Ara’s pov
Next morning ?
I wore my uniform after I had took my bath, I had to wash the uniform yesterday cause of the flour my brother poured on it.
I got downstairs and walked to the dinning room to eat. I ate my food and took my bag. Set to go.
“Ara, don’t cause trouble today in school else.. ” My dad warned.
“Okay dad, I won’t. ”
“Good, now how do I send the money into the school account ” He asked.
I bought out a sheet of paper and gave him, “Here is the account number dad ”
He nodded and took the number, few minutes he was done and stuck his phone back into his pocket.
“You can go, have paid the fee with the girl’s own ”
“Awwnn, thanks dad. I love you dad ” I Said joyfully and peeked his cheeks.
“Really? What about me? ” my mom said, pouting her mouth.
“And me too sister ” My brother joined.
I smiled and peeked the two of them, then ran out of the house riding my scooter. I had removed the headlight completely.
Am going to fix them later.
I picked Binnie on the way and soon, we are inside the school. The security man rolled his eyes.
But didn’t stop us, he allowed us in to the school without a pass.
The students began pointing at us, and murmuring.
“These two are cr@zy, I can’t believe the rude queen’s hair and her friend was cut by these two “?
“Senior Tae should expel them from school ” ?
At the mention of that words, I stiffened.
Will they expel us from school?
Binnie and I walked to the class only to see Young hee and Yoo nah in class. They were were wearing wigs.
A woman was standing between the two of them looking angry. One of them must have bring her.
She look like a w!tch that just drank blood.
“That’s her mother and this one too ” Young Hee said, pointing to us as we entered the class.
“Oh shit, Ara I pray we don’t get expel” Binnie said, and held my hand tight.
“So you are the poor rat that did this to my daughter and even her friend Huh? ” The woman said with rage.
“Am sorry ma, but young hee was the one who started this. She pushed my scooter down with force.
And broke the headlight, and this isn’t the first time she’s looking for our trouble. She do call us poor rats. ” I defended.
“Yes ma, she called us that cause our parents didn’t have money, she even crushed Ara’s bicycle on Monday. ” Binnie said.
“So? You don’t have the right to cut their hair idi0t. Aren’t you girls from slums?
You should be ashamed that you are in this school. This school is only for the rich and not poor chickens like you.
Am sure your useless parents can’t even feed you well. ” She snarled.
The class were already with their phones. G0sh again!
“MA, you don’t have the right to call my parents that. They aren’t useless ” Binnie yelled.
“instead of you to tell them what they did was wrong, you went ahead and support them.
What kind of a mother are you? ” She added.
“How dare you talk to me like that, your worthless parents can’t even stand me and talk to me like that. I will make sure you girls get expel from this school ” She fired back.
“Arrrrghh…. With due respect ma, watch your tongue. I won’t let you insult our parents like that. ” I shouted, while her daughter flinched.
“Ara don’t talk to my mother like that. You bitch ” Young hee said.
“You are only lucky cause your mother is here, I would have slap you and two teeth is gonna come out from your mouth. ” Binnie answered.
“Don’t forget, scissors is still in my bag. I might give your uniform a nice cutting again. ” I replied, smiling.
I don’t know why teacher haven’t come in yet.
“You fools, I will deal with you before I leave here ” Before I could say “Jack ”
She pushed me down, then Binnie to the floor. She pulled my hair but I bite her hand.
She screamed and wanted to slap me but Binnie pushed her away.
The whole class became noisy and teachers rushed in.”Hey stop madam, stop ” A teacher said, trying to stop the woman.
“Ma, you are in the school for God sake. “Another one said.
“What’s going on? ” A sweet and thick masculine voice said.
Everyone stopped and turned to the door.
“Oh my! It the 4HB! Wake me up please. Am dreaming ” ?
“Oppa! He came to our class for the first time. Awwn so sweet “?
“Let me take a picture of him ” ?Another one said and took out her phone.
Young hee’s mother had stood up smiling like a mad woman. Geez!
“Humm.. My son….” Her words were cut short.
“Point of correction, am not your son. ” Tae said, giving her a cold shoulder.
“Okay, These two b!tches had the gut to cut my daughter’s hair and even her friend’s hair too.
What the h*ell!
They even talked to me in disrespect. And I want them expel from school. ” She explained.
They glanced at us, only Seo smiled. The rest… ?.
“Well, I saw the video and I see that these two are guilty. Your daughter and her friend. ” Tae said.
“Is that why you bought your mother here to cause a mad scene here? ” Tae added, pointing to her.
“No, she only came here cause Ara cut my precious hair. ” She winced.
Tae’s pov
“Ohh Why won’t she cut your hair when you did the wrong thing. I don’t wanna talk too much.
Am gonna suspend you and Yoo nah for two weeks ” I announced and turned to Ara.
Her mouth was slightly opened in shock. If only they know who she is.
I don’t know why I keep saving her. She’s supposed to be suspended too for this but I didn’t.
Her friend too was lucky. Gosh! What’s wrong with me?
“But…what about Ara and Soo bin? ” Rhee said looking amused.
“Bring them to our private class ” I answered.
“Collect your suspension letter from the principal ” I added and left the class, leaving them gobsmacked.
Seo’s pov
What’s Tae doing?
Thank God he didn’t suspend Ara, he should also suspend her friend too. She’s pretty though.
She might be my next target after Ara.
Is not that we don’t have the right to suspend or expel someone but Tae is beginning to change.
He suddenly, didn’t want us to suspend the Ara and Soo Bin.
But thank God he didn’t suspend Ara, I wanna have her on bed before she leaves this school.
I smiled at her and left the class, so did my brothers too.
Young Hee’s pov
What?!
Don’t tell me my crush just said that.
Suspension!
“Mom, what are we going to do now? ” I asked.
“Those w!tches bew!tched him. Everything is gonna be fine. I will deal with those two later. I will make them pay for what they did.
I need to go now, your dad must have come back from his trip ” She said, and left the class.
“Oh God! Young hee finished! My parents will be mad at me for this ” Yoo nah said, crying like a baby.
I ignored her and turned to Ara and Soo Bin. Why didn’t he suspend them too? At least he didn’t suspend me for 4 weeks. Cause I will miss the 4days camp.
I walked out feeling embarrassed, my class mates are now mocking me. Am not suppose to be mocked.
Tae’s pov
“Now tell me what the hell you caused yesterday, why did you girls have to cut those girls hair? ” I asked, even if I had known the whole truth.
“Tae calm down, they are girls ” Seo said.
I turned to my brothers “Can you please leave here? I need to be alone with them ” I said, and they stared at me for a while.
They shrugged and went out.
“Now talk ” Turning to Ara.
“Tae, she broke scooter’s headlight and she even crushed my bicycle with her car on Monday.
She do bully Binnie too and threw all stuffs like eggs on her, she insult us too saying we are poor rats. ” She explained.
Binnie? ? what a nickname!
“Hmm.. She said you guys are poor rats? ” I asked, staring at her grey eyes.
“Yes she did ”
“Can you leave us too Soo bin? ” I asked.
She wanted to talk but I gave her a hard glare for her keep shut.
“Okay, I will leave. Ara be careful ” She warned before leaving reluctantly.
Good.
I walked closer to Ara but she moved back and her back was on the wall.
“You know you and your friend are really crazy for cutting young hee and Yoo nah’s hair.”
“Am sorry about that, I didn’t want to do that intentionally but she pushed me to it” She replied, feeling unease.
I placed my hand on the wall, and moved my mouth to her ear and whispered.
“I should have suspend you and binnie or what her name, but I didn’t. This going to the last warning. ”
“Thanks, can… I go now? ” Her voice was shaky.
“Calm down, am not gonna bite ” I moved my hand to her hair and felt something different in me.
I removed the hair band she used to tied her hair in ponytail. Her hair fell down to her shoulder.
She gulped hard, her breathing began changing.
“You look better like this. Now go to class ” I said, and immediately the bell rang.
She nodded and walked briskly out of the room.
“What’s going on Tae? What’s wrong with you? Arrgh. ” I said to my self and sat down on a couch.
