You Drive Me Crazy

Chapter 1

"Riingg Riinggg Ringg"    

You wake up with the sound of your alarm clock ringing and check the time... 6:30. Perfect! You woke up just at the right time. You quickly realize the weather is really bad its raining, even pouring and there is the occasional thunder. "What a Great Way to Start the Year" you say sarcastically. You then get your pajamas off and head to the washroom to brush you teeth and wash up. You just bought this new toothpaste about a week ago, and it leaves a weird sting in your mouth but you try to get used to it; Its nothing really big after all. Soon later, you are scrolling through Instagram just checking out how your classmates are doing. You are really excited to get back to normal after loosing 3 years of school to the pandemic. 

As you finish getting ready you get out of the house, lock the doors, and walk a few blocks to get to the nearest subway station. The subway reopened a few months ago so you were really excited to use it again. On the way you laugh to yourself "Damn, this virus got me excited over the most basic things". You use your transit card for the first time in eat seems like forever and you luckily still have enough money for about a week of school. You go to subway and get a breakfast sandwich and seat in one of the tables. Across the hallway you see you friend Jihyo and ask her to seat with you. Jihyo says" Y/N, I missed you so much! we could only talk through text and facetime its soo great to see you"

"Me too" you say

"I'm really excited to get back to music classes, I want to improve my vocals" states Jihyo.

"Aren't you already one of the best singers in town??" you giggle

Jihyo responds "Ummm, I wouldn't say thaaaaat, I just want to be better" 

"Okay, if you say so" You say mockingly

You and Jihyo are just catching up after so many months, even years apart that you forget the time. You hear the word "Train for line 6 leaving in 5 minutes"

"Oh shxt we gotta go" says Jihyo

You and Jihyo run to the terminal as fast as humanly possible and manage to get in the bus just as the doors close. The bus is relatively full, mainly other students catching up with others getting super excited to be back at school, even though everyone had to repeat a year. Unfortunately, you and Jihyo did not manage to get a seat and are holding on to a pole in-between the two middle doors. The number of people in the train seems to stay consistent with about the same number people coming in and out

"Next stop, Exoplanet Avenue: SM High School" states the text-to speech voice"

"This is our stop y/n" says Jihyo

You and Jihyo get out of the train and walk quickly throughout the familiar station. You both are almost running with energy fueled on anticipation and nostalgia for going back from the life of a shut-in. You step out of the subway and see so many familiar faces you though you would never see again. The 7-11 next to the Highschool is as full as ever with all the kids getting snacks to secretly eat during class.  You and Jihyo decide to go in for old times sake and witness a trio of girls trying to scam the cashier. "Isn't there a sale today, buy one get one free right Wendy?", says the one in the middle

"Yeah totally I found it on the website a few days ago, Yeji saw it too" says the shorter one 

"I totally saw it too, you sent to me", smirks the one on the left.

"Please guys, I don't know where you found this but its not happening today" cries the cashier.

The girls seem to go on and on trying to get a two for one deal which in theory is not worth it but they continue nonetheless. The girls are also holding up the line making people start to wait outside. Everyone seems to be glaring at the girls but they do not stop. After about 15 minutes, most people leave and decide to get going into the actual school building. You and Jihyo decided to stay due to the fact that you were next in line. These three girls seem to not give up and begin to berate the cashier.

"Just give us free shxt you ugly bxtch" states the one in the middle.

" I don't apricate you using those words towards me" say the cashier who is at this point almost crying.

At this point it is just You, Jihyo, the three girls, and the cashier. This is until someone with the unfamiliar voice walks in and says.

"Can you guys stop"
