-Lee Sunhi-

I woke up to my alarm blasting Got7's 'Hard Carry'; the song had an energy that I could totally use in th morning, so I had decided to make it my alarm.

I got up from bed, taking a few seconds to appreciate how beautiful the sunrise actually was; with a soft smile I made my way to the bathroom, walking right inside the shower, enjoying the warm water that ran through my body. As I got out of the shower, I dried myself and got dressed in my uniform, then started blow drying my hair. I stared carefully at my reflection on the mirror, taking in every one of my features

'Not everyone might find you as amazing, but not everyone has to'

A small smile started making its way to my lips, and that was enough for me to decide that I wasn't going to wear makeup to school today. I felt that the day ahead of me was going to be great!

Today was the first day going back since the incident, so Baby offered to give me a ride. I was going back to school after being two whole weeks locked up in my house. The school knew I was injured so I had an excuse, but I knew that my teachers would be pretty harsh today.

I sat on my couch while waiting for Hatai, I decided to update my instagram story with a picture of the delightful breakfast that I had.

Yeah, you heard right. Breakfast! Two pancakes with strawberries, coffee and juice. I was full by half of the second one but I ate it anyways, I felt happy after eating it.

I heard a car horn outside my house, so I immediately locked my phone and placed it on my bag, going outside and heading to the car. As I walked to it, I realized it wasn't Hatai nor one of her's and Bam's chofer waiting outside for me, but the one and only Jackson Wang. He was leaning against his white Mazda MX-5, that was much like his style.

"Good morning, Jackson" I smiled
"Good morning, Princess Sunhi. How are you in this fine morning?" He asked in a fake British accent, to which I laughed
"Just get in the car, Wang"
"Hey! Where's the 'oppa'? You're supposed to respect your elders!"
"Shut up and drive!" I laughed even more.
"I can't believe you just hushed me! I feel offended" he said in a loud voice, pretending he felt hurt as he started driving. This guy was really something else.

"Thanks for the ride, oppa, see you at practice tonight?" He smirked and nodded; Today he had a different aura around him, a brighter one, i would say.. he was also pretty well dressed for so early in the morning, he was probably going to an interview or something.
"Yeah, see you. And, by the way, you look gorgeous without makeup" he said and kissed my cheek. 

What. The. Fuck. 

I stared at him in awe for a good 10 seconds, then got out of the car, saying a quick goodbye. My cheeks were so hot right now, I wanted to bury my face in ice so it would cool off. Well that was unexpected!

I made my way towards my classroom, and as I entered I spotted Hatai with her usual friends, already in her seat. I wasn't going to interrupt their conversation but she was the one who called me over. So here I was, sitting and laughing with the rest of her friends, to whom she introduced me to as her best friend. I almost felt like crying when she said that!

Just as our conversation was coming to an end, the math teacher walked in.

"Okay class, I'm going to assign your final senior year project" he said as he walked inside. Yep, not even a good morning from him, but oh well. I smiled anyways, I was in a very good mood today, so I opened my notebook and carried on with the class, paying close attention to everything he said.
。。。

"Do you think we can finish the song by the end of the week? The performance is getting closer and we  gotta practice the whole thing" Baby asked and I shook my head
"I want to write something good, meaning it'll take a little bit longer, but probably by next-"

"Oh, Baby!" I was interrupted by an annoying female voice. The queen bee of the school, yeah, that one girl that dislikes me very much was calling out for Baby. The devil's name was Park Yoonsun; she was Hatai's ex-best friend, the girl had apparently used her so she could meet and date the guys. 

"So you hang out with losers now? Poor you, awe" She cued and I rolled my eyes. Fear was no longer in my dictionary, so I turned around and stared at he intently, as she stared at Hatai
"Aye, Yoonsun. The desperate loser here would be you. And I bet you don't want me going there, do you? Leave before I end your pathetic queen days" Baby said, standing up and ready to leave, so I followed, but that annoyingly high pitched voice stopped me from following her 

"Awe, how pure of you to do charity by standing up for her!"
"Yoonsun! Shut up, she might go and cut herself because you said that" one of her friends smirked. How did they even find out? I rolled my eyes and held my sleeves tight
"Sun-"
"You know what, Yoonsun-ssi? You are the pathetic excuse of a being. It's so funny that you need to make someone feel small, In order for you to feel bigger, or is it that you feel threatened by me? I wonder... how would you feel if you saw just how pitiful you look" A small chuckle escaped my lips as I walked in circles around her

"You-"

"I? I what? You no longer have a say over me, honey. So leave us the fuck alone" I huffed and turned around once again, walking to my friend's side, but a harsh pull on my hair made me stop as the bitch dragged me back to her

I winced in pain as she pulled my hair and kicked my legs, but today was the day she wold get what she deserved. I stepped hard on her foot, making her let go, and took the chance to slap her with all the strength that I had. The cafeteria was paralized with everyne intently looking at the drama that had unfolded and I didn't even care.

As she was about to hit back, I grabbed her wrist, holding it firmly then throwing it back at the shocked girl.
I smiled in triumph, as the words slipped my mouth. I knew that this moment would forever change my life, and oh boy, I was up for it.

"Not now, and not ever"
