The weekend went by with a flood of stress and anxiety for Jennie. She hadn't gotten a good night's sleep for several days, and she was having trouble focusing on her schoolwork. Honestly, all she wanted to do was throw herself into her studying and forget about the world.

Jennie headed downstairs to leave for school, sighing. Her father was in the kitchen scarfing down a quick breakfast before work.

"Morning, Jennie," he said.

"Morning, dad."

Come on, Nayeon, hurry up and get here! Jennie thought anxiously. She turned away from her father as she waited in the entryway, hoping he wouldn't notice her poor mood.

"Hey, has something been going on lately?" Well, he noticed.

"Uh, no, why do you ask?" Jennie brushed off his concern.

"You've just been holed up in your room all weekend," her dad said tactfully. Surely, he also noticed how she occasionally donned a set of puffy eyes here and there.

Jennie flashed her father a genuine smile for his concern. "I'm okay, dad. I love you."

"I love you too, Jennie." A text from Nayeon popped up on her phone, and she quickly said goodbye to her dad before heading out to her friend's car. She knew she shouldn't be hiding things from her own father, but if he knew about the recent slew of phone calls and texts she's been getting it would only spiral things out of control. For now, she'd have to deal with it herself.

Before the first period, Jennie headed to her locker to grab some textbooks. However, when she got there, she saw something rather peculiar.

"Uh, Nancy?" she snapped, startling the little dweeb.

"What are you doing to my locker?" Nancy jumped away from the locker. She looked like she was hiding something behind her back.

"Uh, nothing!" Nancy jumped away from the locker. She looked like she was hiding something behind her back. "Uh, nothing!"

Jennie stormed over to her. "What are you hiding behind your back?"

"None of your concern!"

"Excuse me?" Jennie roared. "I'm getting so sick and tired of you pulling this shit! If you don't leave me alone, I'll-"

"You'll what?" Nancy asked, a devious smile suddenly forming on her face. She stared at Jennie with not a hint of fear in her eyes.

"You can't do anything to me. Especially now that I've got that transfer student on my side. She knows how much of a bitch you are."

"Lisa?" Jennie raised an eyebrow.

"Right, she mentioned you last week. Are you seriously going to fuck around with her now?"

"You're going to get yours, Jennie," Nancy threatened with a wide grin.

"I'd recommend you start making some...' self-improvements'." And with that, Nancy ran off with whatever she was hiding.

Jennie cautiously open her locker to see if anything was put in it or stolen out of it. Everything seems to be normal. She must've caught the bitch just as she was breaking in. Jennie slammed the locker shut, utterly frustrated. "I can never get a fucking break, can I?"

Nayeon and Irene continued to provide Jennie with updates on the dirt on Lisa, but Jennie could hardly feign interest. There was so much going on that she'd have to put her feud with the transfer student on hold. She allowed her two friends to continue pulling little pranks on Lisa, but she herself did her best to avoid the tall blonde.

Of course, that was until Tuesday afternoon when she remembered the tutoring session she'd have to go to. Begrudgingly, she made her way to the school library.

She could only hope that Lisa would be somewhat quiet or just not show up, but such things were only wishful thinking. She got to the study room first, but Lisa showed up only a couple minutes later. The transfer student seemed to be in the usual taunting mood.

"Long time, no see, Ice Queen," Lisa greeted.

Jennie outright ignored the other girl, hoping she'd get bored and leave or just study. Lisa sat in the chair across from her.

"Don't feel like talking, huh?" Lisa remarked. She slid the notebook that Jennie was working in towards herself with her index finger.

"Feel like teaching me, then?" Jennie snatched the notebook back.

"I don't feel like dealing with you."

"I'm going to fail math because of you."

"Not my problem."

"How heartless," Lisa chuckled. Jennie could feel her eyes studying her as she pretended to do work.

"Are you mad because I called you out on bullying Nancy?" Jennie's murderous gaze snapped up to meet Lisa's.

"Definitely not. I have no idea what kind of relationship you two have now, but I don't give a flying fuck about it."

"Look, I can tell you're in a worse-than-usual mood lately," Lisa said.

"But more people would feel sorry for you if you didn't treat them all like shit."

Jennie started boiling with anger. Who did she think she was? "I don't want you or anyone else's pity, so step off! You don't even know what kind of person Nancy is, so don't blame me when she decides to backstab your ass!"

Lisa's smile dropped, and she leaned over the table.

"So now you're going to blame the victim? I saw you cornering her when we first met!"

"The world isn't some nice black and white fantasy, Lisa!" Jennie yelled. "Not everything you hear about me is true! Shouldn't you know that with all the rumours running around about you?" Lisa didn't argue back and just looked away.

At this point, her emotions were so overwhelming that Jennie was fighting back tears. And she'll go to hell before she cries in front of Lisa.

She stood up and quickly shovelled her things into her backpack. "You know what? I'm going home. Go ahead and tell Mrs Kang that I left early, I don't care!"

"Hey, Jennie--" She slammed the door behind her before Lisa could finish her reply. She rushed down to the parking lot and just hid in Nayeon's car while she waited for her to get out of softball practice.
