Somin doesn't really study as much as she should. She does put effort into her school work and at times quite a lot of it too. Her grades aren't the best but they are average or above. She learns easier listening to the teachers, at every class she takes in what the teachers are saying and what they are trying to teach. When a test is coming up, she limits her free time to cram in preparation. But right now listening to the teacher is difficult with her best friend babbling about some brand new juicy gossip. Somin tries to block out the gossip talk and listen to the teacher explain something about different formulas. Nope, it's not working. Deciding that her friend has talked enough she literally takes washi tape from her bag and puts it on Jiwoo's mouth, to shut her up, yes it's weird but that's how Somin is around her friends.
"That's mean." Jiwoo grumbles before she starts pouting like the baby she is, sometimes. Jiwoo has many characters, she is tough and brave around other people, but can also at times act very preserved, and for example, right now she is acting like a baby.
"Well some of us here are trying to learn something and not breathe other people's lives unlike others" Somin empathizes on the word others. "But there's a lot of gossip going around since summer holiday just ended." Jiwoo whines, once again. Somin has never been interested in gossips, especially when half of them are false. Jiwoo just enjoys the amusement they give, sometimes amusement comes before studying but that's just how she is.
"Oh yeah there's this new guy at our school, he's from America. I wonder if girls will try something on him before he sees you. You know since you always steal guys' hearts." Jiwoo suddenly says, ending the sentence jokingly earning a deadpan look from her best friend. Somin doesn't like it when her and the word 'guy' are in the same sentence.
"Okay, okay that was not funny, but seriously remember last year when Taehyung transferred here. It took months before the girls stopped bombarding him and his locker. I still feel bad for that kid." Jiwoo says with seriousness, with a hint of amusement. Somin snorts at the word kid, Taehyung is in no way a kid, not in Jiwoo's eyes anyways. Somin still hasn't forgotten the small crush Jiwoo had on him last year, even if it was a fleeting one.
"So what else is there to tell about this new guy?" Deciding that what the teacher is saying isn't important, Somin continues the conversation with slight interest. Her best friend's eyes lit up immediately at the response she gets from the typically 'no talking in class' girl.
"His name is Matthew Kim, yeah I know a weird name, he's in class 3B so he's the same age as us, he's tall and quite handsome and he's straight" Jiwoo says matter of factly. The last piece of information throwing Somin off guard, since it's only the guy's first day here.
"How do you know he's straight, do you know him?" She asks incredulously.
"No, some first year asked him, the dude was just going to his locker when the girl just came up to him and asked him about his sexulity, the guy doesn't seem to mind being asked personal questions. I swear, first years are just getting worse every passing day." Her best friend answers with amusement, enjoying the pain the new guy has already received. Sometimes Somin wonders what is going inside of her best friend's head, one thing she does know is that it's messy in there
"I'd freak out if I were him, but I guess Americans are less preserved." She speculates. Jiwoo humming in agreement. A loud slam on the teacher's desk makes the two best friends whip their heads to the front, meeting a very displeased Mrs. Seo looking at them with cold eyes.
Great, just great, Somin thinks grimly, before she glances at her best friend looking annoyed, her own face probably along the same line.
