Chapter 2 The New Student

The 'S' stars were still walking together as they kept on talking about Ha Jun. None of them noticed the guy coming opposite them, and the guy also didn't notice them. He was busy operating his phone. The moment he looked up, he has already walked into Sophie, and they collided into each other. His phone nearly fell off his hand.

He stood straight and walked past them without saying a word as he kept on operating his phone.

"Look at this fool. I nearly fall because of him, yet he didn't apologize." Sophie said as she turned to look at him.

"He needs to be punished." Samantha said and tried to go after him, but Stella stopped her.

"It's okay. Let him be. We don't have to show our bad side always." Stella said and Selena nodded.

"You're right tho. Let's go." Samantha said, and they continued walking.

The guy was still walking with his eyes glued to his phone when a girl stopped right in front of him.

He raised his head, and when he realized that it's a girl, he walked past her.

"Hey hey! Hold on cutie." The girl said as she rushed after him and stood before him.

The guy sighed, and put the phone in his pocket.

"Do you know where the staff office is??" He asked, and the girl nodded in smile.

"I'll take you there. Follow me." She said, and turned to go.

"You don't have to take me there." The guy said, which made the girl to stop and turned back to face him.

"Huh??"

"Just tell me where it's located. I'll find my way there." The guy said, and the girl nodded slowly.

"Okay... it's just the fourth to last room in this building." The girl said, and the guy walked away without saying a word more.

"Uph! Such an arrogant freak!... He's cute anyways." The girl muttered as she watched him walking away.

The guy got to the staff office, and knocked on the door.

"You can come in. The door is not locked." A feminine voice said from within, and the guy turned the doorknob and entered.

A woman in her early thirties was working on a file.

"Kang Christine, right??" She asked, without raising her head to look at him.

The guy wondered how she knew it's him without looking at him.

"Yes ma'am." He replied.

"Okay. Your room key is over there. Take it and go check out the room. I'll call for you when I'm done here." She said, as she pointed to a key which was on the table next to her.

"Alright. Thank you ma'am." Christine said and took the key.

"I'm Mrs Oh Se-young." The woman said as Christine turned to leave.

"Oh... okay Mrs Oh, I'll take my leave now." Christine said, and bowed slightly before walking out of the office

'I hope I don't have a roommate.' Christine said in mind as he walked towards his room.

On getting there, he met the door locked, which gave him the assurance that he has no roommate. He smiled and inserted the key into the keyhole, he turned it to the left and the door opened, then he entered and locked the door behind.

"Wow! So beautiful and spacious!" He muttered as he looked round.

His eyes suddenly went to the double wardrobe at one side of the room. It was now that he noticed the two beds.

"What the hëck?! Am I getting a roommate??" He asked himself as he stared continuously at the beds.

The bathroom door suddenly opened and a cute guy walked out with a towel tied round his waist, and another one round his neck which he's using to wipe his face.

Christine stood at a spot with his mouth agape as he watched the guy wiping off water from his face.

The guy seemed not to notice him yet, as he turned to the mirror and picked up his body cream. He was about to apply it on his body when he saw Christine's reflection from the mirror.

He turned swiftly, and stared at him from head to tie

"You must be a half-caste." He said, and Christine's eyes widened as he was really surprised at how the guy got to know about him.

"How did you know??" He asked, and the guy chuckled.

"Your face said it all. You don't look much like a korean." The guy said, and started applying the cream on his body.

"You're right. I'm a half Korean, half New zealand." Christine said while dropping his bag on the floor.

"So what's your name??" He asked the guy as he sat down on one of the beds.

"That's my bed you're sitting on. The second one is yours." The guy said, totally ignoring Christine's question.

"Oh! Sorry. But it looks new." Christine said as he stood up and sat on the second one.

"That's because I hardly sleep here." The guy said while dressing up.

"Why?" Christine asked, and the guy looked at him.

"Why??..." He asked back, and sighed heavily.

"I hate this school. I hate every fvcking bit of it. That's why I don't waste my time passing the nights here." He explained, and Christine nodded his head.

"Where else do you sleep then??" He asked, and the guy smiled.

"My dad owns a hotel, so I pay the manager every weekend to sleep there anytime I want... My dad doesn't know about it tho." He replied.

"I guess we're the same." Christine said, and the guy looked at him.

"Why did you say that??" He asked, and Christine chuckled.

"I also dislike this school." He replied.

"Wae?? (Why??)" The guy asked, and Christine sighed heavily.

"It's not like I really hate it that much, but because I got transferred against my will is what made me hate it. I don't like being here."

"Why were you transferred?? Was your result bad??" The guy asked, and Christine shook his head as he gave out a silent laugh.

"Bad?? I'm the school genius." He said boastfully, and the guy scoffed.

"Not here that The 'S' stars are topping the school." He said.

"The 'S' stars??" Christine asked, and the guy smiled.

"You'll get to know them soon... one of them is the reason why I chose to stay in this school. No matter how much I hate being here, I'll never transfer to any other school." The guy said, and Christine raised a brow.

"Why?? If I get a chance to leave, I'll surely leave." Christine said, and the guy chuckled.

"Like I said, one of the girls is my reason for staying. If I don't see her for a day, I won't be okay." He said back, and Christine smiled sheepishly.

"Your girlfriend??" He asked.

"Not really... we're not dating yet. I don't think she knows about my feelings for her." The guy replied.

"Then tell her. Let her know now before you lose her to someone else." Christine said, and the guy nodded.

"It's not easy tho... so tell me, do you have a girlfriend??" He suddenly asked Christine, whose face turned sour.

"I have... but we're broken apart." He replied sadly.

"Why?? What do you mean by you're broken apart??" The guy asked, and Christine sighed heavily.

"I guess her phone has been seized from her because I can't get across to her anymore." He replied sadly.

"Have you gone to her house to see her after that??" The guy asked, and he shook his head.

"She's no more in Korea." Christine replied, and the guy sighed.

"That's bad. I can't bear all that... anyways, what's your name??" The guy asked.

"Kang Christine."

"Oh! KCee for short." The guy said, and Christine nodded in smile.

"Yeah. KCee or Chris."

"No. I prefer KCee." The guy said, and Christine smiled.

"You haven't tell me yours." He said.

"Oh! Sorry. I'm Cha Yeon... nice meeting you." The guy said, and they both bursted out laughing.

"Same here... guess you're going somewhere." Christine said, and Yeon nodded.

"Just wanna buy something outside the school. I have a lecture to attend in an hour time, so I need to go now." He replied, and Christine stood up.

"Let's go together. At least, to check out the area." Christine said, and Yeon took his perfume spray.

"Okay. A minute please." Yeon said, and sprayed the perfume on his body. He returned the spray back in the drawer, and took his phone.

"Alright. Let's go." He said, and they both walked out of the room.

Yeon locked the door, and they started heading towards the school gate.

"Which course are you studying??" Christine asked.

"Business Administration." Yeon replied.

"Wow! Good."

"What about you??" Yeon asked as he looked at Christine.

"Mass Communication." Christine replied.

"Woah! Future news reporter." Yeon said with a smile.

"Soon-to-be businessman." Christine said back, and they both bursted out laughing.

"Kang Christine!" Mrs Oh called as he sighted them from afar.

Christine looked ahead and saw her standing by a pole.

"Come here." She ordered.

"See you later Yeon, gotta go now." Christine said, and jogged off.

"Why is she calling him??" Yeon asked himself as he watched Christine jogging towards Mrs Oh.

"Anyways, that's her problem." He muttered, and continued walking towards the school gate.
