1 thing 2 do (JinLia)

Chapter 3

After dinner, Lia decided to start her homework due the next day. Seating in the dining table she realized she doesn't have one but three homework due for tomorrow. So, now she started to panic and regret not doing it last week.

It's around eleven at night when she finished her 2000-word essay that she bullshitted. 'I'm lucky if I get at least at D in that paper' she told herself and placed the papers on the side. 'two more' she said staring at the table.

Meanwhile, Ryujin was brushing her teeth when she heard groaning sounds coming from downstairs. So, standing on top of the stairs she saw Lia crumpling papers and tossing it on the floor.

So, she went down and peaked at Lia's work "need some help there?" she asked

Clearly startled, Lia jumped from her seat "Ryujin!" she shrieked "Stop sneaking up on people"

The other girl sat in front of her and grabbed one of the books "Ah chemistry" she said flicking through the pages

"Can you not annoy me, I have work to do. And don't you have homework to do?"

Ryujin shook her head "Did it in the weekend, instead of partying" she teased

"Can you just leave if you're here to mock me?"

Ryujin peeked at Lia's paper "There's four hydrogen chloride on the right"

Lia checked her sheet again and gave the other girl a questioning look "How do you know that?" she challenged

"Because I'm a genius and I actually listen to the lessons" Ryujin mocked

"Can you just leave?!" said a frustrated Lia

"Ok, ok. I'll behave"

It took them another two hours completing that one and moved on to the next. Ryujin placed a cup of coffee in front of Lia "Thanks" then leaned closer to look at the math problem. Lia on the other hand felt weird with Ryujin being so close to her.

She can smell Ryujin's lavender scent "You have to use this formula to get the hypotenuse" Ryujin instructed

Lia who wasn't paying attention cleared her throat "Sorry what?" she asked. So, Ryujin explained the formula again. It was around three in the morning when they finished because Ryujin still had to teach Lia how to do the problems.

"I can't do this!" Lia complained making Ryujin laugh at her

"It's just a simple math problem. I bet my 12-year-old cousin can solve that better than you"

"Are you going to stop irritating me?"

"Ok, ok geez. I'll stop"

"Where does this go?"

"What do you mean where does this go? It's math, it doesn't go anywhere"

"Whatever"

Ryujin stretched in her seat next to the other girl "Ah finally!" she let out. She checked her watched and saw its 3:45 in the morning "If we're lucky, we can have three hours of sleep" she said standing up from her seat

Lia was fixing her things when she saw Ryujin going up the stairs "Hey..." Ryujin turned to her "Uhm... Thank you"

Ryujin gave her a friendly smile "No problem"

Ryujin woke up first and cooked their breakfast. Lia woke up a few minutes later and went down feeling shit "Good morning, sleepy head" Ryujin greeted and placed an egg in Lia's plate.

Lia didn't answer and looked for her phone bag. She couldn't find it anywhere so, she went to her room and nothing "hey have you see—"

She saw Ryujin pointing at the TV stand and saw her phone charging there "You forgot to take upstairs last night, and I didn't want to disturb you. So, I just charged it here"

"Thanks" Lia replied simply and looked inside her bag again.

"It's inside your blue folder" said Ryujin still cooking. After breakfast, Lia went to school first because Ryujin had to clean up. She exited and checked her pockets for her car keys but nothing. "It's on the key hanger by the door" Ryujin shouted from upstairs.

When Lia arrived in school she looked terrible. She couldn't fix up properly this morning because she overslept. She wouldn't have woken up if Ryujin didn't wake her. She looked inside her bag and locker and realized she forgot her laptop "Shit" she cursed

"How unorganized are you?" said Ryujin behind her making her turn. She saw the other girl holding a pink MacBook "You forgot this" said Ryujin "and I thought you might need this" offering Lia a cup of coffee

"Thanks" the girl replied quietly and walked away to their lesson leaving Ryujin in the hallway.

"A thank you would be nice" shouted Ryujin but Lia ignored her. 

In their classroom, Lia was surrounded by her friends "So, are you coming to Felix's birthday today?" asked Chaeryeong

Lia looked up tiredly "Is that today?" she asked

"Well, duh! You should know this. The bitch literally remind us everyday"

"Shit, I totally forgot"

"Forgetting his birthday is like the end of your social life. He will never invite you ever again. You know how bitchy he can get"

"I know"

"Well, why don't we go gift shopping after school. So, we can hang out. It's been like forever you know"

"Sure"
