'If you're having a hard time with your studies.. or whatever, I'm always at the library during break time, so maybe we could study together, y'know. I'll be glad if you come. ^^ - K. Doyoung.'

You felt your cheeks heat up, becoming red. Who knew, Kim Dong Young, the next definition of an upright genius, had actually wanted to be a mentor to you. The thought made you utterly conscious. Right, you were never considered a brainer. Your grades were mainly almost below average, but you thought it wasn't bad. But he was offering a chance to spend his time with you, so..

Maybe you should give it a chance and meet him there.

__________________________________________________________

The letter 'E', bright, capital, red and clearly stamped on the upper right side of your maths mid-terms exam paper which was given to you in class. Never in your life have you gotten a E for your exams, the worst grade you could possibly get is a C and it never went as far as the next lower grade. It never skipped two grades lower than a C! This is completely outrageous! Did the teacher's hand go haywire? Maybe she confused the right ones for wrong. No.. the most important thing that should be concerned is..

Why maths? Out of all papers!

"Better luck next time, ________," the teacher voiced out after handing the paper to you, as you slammed your face onto the table in shame. There goes your reputation. Bye.

The rest of the hour was spent with the class discussing all those questions with the teacher, and you couldn't believe how stupid you were when answering all of them. They were all just careless mistakes! When class was over (there was a one hour break for you), you leaned against the chair, this was one of those moments where you just wanted to disappear and bury yourself 10 feet underground.

You took out an apple from your bag and a chocolate-flavoured drink from your bag before heading out of class, taking bites out of the apple and emptying the drink while making your way outside the school building, trying to find a serene place to chill out by yourself. While your eyes are fixated upon your paper, yes, you were still not over with it, you didn't notice a figure walking in front of you. He, too, had his eyes glued on his book. So, of course,..

You two literally bumped into each other, dropping all papers and books on the ground.

"Sorry!"

"I'm so sorry!"

You both said simultaneously. You kneeled down and collected your papers, even reaching for his book to apologize once again. But one paper of yours seemed to be missing. Where was your maths paper? Your eyes trailed to the other, his hand held something familiar.

What a horrifying sight! He took a hold of your paper. Yeah, the big, disappointing, failure bared in the eyes of the other to see. He already had his sight on it! You quickly dropped the papers you had carried in your arms and snatched the paper away from his grip, face red from embarassment.

Then you realized who it was. It was him. The Kim Dong Young. No, he wasn't just smart. He was far beyond being smart. He wasn't much of a brainer either, he had Einstein's brain instead, not to mention his good looks could actually slay. Legit. He had topped every exams since the moment he was brought to this school, coming in first place and would always be stuck there until he gets out from this school. Of course he had girls swooning over him, mainly just because of his looks and good attitude. And now here he was, in full piece, in front of you. Not that it was impossible. But he was right in front of you, right now.
