"I cannot believe you poured coffee over her head."
"She deserved it," Haerin said in an apathetic voice.
She was trying to finish up some homework before her next class and quite frankly was getting sick of everyone talking about her little stunt.
Hanni searched for Danielle across the quad and laughed when she saw her in some Seoul High gym clothes.
"I'm not saying she didn't deserve it, but it must've been embarrassing for her." Haerin looked up and quirked her eyebrow.
"You want to talk about embarrassing? Do you remember what she did last year?" Even at the mere thought of it, Hanni had to stifle her laughter.
Last year during Valentine's Day, Danielle had paid some members from the glee club to serenade Haerin during lunch. Hanni had never seen Haerin so red both from embarrassment and anger.
"Maybe now she'll leave me alone," Haerin said hopefully.
"Um, no such luck," Hanni said and pointed behind Haerin.
Danielle was making her way over to their table with a smile on her face. She looked quite ridiculous in the gym clothes, but she plopped herself down right next to Haerin anyways.
"Hey," she said cheerfully, but Haerin had resumed her usual ignoring.
"Just want to tell you that there's no hard feelings about this morning." Danielle smiled at her even though Haerin wasn't even looking. She just continued to write in her notebook as if Danielle had never even sat down.
"Well, I'll see you around." Danielle waved to Hanni before leaving their table.
"Well, that was strange," Hanni said as she watched Danielle sit back down at hers and Minji's table.
"What?" Haerin said acting like she didn't hear anything that just transpired.
Hanni studied Haerin's attitude and thought it best not to mention Danielle. "Nothing."
————————————
"So you're not mad at her?"
"Why would I be mad?" Minji scoffed.
"Maybe because she spilled coffee on your head and embarrassed you in front of everyone? Not to mention you have to wear that for the rest of the day." Danielle shrugged.
"Well, it could've been worse."
"How?"
"She could've not cared," she said quietly.
"Dani, don't you think this has gone on long enough?" Minji asked exasperated.
"I mean you're losing your dignity and making a very nice girl's life a living hell." Danielle ran her hand through her hair. She had managed to get all the coffee out by running it under the sink, but it still smelled like hazelnut.
"I just thought she'd give in by now."
"Why are you even bothering? It's not like you're doing bad in the dating department. Do you really need to date Haerin? Is it that important to you to uphold your reputation?" Danielle looked at her friend totally offended.
"You think I'm doing all this just for my reputation?" Minji took a step back a little confused.
"Well, aren't you? I mean you don't really like Haerin, right?" Looking down, Danielle tried to avoid her friend's eyes.
