2. New school

Chaewon went inside her bestfriend's room, with an ice cream tub on her hands.

It was dark, everything lying on the floor, as if no one had been living inside it for three months.

"Wonyoung-a" Chaewon spoke and went beside her bed.

"Go away." A girl softly replied under the sheets.

Chaewon sat on her bed beside her, "Your mom let me in." she tried to start a conversation, but got no replies.

"She told me you were transferring to my school. Why didn't you tell me?" Chaewon still didn't get an answer.

"I brought ice cream. It's your favorite flavor." It was then that the girl finally got up.

"That's not my favorite, it's yours, mint chocolate."

"Oops sorry" Chaewon jokingly put her hands up, "you feeling better? Everyone's getting worried."

Wonyoung put a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth, "I'm sorry, I know I'm being mean and overdramatic."

"Don't say that. Rejections can be very hurtful, especially in your case when you've been in love for 7 years." Chaewon said.

Wonyoung became silent again for some time.

"Look, it's not your fault Jisung doesn't like you back, sometimes the people we like just don't like us back, and it's very natural to feel sad about these things. Especially when you're just turning 17."

Chaewon tried her best to make her feel better.

"So you sure about the whole transferring thing?" She asked as she took a spoonful of ice cream.

"Yeah..." Wonyoung replied, "besides, I don't even have friends there, the only reason I went there was because...you know.."

Park Jisung, who had been her crush since she was 9 years old. They sat together most of the time during elementary school, which is why she instantly got a crush.

A part of her knew he didn't like her back, but she just didn't want to admit it.

"Sorry Wonyoung, I just like the way we are right now you know? As friends..."

She hadn't smiled at all since she heard those words 2 days before.

"Anyways I'll be going to your school from day after tomorrow." She finally gave Chaewon a small smile.

"That's right, you, me, Minju, Sakura and Yuqi. Imagine how much fun we're going to have. So cheer up, ok?"

Wonyoung gave a slightly bigger smile and nodded.
