Secrets and Lies

4

The girl was extra moody that morning and she blamed it all on Yongguk. If it hadn't been for him and his damn sexiness then she would've gotten another hour of sleep. But their nightly activity put a stop to that. Jiyoo couldn't even feel the joy over that it was Friday. First she had school, then detention and then she had to get home and fix herself before heading to work. But it was all worth it in the end. That way she wouldn't have to live together with her father and that witch of his. Though, Jiyoo missed Ahri a lot.

Lunch had approached fast and when all the other students headed for the cafeteria she stayed behind. The girl couldn't afford to eat. The food was quite pricey and that despite that the school had lots of money. But then again did also nearly all of the students come from families with huge bank accounts. Jiyoo was no exception, she too, came from a family like that. The only difference was that the girl didn't want any financial help from her father. Jiyoo had actually gotten pretty used to not eating anything for lunch. She ate when she got home instead.

"So, you've finally decided to go on a diet." the girl heaved a sigh as she heard Eun Ae and her pathetic comments. Without acknowledging the other girl did Jiyoo place her head down on the desk. "Yah, aren't you going to answer?" she rolled her eyes as Eun Ae continued, "are you deaf?" Jiyoo felt something poke at the back of her head. Three, two, one, she counted the numbers inside her head before she snapped. In a fast motion did Jiyoo grab Eun Ae's wrist, an action that caused the other girl to take a step back.

"Why do you look so terrified, afraid that I'll remodel that face of yours?" the girl let out a dry laugh whilst she tightened the hold around Eun Ae's wrist. Jiyoo was starting to get really irritated at the constant attention she got from the other girl. Why couldn't Eun Ae and her two little followers be like everyone else and just ignore her, it couldn't be that difficult.

"Let go, I don't want your filthy hands near me." Jiyoo was unfazed by the words and it weren't until when Eun Ae began to pull that she let go. The other girl lost her balance immediately and fell to the floor. The friends of the girl was soon right by her side, "Eun Ae." the said girl stared up at Jiyoo, "Yah, don't think this is over." well, it was her own fault. If she hadn't messed around with Jiyoo then none of it had taken place. "Oh and I'm so scared." she could honestly not care less. Eun Ae was probably not capable of doing anything. "YAH!" Jiyoo shook her head as she walked towards the hallway, such a drama-queen.

She began to head to her hideout room, and that whilst plugging in the earphones to her iPod. The girl would go there every time she wanted to be alone and away from everything. The room wasn't used so it was perfect. Students gave her dirty looks as she passed them by. Jiyoo wasn't exactly the perfect student. She was rude and most importantly not afraid to say what she meant.

There was only two persons in her life whom she showed respect and love for, and those were Yongguk and Ahri. The girl had a hard time trusting people after what she'd been through. So, if anyone wanted to befriend her then that person in question would have to show himself trust-worthy. Jiyoo couldn't possibly be friends with someone whom she didn't even trust.

The girl had gotten pretty used to people talking behind her back after over two years at Jawoon. Though, their sentences would still hurt. Jiyoo was just as human as they were, and she did feel pain within when the other students yelled hurtful words after her. The volume on her iPod was therefore set on the highest. So that she wouldn't need to hear the remarks. A shiver did unconsciously run up her spine when she remembered the intense stare that Chinese boy had given her the other day. It gave her the creeps. Well, that blond boy was no exception either. Jiyoo shook her head to clear those thoughts away. There was no need to go around and think about that.

High school was such a bother. First Eun Ae and her two companions and now that new boy. It felt like someone was doing all that on purpose just to make her life even more hellish like. That China boy, Jiyoo had to set him straight. The only way to do that was to frighten him in some way or another. If he was afraid then he would probably wise enough to let her be. The girl would have to come up with a plan. Yongguk would more than likely have some ideas that he could share with the world.

The tunes of Taebin's voice blasted in her earphones as she slid the door open and stepped inside. The room was pitch black and vacant, just like she'd expected it do be. Vacant and vacant, she began to doubt so the second she felt a presence in the room. Jiyoo's pulse skyrocketed and she fumbled after the light-switch. A low curse slipped from her lips when she didn't seem to find it. The presence seemed to creep closer and the girl spoke up whilst removing the earphones, "who is it?" the question got no answer and Jiyoo wondered whether she'd been imagining things. Still, she wanted to be certain. So when she eventually found the switch she flicked it.

Jiyoo's eyes enlarged and she stopped breathing for a second. The Chinese boy was standing so close that she, on instinct, took a step back. Those intense eyes of his found their way down to meet hers. His mouth was sealed but words were probably not even needed at that moment. Even so, the girl wanted to know why he was intruding. "This is my room, you can't be here." that was a complete lie, though, the China boy didn't know that. Jiyoo wriggled her eyebrows when he continued to just stare. How the hell was she going to explain when the boy couldn't understand a word of what she was saying.

Frustrated Jiyoo gave his chest a light shove, he was invading her personal space by being so close. Though, his next move caught her totally off-guard and she soon found herself being pushed up against the wall behind. Somewhere along the line had he grabbed onto the girl's hands and pinned them above her head, an action that'd caused her iPod to crash down onto the floor. Jiyoo was flabbergasted over the boy's sudden movement. "W -what are you doing?" she noticed how his lips drew into a thin line and the girl then remembered that he couldn't understand a single word. Jiyoo damned Eun Ae, if it hadn't been for that girl then she would've never found herself in that situation. With a foreign boy without any Korean skills what-so-ever trapping her between himself and a fucking wall.

Jiyoo contemplated whether to kneel him where the sun doesn't shine. But he let her hands free before she actually got the chance. In an instant did the girl bent down to pick up the iPod. Much to her dismay had the whole glass cracked and it wouldn't even start when she pressed the button. Not only had the boy freaked her out, but destroyed her iPod as well. "Fucking shit." Jiyoo couldn't afford to buy a new one. She couldn't even save up to buy a new one either as all the money went to bills and other necessary things.

Furious she glared up at the boy and in one swift movement had she slammed the iPod into the palm of his hand, "I hope you're delighted that you destroyed my iPod." she let go of the device before stalking out of there, even angrier than earlier.

Tao stared after the girl as she exited the room. He had barely understood a word of what'd escaped the girl's mouth. Though, there were a few exceptions. Not that it was of any help since he'd accidentally broken her iPod. Tao heaved a deep sigh as he walked over to his blazer that he'd casually slung over a chair. After have slipped it on did he let the music-player slide down in the pocket. The boy knew that he would have to do something about the iPod.
