14. Trouble

Lee Mina's POV:

The bright morning sun welcomed a still sleeping me. I lazily rolled to my right and flashed my eyes open. The first thing I see is my clock.

8:41 AM

I yawned. Wait! Gosh I'm freaking late! I have to be at school 9 'o clock sharp for event preparations. Oh God. Why today? Shit.

I quickly got up from my bed and headed towards the bathroom and took a very quick shower. After that, I put on my uniform and stuff. I opened my phone to check the current time.

8:58 AM

I'm literally amazed by the short amount of time I did all those things, getting ready and such.

I really need to go. I grabbed my wallet, phone, and rushed to school, not even bothering my empty stomach. I'm super hungry though, I'm just really running out of time.

I locked the gate and went out, literally running for my life and trying to ignore my roaring tummy.

I ran as fast as I could. Past the stores, the market and a few houses. I'm almost there. Just a few more.

I past a block and there, I tripped onto a wire and fell.

"Hey, I'm sor-" before he could finish, I spoke up.

"No, it's okay. I gotta go. Bye." I got up and sprinted as fast as my feet could.

After like, 15 seconds or so, I finally arrived. I glanced at my wristwatch.

9:09 AM

God. I'm in trouble. Help me.

I walked in naturally. I'm headed to the auditorium. I need to be very careful. No teacher should see me late or else, I'm toast.

I passed by the gate and toward the gazebo. And I see Mr. Ha talking to a school maintenance. I need to run before he catches me. So I ran fast. He shou-

Thump

"Oww. Hey, that hurts." I say as I bump into someone. I look up to see a shocked Park Jinyoung.

"You're late too?/You're late too?" We say at the same time.

Before I could answer him, I heard another voice and that made me face palm myself.

"Park Jinyoung, Lee Mina, see me in the office." Mr Ha barked. "Now!"

I looked at Mr. Ha to see his angry-lion-like face. I glanced back to jinyoung. He already got up and held a hand to help me. I accepted it and we both followed Mr. Ha to the office.

"Why were you late?" Mr. Ha asked as soon as he shut the door behind him, walked to his desk and sat.

I was about to speak up the truth when Jinyoung spoke up.

"We were practicing for our prod. That was why we weren't with the other kids." He says, looking at me smiling. He's silently telling me to go with the flow with him to get out of this.

"Yeah, we were and we kinda had a little bit of hard time so we ended up in that position, both on the ground." I say, trying not to make my lies obvious.

"We arrived earlier than the others, actually. We both agreed to plan out for the fest before 9AM." Jinyoung convinced.

"Okay then. I will let the both of you off. Maybe I just misunderstood. Work hard." Mr. Ha stood and opened the door to lead us out and we bowed to him before leaving.

After the door closed, I spoke.

"You're a great actor. Nice." I compliment him.

"Brain." He said pointing his index finger o the side of his head. "Use it." He finishes and started to walk, leaving me to where I was standing.
