My Mortal Enemy #143

Chapter 19: The List

DARA'S POV

I can't sleep! Why can't i sleep?! I've been rolling in my bed, changing positions for who knows how long but still, sleep can't find its way to visit me. I can't imagine how big my eye-bags will be tomorrow... i mean later. Argh! I wonder if Jiyong is already sleeping by now. Is he okay? Different scenarios came crashing in my head as i remembered the look in his eyes. Its the first time i saw him cried. I don't know if i was the main reason why or if there's something else but i can tell how sad he was. Why would he cry over  something like me getting closer to his friends? I'm not stealing them away from him if that's what he's concerned about. Even if he always bullies me and embarrass me in front of other people, i still don't want him hurting like this. My promise to his father was one thing, but seeing him genuinely happy is another. Its my own personal wish since we were kids, to see him smile.

My train of thoughts was put to a halt when i heard my alarm resonated around the room. Great! Its already morning and i didn't get even a wink of sleep. Damn it!

I dragged my feet literally as i head towards my locker to get my stuff. I still don't have enough energy even if i drank two cups of coffee this morning. I feel down and the looks that the other students are currently giving me is not helping. I know i look like a mess but why are they all staring at me like i'm some kind of alien who just landed their planet?

I reached my locker and because i already learned my lesson, in a hard way mind you, i've been very cautious every time i open my locker. Who knows what surprise is waiting for me? I slowly pulled the door, peeking if there's a trap planted inside, but thankfully there's none. I think Jiyong already grew tired of pulling tricks on me using my locker. I sighed heavily as i remembered him again. He didn't ride the car with me this morning. Mr. Yoon told me that he took off using his other car to go to school. He's really avoiding me and i hate to admit, i like the annoying Jiyong better than the one who's giving me the cold shoulder. Aisht!

After getting what i need for today's class, i started heading towards my classroom which is located at the other side of the building. The stares were getting worst every step i took until i reached the hall where the bulletin boards are stationed. I saw plenty of students were huddled in front of it that was very unusual. Curious as i was, i walked over to see what's causing the commotion.

'Mr. and Ms. Congeniality'

Oh, so they finally decided the theme for the Foundation day pageant. I scanned the poster more and saw that the the list of contestants who registered for it were already posted. My eyes sparkled when i saw the name of my prince charming included on the male category. Oh my gosh! I didn't know that Jaejoong is into this stuff? My heart bounced upon knowing this side of him and mentally note it to myself. I'll definitely watch him.

My eyes scanned further more and read who registered for the female category.
If they will be partnered with my prince then i should know right? Now let's see...
Kim Taeyeon - wow, i'm not surprised she joined because she always does. Unfortunately for her, she never wins.
Jung Krystal - arghh, so the b*tch decided to join again this year. I still remembered what you did to me last year. So not cool!
Hwang Tiffany - woah! Another b*tch i see.. the two joined forces to spread darkness into this school.
Choi Sulli - Sulli? I hope she's not the same Two-faced Sulli i saw at the restaurant last night. Batman will raise hell if its her.
Park Sandara - wait what??? I read the name of the last person listed on the poster. There must be something wrong with my eyes!!! I read it ten more times and it really is my name!! What the hell is my name doing in that poster!!!
