Once I'm halfway through my day, I run to the lunchroom. I knock into a few girls, causing me to widen my eyes. They look at me judgmentally, causing me to bow in apology. Finally, they look away, leaving me to my lunch feast. I grab my lunch tray, entering the line next to the girls. They barely get any food, causing me to blink as they walk away, arms linked like the mean girls. I look back to the food, pointing to the braised pork.

"That one, please," My eyes light up as she gives me a lot, the lunch lady smiling happily. Giving me other sides, I wave to her, the old lady waving back to me. I must say, I am her favorite. She's a kind person, and treats me right! So, I think I should treat her the same. "Thank you, Ms. Chae! See you!"

"Bye, Areum!"

I walk to my table, seeing Jiyoon spaced out from Jongseong. At school, we don't associate together. At the far left table, my brother's yelling loud. Considering that Park Jongseong's a popular sports player, he sits at a table with all his friends. Jiyoon sits at the far right table with all her makeup friends, rolling her bangs and eating salad. Then, there's me, the girl who's just... there! I mean, I wouldn't have it any other way, considering that nobody knows me and I know nobody.

But sometimes, it's not fun being the middle child. Though I'm often wanted, sometimes, I'm not the best.

I take a seat near Jongseong's side of the table, seeing Sunoo sitting with them. I only sit there to sneak glances at Sunoo, my eyes shifting as I eat the braised pork like a pig.

Okay, bad similarity, but it works.

Jongseong sees me and meets my eye, causing me to widen my eyes and look back down at my food. I hear footsteps coming towards me after the idle chat, causing me to eat even faster. The only problem between the three of us is that none of us want to tell others that we're siblings. Jongseong and Jiyoon often say that they'd love to introduce me as their sister, but not the other... and I can't tell if that's a good thing for me or not. Suddenly, something lands on the seat next to me, causing me to spare a glance.
