Ara’s pov
Nervousness!!
My hands became sweaty and glued to the papers in my hands. She opened the door and I walked in behind her.
“Wow ” I said lowly.
The class was superb. The class was noisy but stopped when they all turned to me. I was standing in front of the whole class.
“Hmm.. Hmm.. Class, this is Ara and she’s a new student here. I hope you guys…. ” A girl cut her in.
“Did we ask you to introduce her to us? She should be the one to introduce herself not you fool. Poor church rat. ” She rolled her eyelashes and sat properly on her chair.
Immediately, the whole class laughed like they haven’t done that for years.
“I was only trying to help her out, she seems nervous to talk ” She defended, with tears building up in her eyes.
G0sh! This girl just disgraced my new friend? So it really true, the rich ones bully the poor ones. Not when am now in this school.
“Excuse me please, you don’t have to downgrade like that. You just disgraced her in front of the whole class ” I said, clutching my bag tightly.
“Wait! Are you daring me too? You’d better watch your mouth cause this school is gonna be hell most especially the poor fools like you ” Her voice was hoarse.
“Young Hee, that’s okay. Let’s continue what we were discussing and leave the little frogs alone” A red haired girl spoke and she obeyed.
Young indeed. I turned towards my new friend, a tear had dropped down from her left eye but she cleaned it immediately.
“Am sorry for causing this ” I apologized pitifully.
“Oh! It nothing Ara, you know what? There’s a vacant seat beside me, so you gonna be sitting beside me” She smiled and dragged me.
We got to the back seat and we both sat down.
Luckily, a teacher walked in and began teaching and throwing questions at we the students.
I was glad he didn’t call me cause I wasn’t concentrating.
His time is up and he’s still teaching.
Soon, he went out and another teacher came in apologizing about been late to class.
We did two subjects and now we are having our break. I packed my books into my bag and followed Soo Bin to the cafeteria.
We ordered two burgers each and began doing justice to it.
“It like the 4HB aren’t in school today, perhaps they might be having a private class ” Soo Bin shrugged.
“4HB? You mean 4 HB pencils or what? ” I asked, confused.
She laughed wholeheartedly, “Ara, you are so funny. I didn’t say 4 HB pencils, They are humans and the 4HB am talking about means 4 Handsome Boys. Do you understand now?” She explained.
Like seriously?! 4HB? Why on earth are they given that name? Are they handsome? Guess I can’t wait to see them.
“Can you tell me about them? Please ” I pleaded making a puppy eyes.
“Every one leave now, the 4HB are here ” We heard someone yelling.
And immediately everyone stood up heading out of the cafeteria, some where even running.
“Ara, let’s go. The rude brats are here and they mustn’t see anyone here or else you gonna get punish for this ” She said, dragging me up from my seat.
“I thought you said they aren’t coming? Moreover, I can’t leave here until I finish this burger and the break isn’t over yet.” I replied perfunctorily and sat back.
“Ara stop been stubborn, this boys are not like the normal people you see around you. They are dev!ls”
“Fine! I will leave, not until I finish this food ” I began chewing my burger.
She sighed.
Without saying a word, she left.
” You really love playing with fire Ara.” I turned and saw the fool Young hee or what her name and her red haired friend.
I gave her no response.
” Well good for you, oh! Yoo nah! My crush is here! My handsome Tae! ” She cried, as her friend handed her a handkerchief.
Fool! ?
I turned and saw four angels coming in, Young hee and Yoo nah ran out leaving me to my fate.
The one in the front look more handsome than the three. No wonder they are the 4HB.
As the cr@zy girl I am, I continued my food. Am the only one left in the cafeteria.
They walked closer to me and stopped, Their hands stuck in their pockets.
The one in front climbed the chair I was sitting then the table.
” Didn’t you hear when Leo said everyone should be out of the cafeteria? ” He asked, and
kicked the burger in my front.
I gasped. “Hey! You shouldn’t have done that ” I said, trying to calm down.
Unleashing my anger on this mannerless boy here won’t be good.
He arched his brow and turned to his brothers I think.
“I guess she’s the new student here, she look pretty stubborn ”
“She look disgusting bro ” Another handsome fool said and squeezing his face in disgust.
“Hey! Give me two coffees there ” He yelled and it was immediately bought to him.
He drank one and opened the second one to drink but he didn’t instead, he poured everything on my uniform.
My jaw dropped.
It was a hot coffee. Anger surge into body that made me want to slap him but I won’t.
‘Ara calm down, calm down, calm down’ I glanced at him then his brothers.
I walked two steps away from them but he held my hand causing me to stop.
“This is just the beginning for you dear.” He whispered in to my ear and pushed me away.
I fell down and hit my arm on a pillar. I yelped in pain.
“Guys, she just made me lost my appetite already ” The one who look younger said then walked away.
“Same here too ” Another one said and walked away too.
“Tae, let’s just go home. You knew I hate eating in the school cafeteria but you were the one who insisted we eat here.
And now, this poor baby rat just made me hate this place the more. Gosh! Am out of here ”
Good for him. The one who poured coffee on me is Tae, the one Young hee is crushing on.
He’s just too handsome but has no manners. Too rude.
I stood up and dusted the dirts on my clothes off.
He scoffed and began humming a song.
I limped out of the cafeteria, to the hallway then to the class.
“OMG! Ara! Who did this to you? ” Soo bin asked, scanning my whole body.
“Humm..it nothing, I fell down and had to hit my hand on a pillar” I smiled ruefully.
“Oh.. And your shirt? It smells like coffee ”
” Let’s leave that for now Soo Bin ” She nodded and sat down on her chair reluctantly.
I stood up and went to the restroom to clean off the dirt but it got worsen. I sighed.
I got out and flinched when I saw a pretty girl with a cardigan in front of me.
“I was asked to give you this and remember to return it first thing tomorrow morning ” She said and turned to go.
I was glad. But wait! Who sent her to give me this?
I shrugged and wore it. It looks baggy. I got to class and everyone’s eyes were on me.
What?
The bell rung and a teacher came, then another three teachers came and now it closing hour.
I waved Soo Bin good bye and walk towards where I parked my bicycle but got the greatest shock of my life.
My Bicycle!! ??My precious bicycle!! ??
