"Want a lift?" Mark asked when he stopped his car near me.

"No"

"And why is that?"

"If I am seen walking out of your car, there'll be questions. I dont have time to answer all the girls in the school"

"Is that a sarcasm?" He asked, his lips smiling playfully.

I ignored him.

"Okay then. Bye" he said and drove off.

For the past three months, every morning when we bumped into each other, he would always asked me if I want a lift. And he knows that I would say no. I sometimes wonder what's in his head.

Homeroom was Mathematics. I kept staring at Mr. Park. His attitude yesterday was still bothering me. His cold face, and his stern voice.

"Any questions?" He clapsed his hand waking me from my thought.

One girl raised her hand.
"Teacher, its my birthday today. Arent you going to wish me?" She said, I dont know, cutely? Or sweetly?

"Ahhh....mianhae Haeri-ah. Now, why dont we all sing happy birthday to Haeri. Come on" he said, smiling at the girl.

"Saengil chukha hamnida
Saengil chukha hamnida
Saranghaneun Haeri-ah
Saengil chukha hamnida" the whole class including Mr. Park sang.

I was just sitting there, doing nothing. Plus, I dont know how to sing happy birthday in Korean anyway.

I kept staring at Mr. Park.

Our eyes met for a brief moment but he quickly looked away.

"Okay then, student. Mid term is coming soon. Only two weeks left. Study hard. If you fail, you'll have to take supplementary exam during vacation"

The class whined, disrupting his talk, he had to quite down them before he can continue.

"So, if you dont want to take supplementary exam, study hard" he finised and walked out of the classroom.

Murmers erupted from the student.

"I hate exams"
"I dont want to take supplementary exam"
"Do you have plans for the vacation?"

I put on my headphone. I dont want to hear all this nonsense.

Months passed by in the blink of an eye. I stayed home the entire vacation. The whole class went to the beach with Mr. Park, of course I didnt go. Other than Mark crashing in my place from time to time, everything was normal.

Two weeks after school start, the school was preparing for a school sport. I'm not really a sport person, but I participated in making pom-pom for the class. Now I'm here in the class, alone.

The whistling sound was continuously ringing, must be the student practicing.

I hear the sound of the door slide, I looked up to see Mr. Park.

"Why are you still here?" He asked.

I hold up my pom-pom, he nodded understandingly.

He walked up to the window and stared outside. I continued making pom-pom. Silence filled the room, only the sound of the clock ticking was heard.

"Arent you going home?" I asked. He jumped slightly.

"Are you done?"

"Yeah. You've been staring into space for quite a while. You okay"

''Yeah, I'm okay. Get home safe " he said and left me alone.
