The sun shine brightly right in front of my eyes,waking me up from my sleep.I open my eyes little by little and saw omma opening the curtain of my window,

“Omma, why did you open the curtain?” I cover myself with blanket to block the sunshine.

“What do you think you’re doing” omma flip my blanket, making me fall onto the floor,

“Omma!! It hurt!” I whine and scratch my eye

“Stop whining and look at the clock what time is it!” she shout at me,

With blurry eyes I take my clock. The long hand is in 12 and the short hand is in 8…

“8 o’clock!!” my eyes open widely, I run take my pale yellow and dark brown uniform and get change.

“AhYoung!!!Ppali!!” SeungHyeon shout with a don’t care tone,

“Jakkaman!!” I quickly brush my teeth and run down

“Omma, I’m going” SeungHyeon walk out from the house.

I take the toast on the table drink, my milk and take my iTouch,

“Omma, I’m going!” I look at my watch, it’s 8.15

I’m gonna get late if I go with bus, I ran as fast as I can to catch up with SeungHyeon.SeungHyeon is in his car, starting his engine,

“SeungHyeon!!!SeungHyeon!!” I hit the window, he open it

“Mwo?!” he shout,

“Can you drop me to my school?”

“Why should I?”

“Please…I’m gonna be late if you don’t let me in”

“Ok…I accept cash”

“What do you mean cash? You want money?”

he nod “do you wanna be late or not?”

“Ok” I open my bag and take out 100 Won.

“What is this? I can’t even get a liter of petrol”

“Stop talking and let’s go!” I shout

“Give me 10.000 Won or out!” he shout back,

“Ok…ok…” I scrambled my bag and take out the money.

“Here..happy?” he smile and start to moving the car,

I lay back on the chair, eating my toast.

I search my iTouch, and pluck the headset on my right ears,

“You know, I got 100.000 Won from you already”

I pretend not to hear him and finish my toast.

“Keep this up and I’ll be rich!!” He shout happily,

“YA!!Stop talking, I’m sure I’ll not wake up late tomorrow!”

“I don’t think so…You’re a pig. Since you went to high school you always wake up late”

I pluck out the headset and throw my iTouch to his head.

“Aoww!!”

“Shut up!”

My phone suddenly ring, ‘I don’t Care’ music fill the car.

“Agh…really noisy, answer it…FAST!!” SeungHyeon shout with an unpleasant face,

“Araso” I flip open my phone and answer it

“Yobuseyo” I say

“YA!!!AhYoung!!Odiga?” YuRi on the line shouting

“I’m in the car”

“Do you know how many more minutes till the bell rang?”

I look at my watch it’s almost 8.30!!!I hang up YuRi call and start shouting to SeungHyeon “Ppali” pointing at the clock,

“Shut up!”

My hands and feet shaking panic, my eyes is stuck to the clock, my heart beat faster every time it changes it number. It only take 2 minutes, till I can read ‘NoRae’ Music Academy from outside the window

“Thanks” I ran out form his car to the school’s gate.

I look around trying to find YuRi,

“YA!!” someone pat my back hard

“What take you so long, and you know that you owe me an apologize right?”

“Araso… Mian, I hang up on you” I apologize,

she smile “Araso, let’s go! The bell almost rang and we still need to pass this big yard”.

Just when we both pull the door open, the bell rang,we pant and take a breath from that close dead call,

“YuRi I’m happy that you’re not late, I’m worry sick of you” DaeSung shout

I look at her and make a suspicious smile,

“What’s with that smile?” YuRi still panting

we both walk to our desk, YuRi pull her chair and sit next to me. DaeSung walk closer to YuRi, but she didn’t realize it yet

“Run” I whisper,

“Mwo?” she look at me with a confuse face

I point at DaeSung he’s only 1 meter far from her. YuRi open her eyes widely and stand on his feet, preparing to run

“Where do you think you’re going?” DaeSung stop her holding her hand,

“Let go of my hand” she shake it off,

“Don’t be so mean, I just want to tell you that I’m worried bout you”

“Now that you already told me that..GO!!” she shout

DaeSung let go of her hand “Maybe I can pick you up and drop you home with my car everyday”

“No thanks I don’t need that” she sit back,

“You know that I’ll always wait you till you love me” DaeSung smile and walk back to his sit.

“I’ll always wait you till you love me” I mock YuRi

“Stop it! It’s irritating!” she shove her hair back,

“That’s the point!”

“Hey, everybody today our math teacher is absent, so study by your own” our class president told us.

“I don’t know why don’t you like DaeSung, he’s rich, funny and of course really popular. Almost every girl want to date him” I say

“Well…I don’t, and I think he’s not that good-looking”

“I think so too!” I shout

“Then why did you just explain to me that he is SO great?”

“I don’t know” I shrug

“Anyway don’t you want to study?” YuRi ask,

“You want me to study math?” I look at her with a confuse face

“I’m sorry you hate math, but you still need to study it for the exam” she warn

“Don’t worry” I take a book from my bag and walk out the room,

“Where are you going?” YuRi ask

“Music room, I need to study this piece” I show her my music book.

“Chopin? I thought you were practicing Mozart’s song” YuRi ask

“I finished it” I run outside ignoring YuRi.

I run as fast as I can on the corridor, I stop, I thought that I heard somebody foot step. I run to the nearest toilet open the door and throw my book to the floor, I come out, pretending that I just doing my business there.

“AhYoung what are you doing? Why aren’t you in your class?” she ask

“Aa… annyong! I just doing my business in there” I say

“Oh…I thought that you want to go to the music room” she say

“Ha?! Ani! I don’t even bring my music book” I show her both of my hands,

“I know, but you really need to study more, than playing piano. Araso?”

“Ya…but I thought that I already got a pretty good grade” I complain

“I know always got to the top 5, but why don’t you try to be no.1, once in a while?”

“Nah…it’s too much work.”

“I have no time to talk to you” she walk pass me,

Like I have time to talk to her, I roll my eyes. I look at her, just a few more steps and 1 more turn,she suddenly turn around “Don’t you need to go also?” she ask

my heart jump “Huh? Oh yeah…” I walk the other way,

“Isn’t your class this way?” she ask again

why did she have to ask so many questions?

I turn around “Actually…the teacher call me, so….” I point to the way and go.

I walk with a slow step, I look back to check

she realized “What?” she ask,

“Nothing…I just think that your clothes is really nice today” I smile and run to the other corner

I turn around and peep silently from there. After a few minutes she finally gone from my sight,I run to back to the toilet and take my book.

“Why did she have to walk so slow” I mumble

I jump and tip-toed around in the battle field.This is the last turn an I’ll be in the music room! OK!!! I look around, nobody’s here…GOOD! I run to the usual music room I use, hold the handle and look around,suddenly the door open dome the inside and…

BUMP!!!

I fall to the floor “Aoww” I hold my forehead

“Mian…eh AhYoung” a familiar manly voice, he bow down and give him his hand

I take his hand look up to know who help me

“Sunbae” I look at him with a angry face,

“I take my sorry back” he smile.

I look at him, annoyed “I don’t need your sorry anyway” I take my hands off him,

“What do you want to do in the music room anyway?” he ask

“What make you think I want to go into the music room?” I ask him hastily

“That” he point to the Chopin book I bring,

I hide it behind my back quickly “Too late” he smile

“I just want to play this piece” I look the other way

he slightly took the piece away from my hand.

“What is this? Chopin?” he flip the pages

“Hey give it back” I take it from his hand

“I don’t think you can play that piece” he smile try to mock me,

“I’ll show you that I can play this in a week, just move!!!”

“I don’t need to know. I just want you to know that you’re in a big trouble if I know you want to play the piano right now”

“I don’t care if you’re the president of the student council, tell the principal if you want. Just move away!” I push him aside.

I open the door and walk towards the shiny black grand piano, I stop my step, but I still hear another footsteps. I turn around, and see sunbae right behind me.

“Get out!” I push him out,

“Let me just play that piece to give you an example”

“I don’t need it! I already have it in my iTouch”

I push towards the door “Stop!! I’m gonna hit the door!”

he push the door get out by himself, I quickly close and lock the door.

“Finally” I walk and sit on the piano bench,

taking a breath, I put my hand into my jacket pocket to find my iTouch but there’s nothing there, I search on my skirt’s pockets, the only thing I found is my handphone,

“Where is it?” I still look around like crazy

I take my book and walk out from the music room. I run to my classroom and slide the door hard, everybody is looking at me for a while and then back to what they’re doing. I run to my desk searching through my bag pack,

“Where is it?”

“What are you trying to find?” YuRi ask

“My iTouch I can’t found it” I talk desperately.

“Just try to remember it slowly...... where did you last put it?” YuRi try to calm me down

“I take it from my table in the morning and put it in my bag. That’s it!”

“Nothing else?” she ask

I think for a while “Oh…I turn it on in SeungHyeon’s car…” my voice get smaller.

“SEUNGHYEON!!” I shout

I take my handphone out from my pocket searching for ‘er’ in my contact, I press the call button and it’s show ‘calling er’,

“Answer it…Ppali” my feet shake really hard

“Calm down” YuRi patted me

“Yobuseyo?”

“YA!!! SeungHyeon!! You stupid jerk!! You know that my iTouch is with you but you don’t gave it to me?! Bring it to my school right now!!! Araso?” I shout like it’ll be the end of the world

“Yobuseyo?” a voice of a guy that I never hear before come out

“Don’t play with your voice!! I know it’s you moron!! Bring it right now!!”

“Yobuseyo?” he repeat

“Stop making that stupid voice! I hate it!”

suddenly I can hear banging noise from the other line

“Yobuseyo? Whoever you are you better run to a save place right now” another voice come out.

“SeungHyeon could you stop making and changing your voice?” I started to get irritated

“SeungHyeon is not holding the phone, he’s in the toilet”

“So who answer the phone just now?”

“JiYong. I think he’s really mad when you say that his voice is horrible and stupid, maybe he’ll call you. Good luck and bye” he close the conversation with a light voice.

I close my phone looking at YuRi “YuRi do you know this guy name JiYong?” I ask, she nod “He’s the scariest guy in Seoul, you better not get anything involve with him” my face start to get pale, suddenly my phone rang I look at the screen, it’s written ‘unknown no.’ my heart start to beat very fast, is it JiYong? I answer the phone

“YA!! Where are you right now?” I can hear his irritated voice from the other line. I immediately close my phone and start to run out from my class.

My phone rang again, this time it’s a text. I open it and it reads ‘if you don’t answer my phone again, you’re dead” after a few second he call again, I press the reject button

who care if I answer it or not, I’ll be dead anyway. Where should I go? I keep running up and down and without I’m knowing I come back to the music room. I think I’m gonna be safe here.
