Enemies, to Lovers, to Enemies again? [part 1]

chapter 2

Minjeong's POV:

That new girl was odd. Did no one tell her that I was the most popular girl in school? I mean, how could someone not know? She was kind of cute though, I guess. Her black hair was so adorable. It was funny to see her topple off her chair. And when she was angry. 

No one else knows except me. That I like girls. I'm just scared to tell anyone. What if they strip me off my ranking of the most popular girl in school. It's also so cringey that almost all of the boy population at school likes me when I don't like them back. When I saw that girl, there was a spark inside. It was like lightning. I didn't even know her name, but I was already falling for her.

Jimin's POV:

THAT STUPID LITTLE BITCH. I HATE HER. She just toppled me off the chair in front of everyone. And everyone was about to burst with laughter. I can't stop thinking about her. Minjeong. The most popular girl in school. Why did no one else hate her like me? She was so ANNOYING. 

She came to me at lunch, and just stood there, laughing at me. What was that for? I had actually made a friend, though. Maybe even two friends. Aeri, and Yizhuo. They literally laughed at everything the saw, and they were just bright and bubbly. I liked them straight away. I knew I would stick with them until I could leave this place. I even got their phone numbers.

Now, about the sloppy "true love" and "soulmate" that I wanted. I examined most of the boys during classes, and at lunch. None of them looked cute. And most of them had girlfriends. One weird thing I noticed was that Minjeong didn't have a boyfriend. She was so famous, but still none?

Minjeong came and talked to me as well. And this time she seemed friendly, different. Not the one I had seen this morning, pushing me off my chair. The way she flipped her hair ; I couldn't help but staring. 

"Hey," she said casually.

"Hi," I replied bluntly, looking down at my phone.

"Hello? I'm talking to you, look here." I knew she was right. I reluctantly pushed my phone into my pocket.

"What?" I mumbled.

"I think we should be friends," she said cheerily. That was weird. Who asks someone to be friends with them? Was this a joke? 

"Yes." I replied a little too quickly. I didn't know why I did that. Something about her made my heart jump. She flipped her hair again. OH MY GOSH. I stepped closer to her. Startled, she stepped back again. It looked natural, but I saw a flash of panic running across her beautiful face.

"Come to my place at 5. I'll text you." Her place? I was going to Minjeong's place. The Minjeong who made my heart race whenever I looked at her. The one who was so pretty even when she flipped her hair. Urgh, I hate her.

At Minjeong's house:

This place is literally the smallest apartment known to man. Just kidding. It was seriously a mansion. How could she live in this house? I rang the doorbell, standing there awkwardly. What was I wearing ok? Was I even fit enough to be in this house?

She opened it. "Come in." I literally pointed to myself. "Yes, you."

That was so embarrassing. What the fuck was I thinking.

"Um, what's your name?"

"Jimin."

"That's a cute name," she grinned, showing off her perfect teeth. I had a cute name? "So, are you good at math?"

"Sort... of , " I hesitated. "Yeah."

"Ok, would you help with the homework the teacher set this morning?" she asked sweetly.

"Yeah, sure," I said, looking at her perfectally manicured nails. She led me to a study room. It literally looked like a library. It was huge, around the size of my apartment itself. There was already a book on the table in front of her. She had been waiting for me.

"Ok, help me with this," she said, pointing to a random questions.

"This is simple algebra," I commented retortingly. She looked at me with a scornful expression. "Sorry."

And just like that, I spent two hours with the most popular girl at school. On my first day at my new school. I guess I did like it here after all. The most part that I liked was Minjeong. She told me that we were officially best friends. Did you hear the best?
