THE CRAZY AND CONFUSED

"Ugh I am SO wrecked," Irene moaned.

"That's what you get for drinking your troubles away," Rosé sing-songed. The tall blondie was rifling through the other girls fridge like she lived there and honestly she may as well have.

Irene was face down on her island, Advil in front of her and clutching a half empty glass of water.

"Can we skip school?" Irene whined, her voice muffled from the cool marble.

"No Rene, I WANT to go to a good college. Remember?"

"Oh yeah... the lowly little nerd, how could I forget?"

"Be quiet you, now tell me where you hid the bacon!"

Irene and Rosé had known each other since Rosé moved in the house next to Irene's in the summer before Middle School. The brunette wasn't quite the bitch she was today and Rosé had eventually wriggled her way into her heart, they'd walk to school together, eat lunch together and would hangout all the time. When high school came around and Irene had made the ES cheerleading and Rosé had joined the braniacs the social hierarchy threatened their relationship but somehow they managed to persevere. Sure they didn't sit together at lunch anymore but they were at each other's houses enough to make up for it.

"I don't have any more damn bacon. You ate it all yesterday remember?"

"But Ireneee!" Rosé whined.

"I'll pick some up later."

"Ugh fine..." She groaned grabbing a piece of toast, "Maybe we should just skip, I don't know how long I could last without Bacon in my system."

"Okay one, that is NASTY Rosé, and two I just realized I can't. I have to do damage control with Suho."

"I don't understand why you're still with him if you don't even like him."

"Rosé I've told you a million times: reputation."

Rosé rolled her eyes. "Whatever Rene... now c'mon. We're gonna be late."

Irene groaned loudly as Rosé pulled her out of the house.

Now Irene was alone walking the halls of Yongsan. Everyone so intimidated they didn't even dare to look at her much less speak with her. There was only a set amount of people that she talked to besides her family: Rosé, Suho, Tiffany and some of the cheerios. Then there were people that were stupid enough to provoke her, namely Manoban, Jay and...

"Hello Irene! I was wondering if you would consider my offer to join our schools Glee Club. As you know we won our sectionals last year and this year we are-"

"LOOK dwarf. For the last time, I don't want to join your gay leprechaun clan, I don't sing, and you don't talk to me." Fucking Yeri Kim always asking her to join the goddamn loser of a club.

"But I-"

"Ru-Paul if you're not gone in the next 2 seconds I guarantee that you will become a slushy rainbow," Yeri's eyes widened as Irene glared.

"Now get the fuck out of my way."

Yeri hesitated for a second.

"Y'know you have wonderful talent. Maybe if you took the time to explore it instead of fret about social ladder of a dreary Yongsan High School you'd see that." Irene was stunned. So much so that she gave Yeri a small window of opportunity to scurry of before she could unleash her wrath.

The brunette couldn't help but wonder... was she losing it? First Lisa then freaking Yeri Kim. At least Lisa had some sort of reputation. Kim was at the very bottom of the food chain.
