Candy // SeulRene

The second period in the afternoon ended. I was always the last one to leave cause I hate bumping with my classmates like seriously? It's like the classroom is on fire. Everyone wants to save themselves. They pushed eachother hoping to be the first one to leave the room. I can't understand their behaviors

I fix my things and exited the classroom but then I heard someone calling my name. I stop and turn around to meet the voice and there she is. Kang Seulgi, running in the hallway breathlessly even though students are not allowed to ran in the hallway.

"B-baechu w-wait" she said between her pants

"B-baechu?" I repeated blushing by the sudden nickname. When finally she catch her breath she smiled at me showing her pretty teeth

"Yes Baechu. Can I call you that from now on?"

"I-it's f-fine. S-seulbear" I said the last word quietly but enough for her to hear. If I'm red a while ago I'm sure that I have transformed into a tomato now

"Did you just call me Seulbear?" She said with a teasing tone. You wish to tease me ha.

I walked past her and proceeded to attend my next class which I remember that I had with her

"Baechu wait up" I didn't bother to stop or slow down but because I'm slow it wasn't hard for her to catch up. She hold my hand and shoot me her famous eye smile

"You know I didn't ran in the hallway, got scolded by the teacher just to let you leave me"

"You got scolded? Why did you continue running then?"

" Well I want us *she pointed at me and her* to walk together to class"

,,,

"Where are you taking me my sit is over there" I said pointing to the seat that belong to me for the first half semester. While she's dragging me towards the back of the class

"You're going to sit with me" she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world

I stopped in my track. Knowing that the seat that she want me to occupy is already taken by someone. I'm not sure about it though since I never really look at my surroundings.

"Don't worry about it just sit beside me" she pulled the chair and made me sit on it

"What about the owner of this seat?"

"Don't worry about it. Park Sooyoung is my cousin but call her Joy okay? She prefer it that way. She's the one who used to sit here and I already told her to find a new seat" she smile again. She keeps on smiling doesn't she get tired of it?

"There she is" she pointed to a taller girl infront. The girl wave at me and I smile at her in return. She turn her gaze to Seulgi and mouthed 'You owe me bitch'. I was about to asked Seulgi if that girl love to curse at everyone but the professor didn't let me as she entered the classroom and started her lesson.

I want to focus on the lesson but I could feel her gazes on me. Everytime I turn around to meet her eyes she doesn't get embarrassed by it. the monolid eyes doesn't even bothered to look away and just smile and told me how pretty I am, which is quite new to me. I'm used to people staring at me but they would advert they gaze if I caught them unlike Seulgi who just shoot me an eyesmile and tell me that she's just admiring a beauty. She really treated me differently and I like it

"You're pretty" I turn to look at her

" Are you a broken plate?" (This was supposed to be 'sirang plaka' it is a Tagalog phrase. it describes a person who's been repeating the same thing that he/she said like a broken template/machine)

"Well I just want to repeat it again and again because I can't get over your pretty face" she smile, that smile again.

"Is that so Ms.Kang?" We didn't notice that the professor was already infront of us. I felt embarrassed having someone heard that cheesy word

Seulgi stand abruptly. You know like a soldier that been called for attention by their superior

"You can't get over Ms.Bae's face that's why your ignoring me and my class?... You have guts to flirt in my class" My face turn redder by the mention of my name

"No ma'am I was actually listening" Seulgi don't say that

"Oh really then go infront and solve the problem on the board." oh no

"Yes ma'am actually I'm going now... to the Detention office" Seulgi said and got her stuff. She was about to leave but I stood up

"Yes Ms.Bae?" The professor raised her eyebrow

"I'm also at fault ma'am. She just answered my question. I believe that it's unfair to only send Seulgi for detention"

"*Sigh* Ms.Kang and Ms.Bae proceed to the detention hall right now"
