"I have something funny to show you."

Haerin tells me as we stop by my locker to pick up a few things.

Rolling my eyes, I give her the thumbs up as she excitedly grabs something from inside his bag and lifts it to my face.

When I close my locker and stare at the card on her hand, I'm suddenly very confused.

"Is that an apology card?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows as I continue to stare at it.

She nods furiously at me and sticks her tongue out. "You're correct, Minji."

I sigh and rub my forehead.

"Why is it funny?" I ask, thinking deeply because this is somewhat irritating me.

Haerin smirks and clucks her tongue as she replies to me, "It's from Danielle."

My eyes widen as I cover my mouth to stifle the laughter that's about to come out of my lips.

I avert my eyes to the card, then back to Haerin, before going back to the card again, trying to think of something to say.

She didn't seriously...

"She so seriously did." Haerin huffs, somehow reading my mind as she stuffs the card back in her bag.

"Can't believe she thinks that by giving me a card, it's going to solve everything."

Laughing, I close my locker, lock it and we continue our way down the corridors towards our next class together when I'm being halted by a cheering squad member—a cheerleader who I have never seen before in school.

She must be new.

"Kim Minji?" she says, almost asking for my recognition if she got my name right.

Both Haerin and I turn to face each other and look back at her, frowning.

Why would she want to talk to me?

Slowly, I nod my head. "Yeah, that's me." I stuttered, tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.

Haerin snickers beside me and elbows my ribs—causing me to hiss a bit.

It's a good thing this new girl didn't hear me.

"Awesome." She perks up, smirking smugly at me as I see people narrowing their eyes at us as they pass by, wondering why a cheerleader would be talking to someone like me.

"I'm Jung Ahyeon, a junior transfer student."

She introduces herself, extending a hand out to me as I stare at it shyly.

No one's ever introduced themselves to me before I do, it's usually supposed to be me doing the work.

It's actually pretty soothing to know at least one person wants to be my friend now.

Smiling widely at her sweetness, I quickly grab her hand and shake it, earning a giggle from Ahyeon.

"Min—I mean—" I stop saying my name, since she already knew it.

Wow, someone knows my name!

"Nice to meet you." I end up saying, biting my lower lip as we let go, but I felt her lingering a bit.

Ahyeon crosses her arms together, and we continue staring at each other's eyes, and it makes me tilt my head to the side because I may be a bit jealous of her eyes—are they prettier than mine? They can't be.
