"Hey did your admirer put food or weird things in your locker again?". Yannie asked, my best friend.

"Yeah? Why?". I asked her back.

"And we still don't know who put that inside, great!". She said while shaking my arms.

"Well, I still don't care who he is". I said and smacked her hands.

"You're so harsh!". She slapped me slightly.

The bell rang indicating that the class will start. Yannie goes back to her seat and waits for our first subject teacher to arrive..

It's been a month since I've always gets or received strange gifts or food in my locker. We tried to catched who always put that in my locker but we never get a chance to catch that person. I'm already graduating from college this year and we still have no clue or idea who it is.

"I will group you into two, you will conduct an interview and you will document it. You will present it together with your partner and the topic is up to you. This may take a lot of your time but I assure you that this will be your last project for my subject". Mr. Park said, making the students groan.

He started to call everyone to let them know their partners.

"Park Jongseong and Kim Luna". My head shifted where he is.

Ugh! why him?!

Park Jongseong or Jay Park is known as an arrogant and short-tempered person. How should I describe him? he always have his fierce and poker face that makes you feel intimidated. I've never seen him smile or even laugh.

I've always seen him with my cousin but Jongseong and I don't really have that connection to each other. I don't have any reason to get near him, well now I have. Ugh!

"Omg! Luna, your partner is Jay!". Yannie accidentally said it out loud, I saw that Jay looked at us.

"Can you please lower your voice? he can literally hear you". I said irritated.

"Okay, peace hehe". She makes a peace sign and wait for the second subject.

The morning class ended and we are on our way to put our things in the locker before heading to the canteen.

"Huh?". I mumbled when I opened my locker.

"What is it? Another gift?". Yannie asked, I nodded as an answer.

"Is it creepy that it's been a month and that person didn't show up at least once? to at least introduce her/himself to you?". Yannie asked while putting some of her books in the locker.

"Yeah, I find it creepy too". I said and snatched the box containing sweet brownies while maintaining my straight face.

I will be honest that I enjoyed the sweets that the stranger put in but I'm worried because I don't know where that food came from. I just took it to our house and threw it. I still have kind feelings tho. What if that person is watching us or me get that and then just throw it away, isn't it rude?

"You should be careful, Luna". I looked back and saw K, one of our friends. I nodded and walked to the canteen while holding the box.

We ordered and found an available seat. Yannie and I became friends when we were both 7th grade, while K became our friend when we were freshman.

"Here". K put his dumplings on my plate, he always does that.

He knows that I really love dumplings and he doesn't like it that much, that's why he always gave it to me.

"I wondered, what would you do Luna if that stranger showed up?". Yannie asked while munching her food.

"As I've said, I don't care. I don't have time to know who he is. I'm focus on maintaining my grades to have an honor this graduation. I don't want my parents to get disappointed". I said then continued eating.

"You know, as far as I know Auntie didn't even care if you get low grade or if you didn't get an honor. I don't know why you feel so pressured". Yannie rolled her eyes.

I looked at her without showing any reaction. K noticed it and tapped me gently, I looked at him and nodded. Yannie and I are like a sibling, you know sometimes you get pissed and argue just like how other siblings do.

"You two stop that nonsense conversation, you only pissed each other". K interrupted to get our attention.

"Just chill Luna, no matter what happens we will always be here for you. It doesn't matter if you don't get that bllsht honor, as long as you have a good grade that's enough to make your parents proud". I lowered my head.

Yannie has a point, I don't know why I always push myself to the limit until my physical and mental health gave up. My parents didn't ask me to get high grades. I don't even know what's wrong with me.

The afternoon class eventually passed by, and it's already time to go home.

I remembered the partner project. I look around to find him if he's still here, I spotted him getting ready to go out.

"Hey, Jongseong, do you have any plan or what day are you available for the project?". I raised my eyebrows while looking at him.

"Enough with calling me jongseong, just do what you want". He then walked out the classroom.

"W-- what?-"

He left me dumbfounded and taken back with what he said.

"Oh?! Okay?! That witch!". I whispered to myself.
