Surviving SchoolChapter 4
Waking up for school was now a hard routine for Bom since now school was something Bom dreaded. Bom rubbed her eyes drowsily and wearily walked to the kitchen while wearing a huge jacket to cover her stains on her school shirt. Bom secretly pretended to enjoy her new school for the sake of Minzy. Minzy idolised Bom and it would definitely hurt Minzy if she found out how Bom was treated at her new school.
“Bye Minzy!” Bom yelled while flashing a fake smile.
Bom walked into the school and today was much worse than yesterday. As soon as she placed her foot inside the school everyone stopped to glare at Bom. People were all whispering to each other while folding their arms. Bom could hear nasty remarks already. Most people around her even started laughing at her.

A girl who was holding a mirror was the first person to approach Bom. She was very beautiful and easily could be a super model.

“Bom stop crying. You are a strong minded girl and crying will only make you look weak and easier to pick on……” Jiyong whispered.
Bom buried her face on Jiyong’s shoulder.
“90% of the school is against me…. All I wanted to do was to change the school and give the “commoners’ a sense of belonging……” Bom whispered while her head was lying against Jiyong’s shoulder.
“I’m not against you…i support you. ”
Jiyong gently patted Bom’s back while she continuously kept weeping on his shoulder.
“Bom I have a present for you. Since you wanted a library, I bought you textbooks.’ Jiyong reached for his bag and pulled out several brand new textbooks. Bom stopped leaning on Jiyong’s shoulder to look at the new textbooks. They were the latest editions, something that she’ll never dream of using.
“Jiyong….I can't accept them. I won’t be able to pay y
