COMPETITOR

Chapter 12

Author's POV:

"Very well done girls. Next!"

All the students who wanted to participate in the competition were in the auditorium. The music and dance teachers checking the songs and choreography that the students prepared for the first 2 rounds of the competition.

"That was amazing. Keep up with the good work, kids!"

"Alright, Next"

"Well done. It seems to suit your group. Now next-"

"Hold on a minute ma'am."

And there she is, the school's great so-called Queenka (or whatever she calls herself) entering the auditorium with her minions.

Kim Areum

"Kim Areum, what kind of behaviour is this?" - dance teacher

"Sorry if it 'disturbed' you ma'am but I would like to participate in the competition." - Areum

"That's good. But have you and your friends submitted the form? We don't think so as we haven't seen yours anywhere." - dance teacher

Areum's eyes widened a bit. She turned around to face her minions and whispered, "Don't tell me you didn't fill up and submit the form!"

"W-we had to fill up forms?..."

"Seriously Hana?! Ugh, Areum-shii, why don't you just take one and we can fill it up now."

Areum turns to face the teachers, "we would like to fill up the forms now."

"We're sorry. But the deadline for submitting the forms is over." - music teacher

"THIS IS UNFAIR! We deserve a chance too!" - Areum

"Calm down, miss Kim. Alright, if you want, you may go up on stage and perform. Then we'll decide whether you can participate or not" - dance teacher

"Pfft, you'll decide whether I get to participate or not?" - Areum

"Either you perform now or you may leave, miss Kim" - dance teacher

"Whatever. C'mon girls." - Areum

With that, the three of them went up on stage and performed......

One..

Of..

The..

Worst..

Song,

And choreography..

To ever

Exist.

Their music teacher looked away in embarrassment from seeing their performance.

While the dance teacher was fuming in silent anger.

"So? We're definitely in, aren't we?" - Areum

"We're sorry, Kim Areum. But your theme of the song neither seems to match your band theme nor it is proper for the competition." - dance teacher

"What do you mean it isn't proper?!?!? It was written in the list that love theme is acceptable!" - Areum *shouts*

"Lower your voice, Areum. Yes, love theme is acceptable. But not adult kind of love, I hope you understand what I mean." - Dance teacher

"THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! You're just being unfair to me!!" - Areum

"Get out" - music teacher

"What?!" - Areum

"I know I didn't say anything till now but Miss Kim Areum, get out of here RIGHT NOW before I talk to the principal about your misbehaviour to the teachers" - Music teacher

"You'll all regret it someday"

Saying that, she stormed off the auditorium.

Sooah's POV:

I was passing by the auditorium, towards the library to get some chemistry books I needed for the homework.

And ofc, God made me bump into another person I hate.

Kim Areum

"Yah! Don't you have eyes? Can't you see where you're going, nerd?" - Areum

"First of all, you stormed out of there suddenly. Secondly, I'm not a nerd. And even if I am one in your eyes, that just means I'm better than you. So thank you and goodbye. Hope not to see your face again." - Sooah

I walked past her but mumbled something loud enough for her hear, "at least I don't get kicked out by the teachers."

Areum's POV:

What does that bitch think of herself?! Her? Better than ME? Hah, what a joke.

You'll see, Min Sooah. You said you don't get kicked out, huh? I'll be the one to make sure you embarrass everyone including yourself so much that you get kicked out in the worst way possible.

And that's a challenge.
