Anyways, I'll skip to the "more important" events that happen along the story, because I, Lee Jinki, am not as important as Kim Jonghyun, and what happens with me and Hyo-Eun isn't as interesting as what will happen with her and Jonghyun.  And because I don't want to bore you.

So she finally persuaded me to help her sneak out.  I must have been crazy at the time, but I agreed and the next thing I know, it was morning...

I don't think I've ever seen anyone this excited to go to school.  Ever.

I waited outside for her to come out, so we could catch the bus together.  She skipped out wearing baggy pants (as in, 2 sizes too big for her), a sweatshirt, and not the most flattering shoes.  But then again, what do I know about fashion.  I'll just add another thing though: her hair was a bit... frizzy.

"None of my clothes fit.  But it feels good, you know.  They're actually too big on me."  She grinned.

"I didn't say anything."  I shrugged.

"Okay."  She shrugged back.

It was a quiet ride to school, and it was even quieter when we entered.

"So I'll see you after school."  She waved at me, and started walking towards the stairs.  So she will still be my friend?  I chuckled and walked towards my own class.

There was so much commotion and all in the class.  It had been a while since any of us came to school, so everyone was acting as if it were the first day of school.  And you know what the first day of school means.  YES, gossip!  Actually, I was discussing the new fashion designer, Choi Seung Hyun, and his new line of shoes, with a girl next to me. (Jonghyun wouldn't listen)  I'll admit, he was pretty darn talented.

"Jonghyun, do you think Hyo-Eun did it?"  I poked him on the cheek.

"No."  He scoffed, but he constantly his lips and wrung his hands.  I assumed he was nervous.

"Are you nervous?"

"About what?"  He glared at me.  Oops.

"A-about the math exam?"  I whimpered.

"Oh.  I thought you were talking about Hyo-"  he hesitated.  "I mean, no I'm not nervous."

I faced forward.

"Class settle down!"  The teacher clanked his cowbell.  Yes, he had a cowbell.  "Let's see; who might you be?"  He turned to face the girl who had just walked in.  She wore regular jeans, much too big on her, and I could not recognize the brand.  Her zip up sweatshirt was from Adidas, though not from Jeremy Scott's line.  The ones you see at outlets and such.  Her shoes, oh goodness, her shoes.  They were just disgusting.  I would never be caught dead in shoes like those.  Maybe if they weren't so dirty and ripped...

Her hair was a frizzy mess; she really needed a new cut and some highlights or something!  Her hair was so dead.  I couldn't see her face closely, but she seemed acne-free.

"I'm Park Hyo-Eun.  I sit in the back row."  She said.  Whoa, she's confident.  She tells the teacher where she wants to sit.  Like a boss.  Wait, Park Hyo-Eun?  Her name sounds really familiar.

"Ah, class, this is Park Hyo-Eun!  She moved here from -- where are you from?"

"I'm not new.  I'm Park Hyo-Eun, the girl that you guys used to insult all the time.  You guys probably don't notice me because I was such a fat failure before, but I came back, and I came back here to win a bet."  She was looking directly at Jonghyun while speaking.  Man, where did that confidence come from.  It almost gives me competition!

I looked at Jonghyun, who I had forgotten about momentarily.  He was frozen in his seat with these vicious eyes.  Uh oh...

Hyo-Eun's POV

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I have no idea where that confidence came from.  Whether it was because I wanted to stand up for my parents so badly, or because I wanted to prove everybody wrong, or simply because of Kim Jonghyun's flabbergasted expression, who knows?  But I stood in front of class, something I had never done before, and said these words so fiercely even I was a bit intimidated.  These 3 minutes were wonderful; however, they were ephemeral, and I did have to take my seat.  As I walked to the back of the room, I could feel every students' dubious eyes boring into my back.  I passed Kim Jonghyun, and the smirk I gave him was most likely not aristocratic.

"W-well, then, let class begin."  I knew then, that I had not only shocked myself, but the whole class, including the teacher.

Jonghyun's POV

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I was not a credulous person back then, and I will not be one now.  I am positive that Park Hyo-Eun couldn't do the bet, so she decided to ask someone to pretend it was her.  There was no way she could have done it.

I gave a low chuckle.  "That's not her."

"What are you talking about?  She just said she was Park Hyo-Eun."  Key whispered in response.  Unlike me, Key was one eager to believe.

"She obviously hired someone to act as her after-weight-loss-result because she couldn't do it.  Come on, do you think losing nearly half her body weight in one month is possible?  It's not."

"Oh...  yeah, you're right."  I prove my point.  "Oh, Jjong!  You're so smart!"  He nodded happily.  Ah, what a cutie.  He'll believe anything I say.  I smiled to myself.

I won, Park Hyo-Eun.  I won.

Hi, everyone!  How are you guys?  Was this chapter okay?  Heh, Key's not the only gullible one. LOL.
