"Wh-what?" I stuttered out.

"I'm sorry to inform you Ms. Im. But from tomorrow, you are no longer our student." My principle said, fixing her glasses with two hands.

"Why? Did I do something wrong? I-I promise i'll be better, just please give me one chance." I tried to plead, my brain turning to find my mistake that has gotten me out of school.

My principle took a deep breath, showing a dissapointed look.

"This case will not be talked. Your documents and grades had been transferred to a public school, near here, Seoul High School. And I'm wishing all the best for you."

My eyes widen. What have i done? I seriously don't know how to act. If Hyeri heard of this, she'll never let me off her hook. Hell, i may not be able to go out of house anymore cause it probably will damage her reputation.

"I--couldn't I--"

"You may go now, Ms. Im." She cut me off, politely but with a hint of stern.

I sighed and bit my bottom lip. With a bow, i turned around and left the room.

The rest of the day, i spent not having my classes, but roaming around the halls, getting all my books out of my locker, and sit in the comfy couch inside the library. I'll definitely miss this place. The place I've grown in, since i was 6, now i have to leave all these memory, starting all over in a new environment.

I was never the popular person, but if you count the people who usually greeted me, you can say im a social person. The only person that count as my bestfriend is the person i dreaded to meet this day. She is a full time nerd who's younger than me by a year. I haven't meet her cause she probably was in her classes early, checking her homeworks in the rooftop, and other things. She's actually very bubbly if you get to know her. A very sarcastic, no-filter, bubbly person. Though she doesn't loudly express it.

"Is it true?" Younghee's face appeared as soon as I close my locker.

"What is?" I said, playing dumb.

She gripped both of my shoulder and shook me.

"Oh come on, you know what I'm talking about. Whyyyyyy?" She drawled out.

I laughed quietly, my eyes blank, not really knowing what to answer. Cause i really dont.

"I'm sorry I cant stay here anymore Younghee-ah. I, I think fate is planning something, haha." I laughed halfheartedly.

"How can you joke about something like this? Who'll be with me when you're not around, Seoyeon?" She pouted, her eyes start to glaze with tears.

"Now-now dont cry. We can still hang out sometimes." I said while locking my locker, and pulling her with me.

"I just need to give this key to the front office and we can go to our favorite cafe. Does that sounds nice?"

Younghee nodded slowly.

I grinned at her.

As we arrive in the front office, i quickly give the key to the person infront and dash out.

I couldn't believe this is really happening, though I'm not that shocked anymore, there's still sadness for leaving this school without graduating. It's always been my dream to graduate with red maroon gown, smiling at the crowds, to my dad, to be excact.

Guess i wil not achieve that dream.

♡

"Aren't you gonna order something?" Younghee asked me after 2 minutes sitting silently in our usual table.

My mood is dropping low, like i left some part of me in that school, but not literally.

I looked up from the table, meeting Younghee's worried eyes and nodded.

Shaking a bit of my feelings, i tried to smile at her.

"You want me to order it for you? The usual?"

I nodded, smiling gratefully at her. She knew me to well.

"What, are you thinking of?" Younghee's voice suddenly broke out my thoughts.

"You've spaced out for 5 minutes Seoyeon. It's okay to be sad, you don't need to hold it." Younghee said, rubbing my arm in a comforting way.

"I didn't know what i did wrong. I'm just.. so dead right now. What will Hyeri think of me? What will the twins say about this?" I rambled out.

"Everything will be alright, Seoyeon. I promise you." Younghee smiled at me.

We walked out as we finished eating, talking about little things that broke out laughter.

"And you know-"

"Well well well.. look whos here, my twin. Our 'sister' who got dropped out." Minji, one of the twins smirked at me.

"What have you done, Seoyeon? I thought you were a good girl. I guess you cannot judge the book by it's cover, Minseo." Minji dramatically put her hand in her chest, as if holding her heart.

Minseo nodded, agree.

Seoyeon looked confused for a moment, and opened her mouth to respond.

"Would you look at the time Minseo, if we don't hurry, we'll be late for dinner." Minji said, looking at her phone.

They walked away, but before completely leaving Seoyeon and Younghee, Minji turned.

"Ah, Seoyeon, you dont mind excluding the rice right? We're on diet. You definitely need it too."

Younghee really wants to grab Minji's hair out, but held back by Seoyeon, who looked calm, as if already used to Minji's insults.

"She doesn't worth you energy Younghee, don't bother."
