"YOU have got to be fucking kidding me," is the first thing that Eunyeon says, staring at the teacher at the front of the classroom, a look of pure disbelief flashed across her face. Seonhwa sends a jab to her best friend's ribs, but Eunyeon clearly doesn't seem to care, and in all honesty, it's not the first time that she's swore in the presence of a teacher, and it certainly won't be the last. In response, the teacher only sends her a disapproving look, as she's long since given up trying to scold the girl on her use of language.
"What she means to say," interrupts Seonhwa, sending he best friend a look that directly translates to shut up and let me do the talking, "is that we're confused about this – this trial thing."
"I mean, it sounds pretty self explanatory," says Yeji before she can stop herself.
"Why do we need to do this trial with them?" Minkyung demands, spitting the word them like it's the most disgusting thing she's ever heard in her life. Not that the boys at the Gangnam Institute are anything less than disgusting creatures. Minkyung would know that better than anyone.
"The school board has decided that it's time to put this silly rivalry behind us and is proposing the trial in an attempt to strengthen bonds between the schools. The nine of you have been selected to participate in the trial for a semester, along with nine students from the boys' Institute," says Mrs Lim, the poor teacher who was selected to break the news to them. She looks exhausted, and as the head girl, Seonhwa almost feels bad. Almost.
"And you think a semester long trial is going to magically end a decades old rivalry?" Sol quips, a singular, perfectly shaped eyebrow raised, turning her attention away from her manicured nails to glance at the teacher.
"We're rivals for a reason," Sohee adds.
"What's this rivalry even about?" asks Ahreum, glancing around the classroom, hoping someone will fill her in on the question she's been wondering since she first transferred. Ahreum is used to carefree public school students, not rich kid rivalries. She turns to look at Blodwyn, eyes wide, hoping that she'll finally get an answer. Blodwyn can only shrug at the girl. She might have attended the school just as long as the others, but even she has no idea where this rivalry actually stems from, just that it's a very prominent part of the school culture. She has yet to meet anyone who can (and will) actually tell her the full story behind it.
And seeing as her half brother is an asshole that attends the school, it's a rivalry that Ahreum has absolutely no problems getting behind.
"Doesn't matter what it's about," Eunyeon snaps from the front of the classroom. "They're all a bunch of dicks."
"Language, Eunyeon," scolds Mrs Lim, even though she knows it's useless and won't have any effect on the girl's rather extensive vocabulary of swearwords.
