The year is 2021, and I am already in my senior year. I can say that my life has been peaceful since the day that my mom decided to move here in Seoul and spend my high school years in Seoul Techno High. I was relieved that I finally found peace that I never experienced during my middle high.
"Have you heard that Sparkle released their 2nd solo album yesterday? Omg! Wanna buy the album together?" Yuri happily reported then proceeded to shake my shoulders.
"Hehe...I don't even stan them", I smiled apologetically while scratching my nape.
"Ugh! Then come with me to the cafeteria", she sulked.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll come with you" I smiled at her awkwardly.
Since it's the first day of school the cafeteria's already crowded even though it's only the morning break.
"Wow. The tteokbokki line is so long. Hey, I'll fall in line here, go get us some drinks", Yuri said. Well, typically the drinks got more people fighting for their spot.
"You old sly", I exclaimed then proceeded to line for the drinks.
The line quickly shortened since the drinks didn't need to be prepared anymore. I ordered banana milk then quickly headed back to Yuri when I noticed a commotion near the tteokbokki stall.
"Hey bitch! Don't cut the line!". I quickly ran to see who owned that familiar voice, and as I guess it was Yuri.
"Excuse me...excuse me" I tried to sneak in but the crowd got thicker.
"Did you just call me bitch?", the other girl screamed.
"Yeah, and what about it?", Yuri answered back provoking the girl.
At this rate, things might escalate. Yuri can't even defend herself and yet she's acting like a tough one.
"You old hag!", the other girl screamed and started attacking Yuri.
"Excuse me...excuse me..." I reiterated, and started using force to make my way.
It's too late, Yuri and the others started waving each other's hair.
"Don't mess with me bitch. I'm older than you", Yuri shouted.
"I said don't call me bitch", the two of them still grabbing each other's hair.
I finally got the chance to get near the two of them, and I started to pull them away from one another.
"Ouch!", the other girl exclaimed when she fell down to the floor.
Oh no! I didn't mean it. I think I have overdo it.
"Yeah, cry now. My boyfriend's here and he's gonna beat you to death", Yuri wrapped her hand around my neck and caressed my hair.
"Y-yuri, stop. You're choking me", I cried.
Can't this girl stop playing around?
"ARAAAA!", a stern and deep voice echoed in our area. The crowd made a way for a single person.
"Harold Oppa, they hurt me.", the girl called Ara cried while clinging to the man's biceps.
A/N: used by women to call their older brother or lover
Hey don't tell me, I'll have to fight him? He looks like a sack of rice and I'm just a grain. Our weight comparison just didn't make sense.
"Who hurt my darling?", he screamed. He kinda reminds me of an ogre.
"Well, the thing is..." I step up to explain the situation.
"YOU DARE TO HURT HER?", He lifted my whole body with just his hand in my collar, and honestly his breath stinks.
"Yes, we did it because she's acting like a bitch", Yuri added while folding her arms in front of her chest then the girl cried. Oh come on, it's so obvious she's faking it.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
"No...No... what she meant is that it was all an accident, a misunderstanding-" I wasn't able to finish what I am about to say, when his fist directly hit my face with a massive force that sent me flying a few steps on where he stood.
Jayden and Johnny hit me most of my middle high years but those are nothing compared to his power.
I saw him approach the area where I landed and I started to feel the pain and fear I've felt before.
"No...no...let me explain. We're so–"
I passed out.
When I came to my senses, my eyes were blindfolded, while I'm still lying on the floor.
"Finally, you're awake!" it was Yuri's voice. I can feel that she is annoyed.
Someone took the blindfold away, then I realized that we were at the rooftop of the freshmen's building.
"I told you she started this first!" Yuri exclaimed while kneeling and looking at the persons in front of us, Harold and Ara sitting in his lap.
"Hey, why aren't you kneeling? Do you want to get hit by the boss or something?", another person forced me to kneel and face his boss, Harold.
"Make your girlfriend apologize to Ara, or else I'll beat you to death. You know I don't beat women", Harold exclaimed while caressing his baby beards.
"Hey, she's not my girlfriend–", I was kicked in the face by his assistant.
"Just tell her to apologize", Harold insisted. "Don't embarrass me" ,he added.
"Hey, don't be stubborn...Apologize to her, or else he'll kill me for real", I pathetically begged her.
"I am not afraid of him", Yuri spit in front of them.
Oh Crap! I didn't expect her to be so stubborn.
"Come on! I'll buy you the album you're talking about, just say sorry to her", I nearly cried while betting my 23,000 won.
"You sure?"
Finally she caught the bait. I nodded desperately.
"Come on, the time is running!", Harold teased.
"Sor—I can't, she has a bitchy face!", Yuri yelled.
"That's it", Harold exclaimed.
I feIt someone kicked me in the face, and my senses turned into blank.
First day of senior year and I have already passed out two times. My body hurts like hell. I haven't worked up like this since middle school. I woke up and found myself in the infirmary.
"S-sorry", Yuri apologized with her arms folded in front of her chest, avoiding my gaze. She's so proud.
"What happened? Who brought me here?", I asked innocently.
I can see some wound patches in my face, arms and feet.
"Oh, the moment you passed out they got terrified I might report them to the dean. So, they brought you here and even said they're sorry for what they've done", Yuri shrugged her shoulders and ate the apple I think she had brought for me.
Flashback...
"Who dares to hurt my Young Miss?" Yuri's bodyguard suddenly sprang to the front floor while doing some Muay Thai.
"Oh, quit it. Help me here" Yuri rolled her eyes and heaved a sigh.
"Coming milady"
"Who the hell are you? Some giant catfish?" Harold told him sarcastically because of his mustache that looks like that of a catfish.
Yuri's bodyguard didn't reply, instead started teaching the brats some lessons.
"Oppa!", Ara annoyingly exclaimed while attending to Harold who had been in great pain, together with his other two assistants.
"Please spare my life!", Harold cried while kneeling in front of Yuri's bodyguard.
"That's more likely. Don't ever try to hurt my Young Miss and his little friend here, eh? Understand me? Respect your seniors. You freshmen have a long way to go. I don't know why kids these days are so rude to their elders" The four of them nod and apologize repeatedly.
"Hey cut the crap there, and help me bring Dylan in the infirmary!", Yuri yelled.
"For you, Milady"
End of Flashback
"Phew, thank God we're saved", I exclaimed. Yuri then opened her hands in front of me.
I looked at her confused in which she just rolled her eyes.
"You promised me my album!!!", she nagged.
"What? You didn't even ask for their apology", I uttered.
"Hmpp, you're so heartless!" she yelled and left me there.
The nurse has allowed me to go back to my afternoon class since there's nothing serious about my injuries. I also removed my patches to not create a fuss, and so to not make mom worried about me.
"Yeah, when I told them that we're seniors, they were terrified so much", Yuri bragged.
"I bet they won't disturb you anymore", Charles added.
I heaved a sigh, when I realized that Yuri's bragging in front of her friends again.
"Dylan's here!", Nelly shouted.
"Are you okay already?", Yuri asked.
"Hey, he's fine. Right?", Charles tapped my shoulder which sent some sting in my body.
"Eek...Y-yeah, I'm fine", I responded then immediately removed his hand from me.
"Hey, stop hitting Dylan. He still owes me an album", Yuri called on Charles.
I laughed nervously and scratched the back of my head.
"Class, seat down. I have to introduce you to someone." Ms. Na, our Mathematics teacher, entered the classroom.
"He has been scouted to be a member of the country's taekwondo team, which makes it an honor for us to have him in this school", she added.
"Please come to Mr. Park, and introduce yourself", she added.
"Oh! We'll be having a new classmate. I hope he's handsome", Nelly giggled.
A man entered our classroom and stood beside Ms. Na.
I suddenly passed out when I saw the man who just entered our class room.
NO...NO....NO.....
"Good afternoon everyone. I'm Simon Park, I'm from Busan but I temporarily live here in Seoul. I hope we get along"
I'm doomed.
