Jealousy | Hwang Yeji

• 5

Heejin was usually very good at focusing in class. She was a model student after all! But this day, was completely different. She was in such a bad mood, she didn't even feel like attending school but she managed to pull through and get out of bed.

Yeji wasn't at school so Heejin felt a lot better knowing she won't have to face her.

She was just simply doodling on her notebook ignoring every word from the teacher.

"Miss Seo." Heejin didn't realize the teacher was referring to her. "Miss Seo." She said again sternly standing in front of Heejin. She looked up from her book with wide eyes. "Why aren't you paying attention? You know better than this. Stop fooling around." Heejin wasn't in the mood to respond she continued to draw regardless.

Heejin was sitting alone at a table in the cafeteria when she suddenly got a text message.

Heejin couldn't help but smile. She was so grateful to have such a great friend who will care for her and do anything for her. She didn't feel like she deserved Yeji at all.

Yeji didn't wait outside for Heejin like usual. She immediately stormed inside the school searching for you guessed it, Jackson. Everyone was staring at her but she could care less.

Yeji kept her promise. She wasn't hesitant at all to defend Heejin. After all she knew Heejin was extremely upset and embarrassed and because of her introverted personality, she was definitely not going to even think of raising her voice at anyone, let alone Jackson. So, Yeji wanted to take matters into her own hands.

Posted up against some lockers talking to some of his friends. Was Jackson.

"There he is." In the matter of seconds she was right in front of him. "What's up Yeji?" She scoffed in disgust. "Don't what's up me Jackson."

In the background you can hear his friends sound like dramatic middle schoolers which caused more students to gather around to see what's going on.

"Why are you being so feisty today girl?" He laughed still not taking the shorter girl seriously. "I heard what you did to my friend last night." Yeji crossed her arms. "What the hell are you even talking about?" He looked genuinely confused which made her even more upset. "Why did you kick my friend out of your party yesterday? She didn't do anything AT ALL."

At this point Jackson's "friends" had backed away since they didn't want to get involved with his mess.

"Oh that girl?" He sneered. "How is she even your friend? None of this makes sense."

Without saying a word she pushed him up against the locker and kicked him in the shins. Making the students around "Ooo" while covering their mouths in disbelief.

"YEJI! What the hell man! Did you just forget that I play basketball?" He wailed while trying to rub the pain away. "Nope" she turned around then walked away calmly as if nothing happened and proceeded to class while smiling down the hall.
