My Introvert Girl

Part 4

Author's POV

It's been 2 weeks since the last time Chaeyoung talk to Mina. Everytime she saw Mina, Chaeng would just stare at her from afar. Wouldn't deny it, she really missed Mina.
It's just, her pride. She's too afraid to approach her first.

When Mina looked at her, she would pretend that she didn't saw her and just walked away. Mina would always trying to catch her, but she's not fast enough. They both would end up feeling sad but no one ever say it out loud.No one really have the courage to say the truth that they miss each other.

Chaeyoung afraid she would just disturb Mina. On the other side, Mina though Chaeyoung dislike her. Because evertime their eyes meet, Chaeyoung would go away and start avoid her.

Honestly this past few weeks has been very rough for Chaeyoung. She got many assignments to do, and a few presentations. Everybody in her class is so competitive, when the teacher ask a question almost all of the students would raise their hand. It's kinda make her felt insecure. Chaeyoung start to think that she doesn't belong in here.

It's really hard for her, since she doesn't really have someone to relay on. She felt very lonely, and she doesn't like it. It's not like no one talk to her tho. Momo and Sana would ask her to join them, but Chaeyoung would reject it and prefer to be alone. It's not because she didn't like to be with them, i mean Momo is a good friend she's always care about her. And sometimes Sana would approach her just to offer some food.

They are a good person, and it's a lie if Chaeyoung said she doesn't want to be  closer with them. It's just, that Irene girl. She's always together with Sana and Momo, actually she's look like a good person. But, oddly every time she stare at her. Chaeyoung always feel uneasy, it's like 'not so friendly' gaze.

Maybe Chaeng just overthinking, after all Irene always look friendly. Everyone saw her as a beautiful, caring, smart girl. Everyone like her and want to be close with her. She's quite famous tho, although Irene is still in her first year everyone in the school already know her. Maybe that's the other reason why Chaeyoung doesn't like play with her. She doesn't like getting much attention.

Meanwhile Mina, just like Chaeyoung. Maybe she has many friends, but still something is missing. Mina would always wonder if by any chance she does something that make Chaeyoung dislike her.

Maybe it's because something i said?
Maybe she got hurt because of my word?
But what, i never say something mean.
Maybe she just don't like me.

These thoughts always hunted her this past few weeks. Sometimes Mina would spot Chaeyoung, waiting alone in front of the gate. She always try to approach her, but there's too crowd. Too many people that prevent her way towards Chaeyoung. And also you should know. Chaeyoung's mother never late to fetch her. So when Mina finally arrived at the gate, Chaeyoung would already gone. And can you believe, it's happen not just once but many times. It's felt like destiny is never on her side.

It's already monday now, Chaeyoung sat quietly paying attention to the teacher in front of her class. The teacher explained about trigonometry now. As you know, Chaeyoung really like math.

"Open page 43 task 1, write in your exercise book. You must collect it when the first period is over."
After saying that, Ms.Kim sat down on her chair.

Everyone start to do their job quietly.
"Chaeyoung... chaeyoung..."
Chaeng can hear someone whispering her name. She glace at her right, it's Somi's voice.

"Yes?" Chaeyoung answered in a low voice, so the teacher wouldn't hear.

"Can you help me? I don't understand this one." Somi pointed at her book.
