Two: Friends

You dozed off while studying.

You and Jin walked together in the corridor towards your lockers. His locker was in the opposite direction from yours.

"I hate Lavoisier! Why did he have to invent chemistry?! I hate that subject." He grumbled whilst stuffing his locker with books.

"Wah! It's actually fabulous when I'm good at chemistry and you dislike that subject. Looks like I'll be getting higher grades than you on it," you playfully remarked, teasing Jin with a light-hearted tone.

As you flipped a strand of your hair and turned back with a giggle, your carefree moment was abruptly interrupted as you accidentally collided with someone's solid chest.

"Ouch-"

You shoot up your head and realized, that the person you bumped into was none other than Mr. Kim himself. His expression was one of pure fury, intensifying your sense of dread and regret.

You instantly bowed and offered a sincere apology to him. Jin, standing nearby, greeted him as well. He simply nodded in response, his expression still stern, before leaving the scene.

Again an embarrassing moment!!! Why tf can't I stay careful?! You cursed in your mind.

"Let's go to the classroom." Jin said interrupting your thoughts.

Nodding, you made your way to your class.

Soon enough Mr. Kim entered the classroom as well. Taking attendance, he reminded the class about the assignment to write an argumentative essay on going abroad. Going through the names, he collected the completed assignments one by one.

After a few students, it was finally your turn. Nervousness consumed you as you mustered up all your courage. You walked up to him and handed him your papers.

"You did it pretty well." He muttered after peeking a glance at your neurotic face. It felt good to be praised by the rumor called, most strict professor. After slightly nodding, you made you way towards your seat.

You were busy admiring the sky through the window as usual, when a girl with long dark purple hair, approached you.

"Can I sit here?" She asked politely.

"Yes. Sure." You said instantly giving a reassuring smile.

She returned a gentle smile as you watched her taking a seat beside you. She seems to know the duo behind you since she waved at them.

You released a breath of mixed emotions.

"So what's your name?" She asked you gently.

"Lim Y/n. Your?"

"Nam Brishona."

"It's the South African lodge's name. Your name's cute." You gave her a brief smile.

The classes began. Mr. Kim called out your name, instructing you to come to the front of the classroom and solve a math question on the whiteboard.

"Ms. Lim. Come here and solve this question." Said him.

With hesitant steps, you walked towards the front of the classroom, aware of the gaze of your classmates, as well as the watchful eyes of Mr. Kim. As you started solving the question on the board, the weigh of discomfort invaded you, cause of everyone's sudden attention.

Glancing at Mr. Kim to indicate that you had completed the question, you waited for his feedback. Eventually, he pointed out a mistake you had made and locked eyes with you, conveying his observation.
