THIRD PERSON POV
The alarm's ringing made Miyoung's eyes shot open as she sat up on the bed instantly.
She scowled when she realised that she was the only one who wake up from the noise.
She reached out her hand to the nightstand and turned off the alarm.
The five of them slept in Miyoung and Aeri's dorm yesterday since they were too tired to walk back to their dorm which is located at the end of the hallway.
"You should go back to your dorm, Jihyun." Miyoung shakes Jihyun's arms who shared the bed with her.
"It's still early.." Jihyun groaned with her eyes closed.
"Yes, we still have another 30 minutes before the class start." Miyoung said, emphasizing every word with sarcasm and pushed Jihyun off from her bed.
Jihyun fell off from the bed, leaving loud thud on the floor.
"Ouch!" Jihyun rubbed her head since her head hit the floor first and she believed her skull cracked.
Miyoung glared at the 3 figure who were sleeping peacefully on the other bed.
"Oii! Wake up!" Miyoung shakes all of them.
They stretched like a cat right after they woke up.
"You have 28 minutes before the class start." Miyoung informed and all of them jump off from the bed like a bull.
"We are going to our dorm first!" Haejung and Haneul run to their dorm together with Jihyun.
Miyoung shook her head and let out a soft chuckle.
She grabbed her towel and went into bathroom.
***
Miyoung and her friends ran to their classroom as if their life depended on it because they were five minutes late.
They went into the classroom and felt relief when the teacher wasn't in the classroom yet.
"Sleep late?" Jun asked to the five girls who were taking their seat behind him.
"Kind of." Miyoung replied casually.
"Good morning, sorry I'm late!" Mr Han, the Biology teacher greeted his students while putting his black bag and some thick books on the table.
"Morning sir!" All of them replied in unison.
"So, today, we going to learn about the organelles in the animal cell!" Mr Han said excitedly.
"One of the easiest chapter." Miyoung commented with a bored expression.
"Shut up, brainy girl!" Aeri teased.
After 2 hours, the bell finally rings indicated that it is the recess time.
"Where is your bracelet, Miyoung?" Haejung asked when she doesn't spotted the thin silver bracelet that Miyoung usually wear everyday, every time.
Miyoung's eyes widened in shock when she realised she lost her bracelet.
"Oh gosh! I think my bracelet slipped off from my wrist in the principal office!" Miyoung said in alarmed, slightly raising her voice.
"Shhh, everybody could hear you!" Haneul whispered as she covered Miyoung's mouth with her small hands.
The bracelet was a gift from her mother.
She can't lose it!
"I'll be back!" Miyoung get up and left.
She went to the Principal's office, praying that Mr Thomas was eating his lunch right now.
She peeked through the door and noticed that Mr Thomas is in the office together with Mr Yoo, the head of the security guard.
Miyoung immediately hide and eavesdropped the conversation by putting her ears on the door.
"I think someone broke into my office last night." Mr Thomas complained and Miyoung gulped nervously.
How did he know?!
"Why do you think so, sir?" Mr Yoo asked.
"I found a silver bracelet on the floor this morning and I'm sure this bookshelves move a little bit away from where it was." Mr Thomas explained and Miyoung grew restless.
"Oh my god, that old man has a pair of hawk eyes!" Miyoung gasped in low tone while hearing their conversation.
"I'll investigate about it, let me take the bracelet and I'll find out by myself." Mr Yoo offered while Mr Thomas in deep thoughts.
He twirled the bracelet between his fingers.
"It's okay. I think I know who broke into my office." Mr Thomas said and Miyoung's breathe hitched.
Then, something clicked on her mind.
"That's a beautiful bracelet, Miyoung." Mr Thomas complimented, pointing to her bracelet on her wrist.
Mr Thomas had seen her wearing the same bracelet for 5 years she was in the school.
Miyoung heard the sound of the doorknob twisted so she immediately ran away from the office.

"What's wrong with you, Miyoung?" Jihyun asked when Miyoung silently took a seat next to Aeri.
Miyoung turned paler by thinking what the punishment will be.
She may be the most stubborn student ever but she never received any punishment nor detention,
Not even once.
Mr Thomas may looked like the most kind old man but he may be a demon of punishment if he wanted to.
"Miyoung? What's wrong with you?" Minhyuk snapped his finger right in front of Miyoung's face but she didn't even move an inch.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Minhyuk slapped Miyoung's forehead lightly which brought her back to senses.
"H-huh?"
Her eyes locked with him.
He looks worried and concerned.
Although he acted like a brat, he still cared for her.
And no one can deny it.
"What's wrong?" Minhyuk asked in gentle voice, he touched her hands with his index finger.
"Nothing.. Really." Miyoung pushed his finger away from her.
"I'm not buying it." Minhyuk sighed yet he turned his attention to something else.
None of them asked about it because they knew Miyoung wasn't the girl who opened up easily.

When the class is over, Miyoung went to her locker to put her books inside it.
Suddenly, a thick, worn book fell down from her locker.
Miyoung cursed under her breath because she was shocked to death.
She put her hands on her chest while she try to stabilizes her breathing pattern.
Once she calms down, she take a look on the book.
Somehow, the book looked familiar.
Of course it looked familiar, it was the book she read last night at the basement.
"This must be Mr Thomas's work because he wants me to admit that I was the one who broke into his office." Miyoung said in low tone.
The book managed to creeps her out and she decided to throw the book inside the trash bin next to her locker.
***
Both Miyoung and Aeri were busy doing their Additional Mathematics homework although it was already passed 12 in the midnight.
"Gosh! Why do I always got the wrong answer!" Aeri ruffled her hair messily and bang her head on the table.
"Wait.. Do you have the formula text that Ms Jung gave?" Miyoung asked.
"I didn't write it my book.." Aeri answered, pouting.
"I'll go get for it in my locker." Miyoung said and she put on her black sweater.
"Be hurry!"
Miyoung ran out from her dorm to her locker with her slippers.
She unlocked her locker and the familiar old and worn out, leather book fell down from her locker again.
That book make Miyoung turned pale because she clearly remember that she threw the book into the trash bin earlier today.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned her head but nothing was there.
She could only think of Mr Thomas who was trying to trick her and make her fell into his trap.
"If you are joking around with me Mr Thomas, you should stop now. You are messing around with the wrong person." Miyoung said in warning tone, her voice echoes through the empty, dimly lit hallway.
She could felt cold breeze swirled around her as if it mocking her and she couldn't deny that it sent shivers up to her spine.
Miyoung pushed away the thoughts and try to keep calm.
"Stupid book." Miyoung muttered and she was about to throw the book in the trash bin again but someone grabbed her hand.
Her head snapped to her side and her eyes widened when she saw the person.
