"did you study for the history test?" miri asked seji, making seji's eyes go wide.
"test? what test?"
"unit 3," miri answered, "you didn't study?"
seji anxiously shook her head.
"well .. don't worry," miri smiled, "i'll help you study during lunch."

the two girls sat at a table with the six boys once again. while the two girls ate and studied at the same time, the boys ate, conversed, and some studied with miri and seji.
this was all happening when a chair next to theo was pulled out, gaining the attention of all eight.
"i missed seeing your pretty face over the weekend," mina cooed.
as soon as intak heard mina's voice, he let out a loud groan.
"what are you doing at our table?" keeho asked.
"i didn't know this table belonged to you guys," mina innocently replied.
"well now you do," keeho stated, "and get in line. you're not the only one who has eyes for theo. piss off."
mina's expression completely changed as she scoffed, "so do i wait in line before or after seji?"
all eight of them scrunched their faces in confusion and mina went on, "what? you guys didn't know she likes theo?"
"says who?" miri remarked.
"well isn't it obvious?" mina questioned with attitude.
"okay and so what if seji likes me?" theo asked, shocking the others, "does she not have the right to like me?"
"well .. she does. it's just .. embarrassing," mina chuckled, "she doesn't stand a chance."
"keep talking as if i'm not here," seji nodded.
"gladly," mina smiled.
"you're wrong. you don't stand a chance," keeho stated.
"for once," mina frustratedly spoke, "could you just shut up? why are you always defending her?"
"because she's my cousin, you fool," keeho replied.
"mina, leave," intak spoke up, "get lost."
"another handsome face telling me to leave makes me very upset," she pouted.
"don't care."
mina let out a scoff before getting up in defeat and walking away from the table.
"a couple more of her scoffs and i swear i'll lose it," intak muttered.

"i will go mentally insane if that test makes my gpa drop," seji spoke as she walked home with keeho.
"seji, you're like the smartest one in our class," keeho reminded, "you'll be fine."
"um did you forget about heeseung?"
"who's that?"
"you're joking," seji scoffed, "the class president."
"we have a class president?"
"oh sometimes i just feel the need to slap you," seji sighed.
"why is it that i always show my love for you, yet you always show how much you hate me?" keeho whined.
seji only rolled her eyes and began walking faster, making keeho run after her, clinging onto her arm.
"dude, what is wrong with you?" seji scoffed.
