the fall of mercury

to say that the boy was flustered and panicked was an understatement.

but no one can blame him, really. having packs of marijuana in his backpack out of the blue on third period was nothing anyone would ever want to experience, especially when the teachers found it out.

“b-but sir, i.. i have absolutely no idea! i swear to god, i dont! i dont use those kind of stuff! p-ple ase listen..”

to his dismay, even how much vernon defended himself and all, teachers are teachers.

that was until the chem teacher was being called and assured everyone that the content was none other than some old herbs. 'a joke that got carried away' they proclaimed.

with that, vernon exited the principal office with relief and anger mixed all together. oh he surely knew who in the world did this, alright.

//

the cafeteria was quite crowded since it was lunch time. the boy's eyes traced all the entire room. it only took him seconds to find what he was looking for due to it's stuck out figure.

“Yah! Lalisa! You are so dead! I will tear your body apart with my own bare hands and shove them down the shredding machi—YAH DONT RUN! COME HERE YOU RAT!”

“catch me if you can~” the girl chirped as she hopped from table to table.

as she got to the end of the room, lisa sprinted out of the doors. leaving vernon, who squezzed his way through the crowd, panting with hands on his knees.

//

“why did you do that anyway..?” sorn asked her now panting friend.

lisa finally stopped running when she was at the back of the school building, unintentionally meeting sorn who was sorting the sport equipments. the blond was then leaning on the brick walls, swallowing large amount of oxygen.

“i'm a master pranker, haven't you heard?” that led sorn to roll her eyes, “oh and he cheated on eunbi.”

sorn automatically put down the mattress she was dragging and gave lisa a shocked face.

“yeah, like a couple of days ago i saw eunbi crying her eyes out in the girl's bathroom. she told me everything.” lisa added.

the older continued to drag the mattress into the sport room while saying, “and that is why i dont commit in relationships. dirty things like that disgust me the most.”

//

the news of what happened to vernon, the school's prince charming, spreaded as fast as wild fire. and of course, the famous bitches in town had heard about it.

and boy they did not like it.

//

school was finally over as lisa packed her things and walked down the stairs with her hoodie tied onto her waist.

when all of a sudden, something heavy and gooey fell right onto her scalp. onto her newly dyed hair.

and guess what it was? the thing you would even run to the other side of the world just so it doesn't touch your hair: slime. a slime with, from what it looks like, a whole bottle worth of glitter.

“what. the. actu—”

“ah! i see you've found my slime! oopsie~” a voice echoed from the top of her. from the stairs above.

no other than the snorty pigs lisa hates to death.

the tangerine walked down until she was beside lisa, who was struggling to stay stoic.

“gosh, i'm so sorry. i guess you're gonna be bald from now on.” the girl snickered.

“seulgi.. i swear to god, i will—” lisa was being cut off by another company.

“prank her? you're gonna prank her, lisa? prank us? for fuck sake, grow up, slut.” seungyeon.

the last one came tailing her, yewon.

seeing lisa said nothing in reply, they take it as a code for triumph and began walking down. just when they were about to disappear out of sight, yewon shot lisa a glare, “this is what you get from picking on vernon.”
