chapter 1
SakuraI still remember my childhood like it was
yesterday.
Such good times. My family and I, we lived by a
beach in the southern part of Korea. My older
brother loved to bring me out to the beach during
the Summer; sometimes the Winter too! Hyun
Joon would put my small 5 year old body on his
shoulders and run about the beach, myself
squealing like any other 5 year old girl would.
But it's all gone now. It slipped through my
fingers like sand. Soon it was all school and
stress. And of Hyun Joon? Well, he had gotten
married and had started running my Fathers'
business.
That leaves me. The baby of the family; the most
rebellious if I must say.
I'm just your average teenage girl- Well I try to
be.
Fall exams were speeding up to me like freaking
Nascar and I still hadn't studied. Let's have a
'To Be Honest' moment. In the kind of school I
go to...who the hell studies anyway? I bet half
the girls in my school just beg their parents to
buy the answers for them.
Not mine.
" Sora-ssi!" I had heard my bestfriend call out to
me. She had ran after me, knowing all to well by
now how lazy I am to stop and wait. I heard her
pounding footsteps as they loudly hit the bricked
walkway surface. "Naeun-ssi, what are you doing
all the way over here?" I had questioned, not
completely caring whether she had answered or
not.
I had stopped caring a while ago. I had turned my
head to see Naeun shrug her delicate shoulders, a
bright smile crossing her face. I will never
understand this girl. Naeun smiles for everything
and anything. Even if she's crying. I've found it a
bit weird...but then again isn't that why we're
bestfriends? Ah-ha! Logic.
"I just wanted to catch up with you before break!"
Naeun had perkily answered, eye smiling towards
me. I let a half-assed smile cross my face,
realizing break was a week away.
Naeun's chestnut brown hair bounced as she
walked with me towards our school, a bounce in
her step. Something was odd.
Very Odd.
"Naeun-ssi." I adressed, looking at her with extra
care. I found her smiling over at me several
seconds later. "Ne?" She said. "You're... really
happy today, aren't you..." I had observed out
loud. Naeun giggled, her big brown eyes meeting
mine. "Of course I am! Didn't you hear Sora?!"
This girl had excitedly shrieked, acting as if it
was a crime that I didn't know.
"H-Hear what...?" I mumbled, slightly afraid of
what could possibly come out of her hyperactive
mouth. Just then, she had run in front of me,
joining a mob of screaming girls.
What the hell? I thought. She had better have a
pretty damn good reason to be acting like this.
This isn't Naeun. She doesn't obsess over things
easily...and certainly not when it comes to
mainstream like this.
I already knew what was coming. That pompus
named Oh Sehun was going to emerge
from a ing van and every chick is going to
have her ovaries explode. I swear, it happens
almost every morning. Honestly, why can't we
just go to school like normal highscho- " It's
Sehun!! " I heard an earbreakingly loud teenage
girl scream.
I scowled and quickly made my way inside the
building before I got mauled by a mob of
obsessive teenage girls.
Well, goodmorning to me too.
I sat in my first class that day doodling when
suddenly my close friend Kyungsoo whispers in
my ear, " Did you hear some sort of news today?!"
I frowned and just stared at him for a moment.
What the hell is going on today!?
Knowing Kyungsoo, he continued anyway, without
my consent. "So you know Naeun; well duh, but
you know-" "Her obsession wiith Sehun all of a
sudden?" I cut Kyung off. He nodded, chuckling in
envy. "Naeun was supposed to be mine."
Kyungsoo had said through clenched teeth.
Now this was funny.
I let out a laugh against my will, resting my head
on my desk while my arms covered most of my
face. " I'm serious! " Kyungsoo had said in a half
hiss half whispered tone. I laughed more, causing
myself to hide my face in my arms.
" Mrs.Park! Would you like to share what you're
laughing about to the class?" My Chemistry
teacher had retorically asked. I had instantly
looked up, stifling my laughter. "Nope!" I had
casually replied, getting a disapproving stare from
my teacher.
After Chemistry I had lunch. Thank the heavens!
Not that I'm religious at all...but who cares.
Naeun had come running up to me at lunch with
Jihyun, Sunny and Riko all tagging behind her.
" Sora!! " Naeun had almost practically sang my
name. " What.Now. " I had said, almost 100% done
with the stupidness of this all. "I think Sehun
likes me!!" Naeun had said, giggling and then
blushing.
" Says who. " We had all heard a cold voice behind
us, causing us all; even me, to look at who it
came from.
" Oh Sehun..." I heard the words slip from Naeuns
mouth.
Oh Shiet. What could possibly happen, right? I
had watched it like it was a Drama almost. Sehun
had marched up to Naeun, staring her straight in
the eyes; looking rather pissed. "So you're this
Naeun I hear of, hm?!" He stated, staring at her
face. Naeun looked scared to death and you
know what I was doing?!
Sitting. I was sitting on my , doing nothing
but watching until something registered.
Easy girl. Nothing Special. Rumors. Naeun.
Naeun. "Naeun!"
I spat out, mentally murdering myself. I felt
everyones' eyes immiediately darting to me.
I wasn't the most prettiest girl alive...or pretty at
all in that matter. I had very long light brown hair
and large ish eyes with a high bridged nose and
full lips.
"I..I meant.." I stuttered. Sehun scoffed and
started with, " Commoners..."
That pissed me off. That pissed me off a lot
actually.
" Excuse me?!" I loudly interupted him. Sehun's
poisonus looking eyes had fallen on me again,
making me want to punch him square in the face.
"Excuse me? " He had said, as if I had stepped on
his shoes or something only rich kids care about.
"Some of us may be commoners, but I bet we all
have higher IQ's than you...what, do you buy
your answers?" I mocked, feeling sick to my
stomach.
"Who are you to say that! I walk all over people
like you! Get out of my way, commoner." Sehun
had purposedly said, shoving me out of his way. I
had realized there was a crowd of people that
had formed around us.
Plan B?
Time to die in a corner.
