i arrived at my
destination, math class.
it was still quite early
because everyone was
still in the cafeteria.

I walked inside my room
as i heard high pitched
screams echoed the whole
room. confused, i saw two
girls in the classroom. the
first girl was screaming
and running everywhere
around the room whilr the
other one calmly sat on
her seat, annoyed by the
girl.

❝yena, stop being such
a fucking pussy and kill
the goddam bug!❞ the
second girl yelled at the
said girl, screaming.

yena cried dramatically,
❝it's eating my skin!❞
yujin glared, "it ain't
eating your skin, it's—"

words cutted off when
yena started to scream
again. at this point, minju
didn't know what to do,
whether she should go
away and go back later
or just take a sit on
a vacant seat.

"get it off me!!" she
started jumping up and
down trying to get the bug
of her but sadly failed. "the
fuck yena, that won't work!"

i covered my ears because
the girl started even screaming
more in a high pitched voice.

❝u—um...❞ minju cleared
her throat.

the girls diverted their
eyes at minju that was
standing in the back.

❝oh my god, i'm sorry
you might think i'm weird!❞
yena gasped ❝i'm not weird
nor crazy. there just happens
to be a bug and i got
scared.❞

i laughed sheepishly.
the second girl raised
a brow, ❝are you new
here?❞ i shook my head,
❝i'm new to the class,
didn't you guys heard
about ms.bae, the first
math teacher going to
retire?❞

yena nodded her head,
❝we did, it's just that
our teacher, ms.kang
didn't say anything
about this.❞ yujin
nodded in yena's
explanation.

❝how many are you
that are going to
transfer in our class?❞
yujin asked.

minju shrugs, "about 6-5
maybe."

"do you have friends?"

"nope." minju said
popping the 'p'

❝that's just sad.❞
the youngest says.
❝eversince school
started, i tried making
friends yet i found out
that they were fake.❞

the oldest frowned but
smiled again as she
started clapping her
hands, ❝we can be
your friends!❞

yujin agreed, "yeah!"

minju wasn't sure whether
to accept it or not. "i don't
know you guys..."

the youngest puffed her
cheeks. ❝oh come on!
we aren't fake like the
one's you talked about.❞

i stayed quiet. They
both started to whine
like kids that made me
agree to their question.

they started cheering
like they've won the
lottery.

❝by the way, i'm ahn yujin
and this is—❞ the smaller
cutted her off, ❝choi yena!❞
they then took their hand
out for a handshake which
i gladly accepted. ❝what's
your name?❞

a bright smile started to
form on my lips.

❝i'm kim minju, signing
in as your new friend.❞

their eyes started to
sparkle as they returned
the smile.
