Little Do You Know

Chapter 8

[Plans]

Nancy's POV

Calling my best friend's number a thousand times, she won't pick up probably because of her working-student duties. Oh well, I have to barge in the library at this hour.

It's five in the afternoon, the hallways of the school are almost empty.

Going towards the library, I'm so excited to share some tea. Dahyun's four eyes glued on the computer.

The other four working students were cleaning the library yet they're not surprised why I'm here.

"Hey, Kim!" I leaned forward to check what she's doing. She glanced at me "You know that we are about to-"

I squeezed myself on the chair, "hush, I'm here to gather some of your brain cells and share some tea."

Dayhun raised a brow "let me guess, this is about that 'girl from nowhere' right?"

I laughed in her face, "BINGO! You know what? Earlier this afternoon, after my interview in the student council. I saw that 'girl' passed by! She was restless looking for something."

She adjusted her glasses "uh-huh, keep going..."

"I eavesdropped on their conversation, she asked the janitor nearby if he saw her school ID somewhere. The janitor told her that he hadn't however he suggested checking it at the lost and found cabinet. And then, your pretty face flashed through my head!" I grinned.

"Ha.ha.ha. Pretty face your ass it's because I'm working here," my best friend rolled her eyes.

"Well, yes exactly. I have a gut feeling that she might dropped or left it here," I crooked.

Dayhun sighed. She opened the drawer and placed a lot of things, "these are the items I kept safely for today. I have to forward them later to the lost and found in charge. Maybe her ID was there. Can you still remember her face?" she flatly asked.

"Duh. How am I supposed to forget her jaw-dropping beauty? Her doe eyes, prominent nose, and the highlight of her pretty face is her shimmering smile. Those one-of-a-kind features my heart and mind will never forget," I adoringly said.

Monday. Yes, I cannot forget that day, "miss, I think this is yours..." her raspy voice tingled my heart. The girl's face was out of sight. She's like a barbie doll. She has blond hair, round eyes, and have a slender body that is perfect to be Korea's next top model. Wistfully, I grasped her tenderness only for a second.

And here I am, inside the library looking for clues about this mysterious girl. Solving this puzzle, I finally found the culprit's name who stole my heart.

"Lalisa Pranpriya Manoban. Japanese 1-B. March 27, 1997." I smiled at myself. My next target was spotted.

"Why are you so obsessed with this Manoban anyway?" Dahyun crossed her arms and glanced at me.

"I like her and I want her. She's hot, charismatic, pretty, tall, whatever. And look at me, I'm rich. I'm pretty. I'm smart. And the baddest bitch alive in this school. Therefore, I conclude we're perfect for each other," I boasted.

Wherever I go, men are chasing over me. They're crying and begging on their knees to hear me say yes though, for me, love is like a game. You play around, you have fun, you share secrets, you tell stories, you cry on each other's shoulders, you hold hands, you think about forever. However, I don't fall in love. The first one who does, loses.

On the contrary, I have a different feeling towards Lisa. Love at first sight is real. It is when you look into her eyes and I saw everything I need.

"Oh. Speaking of the devil, I remember she was with Jennie earlier this morning," Dahyun mentioned.

"Jennie Kim, our classmate??" I roughly asked.

"Yeah. Lisa accompanied Jennie because she borrowed a literature book while I was on duty," she asserted.

It was also the exact day I reunited with my ex-best friend, Jennie Kim. I was bewildered to meet her. Hatred spreads like fire throughout my body when I saw her pitiful face. She didn't change since the last time I saw her, shaky and cowardly. I couldn't believe my younger self liked her. Too bad, the tables have turned.

"So, what's your next move, Nancy?" Dahyun asked.

"Next move? This is my best move," I raised my jackpot of the day.

"Her school ID? Seriously?" she lifted an eyebrow.

"I want to make her mine," I blurted, holding her precious ID.

Her four eyes looked heavenward, "you're crazy," she monotonously said.

"Sorry, not sorry. This is how I play sissy. What Nancy wants, what Nancy gets," I smirked.

The following day, I went to their classroom with my head up high. Boys' and girls' mouths fell on the floor glaring at my charm as I walked down the hallway. This is my red carpet, people adoring my body with their eyes wide open. Some wouldn't even dare to look or point at me because they all know who's on top. Nancy Mcdonie, the daughter of the richest man alive in South Korea. And Dahyun was my sidekick who was there for me through thick and thin.

"Excuse me, have you seen Lisa Manoban?" I asked the guy in front of Japanese 1-B doorway.

"Hi..." the guy drooled, waving slowly.

"Step aside, you're useless," Dahyun complained

"Um-OKAY OKAY OKAY. I think she went with her best pal, Chaeyoung Park over there at the bench near the main building," the guy finally unfrozen himself and gave us exact directions to find my prey.

"Okay. Thanks cutie," I winked

In a jiffy, I drag my best friend's leg with me to approach the easy-going duo sitting on the hot bench. Lisa and her friend were eating ice cream, they look so careless about the time.
Without any hesitation, I approached them with my invisible crown.

"Excuse me, are you Lisa Manoban? Someone told me you were looking for this yesterday" I gave her long-lost school ID and I wore my best smile to impress her.

The ice cream kept on dripping from her hand, Lisa's eyes opened up with awe. She quickly ate up the whole ice cream and swallowed it at once.

"Oh my God! Thank you so much! Without this I almost didn't enter the campus this morning. God, you don't know what I've been through in the disciplinary office you know. Mr. Han the disciplinarian almost knocked me off because of my clumsiness. He got me like-" Lisa beaten my gums. Is she a rapper from her past life or something?

Her friend slapped Lisa's butt "Lisa! Slow it down! You're talking to a normal person right now! Geez," she sounds annoyed however I find it funny.

"Gomen. Gomen." Lisa touched her neck as she showed me her delicate side for the first time. You can see from her face joy rippled through her.

"Wait. Correct me if I'm wrong, you're the girl who nearly left her hanky am I right? The girl at the hallway?" She stepped closer to me.

I touched my chest "yes that was me! My name is Nancy Mcdonie, it's nice to formally meet you! And this is Dahyun." I proudly said.

"Nice to finally meet you too, Nancy. I'm Lisa and this is my friend, Rosé," she introduced.

"I'm really grateful for this. So, what can I do to pay you back? I'll do anything," She earnestly said.

I bit my lip, "can you accompany me on Saturday as my chaperone?" Keep something under my hat, I do everything like a thief in the night step by step to get Lisa's heart.
