Eunhye decided to attend classes today because Hwayoung was going as well. As much as Eunhye liked studying, she would never go to school without any of her friends around. Dressed in their dark blue coats and black skirts with knee-high socks, they entered their first class which was Mathematics.

They greeted their teacher with small smiles and sat on their appointed seats for the class. Their Mathematics teacher discussed to them about sets, relations, and functions. It was easy for Eunhye since she has learned about this before but she wasn't at her best state to be able to participate in voluntary recitation despite knowing the answers.

An hour of Mathematics classes seemed like a lifetime for her, she just wanted to get this day over with because she felt unexplainably tired. Thankfully, it ended and they had a 30 minute free period to do pending tasks and activities.

"Are you alright?" Hwayoung asked her with a chuckle.

"I'm fine, just tired." She covered her mouth as she yawned.

"You got a perfect 8 hours of sleep and you're tired? Wow, that explains how much of an oversleeper you are." Hwayoung joked around.

"Some of you say I lack sleep while some of you say I oversleep, honestly it just depends on my mood." Eunhye laughed.

Two girls approached the two of them. It was their classmates who were daughters of elites. They had quite creepy smiles on their faces and they sat down on the empty seats in front of the two. "Hi princesses." One of them greeted.

"Hey." Hwayoung casually said. 

"So how have you been holding up with the rumors?" The second girl said.

Hwayoung glanced at Eunhye then turned back to look at their classmate. "Your name is Micha right?" She asked.

"Yeah." She replied. "So, the rumors? How is the dear ambassador's daughter Etsuka? They've been considering to replace her father cause they said he wasn't that good enough to be an ambassador right? Oh and how about you Princess Gracielle? Still got a lot of boys lining up for you just like how Jisung did? Did you reject him?" 

Eunhye clenched her jaw and placed back her book and notebook back in her bag. "Are you really concerned or do you just want to find out more about what goes on in our lives?" She asked without looking at them.

"Oh of course we're concerned about Caramia, you guys are one of the biggest 4th gen girl groups in the industry right now." Micha said in an obviously fake tone.

"Why don't you wanna answer anyways? You really rejected that cutie?" Nabi scoffed.

"If you're so concerned about Eunhye rejecting him or not why don't you date him instead?" Hwayoung rolled her eyes.

"If I could, I would. Mind introducing him to me, Princess?" Nabi laughed.

"Don't call me just 'Princess', with all due respect call me 'Princess Gracielle'." Eunhye calmly said and scrunched her nose in annoyance. "And besides, I don't think Jisung would be interested in dating you anyways." She said it in a cute way which made Hwayoung smile and laugh. 

Nabi gasped and placed a hand on her chest. "How dare you say that? I'm pretty and I have what it takes to be his girlfriend. Maybe you're just jealous cause you won't have him worshipping at your feet anymore once he finds out about me." 

"Nabi, just say you're a Jisung biased NCTzen and go. I'm not gonna make your delusional dreams come true for you." Eunhye chuckled and turned to her friend. "Hwayoung, wanna walk around for a bit?" She nodded her head in response and they stood up. Right before they left their seats, Micha had something to say.
