"KIM Y/N!!" Professor Min stops in his tracks and glares at me... for the 3rd time today.
Everyone sifts their attention to me. Their faces twisted with annoyance but also with curiosity, wondering what I have done to get called out yet again.
"I- I'm sorry Professor." I quickly put away my unfinished origami and turn my attention to the whiteboard. Professor sighs, shaking his head and walking away to continue our lesson.
"UGH! Activating verbs again?! Didn't we already go over this lesson yesterday? " I roll my eyes, thinking to myself.
Lifting my head, I slowly glance at Professor Min who is now busy scribbling in his notebook, probably decorating my assignments with red X's and giving me another 47%. Seeing that he is busy, I peer out the window that gives a great view of our school field. The verdant grass never fails to amaze me of how green and well keep it is. Cheerleaders and coaches sprinkle the field in red and white.
"Oh, I wish I was one of them right now..." I sulk. I am sifting in my seat every 7 seconds.
My thoughts are interrupted when I feel something hit my back, tumbling down my back, landing on my seat. I glance at Yoona, the only close friend I have in this class, trying to ask her if she threw something at me. But Yoona was smiling at her phone with her AirPods in most likely scrolling through Tiktok. So instead, I turn around to notice the small crumpled piece of paper that landed innocently on my chair just like the classmates behind me who showed no expression.
"Well... might as well open it. " I thought to myself. I pick up the crumpled ball and unfold it only to find another piece of crumpled paper inside. I quickly unfold the second ball revealing... a half-sketched car...
"What kind of joke is this? " I thought to myself in disbelief. "Do people think this is funny... jeez, so lame.
My mood instantly lifted when the bell rang loud and clear, signalling the end of another period. I gathered all the items on my desk dumping them into my backpack and flew out the room. Almost literally. Just like a tipped drink, the contents inside rushed out freely. The classroom was empty within seconds.
"Y/N! Y/NNNN!! GUESS WHAT GIRL!?"
Hearing a female blaring out my name in the middle of the crowded hallway, I'm turning my head desperately trying to find who was calling me. I spot an arm frantically waving in the crowd. Rushing towards the arm, I almost flung myself on to the oh-so-familiar person hugging her. But my 7/20 vision focuses and realizes it's Dami... not who I was imagining. But Dami, the-friend-who-ditched-me-because-her-crush-had-eyes-on-me-and-apparently-it-was-my-fault-even-though-I-was-not-even-interested.
"Oh mY GAwD Y/N, I just got tickets for-" Dami proceeds to continue rambling. But I cut her off.
"Well Dami, it's nice that you got tickets. Whether it's a movie ticket, speeding ticket, lottery ticket, or even better, a plane ticket, but I. Don't. Care. Well, unless it's to accompany you to the airport for your departure but I doubt it is. Anyways, sorry but gotta toodles! Bye love, take care!" So with that, I go. I couldn't tell if Dami's jaw was open wider than Seokjin's shoulder. It's debatable.

The sun was bright and warm as I walked out of the school building. With my bag slung over one shoulder and car keys in one hand, I wonder if this is what it might feel like to be in university. The feeling of determination and confidence in life while excelling in school. I could not wait to get out of high school and finally be independent. High school felt too chaotic yet so boring. Perhaps like a knock-off version of university?
I reach my new car, a Mercedes S 63 Coupe, custom made to have a dark violet exterior. Hands down my most treasured gift that I bought for myself after turning seventeen. It's been a month or so but it's still looking new. I get in, piling my work and school materials on the passenger seat. Blasting "So What" and "Ddaeng" in the car is exactly what I need right now. So that's what I do making my way home.
