the rest of the day i kind of just let stuff happen between him and i. i didn't even try. today, though, i was going to try again. i woke up early and took care of myself. for some reason whenever i felt i looked better, i would end up feeling better, and, more confident. it was thursday today meaning i only had two more days of having to deal with him before i could possibly have a little break.
i walked to school as i listened to some music, as always. i walked into class and sat down. i tried to not think about gwi-nam; just tried to relax before class started. i felt my hair be yanked and i looked over at gwi-nam. "stop doing that." i say and he laughs at me as he sits down. "what are you gonna do about it?" gwi-nam asks with a smirk. "punch you." i tell him. everyday i wanted to punch him in the face. "do it then." he tells me. "i'm not gonna do it though. i don't feel like wasting my energy on a jerk like you." i say, just trying to avoid getting into a fight. gwi-nam laughs at me and i feel my confidence go down. "are you sure you're not just scared?" he asks and i roll my eyes. "i'm not scared of you." i tell him.

i sat in the cafeteria, my tray of food in front of me as i scrolled through my phone. i then felt my hair be yanked back and i knew who that was. why did he love doing that to me? "go away." i murmur as gwi-nam sits next to me, this time, none of his friends were here. i look over, though, to see them on the lunchline. "i'm good." gwi-nam tells me and i just decide to ignore him. "can you just leave?" i ask the boy. "why don't you make me?" he says as he comes closer to me, causing me to edge away from him. "i thought you said you were gonna punch me?" gwi-nam asks me. i feel myself growing more and more impatient. "punch me." gwi-nam says and i decide to try and be mature and so i just grab my stuff and go to sit somewhere else.
i go to find another seat but as i'm walking i'm tripped by one of his friends. i drop the tray as i fall to the floor, catching myself with my hands. the food splattered on me as the tray hit the floor. i wanted to cry from embarrassment because everyone was watching me but i held it in. okay, now i really had enough. i get off the floor and throw my bag on the ground. i then turn around and punch gwi-nam straight in the face. i had a strong punch but even with that, gwi-nam only tripped a little as he stepped back but was alright at the end of the day. he holds his face a little as he smirks at me. "wow, look at you. finally standing up for yourself." he jokes and laughs with his friends. that made me even more upset. "sucks that you're still a whore." gwi-nam says. people around us start to laugh and i feel myself start to tear up. i blink the tears away though and express my feelings through violence. violence isn't the answer, except for when it is. i throw another punch at the boy and i guess it was stronger cause he fell back a little. gwi-nam gets himself steady and starts to come at me but luckily we're interrupted by an administrator coming oour way.

we both sat next to one another in the office in front of the principal. "now why did you punch him ms. lucia?" the principal asks. "he kept harassing me and his friend tripped me and he embarrassed me and-" i ramble on and on but am interrupted. "alright, alright, that's enough lucia." the principal says and i shut up. "what about you, gwi-nam? what happened?" he asked now turning his attention to gwi-nam to see his side of the story. "i wasn't even doing anything, she randomly just punched me." gwi-nam lies and i look over at him. "wait-" i start but am cut off again. "that's enough, lucia." the principal says and i look down a little. "i should get you suspended but i won't 'cause i'm in a good mood. hell, i won't even make you do detention because i've never had any problems with you before and you're such a good student. but, if this happens again, expect severe consequences." i'm told. "what about gwi-nam?" i ask. "do you want a detention?" the principal asks as he sighs. "no, sir. i'm sorry." i quietly say and he nods. "good, now please go guys." he tells us and we both walk out of the room.
i look over at gwi-nam, "i fucking hate you." i tell the boy. "do you think i care?" he asks me and i scoff. "no, i don't. you're too much of an asshole to actually care about other people." i answer before turning away and going to head to class. "you're a fucking bitch." i hear gwi-nam say from behind me but i just ignore him.
