Jiwon's POV

"Chaeri? Can I sit here?" She looked up from her phone, swiftly pulling her long black hair back her ear, and gave me a reassuring smile.

"Yes, of course!" She said, and looked back at her phone.

There's something I can't tell from what I get from Chaeri. She just feels so expensive, sitting next to me. She had an expensive looking black velvet blouse, that had puffy sleeves, aligning with a dangling sleeve on behind, with her knee length black skirt, white stockings up to her knee, and apparently....black heels. I didn't even know that we had to dress up this formal. Her dress was showing how good her body is, and I know I shouldn't be jealous as I'm fine with my body, but something shines from her. I looked down at my dress, beige puffy sleeves, with a beige top as the dress continues, flowing down near my knee. It wasn't much as Chaeri's, because Changbin got it for me on my 15th birthday, he must have thought I liked this. I liked wearing my loose silk shirt, with a tie, and at least a longer skirt. It was better than having this dress tighten around my hips.

She has me looking like a peasant sitting next to a royal princess.

If it wasn't for Changbin and his begging along with Stray Kids, especially Han, I would have worn something like on school days...

The silence was getting loud, as our class continued to find their seats, and I didn't know what to talk about with Chaeri. Suddenly she averted her attention from her phone to me.

"I love your dress, Jiwon."

"Especially those shoes." She eyed my shoes.

Awkwardly, I cocked a smile, because that was obviously sarcasm, because I was only wearing sneakers. (Someone insert a clown face for Jiwon!!!)

"Uh....thank you, but I love your dress more. Those heels go very well with your dress. I didn't even know we had to be this formal, but Changbin begged me for this." She looked at me silently.

Can I get a 6 feet hole? Can I just get thrown in it and never come out again? Can Minho stuff tissues down my throat? Can he please air fry me on 180 degrees in 20 minutes? This is so awkward.

"Awe, look at you, you're so flustered." She leaned in, and took out her YSL lipstick, as she rubbed a little bit on my lips.

"U-uh-"

"You need some makeup, Jiwon." She said.

"You look sickening pale."

Can I take that as an insult...

"I...I'll look out for that. Thank you."

"How did you get close with Stray Kids?" She asked, turning her head to the side as she ruffled her hair through her fingers.

"I rarely knew Stray Kids, until Changbin introduced me to them."

"I can't help but agree with you, I love peace and quiet. It's awfully calming to me, but Stray Kids is always chaotic, and I somehow love it. What's your first impression on them?"

"Chan....well, he looked like the basketball team leader to me. But, surprise shawty, he's such a good producer in music! Also, a wonderful class president. Minho....we met in the weirdest way ever. He saved me from being slapped by a....popular girl. He's so...cold too. But he's always teasing me like Changbin and Hyunjin. And that girl, she looked....-" I turned to face Chaeri instead of my fingers.

"-She looked somewhat like you." She choked on her water, as I spoke.

"I-I'm sorry- what?"

"Y....yeah. Somewhat like you, but you're such a high school sweetheart, my brain must be doing things. She liked Changbin to be honestly, but she didn't pass my vibe."
