High School Sweet Hearts (Ryeji)

Chapter 17

"Heyyy." Minju dragged out, trying to sound as calm as possible, but her voice was raised two octaves by how terrified she really was.

The blonde headed cheerleader crossed her arms and walked closer to her. Jisu looked her up and down before giving her an irritated expression. "Are you gonna move your ass to the side today or not?" She spat out and Minju squeaked. 

"S-Sorry." She stuttered and jumped out of the way. Jisu said nothing else and entered the restroom.

Yeji and Minju both sighed in relief as she left. "I thought she fucking heard us." Minju whisper yelled and Yeji nodded in agreement. "Thanks to the lord above, she didn't." Yeji did a quick prayer thanking God. 

"Alright, Imma head off to my dead frog now. I have to cut Kermit open." Yeji said and adjusted her glasses. Minju gave her a weird look. "Do you really have to name every animal you dissect? And why Kermit?" 

Yeji ignored her best friend and made her way to the lab.

"Wrong."

"Arghh." Ryujin groaned and ruffled up her hair, frustrated that she couldn't get the answer right. She put her head down on the table, defeated.

Yeji chuckled at her behavior and patted her head. "Don't be frustrated, you're still improving quite a bit." She reassured her. Ryujin frowned, lifting her face so she could look at Yeji.

"You're only saying this because you like me." The silver haired woman said with a pout. Yeji averted her gaze and lowered her face so she could hide the blush that surrounded her cheeks. "T-That's not true." "Lies." She thought in her head.

"Your test is tomorrow and we still need to go through the rest of the play." The brunette reminded her, scooting closer to Ryujin and picking up the book. "And don't forget, my offer still stands." At this, Ryujin perked up.

"So if I pass you'll do anything I say?" She asked, rather excited. Yeji looked at her suspiciously but nodded in agreement. "Yes, but don't make me regret it." She said more to herself.

Chaeryeong yawned and stretched, feeling exhausted from spending her whole night playing a new video game she had bought.

Rubbing her eyes, she became startled when a sudden figure appeared before her.

"Minju! Don't scare me like that!" She scolded. Minju smiled apologetically. "I'm so sorry, but I have to talk to you about something important." She said quietly, looking around as she did. 

Chaeryeong scrunched her face in confusion. "What is it?" Minju looked around one more time before pulling her off to the corner of the school.

It was way after classes and Chaeryeong was waiting for her sister Chaeyeon to come pick her up before she got dragged away by Minju.

"She knows! They know!" Minju exclaimed and flailed her arms about. Chaeryeong looked at her weirdly. "Girl, what are you on?" She asked and received a smack on her arm. "I'm not on anything. I'm talking about Choi Jisu and her two musketeers." 

The older girl became interested hearing Jisu's name, but she made sure not to show any emotion. "What did they hear?"

At that, Minju went on explaining what Jisu had said to Ryujin earlier in the day.

Chaeryeong rose her brow at that. "It doesn't seem to me that she even knows that I was hanging out with you. And if she knew, what's the big deal anyways?" She shrugged. Minju's eyes almost bulged out of her sockets when she heard that.
