(Nari pov )

I wake up, hearing my alarm go off. I groan at the sunshine in my eyes as I get up to start to get ready. I barely got any sleep.

I drag myself out of bed, unlocking my bedroom door. I hear my mom downstairs and the loud coffee machine roaring. it's probably as old as me, she refuses to get a new one. she's stubborn like that.

I take myself to the bathroom, doing my morning routine with lazy movement.

I spaced out while brushing my teeth, probably because i'm half asleep. and the reason why I'm half asleep was because of last night.

"Nari! This unacceptable!" My mom yells with clenched fist.

"Mom, I- I tried my best on it."

"If you tried your best the percentage wouldn't be so low. now go to your room, now." She points towards the hallway. I listened to her because I didn't have enough energy to fight back at 11 o'clock at night, and I didn't want this argument to carry on any longer.

I want to stop doing that. I want to stop listening to her demands like i'm a child when i'm not.

I slam the door behind me, I regret it immensely. I just plop myself on my bed and cover myself in the blankets. I used to cry myself to sleep every night after she yelled at me, but i'm just sick of this already.

"Hey! You better be getting ready now!" My mom calls out, snapping out of my flashback. I roll my eyes as spit my toothpaste out. I walked out of the bathroom, going into my room to fix up my appearance and get my uniform on.

"don't worry mom, I'm up," I say walking down the stairs as I fix my hair. I see her at the front door in her normal office attire.

"I'm going to be home early today with a guest over. Behave yourself okay?" I nod my head, leaning on the stair post. She packed her bag with her normal work stuff. She made her way to the door, no "I love you" or anything. just a simple "bye" and then shut the door.

"bye." I said after the door was shut.

my dad was no where in sight. I guess he left early for work. he's luckily still here living with us, yet he's always absent. he's a more work focused dad than an actual dad. the only time he spends at home is either to sleep or work even more.

my mom's expectations are way too high, leaving me known as a failure to her. and my dad is barely a dad to me. the last time it remember spending quality time with him was during my first year in highschool.

I barely talk about my home life at school, afraid someone might use it against me. But I still have the best support from one of my friends, Haemin.

Haemin has always been there for me. She has always been my comfort person when my mom acts up. Her home is like my second home, and her mom is like the mother I always wanted.

I am alsl close with her twin, Hyunjin. I remember forcing him to play makeup salon and teasing him when he actually liked it. i've always had a sibling dynamic with him in a way

Once I finished getting ready, I started walking to school. I usually walk to school since it's nearby, but I also walk because, on the way there, I stop at Haemin's house and pick her up.

I knocked on her door and saw her mom, Mrs. Hwang. She opens the door and she smiles warmly. "Oh hello Nari! So nice to see you! here to get Haemin?" She says, and I nod smiling back.

She turns around and raises her voice "Haemin!! come down here!! Your friend is waiting!!"

"I'm coming mom!!" I hear a voice say from upstairs, then footsteps scurrying down. Then sees Haemin walk downstairs, with her twin brother, Hyunjin behind her.

"Hi Nari! Bye mom, I'll see you later!" She says waving bye to her mom as we walk down her driveway. Hyunjin, with his earphones plugged in, waved to his mom too, following us from behind.

All of us start to walk to our school, feeling the refreshing spring air. It's nearing the end of the year, just a few more months, and then junior year will be here.

"Nari, you're offly quiet today, did something happen?" She says, stopping her story. I just shake my head and try to brush it off, but in reality, all I can think of is my mom yelling at me last night.

"No no, I'm fine, tell me more about what happened yesterday," I assure her, she agrees and continues her story. I had always been the listener, and she had always been the talker. Although we are both there to listen to each other, she has always been the one to talk about random stuff. And I liked it that way, I liked listening to her.

She talked about some show she started to watch and actually recommended me to watch it. But she spoiled the whole show whenever she finishes an episode, there is no point in watching it when you know everything.

"oh my gosh.. he's literally ethereal! ugh, I wish I was her so bad.." she said, referring to the main character and her love interest. Our arms were linked together as we walked, Hyunjin following behind us.

"eww.. that's gross.. I'm telling mom about this!" Hyunjin calls out from walking behind us, that dramatically disgusted expression on his face that he always gives

"Don't you dare Hyunjin!" she glared behind us, letting a soft chuckle escape my mouth

I had not interest in romance and stuff. I just don't get all the hype. But then, I met someone that changed my whole prospective on that.
