Cliques (K-Pop High School)

Six

After lunch, afternoon classes began and there was something special going between all the classes. They were to create presentations for one of their classes and it was going on throughout the whole year. They were to be assigned partners also which gives our characters more of a chance to get to know their classmates better.

Abbie had been assigned to work with Chanyeol, it was very lucky they had been paired up together. Abbie found Chanyeol funny and kind - not to mention talented. Their teacher must have noticed the blossoming friendship and paired them together.

Humail, however, wasn't as lucky and was paired up with Tao. Kyungsoo had only just told him about the rivalry between the athletes and cooks and now Humail found himself working on the presentation with one of them. He was not a rude person but if Tao became rude he wouldn't be afraid to respond.

Steph had been partnered up with Kyungsoo and she didn't know how to feel about it. They had never actually talked but Steph did find him cute. She would never say it out loud though. Steph now hoped his personality would match.

Sophie didn't want anything to do with her partner who turned out to be Solji. They hadn't gotten off to a great start and somehow Sophie felt like it was only going to get worse. She wasn't looking forward to this presentation.

Laila didn't know who her partner was but she only knew her name, Jessica. Laila was hoping this would be her first friend. Jessica didn't seem to mind being paired up with Laila but she would have preferred working with her boyfriend, Jungkook.

Sophie and Solji were sat opposite each other now as everyone had slightly moved to work near their partner. Neither said anything to each other as they read what they had to do from the sheets that were handed out. Sophie had finished reading and thought it was time to say something.

"So I think we sho-" Sophie began to speak but was cut off when Solji hushed her.

"I'm not done reading, so shut up," Solji didn't bother looking at Sophie as she spoke.

"How thick are you...?" Sophie muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Solji looked up at Sophie with a glare.

"Just go back to reading princess," Sophie replied picking up a plain sheet of paper to plan the presentation on.

Solji couldn't believe this girl had the guts to speak up to her. She chose to ignore Sophie's last comment and finished reading. Sophie had a little victory smirk on as she took the lid off of her pen.

"What are you doing?" Solji asked as Sophie began writing on a piece of paper.

"We're supposed to plan?" Sophie didn't look up and kept writing.

"Yeah. We. Not you," Solji grabbed the piece of paper causing Sophie to scribble on it.

"And how exactly are you going to help?" Sophie rolled her eyes and then grabbed a new sheet of paper.

"You do your plan, I'll do mine," Solji ripped the paper she had grabbed off of Sophie in half.

"How should we start?" Humail asked Tao who was on his phone.

"Do whatever, I don't really care," Tao shrugged.

Humail didn't like how he had to do everything but the project was more important than what he wanted. He decided that he would plan everything and then give Tao tiny things to do. It meant Humail would have to do a lot but as long as the project wasn't in Tao's hands he was happy. As soon as he had finished planning, he tried to grab Tao's attention again.
