The White Tulip (Symbolism Of My Feelings)

The New Student

Honey

''Hello. My name is Kim Myungsoo. Take care of me, please.''

The guy introduced himself and bowed but he didn't sound very enthusiastic, contrary to his one-billion-dollar smile. His voice was smooth and tender, to my shock, I took a liking to it. Somehow he looked familiar to me. I can't remember when or where I saw him but oh well...

''Hey, Honey. That Yonggguk of yours is really a stubborn person. ''Min complained. ''He demands you to give money and he doesn't even return it afterward. But when you ask him to give you something, he always can't lend you anything. He always says ''No''.'' We were having lunch at school. The cafeteria was very crowded so we decided to eat on the rooftop. The air was fresh; birds were chirping sweetly on the tall tree beside the school and the sky was so beautiful that I didn't want to return to the next classes.

''You're right. Actually, I've decided to break up with him.'' I bit from the hamburger.

''Then how will you find a partner to the ball? It's on Friday, you know. Two days more!'' My best friend clapped her hands excitedly after mentioning the upcoming ball. ''Yongguk is an *ss but still.''

''God, there are so many fishes in the sea. Don't worry about it.''

I used to think like that in my previous school. Now I don't even know if I can make a nerd stunned. Back then I could steal every girl's boyfriend. Now I don't think I have a chance to be with that cold-hearted-looking guy Myungsoo. Have I planned to seduce him, actually? Hell, no! But can I? Um...

''Well... Myungsoo. Choose a seat.'' The Math teacher said. There weren't many options for the new guy to sit, though.

In the classroom every girl screamed, shouted, tried to pull the classmate next to them, especially Hyuna. I sat alone but even if I had a ''neighbor'', I wouldn't push them... well if it was a girl then I'll be pushed.

Myungsoo, why do you have to be so perfect?

I looked at him. To my own amusement, he smirked. The overly crazy female individuals screamed even louder. I put my hands to the ears to prevent them from deafening. But what did he do that for? He was looking in my direction. His mesmerizing eyes were staring at me facetiously. My heart started to beat fast. Do I look funny? Do I have something on my face? Wait. Not that I care...

Myungsoo

''There she is!'' I thought. ''Hmm... she looks different today.'' I stared at her for a while. I smirked. She stood in her seat emotionless. Guess she doesn't remember me...

Honey

''I'll sit next to the girl in the right column, the furthest desk, next to the window, please.'' Myungsoo pointed his index finger at me.

''All right.'' The teacher sat down then he took a newspaper and he began reading. ''Oh and students. If you have any difficulties, ask me.'' Not that my classmates cared.

During Mr.Lee's talking, Myungsoo walked to my desk. With his each step approaching, my heart made thumps faster. All students were looking at him including me. Hyuna gave me a death glare. I wasn't afraid because I've seen that kind of glares before. Boys and girls were gossiping enthusiastically, still, I could hear them.

''Myungsoo is going to sit next to her! Why!? Why not me? I'm much prettier than her!''

''Right. She doesn't deserve him at all!''
