The Elites (Lisrene)

Part 6

LISA
I only took the 100-item practical examination for five minutes. I didn't bother to read the questions and I decided to rely on the old childhood method of "eenie meenie" to make my choices. As I quickly scanned through the paper, I would point to an answer and stick with it without giving any thought to its relevance or accuracy.

After answering all the questions, I wander my eyes around the classroom. All of my classmates appeared to be in serious mode even my friends, except for Seulgi who is now sleeping. My gaze eventually settled on a particular student seated infront of the room, Joohyun Bae. The student council president who has the power to make us stop from almost fighting with Seulgi's pack.

My gaze were focused on her as she is seriously answering the examination. Her serious expression and the way her fingers danced across the paper make her more attractive. In the midst of her concentration, I caught a glimpse of her glasses – a pair of spectacles that seemed familiar to me. She is not usually wearing eyeglasses, but today she have them on. As I looked at her more closely, the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. The glasses were what triggered the feeling of familiarity as it reminded me of someone I knew or someone I met before.

This realization brought a warm smile to my lips. It was a sudden realization that sent a wave of excitement through my body – she was the girl I had met in Paris. The memories of our brief encounter flooded my mind, and I felt a rush of emotions that had been bottled up since then. The girl I am wishing to meet again, is here right infront of me, it was Joohyun Bae all along. However, my mind drifted back as I am thinking if she also recognized me.

After the class concluded, I gather all my stuffs and was about to approach Joohyun but Eunwoo suddenly pull me outside.

"Yah! Why are you pulling me?" I groaned in annoyance. I shifted back my sight towards Joohyun, unfortunately, she already left.

"Where are you going? Don't tell me you will fight with Seulgi again." He said as he pulled my hoodie. I just glare at him and hang my bagpack on my shoulder. We walked into our hide-out and we slouch down into the couch lazily.

"The exam is quite hard. Our professor is really having fun torturing us in answering." Mingyu complained.

"I guess we have an opportunity to make up from the essay at the back." Eunwoo answered that made Jackson gasped.

"There's an essay at the back? Damn! I didn't see it." Jackson said punching the air.

"Yes. There is a 3-item questions equivalent to 5 points per item." Eunwoo answered.

"Jisoos! I missed fifteen points." Jackson facepalmed himself.

"Don't worry. It appeared that you're not the only one who didn't saw it. Lisa must've oversee it as well, I saw her paper in blank. I also saw Seulgi answering all the questions with letter C only." Jisoo chuckled.

"That damn brat. I really hate her and her friends. They all act like they own this school." Jackson groaned.

"I am ready to throw my fist on them earlier if only pres didn't interfere." Mingyu chuckled.

"They might end up in the hospital if we will face them seriously." Jackson answered that made them laugh.

My friends were all laughing with each other while reminiscing the scene inside our classroom earlier, while I am preoccupied with my phone, scrolling through various social media accounts. I am searching multiples names, or even trying different username but there is no Joohyun Bae appeared in any social media platforms.

"Yah! What made you busy?" Jisoo threw the stuff toy towards me, but I just look at her then I return my gaze to my phone.

"Hayyss! Why can't I search her name!" I groaned in frustration.
