Walking down the hallways of my disgusting high school, I come face to face with the locker I've been using for almost 4 years. This is the start of my senior year and I'm very much excited to leave this school—this hell hole. It's never been easy being a nerd after all, having to get used to the slushies and the bullying, but now I can say to all those popular kids who torture us nerds out there that they can bring whatever cold ice slushy they got because after graduating, its going to be us throwing money at their faces.

"Hey Manoban!"

Scrunching my eyebrows as I turn around on the heel of my foot, I swivel to face the opposite direction of my locker and all about lose my breath as I see the football star, Park Sung-jin, walking towards me with a smirk on his face and a rusty bucket of slushy.

I gasp as I try to make a run for it but it seems like I'm outnumbered because there's a guy who's surprisingly behind me and holds my arms steady—keeping me in place. While the others just watch me like a hawk. What am I? A mouse?

"Where do you think your running off to, Manoban?" chuckles Sungjin as he stops just in front of me, his smirk only getting wider. "Don't think its over yet—you're still in high school."

Biting my lower lip, I close my eyes to avoid what could be a burning syrup attack when all of a sudden the guy holding me in place pokes my rib and I jerk my eyes open to squirm in pain but of course—what more pain can there be when Sungjin throws a bucket of slushy at my face?

Ugh.

"Welcome back Manoban!" shouts Sungjin as he and his minions laugh and high-five each other while walking to the other side of the corridor, talking endlessly about how great it feels to drench my eyes with cold-ice liquid.

I groan, not bothering to move for a while because it really hurts when I feel a hand touch my shoulder. Taking a peek, I half-smile as my best friend, Jisoo, frowns at me then glares at the direction where the footballers went.

"Hey Jisoo." I coughed, wiping my face which actually didn't help much.

She turns to me and smiles sympathetically. "Hey , sorry I didn't make it on time. Jennie was on the phone."

Jisoo is also on the football team—she's actually a bigger star than Sungjin but she doesn't act like Sungjin. No, Jisoo is the football team captain because she moves like a ninja and everyone respects her but since Sungjin is co-captain, he still has the power to do whatever he wants as long as Jisoo isn't around. It's like some kind of rule.

Either way, I'm lucky to have Jisoo.

"It's okay, its my 'last first day of school slushy' for the rest of my life, I might as well enjoy it." I joked, flicking the cubes of colored ice away from my sweater—which is now a shade of red. "Ugh, I should've worn a different sweater."

Jisoo chuckles, and pulls my arm to the ladies bathroom, pushing the doors open as we walk in to see girls blush at us.

"Jisoo, this is the girl's bathroom." I mumbled, blushing as girls smirked at us before running out to give us some privacy.

Shrugging her shoulders, she tugs my sweater up, motioning for me to remove it. I stare at her in disbelief and blushed.

"Jisoo, no." I said, tugging it back down. "What if somebody sees us?" She rolls her eyes and laughs. "I'm just helping Lis, think what they want to think."

I frown at her while tugging my sweater down again. "It doesn't work that way in this school."

"It does in my book, come on... you might catch a fever." She replies, tugging it all the way up, only stopping at my neck. It was a good thing I was wearing a tank top inside.
