"Now that I've handed back the exams, I'd like to announce the two top scorers since they deserve to be applauded for their hard work." Mrs. Lee says in the front of the class, and your eyes trail up from the 98% written in bright red pen at the corner of your test paper. Your leg taps against the floor, anxiously awaiting to see who was at the top this time.
"The top scorer is," Mrs. Lee begins, and you almost want to scream at the fact that she is currently pausing for dramatic effect when you just want to know if you made it. She smiles mischievously, "Kim Mingyu, who scored 100. Then yn yln is the second top scorer, having earned a 98. Everyone please give them a round of applause!"
You stand up from your desk, feeling only slightly disappointed at the fact that you didn't get the top spot this time. However, the feeling of someone's eyes on the back of your neck makes you turn your head, and the slight disappointment immediately turns into an unreasonable amount of anger when you lock eyes with none other than the top scorer,
Mingyu [derogatory].
Kim Mingyu, your arch nemesis, the pain in your ass, the one who goes out of his way to be a menace and single handedly ruin your day. Since the two of you have been fighting for the top spot for the last four years of high school, you would expect him to be diligent in school, but no.
Mingyu is the bad boy of your high school, hanging around the group of boys that party during the weekends with their college friends, and always being tardy for class. Even with this knowledge, everyone with working eyes swoons for him.
You're not dumb, Mingyu is the epitome of someone's dream man. He's 6'2", handsome as hell, gets good grades, and has a smile that could make anyone and everyone collapse to their knees to bow to him. Honestly, you were part of that majority who harbored an attraction towards the man.
That is, until you realized just how much Mingyu could care less about his education. He doesn't spend his nights studying, he's always late for class, and even sleeps during lectures, but he still gets top marks. Whereas, you spend your nights studying, you're always on time for class, and you stay awake to write notes during lectures.
And most of the time, you still get second best.
Mingyu sends a smirk your way when the two of you lock eyes, and you find yourself squinting at your arch nemesis. He just runs his tongue over his sharp canine, before raising his hand towards you, one finger held up to signify his #1 spot.
Clenching your jaw, you simply flash him a sweet smile as you raise your hand up towards him as well. He raises an eyebrow at what you're planning to do, only for a glare to take over his features when you simply send him the middle finger before turning back around towards the front.
A familiar snort is heard through the applause, and you turn to see your best friend, Vernon, laughing at the fact that you flipped off Mingyu. A small smile takes over your features, and you hide your laughter as you sit back down in your seat. Looking back up towards the board, your teacher sighs before opening up her notes.
"Let's start our next unit, shall we?"
"I can't believe Mrs. Lee didn't send you to the office for flipping Mingyu off." Vernon says as the two of you walk out the door of the classroom, and you scoff. "Mrs. Lee stopped giving Mingyu detention for always showing up to class tardy while also not wearing his uniform properly, we should not be surprised that I didn't get in trouble."
