Cruel Reality [B1A4 Fanfic]

The New Character

I dedicate this chappie to my ever supportive twin APerfectMistake1357 thanks for being unbearably annoying ;*

Julie's POV

When I got to school, this one girl who was the most clingiest to me, wouldn't stop rattling about the same contest Chris was talking about last night.
"...and I'm pretty sure we'll get to win it! Anybody with a brain would know how great my voice is. One time there's this guy who fell head over heels for me when I sang a verse and he wouldn't leave me alone! I even..." she continued to talk as we bought our lunch.
I zoned out most of what she said when suddenly this group of girls blocked our way.
I took off my earphones and said, "Excuse me." But they blocked us again.
"What the hell is your problem Danica?! Get out of our way." The girl with me said, I suddenly forgot her name, what was it again?
"Paula! I can't believe your ditching our gala to practice some whatever dance with this girl who thinks she's famous." The Danica girl said eyeing me.
Oh, so her name was Paula. Now I remember.
"Ugh, it's kpop dance, okay? It's not like you can dance and she can. I'll be there next time." Paula replied.
"I'm not even going." I said getting impatient. My lunch was getting cold and I'm hungry.
"What?!" Paula dramatically exclaimed.
"You promised me you would." She pouted. I couldn't take it anymore, "You know what? Your very existence right now is irking me, so if you don't want that sandwich to end up on your face you all better move aside and let me through." I calmly said.
"What did you say you bitch--" Danica was about to slap me but Paula stopped her.
"Woah, woah calm down, okay?" She smiled at me. "I'm gonna let you off once, Julie, since you're new here and all. But do keep in mind." She stepped forward so that we were nose to nose. And her face became serious. "I do as I say. I don't go back on my word. And you do as I say. You don't disobey my word. Got it sweetie?" She stepped back and smiled. "Let's go girls, I need to retouch my make up." And they walked away.
I got an empty table and ate unmindful of what she said. I don't even care but nobody tells me what to do.

When I got home Yoora greeted me with a hug at the door. "Eowii" she baby talked. I smiled as I lifted her up.
"You little bear, you got away from me." Eonni said tickling Yoora.
"I'll just cook for dinner, can you take care of her for a while?" Eonni asked.
"Yeah sure." I said as I carried Yoora to my room.

Yoona eonni was only 20 years old. She had Yoora a year after she graduated from college. But after Yoora was delivered, eonni's boyfriend left her. I knew how hard it was for her. She works online and at the same time cares for her baby.

Yoora fumbled with my handphone as I got dressed.
Suddenly, Chloe's face appeared on screen.
"Finally online!" She exclaimed. Yoora apparently answered a call from them.
Baby Yoora laughed as Chris came into view making funny faces at the screen. I smiled. "Stop that, Chrissy. You'll scare her." I said as I padded over to Yoora.
"No, she's not. She's having a great time." She replied. I took the phone from Yoora and sat her on my lap.
"What do you want anyway? And why are you early?" I asked.
"She woke me up screaming something about deadlines or something." Chloe drowsily said.
"Can't we just call in to say hi?" Chris pouted.
"Just tell me what it is." I said, I'm not really in my best mood.
"The deadline of the contest is a month from now. Can you please help me, Julie? I really wanna go to Infinite's concert, please?" She said.
"Alright, alright, what do I do?" I gave in.
"Yippeee! I knew you'd come around. Now you gotta help Chloe! We had a bet!" Chris excitedly jumped around.
"I can't believe you agreed, Jules. Alright, I'll help can I sleep now? It's still freaking 3am." Chloe replied.
"Yeah, sleeptight. And Julie, listen to the songs of Infinite and pick a song you like and we'll sing that, okay? Talk to you later." And she ended the call.
I sighed. What did I get myself into?

***
As days passed, I tried to stay out of trouble as much as I can. But of course being the trouble-magnet I was, things happened.

Since we didn't have any lockers, we just leave our belongings in the classroom when we go to the gym.
But when I got back one afternoon, my papers, pens and other things were missing. Guess where I found them?

Daphne's POV

When gym class was over, we all went back to the room.
"Hey look, guys." Ashley called to Carl and me.
We peeked at where she was pointing which was the trash can. "Uh-oh, who is it this time?" I asked knowing who threw those school supplies in the trash.
The Queen Bee-tch, we call her, Paula always gets what she wants and if she doesn't, someone's things were gonna end up somewhere not clean. Last week it was some nerd's books in the toilet when he didn't do Paula's project.
As if to answer my question, Julie, the new girl, who was always sick was looking around the room.
"Poor girl." Ash said as she noticed Julie roaming around looking for her things.
When she was there frozen peeking over the trash, I sincerely felt sorry for her.
She tried salvaging some of her things which can still be used which was only a few pens.
Paula's group of friends snickered at her.
The rest of the class knew better than to get theirselves involved.
I thought Julie was gonna cry but instead she looked uncaring.
She arranged her things and quietly walked towards the door but of course Paula blocked her way.
It was already dismissal and we would've all went home if they weren't blocking the only door in our classroom.
Julie just stared at her.
I didn't know what came over her but Ashley thought it was funny and she laughed. I nudged her but Paula's attention was already on her.
"Oh, you find something funny girl?" She said walking towards us.
Ashley froze and I got infront of her.
"Nothing's funny, Paula. She just.. I tickled her." I said. I know, pathetic right? But the whole class has been through her rule for 2 years already and none of us wants to take on her anger because we know what'll happen. And I admit I was also afraid.
Paula smiled. "Really? Want us to help you tickle her then?" She asked and gestured to some of her gang. My heart froze, oh god no.
They yanked Ashley and started tickling her to death.
The class stared on as Ash laughed and cried at the same time. "P-pl-plea-ple-ase.. haha.. st-.. haha.."
"Stop it!" I shouted as I tried to pry their hands off Ashley.
"Hey, stop that already." Carl said to Paula.
"You want us to stop?" Paula asked smiling fakely.
"No, genius." That simple statement made Paula and her followers halt everything they're doing.
I thought she had already went home but there Julie was standing a few paces from us.
"Did you clean your ears or you have a problem understanding statements?" She sarcastically asked.
Paula scoffed, "Excuse me?"
Paula gestured at Danica and they went over to her. I comforted Ash who was crying quietly.
"Are you that low to pick on others? Or are you just mentally impaired to tickle a person to death?" Julie asked again. Paula was beyond angry. But just then a handsome boy peeked at our room.
"Excuse me, is Julie around?" Everyone turned to look at the stranger.
Julie walked over to him. "I said I was coming already why did you have to come here." She said.
Everyone was silent as they exited and left Paula there with her jaw hanging.
"Did you just see that cute senior?" Danica gushed.
Paula stomped off clearly offended.
I released a breath I didn't know I was holding when her gang was gone.
Immediately, whispers began to go around the room as kids hurried home.
"Are you alright?" Carl asked the question I couldn't mutter.
Ash nodded and we went home.
I thought of a single thing as I went home. If Julie didn't speak up, what could've happened to Ashley?
