JENNIE

"HAVE a good day sweetie!" my mother exclaims as she drops me at my new school.

it was the start of a new school year for me. it was my first day at the seoul high. i had heard a lot about this school, good things as well as bad things.

since the murder of a student a year ago the school lost some it's reputation. the police made a lot of attempts to find the killer but couldn't find them.

i tried to not think about the murder as it sent chills down my spine. i walk into the school and already feel anxiety clawing at me.

i feel stares from the other students burning down my back. suddenly every laugh i hear, i assume them to be laughing at me. i nervously make my way down the hallways.

i see a girl with blonde hair with bangs approaching me and i start sweating at the thought of having to talk to a complete stranger.

"hey you must be kim jennie the new student, right?" she cheerfully says.

"ye-yeah" i stutter. controlling my anxiety has always been a problem for me.

"oh no need to be nervous. i don't bite." she notices my nervousness. "oh i'm lalisa manoban by the way, you can call me lisa. i'm supposed to be showing you around."

"nice to meet you jennie." she extends her hand and i shake it. "nice to meet you too lisa."

she seems nice but also awfully cheerful.

"ooh and i almost forgot, here is your list of classes for today." she hands me a paper.

"there are only ten minutes before the school starting so i'll show you around as much as i can."

"sounds good to me." i smile, it felt good to have a friend in a place filled with strangers.

she shows me around and after a few minutes we hear the school bell rings. she shows me the way to my algebra class.

"if you need anything just text me." she runs off. and then i realised that she forgot to give me her number.

it's okay, i'll just ask for it during lunch then.

the classes go by slowly and as i expected all of them are boring. by lunch time i felt like a walking zombie.

i head to the cafeteria with my eyes desperately searching for lisa.
i feel somebody bump into me causing me to fall over. giggles burst out from behind me.

"watch where you're going newbie." a black haired girl, probably the one who pushed me snickers.

i'm about to curse at her when lisa comes over. "that's enough, stop it." she glares at the other girl.

"i'm not done with you yet." the girl smirks at me and leaves.

"don't mind her. she's just a bully, her name is joohyun." lisa offers me a hand.

"thank you." i give her a grateful smile.

"no problem. you can sit with me and my friend there." she offers while pointing to a table in the middle of the cafeteria which is occupied by another girl with auburn hair.

"is your friend fine with it?" i look over to the girl. she and lisa seemed like the popular ones and i've had bad experiences with the popular girls at my previous school.

"ah don't worry about that. she's fine with it and also you'll make a great addition to us." she assures.

we head over to the table and the girls look up. "chaeng, meet jennie she's new here. she'll be joining us." i wonder what she means by "joining us."

the girl flashes me a smile. "nice to meet you jennie, i'm park chaeyoung."

"welcome to blackpink." she cheers.

"i'm sorry black what?" i try to sound as polite as possible.

"well this school has different groups you see. each one has a name. the girl who you bumped into earlier was from red velvet." lisa explains.

"you see those guys over there." chaeyoung points at a group of seven guys. "they're bts."

"but you better stay away from them. they're just a bunch of fuckboys." she warns.

i simply nod my head not bothering to tell her that i was more interested in girls.

"all of the groups seem to have alot of members. why does blackpink have only two?" i ask.

"well we originally had three members but-" lisa interrupts chaeyoung and gives her a shut-the-fuck-up look.

"but she changed schools." they both exchange weird glances. "so we only have two members as of now. but we would be happy to have you."

"would you like to join?" chaeyoung questions.

well it's not really like i have a choice. "yeah sure i guess. but don't tell me there's a weird creepy ritual to join you guys."

they both burst out laughing. "don't worry jennie we don't do any rituals." chaeyoung says.

"you're a senior right?" chaeyoung asks at she eats her french fries.

"mhm." i hum.

"then that means you're oldest now. we're both juniors." lisa chimes in.

▁

the school bell rings and i finally get to go home. i gather all my stuff and head out of the building.

i feel a hand on my mouth, i try to fight back but the person's hold is too tight. there's no one around to help me. i start panicking as i get dragged behind the school building.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

thank you so much for reading. also do not kill me for making red velvet look bad but trust me there are some secrets which will be revealed later.
