Chapter Three

Maya

What had just happened?

That angel just said something to me and I didn't even understand what it meant. And talking back to him in English, he probably couldn't get what I was saying. Hell, and I thought something might happen. 

Wouldn't it be awesome if I ended up being his friend. Like in movies, the rich guy always fall for the poor girl. Although I still think falling in love is out of question but being friends is to some extent, possible. If I see him in school again, I should definitely talk to him.

I walked and hummed on my way to school. I saw an angel today. I sighed. I think he was the most handsome man I've seen on this earth. Plus he does look like someone I know. Did I meet him before. Wait, what if we have some history! Ah! That would be awesome.

Surrounded by my own thoughts, I reached school. Finally, I was here. The place of my nightmares.

Okay, Maya! Get ready! Hell's about to break loose! 

--------

I enter my class and our class incharge introduces me. All I have to say is 

"Hello! Please take care of me!" and bow.

So, nobody laughs at me, nor do they spare me a glance. Some are already busy in their  work, others are chattering away in their groups. And hell, I can tell that all these people are rich! How? well, they are so shiny. I mean, I may sound timid but hey if girls come in class wearing diamonds and gold braclets, then they sure shine! You get the picture, right? Good thing you can't be blinded by it. 

I sigh and go to the last seat which was empty. The seat next to me is also empty, and it gets me wondering, if I am sitting on some rich brat's chair. I hope they don't come in and sue me for it! 

Class isn't going to start just yet. I sit alone, feeling left out and so, so.... bored! Seriously. Isn't there going to be any rich drama or something? I look around and bless my eyes! I see angels! Yes, I mean it! ANGELS! There at my class door. With the earlier angel, there are more angels. People from heaven exist! I have this sudden urge to take out my phone and take their pictures. But I shouldn't do this, because its chessy and wannabe-ish. Especially when you're studying among popular kids. I notice, not everyone in my class are Koreans. There are kids from all around the world. France, Germany, Thailand, Japan, Malaysia etc. Though they all are rich. 

So, yeah those angels are in the doorway, and then I see more angels! I mean seriously! Girl angels! They are the most beautiful creatures I've ever seen. But soon I realize, it is all make up and the fact that these pretty girls walk in one group, they look like super models. I am busy with my angel thoughts and I suddenly realize how close they all are and I am staring at them, with my mouth open! SHIT!

I blink twice to see again and they are standing next to me. And the angel from earlier is talking. 

"Hey, you!" He says.

"Am, Hi?" I reply, not knowing what else to say.

"Ya! You're in our seat!" 

I look at the chair, last seats? I didn't realise they were his.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know where else to sit."

"Like we care?" the girl from behind him speaks. "KOJO!!"

"Pil Suk, relax!" Says another guy.

"Aren't you moving?!" The angel screams at me!

I go still. Actually I am scared. How much I thought he was an angel and he turns out to be such a devil! Just look at the way he talks. I'm so scared that if I move now, I'd start crying and I can't let them see me cry!

 So what if they want their seats, why get so emotional Maya! 

The angel (devil, I mean) grabs my arm and pulls me out of my chair. It knocks all the air out of my lungs. What is happening!

"Seon chan!" someone says! "Man, relax! Don't be so harsh!"

"Hey, you don't know anything!" Seon Chan (the devil/angel) says, "This beggar needs a lesson! She needs to know where she belongs!"

Beggar? Is that what he thinks I am? And I thought that he was a nice guy. He looks at me, with so much hatred, that I just want to dig a hole and jump into it! What did I ever do to deserve this! I try to run away from there before I start crying but he still have a firm hold of my arm.

"You need to apologize first!" Seon Chan says.

I just look at him! Apologize? For what? And like he just read my mind. he says:

"Apologize now, beggar! For sitting in my chair! And making it dirty!"

That is so harsh! Why am I so weak? Talk back Maya! Talk back now! But I know better, If I do that! I'll end up crying! Yeah, it's a curse on my family. If we fight back, the tears starts rolling down without permission. Stupid tears!

"I'm sor- sorry!" I gulp, trying hard not to cry.

He lets go of my arm and I run like I'm on fire! I hear laughter behind me. I don't know where I am going but somehow I end up in the restroom! I cry to my heart's content! Why am I crying so hard! My first day! It's worse than the nightmare!
