To think that Hyejoo looked like a mad woman was an understatement. She looked completely crazy as she was running down the streets of Seoul and looking in every alleyway.
People stopped to give her strange looks, but she didn't care. She just needed to find Chaewon. She looked at her phone once again. Wait a minute.
She looked at the date again and saw it was Friday. That meant that she hadn't graduated high school yet.
Shit!
Before Hyejoo became the way she became she was actually a very good person. She would often help teachers, she wouldn't be late for class and had decent grades. So if she wanted to fit in again like her old self she needed to go home and change into her uniform.
It was 6:10 am. Class started at 7:45. Hyejoo sprinted past the sidewalk, accidentally bumping into others and yelling a quick "sorry!" To them. She bumped into one blonde girl. She had the same uniform Hyejoo had, so Hyejoo assumed she went to the same school. Her face was unidentifiable since Hyejoo was in a rush and she couldn't make out details. She would just apologize later.
7:20
She was so close
The time was ticking. Very fast in fact.
Hyejoo finally made it to her house. She sprinted into her room and took off each piece of clothing she was wearing smoothly but quickly. She pulled on the provided uniform of her high school and slipped out the door.
She raced all the way down to her school.
7:38
Why was time working against her?
She zoomed past the gates then slowed down, she walked quietly to her classroom and sat down acting as if she didn't just have a full marathon with time.

School was coming to a near. Hyejoo finally could raise her hand as she remembered all of this from when it first happened. All the answers and all the questions.
During her last class she noticed a girl. Her golden locks blocking her face but those golden locks looked familiar. She squinted her eyes wanting to remember, but was caught
"Son Hyejoo. Would you like to share to the class what you're squinting at?"
The class started trying to hold in their laughter. Hyejoo took a glance at the girl and saw that she wasn't laughing like the others. She seemed more calm and collected than those hooligans.
Hyejoo looked back up at the teacher and said "No sir, I promise it won't happen again." The teacher looked at her and could sense the sincerity coming from her. He sighed and turned back focusing on the lesson.

The class ended, Hyejoo immediately got up and walked to the girls desk. She had remembered that the girl was the one she had shoved on accident so she wanted to give a proper apology.
She walked up and started talking.
"Were you the girl I accidentally shoved this morning?"
The girl froze, she was too busy packing she didn't realize Hyejoo came up to her.
"H-Huh?"
"Are you the girl I accidentally shoved?"
The girl ignored her and walked around her. She was close to the door when she felt a tight grasp on her wrist.
She kept her head low still.
"Are you?"
Chaewon finally looked up. Hyejoo released her grasp in a quick second and gasped.
Hyejoo had her mouth wide open. She didn't think Chaewon went to her high school.
"I wanted to say sorry."
