she tied her blonde hair into a messy bun and threw on her favorite pair of jeans

went to starbucks to get a grande caramel frappe

all the other girls bully her because she's so clumsy and has a flat ass, what boy could ever like her? tee hee hee

all the other girls lowkey wanna be her because the popular cai xukun complimented her 🤩😆

one day she tripped over her own feet, what a clutz! but when she looked up, there he was helping gather her books

he walked her to class after that to make sure she was okay and when she got to the classroom his fanclub had ruined her desk

she sat down with a sigh, the ice in her frappe had melted. she took out her diary and started scribbling in it no longer paying attention to the teacher. without realizing, she had drawn a perfect portrait of Mr popular, cai xukun

from behind her, the fanclub leader ripped the page out of her diary and held it up; “awww a gift for me ♥️♥️♥️” before destroying it

she ran to the toilet and locked herself in and began to cry. Suddenly she heard the door open and there he was, Mr popular. he sat down next to her and asked what was wrong

“it feels like everyone is against me” she told him, teary eyed. he wiped a tear off her cheek and gave her his necklace

is this for me? she asked, voice shaky. yes dear he said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear

she fumbled with the chain around her neck and kun moved closer, clasping it in one smooth move

she looked up at him, eyes filled with confusion

“i have sisters” he said, cheeks flushed

"oh" she said, the edges of her lips curled into a slight smile

“well i’ll get going, i have practice for the upcoming international debate competition” he said, “its very important”

“Wait!” She said, disappointment flooding in her eyes, “will we see each other around?” She said, hopefulness evident in her voice

he laughed, the rosy blush climbing higher, “maybe you could come see me after practice”

She smiled subtly, “o-okay, of course” she uttered flabbergasted her cheeks turning red

— time skip —
keran waited by the practice room minutes early, scuffing her shoes against the floor nervously. but when she looked in; kun had his arms wrapped around lisa, another prestigious debate member

Tears filled her eyes, how could she be so stupid? Lisa was the prettiest most popular girl at school, how mr popular ever like a girl like her?

suddenly the door burst open revealing linfan, keran’s best friend since childhood “keke? why are you crying?” she asked

They sat down by the lockers, “Kun lied to me, he tricked me” she choked out through her sobs

linfan pulled her into a warm hug, but to keran something felt different. wiping away her tears, she pulled back “linfan? are you alright? if you have anything that you need to tell me im right here”

Linfan looked at Keran with an unreasable expression, suddenly linfan held her chin and peered into her deep orbs

“i... i thought i was gonna be okay if i never told you. or hid it” she said, her lip quivering. keran looked back, confused “tell me what?”
