More Than Revenge [Chaelisa, Jenlisa, Chaennie]

Chapter 1

Prologue

Two Years Ago

Chaeyoung entered the party in her usual fashion, late and already drunk. She didn't even know whose party this was, she had been invited by a couple of friends from a different school. She never went to her own school's parties. At Melbourne Secondary College she mostly blended in and did well in school, and she didn't want to draw any attention to herself. Plus she got horny when she was drunk and she was absolutely not going to fuck someone and then have to sit across from them in maths or something.

Tonight was not a good night. Her anxiety had become too much again and when she got the text about a party only fifteen minutes away she had jumped at the opportunity to literally get as shit faced as possible. Hey at least she was solving one problem... she'd work on a healthy lifestyle later.

Chaeyoung

Chaeyoung arrived in Korea just in time for the beginning of the school year, maybe she should have booked an earlier flight but she was sad to leave her family, she'd miss them, even if she was glad to be moving away. Unsurprisingly the flight took a lot out of her, travel always did and maybe it would have been good to have a few days to relax. Oh well, too late now. Walking into the arrivals lounge Chaeyoung looked around. The school had sent a student advisor to come and help her settle in. Hillpeak is a very prestigious school with a history of supporting a select few international students for their final years. Graduating from this school will be great for Chaeyoung, their arts program is world renowned and she could study music at any university she wants to if she does well here.

A smiling woman with a short brown bob approached her carefully.

"Roseanne Park?" She questioned.

"Uh yes, or Chaeyoung."

"Ah well, welcome to Korea Chaeyoung. How about we get your bags and head to the car?"

***

The car ride was long and made Chaeyoung even more exhausted. The kind woman, Ms Jue, told her a lot about the school but most of it went in one ear and out the other, then something caught her attention.

"Sorry, what was that?"

"Oh, just there is another girl starting this year too, she is in the room across from yours."

The school owned several apartments that they would manage and rent out to international students, nothing fancy but Chaeyoung was excited to try living alone.

"I'll pick the both of you up early tomorrow, then I'll show you around the school for a bit and explain the trains to you, I'm sure you'll be fine travelling together."

"Yes, thank you."

Chaeyoung smiled politely and hoped that the girl would be nice.

Arriving at the apartment block Chaeyoung didn't feel very tired but she decided to go to bed right away, she didn't want jet lag or anything to ruin her first day at school, even though Korea and Australia have similar timezones. To her surprise she fell asleep right away and it barely felt like she'd slept at all when her alarm rang to wake her up. Chaeyoung winced as bright light came through the window where she forgot to close the blinds. The sun was just over the horizon as she stood and stretched. Today was an important day and she hadn't unpacked at all last night causing the morning's preparations to turn her room into a disorganised mess.

It's okay, I'll clean it up later.

Thinking this she turned to the wall length mirror and surveyed her reflection. This uniform was better than her old schools. The skirt and blazer looked cute and she no longer had to wear a yellow dress. A definite win in her opinion.

Finally ready Chaeyoung decided to go downstairs to wait for Ms Jue, opening her door she came face to face with one of the most beautiful people she'd ever seen. Her mouth made an o shape as she looked at the angel before her. Waiting casually in the doorway across the hall stood a girl with the same uniform and who was almost as tall as Chaeyoung. Her brown hair had bangs that sat perfectly straight across her forehead, not a single hair out of place. The beautiful girl turned to her and grinned making Chaeyoung's heart beat a little faster than before as she looked into her dark brown eyes.

"Hi, I'm Lisa"

"I'm Roseanne, I mean, Chaeyoung, I mean" Chaeyoung stuttered slightly smiling shyly, "It doesn't matter."

Lisa stared at her with a faint smile.

"Okay Chaeyoung... Well, are you excited to start at Hillpeak?"

"Yeah"

"I'm doing dancing, and photography," Lisa shared as they walked to the elevator.

Chaeyoung smiled.

"Cool I'm focusing on music, you must be a good dancer to get in to the school."

"Well yeah, I am."

Chaeyoung laughed at her bluntness.

"What? I'm the best. You must be pretty good at music to get in too though," She looked thoughtful as they entered the elevator, "I guess we'll get used to being around a lot of arty students."

"Yeah I guess so."

"I guess so," Lisa echoed staring at the blonde who was playing with her own hair nervously.

"Wow. You're beautiful." Lisa said as she looked back up at Chaeyoung. Lisa smirked as Chaeyoung blushed.

"And you're gay," Chaeyoung replied raising an eyebrow.

Lisa burst into a cheeky grin and Chaeyoung giggled.

"You got me. I take it you're straight then?" Lisa said as the lift began to descend. Chaeyoung hesitated slightly.

"Uh, yeah I guess so, maybe, probably I mean"

Lisa looked at her amused.

"Well if you ever want to experiment, I'm just across the hall," She spoke in a fake hushed tone.

Chaeyoung scoffed and slapped her arm laughing. She'd never gotten along with anyone so quickly, certainly never enough to discuss her sexual orientation the first conversation they had. She smiled slightly looking again at Lisa as they reached the ground floor but when Lisa noticed and gave her a wink she quickly rolled her eyes and entered the lobby. She was straight right? She'd never really thought about it before but for some reason when she saw Lisa staring into her eyes she almost didn't want to say she was.
