Swithene's POV
Eversince we were teenagers, she was always at the top of the pyramid. Not because of her father's influence, but she was just that meant to stand out, her talent, skills, beauty, everything. Since she's that popular, she could pull anyone and any gender she likes. As for me, I was practically 'the loser'. I too think I was up until now, is this a sign of character development? I think so.
So you see, back when I had braces at around 7th grade, I most of the time mispronounce my name as 'Swiden' instead of 'Swi-th-en' . Unfortunate for me she and her friends were my classmates, and I was their target. What's more is, that blasted nickname was exclusively called by the one and only Byul and I never heard any of her group of friends call me that and they only go for my mother who was their 'uncle's' enemy, geez they're too much on that part. I never even heard Byul have any other cousin other than that vocalist of their band. So since her friends feel so entitled, they pull pranks on me even without her knowledge.
It happened too often even until I removed my braces at 10th grade. However, her treatment towards me became confusing and I couldn't even stop myself from liking her. A lot. Despite the.. treatment.
Why? Because she acted so genuinely nice and flirty. Key word : 'acted'.
It took me over the edge. One time she's acting like she's so in to me whenever theres a chance that were alone and the next thing I know, I'm dead to her in front of her friends.
She just watched... Just watched me getting insulted by her friends with a cold expression.
When we're alone I thought I felt so special that it overshadowed all the bad things her friends did to me but I was too naive to even realize that she could do the same to other girls, other than me.
Though she promised me she'll protect me. I felt less secure around her with her reputation people were talking about around school. Students were scared of her because of her influence and few even tried to make me snap out of it and put me in my place. Whether it was all just mere rumors or not, I have heard from students that one time she and this girl had a fling then the next minute, she was spotted flirting with other people. I never seen any of the speculation but it was enough for me to try and keep myself away even though it's almost graduation and though my heart said no.
The only issue was... She insisted on being close to me and making up excuses to talk to me. I thought about how endearing it was that she does slight efforts. But if only I knew that bigger problems like that would spread like wildfire, I would've tried harder to avoid her... At all cost.
Flashback during High School, Senior Year...
"Pst! Swiden..." she sneakily called me out . I tried ignoring her and focused on the lesson. Unfortunate for me, she didn't bring her book on purpose so I was forced to share with mine. Now, She's trying to annoy me.
"Swiden!" she whispered louder and poked my arm.
"What?!" I aggressively whispered back. She's been like this for 5 minutes. If we get caught talking, we're dead meat!
"I'm bored. Let's makeout in the bathroom.." She leaned on her desk and whispered in my ear.
My eyes almost popped out of my sockets hearing that.
"Are you kidding me?! Don't say stuff like that in class!" I aggressively whispered back at her. I could feel my cheeks getting hot due to her request. She smirked, getting satisfied at the reaction spreading across my face. She can't be serious!
"Why not?" she pouted.
"You're ridiculous, Don't drag me into your mess just because you're bore-"
.
.
I leaned on the mirror as I gasped for air. I covered my mouth with the back of my hand feeling it getting swollen. Everything felt hot and my hair is a mess just because things got a little more heated in the girl's comfort room.
I fixed my crumpled skirt as she looked straight into my eyes. Her lipstick is probably all over my mouth by now but I didn't care much. Her hands were demanding me to sit obediently on the sink.
"I told you to stop avoiding me, didn't I?" she spoke, who too was catching her breath. I remained silent as I rested my head on the mirror. We're lucky at these time, everyone is in the middle of class that we have the bathroom all to ourselves.
"What's the point of avoiding me when you know I'll catch you anyway?" she smirked. Each of our lip products were already on each other that some even got smudged to my collar. I'm defenseless and she knows it.
"Just what do you want from me Moon Byul-yi?" I asked exasperatedly. She's always been like this but in the end, the moment we come out of here I'm nothing to her. And it hurts me so much that I just want her to tell me her real intention whether it hurts or not instead of making me crazy with all these sleepless nights.
Her eyes remained on me but no words even came out of her mouth. Instead, she wiped the edge of her mouth as if cleaning the excess lip product on her lips.
"Stop talking." she whispered.
Suddenly, All I felt was the beating of my heart in my chest and how her soft lips attacked on mine again...
This time... I felt the desperation... Like it's the last time I'll ever get to kiss her.
The next day, rumors started spreading uncontrollably . Things like how I harassed Moon Byul-yi and something like forcing her to kiss me in the bathroom. We found out that one student actually saw what we did yesterday but twisted the story.
I felt ashamed as it was a huge scandal, 3 months before graduating.
"I know you're too innocent to be able to do that kind of things to Miss Moon and I don't believe that you forced her into kissing you. Look, I know kids at your age like to discover something they haven't tried before but if anything, don't let yourself be the object of such experiment." I felt my science teacher pat my back. I'm on the brink of crying in front of her. People outside already hated me and my name were always mentioned everywhere. The hate and insult was intense that I'm too scared to even join the class.
"You're a good student Miss Myoung and I know you're not dumb enough for this sort of issue. You have a brain, please use them well next time." I hung my head low. Even the teachers know what was happening...
I've never felt so humiliated in my life.
In the end, Byul never defended me nor set things right to correct the misunderstandings. She just stayed silent, watching me get crushed by everything and everyone.
I couldn't hold on any longer, I transferred school and I made sure never to see her again. I went to Italy to start fresh and finish college, forcing myself to forget everything that happened and there I found new group of friends.
Falling in love with her was one of my biggest regret I have made in my life and yes, I continued my mother's legacy.
to be continued...
