The fear

"The fear isn't something that you can escape. But something that you can make for yourself. You don't know when will you will get your first fear... It doesn't matter if you are scared of ghosts or exams, all that matters is that you're scared and fear can kill you. No matter how small the thing is"

"Huh! I don't even care about your opinion. No one does accept your stupid friends"

He said I am ugly, but I am currently absent-minded and negligent of the current narratives given by the male teenagers for me that is not presumably something good to know about me in front of me. As she was coming forward and looking straight in front with full confidence like "I can hit on you but I'm not that free" Her face said that clearly.

Well, you could tell when someone changes. Not everyone is THAT brainless or deficient to not to regard some distinguished changes... Are they?? I thought that too. She has changed. I think she should... For her haters for her unfaithful and phony ex-boyfriend. I don't know why that feels a bit pleasurable I hated it first but I don't know why am I liking it. Maybe because she is my best friend? Or I hate the person that cheated on her, maybe?? Yeah, maybe that's the reason... I won't think about it, I have still my exams left anyways......

END OF POV

"what is haerin even thinking of?"

"What is even going into her mind?"

"I don't know"

“I don’t know either”

“I have never seen her like this”

“me too”

“Her facial expression and body language is different from other days”

“I think that too”

“She feels a bit changed”

“Maybe because she saw her best friend after one month”

“But she wouldn’t give a filthy and smugly smirk because of it. No one does.”

“who knows?”

“What do you even mean?”

“maybe she’s turning into something unacceptable”

“That can’t happen, she’s different.”

“And how do YOU know that”

“She’s someone who can’t change easily”

“How”

“It’s in her blood but let’s see”

“Yeah, who knows what is she?”

“Maybe she knows the truth?”

“Stop talking nonsense”

“I’m not talking nonsense”

“yes, you are”

“I don’t know let’s see”

“yeah, and let’s prepare for that exam”

“yeah let’s go”

“hmm”

3rd person POV

Haerin was smart she won’t do anything stupid but sometimes stupid gets smart, not smart gets stupid. Haerin was thinking of her best friend but her thoughts were interrupted when the school bell’s ringing echoed in the large school hall which indicates that she has to sit for her exam. Panicked students started running here and there is anxiety and concern because those who didn’t have to give exams they’ll have methodical classes and they'll get late if they don't run as soon as possible. And those who have their exams are going to go to the exam hall. Haerin was completely shocked. She just dashes towards the library to get her stuff and gets hold of her stuff.

Haerin was not taken away by trepidation she was not depressed or worrying about her failure or success in the exam. She was just listening to her heart pulsation and smiling to circumvent the worry in her because ignorance is also a thing. She was calmly escorting through the hallways full of panicking children and thinking what kind of questions would come. I wouldn't say the hallway floors were unblemished and spotless because not everyone has clean footwear.......

After a 2 minute walk, she finally was in front of the plywood-made jet black door designating the class as "Examination hall of high school students". Now Haerin was getting hesitant and conceiving what kind of questions would come into her exam.

Haerin's POV

"Will I be able to pass the exam"

"Would I even be able to score good marks??"

"Can I do this?"

"Did I study well?"

"Was my study enough for this?"

"God please save me this time, I will study completely next time"

"I am a topper"

"Believe in yourself girl"

"I can do this"

"please god save me"

"I will do this"

"to meet my sister"

"to give my brother a sister again"

"for me"

"Ok, let's go"

I was standing in front of the room. I was scared as heck. It was a fright moment. I had never been scared so much. I was telling myself this...

"Come on you can do it!"

I entered the class and a smell of expensive perfume entered my nostrils. It was a seductive smell. Like the more it comes closer to you the more you'll crave for it it was not easy to resist the smell. I looked here and there and discovered someone's back facing me. That person had broad shoulders and I could see all the girls salivating and dripping their hungry eyes over him. These were the girls who were dying over that fuckboy 10 minutes ago. From his back, I could tell that he had a muscular body.

That muscular male turned towards me to get familiar with an unfamiliar face. He looked like he was of my age nearly. Even if I didn't see that person in my whole presence of life I felt I knew him. That muscular physique smiled at me and asked-

"Kim Haerin, am I right?" still smiling

"Yes, but can I ask you something?" I smiled and replied back

"Yeah, sure! What is it?" He said

"The thing is that I haven't seen you in this school before you seem new here, are you a teacher?" I asked curiously about the well-built human in front of me who was continuously smiling.

"No, I'm not a teacher haha " he laughed and continued "But a student in South Korea's college that you guys are giving a test for. The students are supposed to see students because only a student can understand other students, and yeah, I am of your age. I'm not elder than you. You can talk to me freely" he smiled and announced.

"oh ok good," I said understanding and nodding my head, and smiled. "what's your name?" I asked.

"My name is So-bong tae" He smiled.

Gosh, this person smiles a lot.

I could feel the jealousy and death stares from the class for me.

"Then he said "Haerin your seat is there, you can sit there," he said aiming at the seat at the back.

I looked in the direction where he pointed his finger and Olivia was sitting beside my seat. I was confused but I had to sit anyway so I went there and sat beside her.
