I am sitting at the dinner table with Su-ae and Ra-im. We're all talking about school and such till Su-ae decides to bring up the Jellypop phone from earlier today.

She begins by saying, "Something strange happened today. Y/N was with me when it happened in class!"

"Strange?" Ra-im asks, pinching rice with her chopsticks and bringing it up to her mouth.

"Someone left a phone in my locker." Su-ae picks up her spoon and shovels rice into her mouth. She pulls the pink Jellypop phone out from her pocket and slides it to the side of the table that Ra-im and I are sitting on. Ra-im picks it up to inspect it. "Isn't this a Jellypop phone? Maybe it's Eunhyeok's?"

"That's what I thought at first too. But it's not his." Su-ae says. I sit there quietly eating my portion of rice quietly whilst scrolling through my phone.

"Then whose is it?" Ra-im speaks up.

"No clue, possibly Eunhyeok's?" Su-ae replies.

I'm confused when I hear Su-ae so I jump in, laying my phone on the table. "Wait- Su-ae, that doesn't make sense. Didn't Eunhyeok literally tell you in class that it wasn't his phone when you confronted him?"

"Huh? Yeah Su-ae, and you just said it's not his." Ra-im points out, sliding the phone back to the other side of the table where Su-ae sat.

"That's what he says, but... I think he's lying." Su-ae says pouting along with a mouthful of food in her mouth.

The topic changes over some time and we finish up dinner, putting our plates in the dishwasher. We then separate and go to our own rooms, beginning to study and do our homework.

It was the next day, and we were at school. It was P.E. class and it started raining about an hour before so everyone was speculating if P.E. would be cancelled. Everyone crossed their fingers but the P.E. teacher crushes everyone's hopes by saying, "Who said we're cancelling P.E. class because of the rain? Those who don't go change into their gym clothes will get points deducted." Everyone in the gym groans as some file out the door to their respective locker rooms to change.

"But it was cancelled last time it rained!" One student calls out.

The teacher gets more and more frustrated, yelling, "Quiet! Whoever said that, call out your student number and name!"

"We should just drop P.E. class."

The teacher gets angrier. "Who said that? Come here." The teacher just complains about the students who are upset about having P.E. and waits for the students who are changing to arrive.

His bad mood is shaken away when he begins explaining the lesson plan. "We're playing partner dodgeball today. Everyone, take a piece of paper and find out who your partner is."

Su-ae and I go up to get our papers together. She shows me that she got the number 18, and I got the number 3. Guess that makes us on opposite teams because of the even and odd numbers. She walks off to search for her partner and I stand still scanning the room. I then walk over to my friends from class, Ajin, a girl with long black hair, and Yeseo, a short girl with brown curly hair. We show each other our numbers and we find out that Yeseo and I are partners. We walk over to the side of the line that our team is on while some students help the teacher set up the balls in the middle for the game. Since she's one of the girls that I'm closer with in class, we stand there talking and laughing until we hear the teacher blow on his whistle.

Yeseo and I ran to the front to grab 2 balls for us each and begin throwing them at the pairs on the other side. Together we manage to get three pairs out and our team looks to be winning. Yeseo and I double high-five before running around our side to get more balls. We notice that Eunhyeok and Su-ae are still in the game on the other team. I guess they got paired together and were hiding for the whole game.
