The day commoners officially started their classes had finally come. The three of them meet outside the gate of Maple, getting ready to face whatever bull that they are going to face. Taking a long breath, they entered the campus together only to stop in their track by a bucket of water splashing onto their faces, drenching down their brand new school uniform. Students around started laughing and threw color balls at them. Lay was trying his best to protect himself and shielding Winni behind his back while Chen was all mad, shouting his lungs out at the people around them. The commotion stopped when a group of six came forward making three of their eyes widen, recognizing the ones who threaten them the other day.

“Hey there nerdy.” Spoke Yoona, looking at lay, who immediately diver his eyes.

Sehun throws a knowing smirk at Winni which made her scrabble onto Lay’s back, hiding from his gaze and you can see the familiar scowl on Chen’s face looking at those bagel friends.

Their attention was dragged toward the guy standing in the middle, who definitely was the leader, when he snapped his fingers. They were confused for a second, why did he do that, until people around them stared throwing something, something greasy and liquidy. Ha..What a wonderful way of starting their new school. Winni lifted her heavy lidded eyes to the people around them, laughing their off, finally landing into that one guy who had a smirk plastered on his lips. His smirk grew only wider when he connected their eyes together. He lifted his two fingers, pointing them towards his eyes and then towards Winni’s , telling her silently that he have his eyes on her. That was chilling enough to send an electric spark down her spine but those eyes, those deep chocolate brown eyes, staring deep into her soul, made her feel the electricity for something else.

It’s already been two weeks since the three started school in Maple and there wasn’t a day they weren’t bullied. Coming to the school in their uniform and going back in their sportswear. Winni can just hope that one day this all will stop. Chen was the first one to achieve it. He was the bold one among the three, so people couldn’t take his constant whiny voice anymore and stopped bulling him so hard, except for the small pranks which are sure going to stop soon. Winni, finally did her research and found out about the master minds. They are called Fab 6 and had six members. Two girls and four boys. The two beagle friends who took a lot of interest in Chen, Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun, The good looking sleeping monster, Oh sehun, and the one who always bully Lay, Im Yoona and finally the leader, who is also the heir of Maple, Kim Kai and his girl friend Byun Sana. And the worst, she found herself in the same section as Fab 6. Thank god Lay and Chan were with her. Despite the constant glares and smirks from the y bronze guy, she just found him cute. Like a really cute cuddly teddy bear and she don’t know why.

It was another normal day and Winni was once again drenched by water from head to toe. She was sure that the fine quality the uniform is going to be worn out due to constant washing. Winni made her way to the sports room to change because she didn’t want to risk bumping into all those girls retouching their makeup in the bathroom, or probably makeup room as what they like to call. She changed into her spare uniform that she bought along; she knew she will need it. She was about to leave the place when a group of boy bragged in, hell knows from where, and started dragging her, hell knows to where. She was struggling and screaming, but was muffled down by a large palm against her lips. They dragged her into a hall way only to stop in their track finding Byun Sana, hand on her hips, fire burning in her eyes. Beside her stood Im Yoona, equally glaring, making them loosen their hold on Min Winni. They might be bullies, but they definitely don’t encourage this kind of behavior. Sana didn’t waste any more time and lunched herself onto the boys and just few more seconds, Winni found all of them on floor, clenching onto their stomachs, groaning in pain.

“Ya..I will give you three second. If you don’t off I will make sure you will be out of Maple and won’t be able to get admission in any other high school.”

That was enough for them to run away from Sana without looking back. Winni didn’t know she was shivering until she felt someone wrap a coat around her. Lifting her head she found Yoona smiling softly. Sana helped her stand and wrapped her hands strongly around Winni who still couldn’t stop herself from trembling. The three of them walked to the parking lot until they stopped in front of an Aston Martin Vanquish. Sana and Yoona made their way towards the car while Winni stood there, dumbfounded.

“What are you doing? Get in. I will drop you at your house.”

Winni snapped out of trance and immediately nodded her head, getting into the passenger seat. She gave her address to Sana who commanded the GPS. Winni was awestruck by the lavishness of the car. The rest of the car ride was peaceful with no noises except for the music playing in the radio. They reached their destination faster that they thought. Sana and Yoona were glancing around the neighborhood, fascinated, what do you expect.? It’s their first time in a, you know, normal neighborhood. Winni awkwardly bowed towards Sana, before speaking.

“Thank you so much today. I don’t know how to repay for your kindness but I will forever be grateful towards you.”

Saying that she gets out, walking toward a small house without looking back. Sana didn’t leave. She wanted to make sure that the girl was inside the house, safe and sound, before some kind of erts attack her. Winni pressed the bell, waiting for it to open. It finally  opened after a while revealing a women, who seemed to be not impressed seeing Winni. She didn’t let her in; instead she threw out few suit cases and banged the door shut onto Winni’s face. Winni didn’t try to knock on the doors; she just sat in front of the main door as rain started to pour, drenching her. Sana felt pity. She didn’t know what exactly happened but she was sure that Winni was vulnerable. She didn’t have a heart to leave her like that, so she got down taking an umbrella and walked towards Winni, holding it up and preventing rain from drenching them. Sana signs when Winni looks up with her tear stained eyes, mixed with rain water.

“Come with me”

Winni didn’t know how she ended up in this situation but here she was, in Byun Sana’s house, being treated like a princess. She got to take a long warm shower in what looked like a bathroom but double the size of her old house. She changed into a pair of silk pajamas that Sana let her borrow. And now, Sana was in front of her, treating her wounds she got in the morning. She felt so touched. It’s been so long since someone really took care of her. Oh..how she misses her parents now. She didn’t know she was crying until Yoona asked her what happened.

“Does it hurt? Am I pressing too much ...?”

Shaking her head, Winni pulled Sana and Yoona into a bone crushing hug. They were stunned by her sudden action but let it slide when they felt Winni weeping hard.

They broke the hug when she calmed down, sniffing and wiping her tears.

“Sooo….mind telling us what happened that made you cry so hard?”

“And that too if you’re comfortable with us.”

“Of coures I am comfortable with you. You guys helped me when I needed it the most. It’s just….I miss my mom.”

“Mom? Them who was the one we saw at your home.?”

“That’s my aunt. I am an orphan. My parents died when I was in middle school. No one wanted to take me in and my aunt was the only one who let me. But she never liked me. She always saw me as a burden. When she got to know that I got admission in Maple, she told me to leave her house. You know, her daughter also tried but she didn’t get it. So they were spiteful of me. She gave a week time but I couldn’t find a place. Today was the last day, so she kicked me out. If it wasn’t for you guys, I would have been on roads now.”

Yoona and Sana found them self’s feeling sorry towards Winni. They probably will never understand how it feels to be a commoner.

“You don’t have to worry. You can stay in Maple’s dorm. Since you are a scholarship student, I don’t think you have to pay for the accommodation. If you have to, then don’t worry. I will take care of it.”

Sana can see Winni tearing up again. Oh oh..befor they could regret, they were once again pulled for another bone crushing hug. Winni was really clingy. Sana and Yoona can only chuckle at that.

The very next day, Sana’s name was being screamed from the end of the hallway, booming through the whole place. It not only made all the students stunned but made Lay and Chen dumbfounded. And who was the one screaming.? It’s Min Winni. She was shouting and waving her hand furiously, running towards her. Once she reached her target, she pulled out two lollipops from her coat pocket, offering it to Sana and Yoona.

“Today is my birthday. I don’t have any Girl friends other than you two. And I also wanted to thank you for yesterday.”

Taking the lollipop, Sana unwraps it, putting into , giving Winni a smile.

“Happy birthday! So how is your new dorm? Is anyone bullying you?? Tell me if they are. I will take care of it.”

“No no..No one is bulling me. There aren’t many who stay in the dorm and the other scholarship students are also staying along so there will not be problem. And my dorm room is so pretty. I can just stay there forever.”

“Then its good...we can come visit you right?” spoke Yoona, showing of her gorgeous eye smile.

“Of course, you can come after classes. But I am not done unpacking.”

“It’s ok. We can help you”

“Really.. Then I am more than fine with it. We can have some girl time together.”

Winni was by now jumping and giggling. How can Sana and Yoona deny this cute human being? She was completely opposite to them. They were chic and sassy while Winni was cute and bubbly. Maybe making her their friend will not be that bad. On the other side, the four boys can’t just believe their eyes. Especially Kim Kai. His girlfriend, of all the girls in the school, should be the one who befriend that commoner? He was enraged. Sana clearly knew that Kai was against the commoners and wanted to show them hell. But why is she going against him and being all friendly with that peasant or may be a peanut.

He marched toward them with heavy steps and pulled Sana away from Winni, glowering at her.

“I …I..sh..should go..I..I..have a pr..Project to complete. see..you after the class.” Saying that Winni scampered away, dragging Lay and Chen with her, who were all the while were standing like statuettes.

Kai dragged Sana with him to a far corner before taking out his frustration.

“What the hell do you think you are doing..??!!”

“What did I do Kai..??”

“Why the hell are you speaking with that peasant...??!!”

“Listen Kai . I can speak to whoever I want to and you have no right to stop me. And Winni is my friend from now on.”

“WHAT..??!!”

“You heard me. Winni is my friend so stop bullying her. She is too innocent and fragile. If you don’t stop, I should have to take major steps in our relationship Kai.”

“Are you freaking pushing me away for that mere peanut?”

“Not yet kai..Not yet.” Saying that Sana left the place, leaving behind one seething Kai.

***

The star couple, Kim Kai and Byun Sana had a fight. This is the hottest news in Maple at the moment.  Kai and Sana did fight a lot, but they never fought to such an extent that they ignored each. Kai was really pissed at that certain peanut for causing a hassle in their relationship. He didn’t want to ruin it more so he quit bulling Winni. Winni was happy for finally having some peace but guilt was overwhelming. She was sad that she was the reason behind her new friend having a fight with her boyfriend.

It was recess time when Winni thought about doing something about them. She walked towards Sana who was chatting along with Yoona in the hallway. From the corner of her eyes she can see Kai stealing glances at Sana.

“Hi”

“Oh..Hi..How was your day..?”

“It’s good. How was yours.?”

“Nothing..Except for those stares I am getting from certain someone.”

“About that, why are you ignoring him?”

“Well.. Told him to stop bullying you and that idiot was not listening.”

“No no ...no one are bullying me…Definitely not Kai. He had stopped bulling me since the day he promised you. He is being loyal to his words but why are you still not talking to him.??”

“Hmm..welll..Partly because I am still a bit mad at him for treating you like that and partly because I don’t want to be the one who speak to him first.”

“Seriously ?? That’s your reason??” spoke Yoona, stunned. She tried to bring up the topic but Winni was fast enough to ask about it without any awkwardness.

“But don’t you think it is a bit too much. I am feeling guilty for being the reason behind all of this. I should be the one you should ignore.”

“Why should I ignore you??”

“Ok don’t ignore me but don’t ignore him either. Ego shouldn’t be the one ruining your relationship. If you don’t want me to feel bad, then you will go talk to him. Please..”

Ok.. But Winni looked so cute right now doing agieo in front of her. Sana can only chuckle, shaking her head. Thinking back, Kai did keep his promise, then why is she being stubborn not speaking to him. Maybe she should take Winnie’s advice for once.

She lifted her head to look at Kai, who immediately twisted his head away pretending as if he wasn’t staring at her. Blowing her bangs away, Sana walks towards the group of four and tapped on Kai’s shoulder. Kai was taken aback when Sana suddenly hugged him by neck, pulling him down to her body.

“What are y..”

“Don’t speak anything. Stay still.”

They stood there like that for few second, and Kai was having a tiny smile on his face by now. Sana abruptly pulled away, mumbling a small sorry into Kai’s ears, which only made his smile grow wider. She started running away from him, while Kai tailed behind her shouting that he didn’t get her which was obviously a lie. Winni was happy that the couple made up, but there was something that snapped in her heart when she saw Kai smiling wide for Sana and she she didnt know why.
