Secrets

Chapter 2: Don't mess with me

When Jung entered the class, it seemed like the entire class huddled at one desk. He went ahead to see what it was about and saw the new kid, Cha Hwa Sung sitting listening to music.

What's wrong with that?

Then he noticed Nam Young and her squad glaring at her. Then it clicked,

Hwa Sung was sitting at Nam Young's seat.

Hwa Sung was oblivious to the attention she received. She looked so innocent and cute.

Wait, what?, He quickly shook his head.

The song, Uptown Funk, had just finished playing. Everyone would probably wonder, did she, a Korean, like American songs more than Kpop?

Well, apart from staying there for a year or two, I do like American pop music, though not as much as Kpop. Plus, I hate stereotypes, Hwa Sung thought.

She looked up to see about 35 pairs of eyes staring back at her.

" Why are you all looking at me for?", she looked around, hoping she didn't do anything wrong.

Why are they looking at me like I've grown two heads?

" You're sitting at my seat"

" Can't see your name written on it". At this, the class laughed.

" How dare you........".

Nam Young was practically boiling.

" What are you gonna do about it?", she asked.

Cute and feisty, Jung thought.

Nam Young reached out to slap Hwa Sung and Jung had the sudden urge to protect her. It took almost all of his willpower to not help her.

What's happening to me? , Il Jung thought.

Luckily, Hwa Sung grabbed Nam Young's hand before it could reach her face.

"Listen, you don't want to do this", she said, throwing Nam Young's hand down. Nam Young, being her persistent self, tried to punch Hwa Sung, but she cleverly swayed to a side, as if she saw it coming and quickly held Nam Young's hand before she fell down. Nam Young turned around and headed to grab Hwa Sung's hair, but Hwa Sung quickly swerved her hand away.

Why can't she leave me alone? , Hwa Sung thought as she slapped Nam Young, hard. Jung personally thought Nam Young deserved it after bullying so many people. When Jung looked at Hwa Sung, her face had darkened as she said those four words that shook everybody to the core," Don't mess with me".

Her face went back to normal and she sat back quietly as if nothing happened. He turned towards Nam Young who was glaring at Hwa Sung. He sat down and recalled vaguely those creepy words which sent a shiver down his spine, "Don't mess with me".
