To you, it might seem like the typical warm classroom setting. The typical white curtains, that lined the tall windows, fluttering in the cool autumn breeze carrying the smell of wet leaves and pumpkin patches.

Voices of cheerful high school students in gym class at the track field.

Gossiping and laughter that echoed off the seemingly bright halls of Korea’s famous Lybra Highschool.

Why yes, how fantastic that scenery must be.

Just so you know, this isn’t your typical dramatic highschool love story you might be expecting upon entering.

If you're still determined by this point to continue, buckle in and tighten that seat belt, make sure it's as tight as it can be, your gonna need it to be that way.

Trust me.

Just like the saying goes.

“Everything isn’t what it seems.”

Brace yourselves, everyone, this ride is going to be very unsteady.

Hope you can hang on till the end.

Apologies in advance and don’t hurt it severely.

This is my story.

..................................................................................................................................................

Sina Minho was hoping to get through the day without getting wet.

“Aria I told you to fill the bucket with ice water! Not lukewarm water idiot!”

“Sorry, Moon-Byul that's the only thing I could find in the janitor's closet.”

“Ugh! Whatever!”

Sighing Sina glared up at Kyo Moon-Byul, the classic bully that tormented her since elementary school and her cliche gang that followed her for her money.

Sighing again she slowly stood up from the puddle of water that grew as she sat there soaked, pushing her wet hair back she should have known better and paid more attention to today's horoscope reading in the daily newspaper.

Oh well, sucks to sucks.

“Hey you guys done yet for today? We got that history exam today after lunch.” Sina said in a bored tone as the mean girl wannabe posse got anger to see she wasn’t bothered by another round of abuse.

“Shut your mouth Gutter! I’m going to make you regret coming to school every day, then one day you'll finally drop out and leave!” Moon-Byul screeched at the top of her lungs and her girl gang around her nodded and agreed.

Sina laughed and crossed her arms, the other girls flinched not expecting her reaction. That made Sina tilt her head, shouldn’t they be used to her by now? Shaking her head she could care less regardless if they did or didn’t.

“That's a very cute goal you have! I can tell your parents must invest so much time into you! But take some advice sweetheart, graduation is going to come up sooner than you know it, pity you are still this pathetic.” 

Sina tsked and shook her head at the flabbergasted group.

At the sound of the bell indicating the next class, Sina couldn’t help but giggle at their expressions again and stretched her arms over her head, not caring at all about the water she was getting everywhere.

“Well, I’ll see you guys later than, at the same spot and time you like to harass me everyday at! Until then good luck on your test losers!”

Sina then turned and skipped to her next class, she didn’t slow her pace until she was out of their eyesight. Stopping she groaned annoyed, this was her only good set of school uniform for the week.

Her other pairs were still getting repaired from the amount of damage inflicted by Moon-Byul and her group.

She made her way inside her classroom and ignored the everyday whispers, finger-pointing, and laughter. Going to her vandalized desk in the back of the classroom she grabbed her bag and pulled out her track uniform.

Looking at it she frowned, the teacher was going to scowl her again and cause her to be late for the part-time jobs she had in the evening. After pondering for a moment she stuffed her track uniform back in her bag and pulled out a towel instead.

After the history test they had for today, the last class was gym and knowing she can easily suck it up and deal with being soaked for the time being to save that lecture and her track uniform from being possibly ruined.

Smiling to herself at her final decision, Sina laid out her towel over her seat and sat down.

“Yo Gutter your bra is showing!” A boy shouted at her from across the classroom causing the entire class to burst into laughter.

“Ew, she so desperate for attention it's gross!”

“Ugh, I wish scholarship students didn’t apply for this school!”

Sina simply pulled out her headphones and pretended she didn’t hear any of the chaos, it was so boring as it always is.

As they continued to through comments now and then Sina stopped listening and they ended up becoming background noise as she busied herself with cleaning her desk with what she could with an eraser.

The sound of the teacher entering was the only thing that caused her to pull her headphones out and look towards the front.

“Quiet down all of you, Jae-Shi please go back to your seat, the other seat there you go. Now then everyone I have news to share before we start today's lesson. We have a new student coming in from our sister school GYeongPo Highschool, please come in now transfer student and introduce yourself to the class.”

Sina rolled her eyes as an excited buzz made its way around the class. It's just another human being their age, she didn’t get what the big deal was and ended up turning away to look outside the window to the courtyard instead, tuning the classroom out as she couldn’t be bothered in wanting to know another person that wouldn't hang near her anyways.

She breathed in and followed a pretty orange leaf fall from one of the trees in the courtyard with her eyes. Letting her thoughts drift in her out she leaned forward and rested her head on her soaked arm as her heart pounded slowly to the rhythm of her pencil she tapped with her other hand on her desk.

Sina didn’t care to know what the lesson was the teacher was going over with them today, studying came easy to her and she would just confirm the notes later. As the bell rang for lunch a hand touched her on the shoulder pulling her from her dozing.

Immediately she smacked the hand away and sat up, glaring at the unfamiliar face of the guy sitting right next to her to she snapped, “You can’t just touch people to get their attention, ever hear about calling someone's name or being like, “Hey you!”, or something like that guy?”

The teen across from her looked startled at first then apologetic, “Oh my bad, I’m new here and I just wanted to introduce myself to you since I’ll be sitting next to you from now on.”

Sina sighed and shook her head, “That's some form of an apology but its whatever I guess, just don’t touch me kay? My name is Sina Minho, you’ll learn sooner or later to stay away from me.”

The teen looked confused by that and then laughed awkwardly, “I’m not sure what you mean by that, however, my name is HaRoo Nuan and I am really sorry about touching you I promise I won’t randomly without permission.”

Sina sat back in her chair and ran a hand through her half-dried hair, she was going to need to get it cut soon. Looking back at the teen named HaRoo Nuan, she took in his light brown hair, his hazel eyes and his expression that seem to still be confused.

“Listen, guy, I’m only going to say this once, you see all these kids in this room?”

Nuan blinked at her before glancing around the room, “What about them?”

Snapping her fingers to get his attention she looked him straight in the eyes. “You see since they can’t see it about me, that means neither can you. If you're confused by what I said then please don’t bother hanging around me more than necessary for your sake, you seem like a nice guy so go hang with those similar to you.”

Sina grabbed her back and then stormed out of the room without a single look back.

This was normal for her, and it's better to push the outsiders away no matter the case.
