Chapter 2-the new student
Que-Min slumped in her desk as the bell rung at Pure Water High. Once again, Ghoon-Hahn had been giving her major headaches. Sometimes, she just wanted to throttle his fucking throat.
Beside her, Yang-Me bounced up and down excitedly, squeaking about the video and all the hot boys they would be filming. Que-Min just nodded her head as she stared off into space. Her feelings had been so confused lately.
"-and then we're gonna get some hot pics of Jung-Woo and your boyfriend, wots that cutie's name again?" She waited for an answer, but when there was no response, she reached over and tapped Que-Min's head. "Uh, Que-Min, are you still alive?"
"Wha-, sorry, what did you say Yang-Me?" Que-Min shook herself to clear her head. There was way too much stress in her life nowadays. It had been forever since she had beat anyone up; maybe she should go out that afternoon and see if the Dreckmess Gang was still in the neighborhood.
Yang-Me sighed exasperatedly. "Honestly Que-Min, sometimes, you are just so out of it, especially since that little snot Lin tried to get you. You should pull yourself back to reality girl. You're still filming Jung-Woo, remember?"
The teacher rapped the board for silence at that moment, so Que-Min never got a chance to answer, for which she was rather thankful. Jung-Woo had been at the top of her worries list, ever since he had rejected her. With a sigh, she sat up and pulled out a pencil and opened her chemistry text book.
Mr. Ryong cleared his throat however, then turned and whapped his pointer on the desk, achieving both a stunned silence and a broken stick in less than two seconds. Once again, he cleared his throat, though there was no need, and gestured toward the door.
"Class, we have a new student from Japan that just moved here. Please make her welcome."
Que-Min and the rest of the class looked on attentively as the door slid back and a tall, thin girl strode in. Her short black hair was tied back into a low ponytail and she looked as if she belonged in pants rather than a skirt and blouse judging by the way she walked. Nonetheless, Que-Min could not help but notice that she was extremely pretty, and behind her, several whistles sounded out from the male portion of the class.
"Everyone, this is Chun-Ji Hyang." The girl did not bow, but simply nodded her head at the class. "Please take a seat."
Chun-Ji walked up the row slowly, ignoring the stares, and stopped at the desk right in front of where Que-Min sat. Yeon-Wha, Que-Min's other boy-obsessed friend, quickly made room.
"Now will everyone please open your textbooks to page eighty-seven."
Thus, a new girl had come to class
"Que-Min, Que-Min, guess what? I got the most awesome pictures today! Wait till you see them at today's meeting!" Yeon-Wha was positively screaming now with excitement. Que-Min, still staring at her reviews, smiled at her friend's enthusiasm.
"Oh yeah, guess what? You know that new girl Que-Min, I think we should go talk to her, you know. With her looks and everything, we had better tell her which boys are ours so that she doesn't make a move on any of them. Not that she looks like the type that would, but we should make sure."
Que-Min didn't reply. A new reader had just sent her a review, someone by the name of Dragondeath7. Maybe it was the new girl.
At the silence that followed, Yeon-Wha grabbed Que-Min by the arm and all but dragged her out of the computer lab. She just barely had time to log out.
They found Chun-Ji in the cafeteria, making faces at the food in front of her. As the two girls approached, she smiled at them and motioned toward the empty seats around her.
Yeon-Wha sat down quickly in one of the chairs, yanking Que-Min down into another one. Pushing her hair behind her ears, she smiled.
"Hey, I'm Yeon-Wha, and she's Que-Min. Nice to meet you Chun-Ji."
"I prefer Chun."
"Okay then. Listen Chun, since you're new and everything, we thought-ouch! Fine Que-Min-I thought that Ishould tell you that certain boys are off limits to anyone but the Pretty Boys Fan Club."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." Chun grinned, "I'm not really into boys. They are all yours."
Yeon-Wha nodded her head. "Good, well, see you around."
They turned to leave, but as Que-Min walked away, Chun called out to her, "Hey, Que-Min is it? Your story Chun's Paradise is really good. I like the name by the way."
Que-Min motioned for Yeon-Wha to go without her, and sat down again. "You mean it? Thanks. Is your username Dragondeath7?"
"Yeah."
"It's really cool. Where'd you get it?"
A dark expression passed Chun's face, but a second later, it was gone and she smiled. "It was just some random thing I picked up from a book." Her voice was slightly troubled, and Que-Min felt that this was not really true. However she did not want to be nosy, so she just sat and stared at the ceiling. Wow, look at the little spitballs…
"Well, I guess I had better go then." Chun got up and walked out of the cafeteria, leaving Que-Min alone at the table. She was still staring at the ceiling.
