she barked at me "Nobody even cares about you and your stupidity. So stop clowning around and mind your own business."

"Hey, hey, HEY!" yelled Ryujin "We don't need you stirring up trouble again."

"Exactly, just stop and just fuck off It's so simple and yet, you can't do it. Idiot." Junkyu told her

"And if I don't, what are you going to do about it? Tell the teacher? I mean, I can always kick you out of the school and sue your parents." She explained "Plus your parents aren't even good workers, I guess my parents can fire them and send them back where they came from. The landfills looking for food."

I had had enough of her. She had been doing this for so long and I couldn't wait for it to stop. But what could I do? Should I just sit here or stand up and do something? She's been doing this for years. Ever since we were in middle school. We have been living in hell because of her. Our lives haven't been normal because of her. She would bother us non-stop. Someone left the school because of her. She was so nice but Soojin did whatever she felt like doing and looked what happened, her name was Kang Mina. She moved to Jeju and I had never heard of her ever since.

I started to put my hand into a fist and stayed in one position.

"Hey Hyerin," asked Soojin "Can you do my jobs for me? I'm kinda busy today after school so please can you do it?"

"I actually can't I have to go-" I started to reply

"Just do it." she hissed at me "See ya tomorrow."

There I went, mopping the floors, erasing the blackboard and stacking the chairs onto the desks. Then finally, I was done. Done "my" duties. I could finally go home, my job is done. I walked home and as I stepped into the house, my mom came up to me and asked "WHERE WERE YOU?!"

I couldn't think of an excuse but luckily, I got one just in time.

"I was doing my duties at school," I replied.

"Oh okay." She smiled "Go wash up and do your homework. I'll meet you here."

Then I went and washed up. I was just in my room, with my headphones in. Looking at my old photos when I was a kid, in elementary. My elementary school photos. We were so small and here I am, almost in high school. Can you believe it? We were going to graduate middle school soon and get to high school. As soon as you think about it, you're now graduating from high school to start our big lives.

The next day, I was just there sitting at my desk sitting with my friends and Soojin came up to me.

"If you want me to stop, at break time, go to the school snack bar and buy us what we want." she scoffed "Go now, it's break time anyways. Here's a list"

She chucked me a list of food and snacks to buy. I came into the store and there was a nice guy who always worked at the school's snack bar, who was Mr. Park.

I grabbed my basket and went off buying these things they wanted. Rushing through every aisle. When I was finally done, I put the basket on the counter and Mr. Park looked at me like he was going to question me. He was done checking the items and I looked at the total. Oh, my-

IT'S 30 DOLLARS?!

"No way, it can't be," I mumbled

"Your total will be $29.97," He said

"WHAT?!" I blurted

"Your total will be $29.97," He said again

Oh no, I'm screwed. I don't have much money but I guess I'll pay as much money I have. I don't really ask for an allowance but my mom gives me money. She gives me money, so I can pay for "delicious" food with friends. I wasn't even friends with them but here we are. I paid, got no cashback but at least they can leave me alone. It didn't stop. I kept coming back for days and even months! It never stopped. I had burns from the bags of the snack bar I held 2 on each hand. One day, Mr. Park noticed that I have been here too many times. I mean I've only been visiting every day for 4 months. 4 fucking months 4 months is a long time. Almost half a year, not really. Mr. Park gets really suspicious nowadays.
