"Home sweet home"Ava said as she dropped her bag and slumped on the couch."Am so tired and famished"She stood up and went into the kitchen to get some fruits,slice them and start chewing

But wait,where is everyone?

*************""****

At my former school I missed a lot of opportunities coz we couldn't afford the pay..

Flashback....

Ava,the hr teacher is asking for you"A Student hinted me

Okay, thanks'I thanked her and headed to the Teachers room

What do you mean by it won't be funded, Wasn't the The company covering all the cost"I heard I had the best talent among all, wasn't that enough to receive the benefits"I asked him feeling confused

Well there was this international Contest going on,and it was being Funded by SBC NEWS For student for has the Talent or skills to become a Newscaster

I was picked as the best student among all

Of course you have the best Score, but it turns out that there's someone more fortunate than you financially and your spot was given to her first"The teacher said

What?I Asked not getting what he was saying well

I'm aware of your situation,but the other students has a good connection inside and outside the country and she also have a wealthy parents too..."He continues

What does that have to do with me"There being someone who's More fortunate than I am,it doesn't make my matter any better"I said expressionlessly

Right,it doesn't,"but am not saying that there isn't any option for you," You will have to to pay 3500$ dollars," Can your parents afford that?"He asked pretending not to know about my family's situation ...

I lost that slot and opportunity to move my life higher,and there was this adage that says opportunity comes but once

I hope that Adage doesn't work on me .......

The alarm keeps beeping

Oh,stop the noise,you jerk"ava murmur in her sleep

Ava,are you going to be late on your first day"Her mom shouted from the door

One more minute please"

Do you know what the time says?,it 6:30am already

Six what"she jumped up from bed and rushed into the bathroom

She was done after some minutes

In the dinning room

"Have some kimchi ? Ms George put some into jacks mouth

Thanks mom" He chew on it gently

Ava rushed out and was about to leave when her mom called her back

Ava,come taste some kimchi"

Mom am late already,I need to catch the bus

Bye mom and dad,"she rushed out.

As she reached the bus station she almost miss the bus but fortunately she was able to meet up

She entered the bus and catch her breathe

The bus stopped at Joongdong High School.She stood at the front of the gate and admire the school

Joongdong High School is a private school founded in 1906, located in irwon-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul , south Korea

Ava came back to her senses when she realized that she was already late. She kept running and barge into a student carrying a lot of notes and it falls and scattered

Hey,are you blind?"She asked and kept on running without waiting for him to reply

Urgh,What a rude girl"

Baek ji-hyun packed the books and left

In the Staffroom

"Good morning sir ", My name is Ava George,am the new student you are expecting"Ava introduced herself to her homeroom teacher

"Oh,but why are you late?

Sorry sir,I had some issues on my way here," She lied and pray in her mind so that the teacher will not ask her more questions

Okay, follow me"

Thank God"Ava jubilated

******

Good morning everyone, listen attentively,we have a new student in our midst, Introduce yourself "he gestured her

Hi,am Ava George... I hope we get along

There was silence but was broken by the teacher words

Won't you respond to her greetings,where are your manners"

They all groan as they clapped and welcomed her

See me during lunch Ava,am leaving "he was about to leave and turns back

And no dating in class,okay?"he said

Ooohhh"!!the whole class murmurs

Ava found a place to sit and settled down

The girl at her front turns and greeted her

Hi,am Yu min JAE"Can we be friends?

She seems cheerful and ava thought it would be nice to be her friend

Oh,I don't mind"Ava smiled

"I have the most updated note in the class,if you need anything let me know"

Stop lying,we all know you always have the lowest rank in class"San,the lousy and cheerful boy in class interrupted

Minjae point her pen and gritted her teeth,

Do you need a beating?"she smiles wickedly and chase the San out of the class

Oh,what a show.."she thought to herself

*****"

It was lunch time and Ava was with the homeroom teacher

I asked the class president to take you on a tour,so you won't get lost

Thanks sir

The class president came in and greeted Mr Shin the homeroom teacher

Oohh,you are here, please take our new student a tour around the school"he pleaded

Alright sir"Baek ji-hyun said politely

He raised his face and was surprised to see the girl that barged into him in the morning

YOU?!

WHAT!"Ava said disappointed....

Do you know each other?Me shin asked

No"they both chorused and was supprised

Okay,if that's the case,you can leave"

Alright sir"they left and walk quietly around the school

This is the School Lab,this is the school Sport field

They left and went to another place

This is the school studio and....."he stopped for awhile and stares at her

Don't you think you owe me an apology?

Apology?Really?"Acting like she doesn't understand what's he was saying

Yes,you barged into me this morning instead of saying sorry,you cursed me...do you remember?"He asked waiting for her to respond

Oohh that?,Sorry about it.i was rushing and didn't see you coming..so sorry"She apologize without Caring if he has forgiven her or not

But I don't want that kind of apology,am not a simple guy you know "He started moving away

Ava rushed behind him and ask"So what kind of apology do you want?"

Something interesting,not those random sorry,"He said smiling

I don't understand what you are talking about

..Uhmmm,let me

Am a very busy guy,I don't really have the time to get things myself doing lunch coz I do study at that time,sooo,If you don't mind.. Can you run errands for me for a week or Two?

Haaaaaa,"she laughs You are kidding right"she stops laughing when she sees that Baek ji-hyun was not joking

You don't mean it right?

You know I can't do that for you,I didn't come to school to become an errand girl,I came here to study"She replied rudely

I am not forcing you to do it,but if student start avoiding because of what I said to them,then it wasn't my fault any longer"He countinues

What do you mean by that?she runs after him

Uhmm,what if I say,you barged into me on your first day at school and called me blind?You know,first Impression first"He grins And rumors spread wide in School

Ooohhh, okay I will do it,Just one week

Really,okay"he smiles and left

Shit,That Jerk

*******

In class,Ava was staring Outside looking the window at the beautiful flowers blooming outside the school compound

When she heard someone called her name

Ava, let's go to the school cafeteria and get lunch, don't worry it on me"Min jae said showing her the money she has

Ava smiles and nods her head"Okay"

When she was about to leave Baek ji-hyun blocked her way

Can I see you for a Second?"he asked politely

Woooww, Unbelievable",Yu min JAE was surprised coz Baek ji-hyun doesn't talk to girls despite their willing to talk to him

I will leave you two to talk"She whispered to Ava"You can do this, fighting"She smiles and left

What do you want"she asked fuming

Have you forgotten our deal?,it lunch time already and you should get me something from the cafeteria"He said leaning on the wall

Okay, what do you want?

Uhmmm,I just thought about it now,what if i don't to eat the school's food....

Don't tell me......."Ava snapped in

Yess, exactly what you are thinking

"He grins

You must be joking,you mean I should go outside the school premises and get you food which is impossible

Nothing is Impossible you know

Are you high on drugs?

Am just kidding...,just get me something from the school cafeteria and you are paying"He smiles and left

What does he take me for?A rich brat?Does he thinks I have nothing to use my money for?"She kept on murmuring till she got to the school cafeteria

Hey, Ava"Min jae called her..come sit here

Thanks girl"She said as she took her seat

Babe, what does he says?Did he ask you to go out with him?"Min JAE asked

Why would he?Ava asked confused

Then what did he say?

He was only asking me for a favour, which I already did"Ava replied

Uhmmm,You know Baek ji-hyun is our Idol in this school,the most handsome and intelligent Student of Joongdong High School,he is always at the top

But he doesn't associates with girls, people even thinks he is a gay,coz he only hang out with his friend Gu won. "MIN JAE talks while sipping her coffee

His friend?I thought he was always alone"ava thought

No,Gu won is on Sick leave"

Oohhh, that's it

Yes, anyways,if you are done let's go back to class"Min JAE stood up and dropped her can inside the dustbin

Am also done,we can leave now"Ava did the same and they left for class

Ava's POV

On our way to class,I noticed some girls coming majestically and students were making path for them,I wonder who they was

Who are those people?"I asked min JAE

She said quietly,they are the school bullies,pray not to get on their bad side"

Why are you guys fearing them,"can't they be reported"?

It won't change anything coz they are from wealthy homes and have a high level of connection whi ch means they would be overlooked,and it would cause a lot of trouble for those who reported them"Min JAE answered

I was puzzled"What about the school authorities?" I asked her

There parents are part of the school's disciplinary Committee and they provides school amenities like changing the school gate, providing a new bus and all that", So the school Hands are tied"Min JAE responded

If you don't have any problem with them,trust me babe,you will enjoy your school life

But what if I have," I asked her

Then that's hell, they will make here and outside a living hell for you, even the school authorities won't save you "Min JAE answered my questions

But this is bad,it shouldn't be done this way"I said to her

Shhhhs,keep quiet they might hear you"min JAE said as the girls were approaching to their side...Min JAE dragged ava from their way and they passed without causing trouble

Thank Goodness"Min JAE sighs in relief

We can go to class now..
