Prologue
Let's pretend, just for a second, that you're a new student at my school. You walk through the front doors and your eyes immediately fall on a tall, gorgeous girl who is fanning her face with a handful of money. The girl is simply everything you might imagine a princess to look like. She even looks beautiful in the ugly school uniforms we have to wear. You are totally shocked by her appearance.
Yeah. That's me.
Okay, just kidding. I'm actually the girl standing a few lockers away from her, hoping to get noticed by the most popular person on planet earth. I'm the girl who makes our school uniform look worse than it really is. I'm the girl who can only afford to fan herself with regular fans that break after a week.
I bet you're wondering what my name is. Well, even if you're not, I'll tell you anyways. Most people call me "dork" or "idiot" or "hey, you" But the name clearly stated on my birth certificate is Seo Minji. Isn't that a pretty name? If I heard that name out on the street, I'd imagine someone cute and bubbly with loads of personality.
I am not cute. I am not bubbly. And I think I’m running out of personality, if that’s possible. To sum it all up, I am not deserving of the name Seo Minji. That’s probably why people resort to calling me ‘hey, you.’
Unfortunately, this non cute, non bubbly, non personality filled girl is the main character of this story. Yeah, I’m sorry to disappoint you. What’s worse, I have more disappointing news. It’s not going to be one of those stories where the nerdy girl gets a big makeover and suddenly turns popular. Nor is it going to be one of those stories where a very, very good looking guy suddenly notices the dorky girl and only loves her.
No. I wish it was like that. But it’s not. Sigh…
My story starts at my best friend, Kim Jaejoong’s house. It was early in the morning. Not even morning yet, I don’t think. 5:30 AM… is that considered morning? Anyway, we were getting ready to go to school. In a few hours, we’d be heading off to our first day as twelfth graders. Oh, the excitement of it all.
Jaejoong and I have been best friends since… five months ago. Okay, so we’re not the ‘best friends since we were born’ kind of friends, but we might as well be. We know everything there is to know about one another. And besides, before we met each other, we were both kind of loners. So we pretty much saved each other from total friendlessness. If… that’s even a word.
Anyways... 5:30 AM… Jaejoong’s house… I was unbelievably tired. But then something happened. It was amazing. It was magical. It was…
How do they say it in movies? Oh yes. Life changing… it was life changing.
Chapter One
“So, Kim Jaejoong, in order to prepare ourselves for senior year, I thought we might get together before school starts and have a little… discussion,†I said, seating myself down at his kitchen table and rubbing my eyes to get rid of the sleepiness.
“Okay,†Jaejoong said, sitting across from me and burying his head in his arms. “But really… we could have had this discussion during our long vacation, but instead you decided to throw rocks at my window at 5 AM only a few hours before we have to be at school and-â€
“5:30 AM,†I corrected. I shuffled around in my seat. “Anyway… I’m sorry about that. But you got enough sleep, didn’t you? You look well and rested.†I cleared my throat. “And really… isn’t it better we discuss everything now so it’s still fresh in your mind when you go to school? If I told you during vacation, I’m sure you’d forget.â€
