blame it on me

one: aussie with the scholarship

How could I possibly forget that day? I remember it was a hot and sunny afternoon and we were on second period on a Tuesday, which means it was Ms. Chaerin's raggedy ass class. I fucking hate that old hag.

Anyway, I don't want to stray away from the real reason I'm writing on this stupid journal – and let me make it very clear that I still consider this a waste of my precious time, and I'm being forced to do this against my will and better judgement.

That day I fell asleep during Chaerin's botany class while she was explaining some bullshit about natural medicine and whatnot. Let's be honest here, why the fuck would I want to know the difference between poisonous and medicinal plants? I think it's more sensible to just buy medicine at a pharmacy like a normal fucking person, instead of playing hippie in the 21st century like we live in the jungle or something.

But Chaerin's old ass wasn't a normal person. Oh no, that bitch was the typical obnoxious teacher that would give me the worst fucking assignments all the time because she was my legal guardian, like ?? umm excuse me, ma'am, how is that my fault? Not to mention, she didn't exactly like me, and the feeling was pretty much mutual.

Although if we're going to talk about actual weirdos, I think my best friend Hanbin would top that category with flying colors. He's a reckless womanizer who can never keep it in his pants, no matter how many times he's been bitch-slapped, yelled at, and kicked in the nuts – rightfully so –, and he seems to forget he has an extremely jealous girlfriend who's always on his ass about it.

But anyway, back to what I was saying about that day, I remember vividly the moment she came into the classroom... and into my life.

"Kim Jisoo!" that crazy old witch yelled, waking me up abruptly. Rude.

"What do you want?" I grumbled, and as I slowly peeled my eyes open, I realized all eyes were on me and the classroom soon filled with giggles and whispers.

Bastards.

"This is a classroom, not a spa. Would you rather go to sleep in the dean's office?" she asked me with a mock.

That fucking- she knew pretty well how much I hated that guy! Especially the vice principal.

"Relax, old lady, I won't sleep again" I replied with a snark and a roll of my eyes. "It's not like I can rest with all that rabid dog barking yelling thing you got going on, anyway..."

I swear I meant to whisper that last part, but the old bitch heard me and so did my classmates who were laughing like maniacs. And by the death glare she was sending me, I knew I was in big trouble when I got home later that day, so I shut my mouth and brewed in my seat.

"I'd like to announce that today we have a new student joining us" she suddenly declared, and it caught my attention. "She comes from abroad and has been granted a scholarship into our prestigious school due to her great intellect."

Oh fucking hell, not another circus freak. How many fucking nerds can there be in one school?

I lifted my gaze to see the possible weirdo that was going to come join us now.

"You can come in" Chaerin beckoned her with a smile and a wave.

Ding ding ding! Attention lesbians: a whole snack has been served. You may proceed to devour.

I gotta admit the girl was a fine beauty with the long brown hair that cascaded down her shoulders in silky waves, the almond-shaped eyes that sparkled with the few rays of sunshine coming in from the window, and the cute and chubby cheeks that made her look like one of those hairy small animals that live on trees... chipmunks? Yeah, chipmunks.
