterday. She’ll audition to represent their class for the competition. I never thought she had the nerve to do it.” I heard the girl said.

I clenched my teeth *Such a tattletale!*

I turned around and met the face of Mi Hye. She eyed me and my guitar. She cupped her hands on . “Oh boy! You were serious yesterday?!” I just glared at her. “So… Do you mind having audience watching you?” My eyes widened. *Oh my…*

“See you later then.” She tapped my shoulder hard and left.

I stomped my way to my room and the class began.

Classes went on like a blur. Suddenly, the bell rang. I went to my locker to get my guitar.

I was walking to my room while holding my guitar. I was getting nervous.

I gasped as I saw the state of our classroom. I saw students surrounding our room. I double-checked and it was really my classroom. I stopped walking.

A student saw me and pointed. “There she is.” I blinked. *Don’t tell me Mi Hye told everyone at school??!!* I felt my knees weaken.

I slowly walked and got inside the room. It was packed of students. I was already trying my best not to fall.

I saw Taeyeon and Seohyun. Shock was written all over their faces. They didn’t know I will join. When they recovered they smiled and pumped their fists in the air and mouthed “Aja! Fighting!”

I gulped.

Ms. Kang cleared . “You may start now Ms ----“

I slowly walked to the so-called stage in front. I heard whispers around as I passed. I reached the stage and faced the crowd. I fixed my guitar. I took a deep breath an d closed my eyes then started strumming. I sang the first line.

You, with your words like knives and swords

And weapons that you use against me

You, have knocked me off my feet again

Got me feelin' like a nothin'

You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board

Callin' me out when I'm wounded

You, pickin' on the weaker man

Well you can take me down with just one single blow

But you don't know, what you don't know...

When the chorus part came, I slowly opened my eyes. I don’t feel scared anymore. The only thing that was on my mind is that to make my revenge for Mi Hye successful. I kept my eyes at her as I sang.

Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your swithching sides and

Your wild fire lies and your humiliation

You, have pointed out my flaws again

As if I don't already see them

I walk with my head down

tryin' to block you out

'cause I never impress you

I just wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around

Somebody made you  cold

But the cycle ends right now 'cause

You can't lead me down that road

And you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

I started to feel comfortable singing on stage. I swayed my body to the beat and started smiling. I looked around and spotted my two best friends clapping their hands and swaying their bodies. I smiled at them. I looked at the other side of the room and met eyes with Chunji. And I can’t believe what I was seeing. He was also clapping his hands like everybody does, even his friends. He looks like.. like he was enjoying. He then smiled at me. I smiled back. I turned my head back to Mi Hye again, emphasizing each word that was meant for her.

And I can't see you years from now in a bar

Talkin' over a football game

With that same big loud opinion

But no one's listening

Washed up and ranting about the

same old   bitter   things

Drunk and grumblin' all about how I  can't sing

But all you are is mean

All you are is mean...and a liar...and pathetic

And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean,  yeah--ah

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so...Someday

I'll be livin in a big ol' city (why ya gotta be so mean)

And all you're ever gonna be is mean (why ya gotta be so mean)

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (why ya gotta be so mean)

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

I smirked at her as I did the last strum. I wanted so badly to see her reaction. She stood up from her seat and stomped her way out the room. Her face was fuming with anger and I can sense some jealousy. *Serves you right!* Chunji was smiling at me and raised his thumbs up. I bowed 90 degrees.

*So this is how it feels like to be appreciated especially by your long-time crush.*
