Chapter One

Lisa

Miss Kim manage to drag me out of their mansion towards a red Lamborghini parked in front. I'm just following her lead since I'm too shy to say a thing even though her grip really hurts. For such small person like her, she has a strength of a man.

"Hey Jenduek, Slow down, you're hurting Lisa." Miss Jisoo reached the car as she open the driver seat, so I assume this is her car. Miss Jennie stop so I naturally halt my steps too as she look at me trailing her gaze down our joined hands.

As if she snap out of something she harshly let my hand go causing me to wince in pain. Flexing my hands, checking if it's fine.

"I-I'm sorry. Let's go, I don't wanna be late." I nod as she enters the shotgun seat leaving me no choice but to go to the backseat.

The ride was a very uncomfortable one. Miss Jennie is not speaking so I had to stay silent- if that's just the case it would have been fine but Miss Jisoo here is asking a lot of question. I'm not ignorant, I know who this two are, it's impossible not to know so I'm not sure why they're even talking to me.

The moment the car stopped on the parking lot, I quickly went out not before thanking Miss Jisoo and Miss Jennie of course.

I quickly ran out of the parking lot towards my class, I've been studying to this school, it would be a disaster if someone were to see me with the campus' 'it' girl and her cousin. So I ran away.

After all, those two are way too famous for my own liking. I only want a silent highschool life. After finishing my study, I knew I had to take over my family's business that's why I'm enjoying the silence of my days, It wouldn't be the same after all.

I took the seat at the farthest part of the classroom glancing at my wrist watch. It's 7:40, 20 minutes until the bell rings, maybe I could study a little. I played a few Nicki song with my earphones while browsing through my biology book.

I didn't even got to my locker since I rush here. I stopped reading midway when I heard my ringtone, Picking my phone up I saw Chaeng's name. My cousin.

"Chipmunk?"

"Hey Lisa! Where are you?" I looked at the id of the caller and once again confirmed who it was but then it's.. Chaeyoung? She's getting weirder as time pass.

"Umm.. in my classroom I guess?"

"But i didn't even see you pass the locker room!" The bell rings and not seconds later, I saw our biology professor walking in.

"Hey Chaeng, I'll call you later at lunch. My professor is here."

I didn't wait for her reply anymore, I ended the call right away and the class started.

For about 2 hours I'm just studying about organisms and I must say it's enjoyable on its own way. I'm just on my way out when I heard my professor called me.

"Miss Manoban, Can I talk to you for a second?"

I turned and face her giving a small nod as I approached her direction with tiny steps. I wonder what this is about? I mean, I didn't do anything to be called out.

"Why Prof. Ara?" I ask.

I'm having a jitters right now seriously. I don't know but I'm always nervous talking to someone I'm not familiar with, I mean.. If you're an introvert it's nerve wracking to engage into small talks with someone you're hardly familiar with.

"I'll make it short so you can go and take your next class. There would be a competition for the best Biology Research a week from now and by far, you're the best student I have, would you like to compete? I mean. It would look good with your scholarship."

Prof. Ara gave me a warm smile, looking at me patiently. But I knew I had to answer right away after all, it's a week of preparation. So short.

I thought of the pros and cons and as far as I can understand, it's not that bad. It would certainly look good with my scholarship, and yeah. I'm a scholar student under Mrs. And Mr. Kim.

"I would like to join Prof. Ara." I said.

Her smile widens as she took on the good news. I don't have a problem with the competition since studying is one of my favorite past time and besides it's not my first time competing. I've been a scholar since 7th grade and that's because I tried to be as lowkey as possible. After all associating myself with the rich kids is like announcing my name and so I decided to take on a scholarship.

"That's great Manoban! Well then, I'll be seeing you later for your scheduled review and studies."

The woman gave me a form of application which I gladly accepted. The requirements were written and I had to sign for the participation number, while reading the paper I saw an unfamiliar word.

I looked up furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

"Prof. Umm.. Is this by pair?" I ask hesitant.

The form states that the competition would be by pair. One for the verbal test and the other for the written test.

"Oh yes! I forgot to mention, that's right. The competition would be in pair and you're partner already signed up her papers so all I need to do is wait for your application before you two can meet."

That caught me off guard. I'm not usually so keen to make friends cause...I'm too shy to talk. I feel uncomfortable but nonetheless I already finish signing the papers. Sigh.

"Here it is Prof. Umm...If I could just ask, Who would be my partner?" Even in my tone, I could feel the hesitation.

Prof. Ara look at me smiling.

"You're actually lucky. You have such a smart partner. I'm sure you two would get along just fine."

It took her a few minutes of talking before she finally said who my partner is and I'll be a liar if I said it didn't surprise me.. cause it did. I freakin forgot.. Jennie Ruby Jane Kim.

"Miss Jennie Kim would be your partner. She actually volunteered to join and I'm glad. Now I have the best duo."

The dean lister of Medical Department. Of course she wouldn't let opportunity like this pass by. I'm so stupid! Argh!

Why didn't I think about this first before signing?

And before I knew it.. I can't already back off from the competition.

This would be a hell of a week. Gosh!
