Page stood in the lunch line with her earphones in her ears. "Hey there's page," a girl named Ye-jun said as she and her two friends walked to her. "Your ranking went up again this week," Ye-jun said "what" page mumbled. the girl took her earphone out of her ear "how did you manage to do so well how about you join our study group" she suggested.

Page shook her head "why not I wanna ask you a few English questions" she said pouting "I don't have time " page said "no time? Really she just doesn't want to waste time on you" Ye-jun's other friend So-Jin hissed. Ye-jun hit her "Nonsense page isn't so petty she's a nice person and good to her classmates isn't that right page" she said before getting bored "let me take a picture," Ye-jun said putting her phone up in Page's face. Page's eyes widened.

She let out a cry as she turned around only to see Ye-jun and her friends. Ye-jun walked up to her "are you okay" she said helping her up "don't worry we just wanna show our appreciation for when you covered Su-ri's body the other day I was really touched" she stated. Page tried to run but was put in a headlock by Ji-Ho "but when you talked to the police I wasn't so touched anymore" she said as page cried and tried to get out of her grip.

"Are there a lot?" page's mom asked "not really" page said. She was dyeing her mom's hair for her." This is how your hair turns grey overnight" her mom complained "yet you still keep selling illegal goods" page said "I'm a victim too" her mom said as she pouted.

"The area I picked isn't bad when I get my cut you'll get college tuition okay," she said page nodded "how are your studies," she asked "good my test scores this month were in the top ten," she gushed as her mom smiled turned into a frown " I know I'm not the best mom but be patient cause once you graduate from college we'll escape this hellhole," she said "I know I owe you-" That made page lose it she stopped what she was doing and took the gloves off her hand and stormed to her room.
