"As expected, your sister is the high school valedictorian, Jennie," Irene said. "I'm wondering, you can also be on top 3 if you just put an effort on it. You could've been on the top as well on our graduation day."
The 12 year old Jennie frowned to her friend. Two months from now, they will be graduating in elementary while her sister is graduating high school.
"It's okay, Irene. My grades are not that bad though." She answered while they are walking towards the high school building to get her sister Jisoo.
"I know it's not that low but, hey! Jisoo unnie is coming" Irene said when she saw students getting out from the classroom. "They finished class early we won't be waiting anymore"
Jennie waved at her sister. She creased her brows when she noticed her sister wiping her eyes.
"Are you crying?" she immediately asked.
"Your eyes are red." Irene commented as well.
"Uh, nothing." Jisso answered shortly and fixed her knapsack on her back.
"Let's go, mom must be waiting in the parking already."
They went straight ahead when they noticed a boy running. She should've bumped with him if she wasn't alert enough.
"Ms. Manoban! Ms. Manoban!" The boy shouted running towards her sister's classroom.
The three immediately stopped, looking at the boy. "What's going on?" asked Jisoo.
Ms. Manoban immediately went out running with the boy tailing her at the back. Jennie can't hold on to her curiosity and stopped him.
"What happened? Why is Ms. Manoban in a hurry?" she asked.
"Uh,. Ms. Manoban 's niece..." he said catching his breath.
"What happened to her niece?" she continued asking. Jisoo and Irene were listening with the same curiosity written in their face.
"Lisa unnie is having a fight in the cafeteria" he said and run away.
"Let's go to the cafeteria!" Jennie shouted and followed.
Irene and Jisoo came running after her. Lisa Manoban is a year younger than her sister Jisoo and she's on her junior year. She's the niece of one of the old teachers of Seoul High, Ms. Manoban.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, they saw the said teacher holding her niece while walking away. The two students which Lisa has been fighting with are being guided by the guards.
The two walked in front of them and accidentally Jennie and Lisa's eyes meet. She stepped back and held her books tight because of so much hatred in Lisa's eyes. She doesn't know if that look was for her or something else. That looked scared her.
Her gaze followed the tall girl while walking inside the classroom. She was tall at the age of 16; the reason why they call her Nerdy Long Legs.
Is that the reason why she fought with those guys? She thought. But since Lisa came in Seoul High three years ago, they always bully her with that name and never did she hear Lisa fought because of it. Did she have enough?
"Why are your eyes red Jisoo?" Mr. Kim asked her eldest daughter when they're in the car. He was the one who picked them up.
Jisoo sighed before telling the whole story.
"Our adviser bid her goodbye to us dad. Today is her last day in school because she's retiring. Of course, I was sad...she was my math teacher since my sophomore year. And she was so nice to me.." Jisoo sniffed trying to hold back her tears.
"Ms. Manoban is retiring?" asked the young Jennie. "Why didn't she wait until your graduation? It's two months from now"
"Maybe her resignation will take effect after your graduation, sweatheart" Mr. Kim stated remembering he and his wife were her students too when they were young. "Though I'm curious because she wasn't in her retirement age yet". He added.
Jisoo cleared her throat and looked to their father. "Haven't you heard the rumors, Daddy?"
"What rumor?" he asked while looking at his daughter.
"It's all over High School Department, daddy"
"What about it?? Tell us." Jennie asked impatiently.
"Four days ago, Lisa's dad caught his mom uh..uhm, I mean.. Oh dad, it's so disgusting. She was caught in another man's arms. Right inside the servant's quarter of their mansion.."
"Oh!" Jennie dramatically groaned. "And who was the man Jisoo unnie?"
Jisoo glanced at her younger sister and glared at her. Nevertheless, she answered her question.
"The gardener---"
"The gardener!" Jennie exclaimed. "What a shame dad!"
"Shut up Jennie Ruby Jane!" Mr. Kim scolded.
"And according to the maids, Ms. Manoban kicked Lisa's mom away." Jisoo continued.
"That's a big scandal. Maybe that's the reason why she's retiring early, Daddy."Jennie commented.
Mr. Kim did not comment anymore and drove silently. Meaning, he doesn't want to continue with the conversation.
Jennie was silently sitting at the backseat. Maybe that's the reason why Lisa was in a fight earlier. Because they bully her about what her mom did.
Poor Nerdy Long Legs.
