Chapter Eight

Jung Soel Chan

I stare at her.

I feel nothing, no hate, no repulsive energy towards her, which I mostly possess. I'm not even jealous. The way she sang that song, shows how much she wants to take charge of her life which pretty much clears the message to me.

She is talented too, I can see it.

She wants me to stop bullying her. I am going to stop after today. The way she cried in the morning made my stomach go ballistic. I never want to feel that way ever again. So, the conclusion is clear, I'm backing off.

Hard to believe though. Me? Backing off? This girl is bringing changes to me that I'm not even sure of. Why did I care about her crying? It's not like I like her. I mean, think about it. I can never fall for a girl that is this... this... what? Nothing is wrong with her?

Oh. I got it! She's poor! Huh, for a second I was going to consider her as a girl. Beggar is all she is. Just look at her. Standing so elegantly in front of everyone. Her brown hair falls perfectly around her shoulder, with her big brown eyes that are looking at me.

Oh-huh.

I shift my gaze to other side. Which I never did before either.

Coming to a conclusion that she is pretty and talented but the only thing that keeps me away from her is her being poor. Away from her as in not having any interest. In the end, shes not fit for me.

Whatever I felt this morning, I cannot say what it was, but it's probably something to do with me being way over my head and hurting her. Making girls cry. I feel like a so called loser bully in the school that make girls cry because he's afraid to fight off big dudes. So picking on smaller and vulnerable people just to make himself feel good about him is not something I'll ever do. She totally changed me.

I have to go back to my own way. Stop messing around all the time. I mean, I can bully once in a while. It doesnot have to be constant. With a silent pledge to myself, I nod.

"So, today, we are going to select our partners for showcase." The teacher annouces. "why not give our proformers the first chance to chose? Okay, starting with the new kid. Maya? Who you want to be partner's with in this showcase?"

She looks at me one more time and smiles. Her smile is different. First she never smiles, not to me atleast. Second, this is a smirk. An evil grin perphas.

"Jung Soel Chan." She says.

I sit up straight. Everyone in the class is quiet. Nobody dares to speak. She took a devil's name. Not that I am. It's just-

WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINKS SHE IS! I'LL NEVER SHARE A StAGE WITH THAT PIECE OF FLITH! PERFORM WITH HER!!! MY ASS! HELL NO!

My ragging thoughts are almost out, I stand up to show my opposition but before I can speak, Beggar cuts me in.

"Mr. William?" She looks at the interviewer. That's when I realise that he is there too and will be writing on our band. "You just saw my performance, right? What do you think? Is it a good idea for me to team up with the famous Jung Soel Chan? Am I worth it?"

I look at William. This girl is so evil! I didnt't know it! I'll show her, her righteous place! That piece of shit! I feel all the hatred coming back to me which I thought was gone. But it's all back now.

I slowly go down in my seat.

"Of course!" William exclaims. "It's much better! Jung Soel Chan will actually be participating into a show with someone else and they are not his band members! It will show us a new side of Soel Chan. This is a big news. He must be a very good student body for you to select him this confidently."
