Teacher's Pet

Chapter 1: First Day

It was that day of the year again. That day that marked the end of summer vacation as the school bells rang once again after three months of hibernation. It had been dreadfully hot this summer, leaving little days to be enjoyed. This day was no exception even though, as Jennie Kim would have thought it to be, the end of summer. Really, though, summer wouldn't end for another month.

But still, this day would be the end of the late nights playing video games with her friend, Chanwoo. The two wanted to spend as much time with each other over the summer, since he would be moving to Boston for college. It would also end the nights out with Irene, and sometimes Rosé, as they went about town, sneaking into various parties held by some of the recently graduated seniors. Her friend Irene, being one of them, threw her own little party for herself and Chanwoo.

The four friends had decided to keep cool and stay indoors for a majority of the summer. Hence was why they mostly engaged in said topics throughout their break.

Although, now, all of that was over. Jennie couldn't sleep in until noon every day. Instead, she had to wake up in the early morning, a time she sometimes went to bed after playing a marathon of her favorite game with her buddies. The morning hour of seven o'clock caused the brunette teen to groan as she hit the dismiss button on her phone.

School. Jennie took the liberty to dub Storybrooke High as Hell. Most of the students there were too chipper, nice, snobby, or rude. They were opposite Jennie, who liked it quiet so she could read and do work in peace. She steered clear of them, usually, but in her classes, there was always at least one that would have to be sat next to her, and, that would ultimately ruin her entire year. Hopefully she'd be able to pick her seat in the upcoming classes. It was her senior year, after all. Perhaps they would oblige to her wishes. But, then again, teachers never really do.

Grudgingly, Jennie dragged herself out of bed and picked out an outfit consisting of her usual black attire of jeans, a t-shirt, and an overlarge hoodie. It may have looked insane that she would wear such attire outside in this sweltering heat, but the school was like Antarctica inside. The idiots that run the school apparently had no idea how to control the temperature.

Shaking those thoughts from her head, she picked up her phone and checked if she had any messages. Irene had promised to text her in the morning before her shift started at her grandmother's diner.

Despite graduating from high school, Irene had decided to stay in Storybrooke to help her elderly grandmother with the diner. Of course, her granny had insisted that she hadn't needed the help, although the collapse in the storage room months prior had told otherwise.

Jennie was glad that she wasn't leaving, although that may be selfish of her. She only had Rosé to talk with in school now, and with Chanwoo leaving, she had no one else outside of school to hang with. Hopefully one of the girls would be up to playing the new game system that she had gotten for her birthday over the summer as their male friend had.

Speaking of Irene, a smile crossed over her face as she saw a text from said girl.

Hey, Kim. Ready for a new day in Hell?

She chuckled and shook her head, the Hell joke about school between the four never gets old. As far as they knew, the principal was the devil and the teachers his little minions.

Yeah. Right.

Jennie hit send and set her phone down so she could quickly strip from her sleeping attire and do the casual clothing that she set out. Then her phone buzzed again, lighting up with a new message from Irene.
