Dangkye Highschool for Drama and Performing Arts was a prestigious school in the north of Seoul and only the best and most talented students were allowed to visit this school. One of these students was seventeen-year-old Gong Minjae who jumped out of her mother's car with joy, fixing her checkered skirt and her white blouse before throwing on her gray blazer and turning around to the car.

"Eomma, I'm off!" Minjae smiled and waved her Mother a goodbye before turning to the gates of her school. Minjae was now starting her last year of Highschool. She was now officially a Senior. And she couldn't wait to finally become a part of the theatre ensemble of her school. 

She ran up the hill to reach the main building of Dangkye looking for the blackboard to check what class she was in this year when someone back-hugged Minjae. "If this ain't my beloved Choa!" Minjae yelled and turned around to hug her best friend, Ahn Choa. "Wow, you look fantastic Choa!" Minjae gasped looking at her friend who looked glowing in the uniform.

"Thank you. I felt free enough to add a little bit of fluff to the skirt in the holidays." Choa announced and twirled for Minjae to present her the "fluff" she added. "Cute!" Minjae commented but then she turned around to the blackboard. "We're both in 4-2," Choa said, hugging Minjae once again. "Our homeroom teacher is Mrs. Hwang this year." Choa continued.

"That means the chance is higher to join the Theatre Club!" Minjae gasped and Choa nodded. "Isn't this perfect?" She asked and Minjae nodded. "You joining the Theatre Club after four years of applying and getting declined. This must be fate." Choa linked her arms with Minjae and the two girls started walking towards their new classroom. "I heard we got the three troublemakers from 3-4 in our class now. They aced their final exams." Choa whispered once they entered their classroom and she saw the three boys she was talking about in the back.

"That means they skyrocketed themselves to the Top 30 from 60!" Minjae gasped and turned around. "That's a big jump." Choa agreed and poked Minjae's shoulder. "Don't look at them for too long, you might get stupid," Choa warned and Minjae furrowed her brows. "That's lame." Minjae rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Ya! Gong Minjae what are you up to?" Choa yelled when she saw her best friend dance over to the three boys. One of them, wearing a navy colored bucket hat was sleeping on the table, while the other two were thumb wrestling each other. 

"Good Morning!" Minjae cheerily greeted and interrupted the boys in their game. The two gamers turned around and eyed Minjae from bottom to top. "And you are?" The light brown haired one asked with a deep Satoori. "Gong Minjae." She introduced herself. "We heard the three of you ranked high in the final exam last year so you were able to enter a higher class," Minjae said happily when the Satoori-guy cocked an eyebrow and threw his rubber on her forehead.

"Did we ask for your opinion?" He asked coldly looking at Minjae's dumbfounded face. "What was that for?" Minjae asked and crossed her arms in front of her chest, making Satoori-guy stand up. He was only a few inches taller than Minjae and looked down at her with a cocked eyebrow.

"Get lost, while I'm still asking you nicely. We're not interested in you or the other classmates." Satoori spit and Minjae looked at him disgusted before looking at his friends. Bucket Hat was still sleeping and the other guy was looking out of the window, acting as if Satoori wasn't just picking a fight with her.

"I'm waiting for an apology." Minjae then said and stepped even closer to Satoori. "You threw a rubber in my face." She complained and Satoori looked up and down, seeing his rubber between her red All Stars. "You made my rubber fell down." He whined. "Pick it up." He demanded and Minjae cocked an eyebrow.

"Apologize to me first!" Minjae said when her eyes finally fell on his name tag: Park Woojin. "Apologize and I think about picking it up, Park Woojin!" She glared and he widened his eyes. "How dare you talk to me like that you Cow!" He hissed and Minjae rolled her eyes. "Aw, does poor Park Woojin doesn't like when a girl speaks up against him?" She asked and went a step closer to him. 

"Get lost." He growled and Minjae rolled her eyes. "Apologize Dumbass." She then called and Woojin opened his mouth, no words leaving his lips though. "Woojin-ah, leave her be." One of his friends spoke but Woojin shook his head. "I won't give up this easily, Gong Minjae. You can be aware that we are now enemies." Woojin declared and Minjae stuck out his tongue. "I'm still waiting for my apology after all." She said before kicking his rubber to the other side of the classroom.

"Ya! You ass!" Woojin cussed while Minjae danced back to her seat next to Choa who only shook her head. "Was it needed for you to get an enemy in the last year of school? Did you really need to make Park Woojin to your enemy?" She asked and Minjae shook her shoulders. "He threw a rubber in my face and didn't apologize. That was really unpolite." Minjae turned around and saw Woojin picking up his rubber from the other side of the room before walking back to his friends and sitting down on his chair, pouting.

"He probably isn't that bad. Maybe he's in a bad mood because he's in a new class or something, Choa. We shouldn't judge him before we know who he really is." Minjae said and turned around once more, catching his eye. He threw a fist in her direction why she gave him a bittersweet smile before showing him her middle finger.

"YA!" Woojin screamed towards Minjae when the classroom door opened and Mrs. Hwang entered the room. Minjae smiled seeing the teacher and immediatley decided that she wanted to be an A+ student this year. And all that just so she could enter the Theatre Club of Dangkye Highschool.
