Akari puts on her headphones and, with her head down, looks exclusively at her cell phone. Mio next to her has her elbow resting on the table and rests her head on her hand, the other hand dips the fries in ketchup and brings them back until they drip, puts them in her mouth and chews in a way that doesn't seem to be tasty. She seems bored.

Sana continues her makeup. The cell phone's front camera remains on, and she touches up her red lipstick. Sana has round eyes and a thin face.

''Chae won,'' Sana turns sideways to talk to me. ''You look too young to be in the 12th...? What year were you born?''

''I was born in 97.''

''You are the youngest among us'', says Sana, pointing to the girls. ''Mio and I are from 96' and Akari is 95 years old.''

''You're my unnies.'' I look at Akari who is still busy with her cell phone, she doesn't even see the joke. Her thin lips move as if she's silently reading.

''Hey...'' I reach my shoulder with Sana's, but without touching. ''But what happened to Akari unnie being late?'', I say softly.

''I don't know...'' Sana whispers. ''But she's not a dumbass.''

''I got it!''

''Do you want to hang out with me and my friends?''

''I'm not allowed to leave. Is there any way to get out of here without them seeing me?''

''Sure! I can get you out of here,'' Sana whispers in my ear, and after pulling away, a smile appears on her thin lips. She gets up and takes Mio by the hand. Together, the two go towards the snack machine.

I'm alone with another girl. Akari has hair a little below her shoulders, its color is natural.

Remembering how her friend Ji-hye was extremely angry with me, should I apologize for something I don't even know if I did?

Perhaps?

Maybe I really should.

So I took a candy that I bought as soon as I arrived at the cafeteria, put it on the table and pushed it towards her.

Akari turns off her cell phone, and her gaze continues to question me.

Did you know if this girl is a bully, I will have to give her candy every day?

Cautiously, Akari takes the chocolate, and I know her look turns to something ''Why are you giving me this?'' She smiles.

She'll think I'm trying to buy her. I stay a little, I'm worried, and my heart is beating fast.

''Hey! Is this for me?'' she says.

I nod, taking a deep breath. '' I was starving and had a headache, I didn't even realize what I did. I'm sorry.''

''Thank you,'' she says, without a smile, but her eyes seem to scan my face. ''About my laptop...''

''...about your laptop I will get a new one if it is damaged!''

''...there was a scratch.'' She puts her hand on it.

''If you want, I'll give you another one!''

''No need.'' Akari smiles, takes the headphones out of her ears and hangs them around her neck, takes both ends of the packaging, starts to unwrap the candy, and ends up biting off a good piece. There's that sweet smell in the air.
