Y/N's POV
Once again, everything feels odd yet familiar. The first day of the second semester has started and everyone gathers in the assembly like always. As time passed by, students slowly filled the assembly grounds.

While the coordinator was doing his usual greetings and speeches, students just minded their own businesses. Not a single soul cared about days like this, including me.

It was time for giving out the awards for excelling students per class. "F/N L/N," My name gets called through the loudspeakers. I stood up, feeling eyes on me, some glances as well.

I made my way up the stage, thanked the coordinator, and took the award. As I faced the front, I notice a group of four from my class shot glares at me from the side of my eye. One rolling their eyes at me while the others had poker faces plastered on their face.

Nevertheless, I carried on and bowed towards the crowd before stepping down the stage. Achieving the top 1 of the class isn't surprising for me anymore. Not in a sense that I'm discouraged nor self-proclaimed.

Sitting down, I see the four of them with bright smiles as if they finished the school year with the highest honors. In fact, this is barely half of the year.

On the other hand, they can go through this year with ease. Like they say, those in power win in society. I don't even need to ask why they had those looks on their faces.

No matter what my position is on the class leaderboard, I didn't care less. But for them, having their parents being part of the school's board, there's more pressure on them.

But in return, they get to save themselves from any trouble they get into. That's what makes them the top of the chain. Meanwhile, I'm just focusing on my studies like a regular student would do.

And just because I beat them by a single percentage, they have full hatred for me. What do they have to get mad over me? When in fact all they do is get an answer sheet before the test and memorize it.

On the other hand, regular students have to study their minds off just to show their worth. And they're taking it in vain despite having a pass from studies.

And that shows how corrupted the system is.

I walked up to my locker and took my things for the first period. "I don't need this piece of trash anymore," Heejin, one of the four of them, places down the lip tint I lent her last time on the books I was carrying.

I just ignored it and went on my way. After placing down the books on my desk, I glanced at the transparent bottle of lip tint. Only a quarter of it was left, so I didn't even mind using it anymore and threw it away.

While waiting for the first class's teacher, Jongseob scoots closer to me. "I'll congratulate you for being a smartass, but I won't let this slide the next time," He says in a low voice. I ignored him and continued scrolling through my phone.

Coming from break, I was going to the classroom a few minutes early before the next class. "Y/N," Someone calls from behind. I stopped before opening the door. Looking back, I saw one of my classmates, Seungwoo, coming to me.

Seungwoo's POV
I scratched the back of my head, proceeding to steal the ballpen from her pocket. "What the heck? Give it back!" She retorts. Instead of going through the nearest door, I came in the room's back door, making her follow.
