I'm not afraid of you

Upon entering the classroom we were quickly seated. Haneul and me, we were next door while In-soo and Yon-shi were together and Min-seo and Min-soo were also together. The class was gradually starting to fill up, there were no latecomers since the teacher was not there yet.

The morning went by far too quickly. But hey with everything that happened in the morning that doesn't surprise me too much. Waits ! It's me dreaming or Aaron is at the same row as mine!?! I thought a little stressed and excited

- Do you sound a little anxious? Asked worried Haneul

- Huh ?! Uh, yes yes that's okay don't worry I answered him as quickly as possible a little embarrassing

Why am I getting all messed up. It's true that this is my mission target but I don't have to stress and get excited like that. Okay, he's beautiful, we're not going to lie to each other, I have to get a grip on myself. He has a fiancé! I thought giving myself a mental slap

- Are you stressed by the exam that is coming soon? Haneul suddenly asked me

- Huh? Which exam ? Asked Ruby lost

- You forgot ?! The Mid-Fall Practice Exam. Haneul told him, frowning

- Yes I think I forgot said Ruby sheepishly

- I guess you should know that at the end of the year we will take a test which will be decisive for our future. And to prepare for this rather difficult exam we are going to take a practice exam. And this mid-fall practice exam is coming up very soon. Haneul patiently explained to him in a soft voice.

Why did I have no recollection of this so-called exam. I feel like the more the days go by, the more I realize that I'm missing bits of memories. It's really weird.

Well, it's okay I'll ask Mady2 (my system) I thought thoughtfully

- But you started studying, asked Ruby

- A little but not much answered Haneul

- I didn't study at all, worried Ruby

- If you want to study together with all the girls, Haneul comforted her

- Frankly, you save my life Haneul! A thousand thanks, says Ruby happily

- You're welcome, like that at the same time we will spend time together, said Haneul smiling at him

- We should give ourselves a date said Ruby thinking about it

- But you really know a lot of things said Ruby with admiration

- Not really, with time we accumulate knowledge answered Haneul with a shy mini smile

- Hold on girls, these are the corrections for the exams in mid December, clarified Mei Lan

I didn't even notice her sitting down right next to us. She was really quick to hand out the sheets knowing that she started handing out the back of the class. I thought I was a little surprised

- Thank you they said to him at the same time Haneul and Ruby

- You're welcome, she answered them quickly while continuing to distribute the sheets to the other students.

This exam was on 7 subjects, each of these subjects was marked out of 100 which made a total of 700. My mark was a little average but it exceeded half of 700.

- How much did you get asked Ruby curiously of Haneul

- I got 645 and you? She asked him

- I got a pretty blah note. I got 460 out of 700 Ruby told him

- No, it's okay, the main thing is that you have passed half of 700 which is 360, Haneul comforted her

- Mmh, anyway you will help me with the revisions so I don't have to worry about it, Ruby pouted, puffing up her cheeks like a cute hamster

Haneul in front of this sulky face burst out laughing not too hard for fear that the teacher would notice them. Faced with his good humor Ruby also joined his giggles and began to laugh too.

- Don't worry, we'll study together for the exams so I will have plenty of time to help you, added Haneul, smiling

After the copies had indeed all been distributed the teacher clapped several of his hands so that the students focused on him.

- Okay today I'm not really going to court you. We will instead focus on correcting your exams. For those who did not do very well, you will be able to review your shortcomings and understand why and where you went wrong in certain question, their teacher told them with a stern face

- Well we will start by making the groups continued the teacher

The teacher took over twenty minutes to make the groups. He was doing mixed groups, that is, he was mixing smart people with people with difficulty. This would allow people with less education to benefit from it.

I really hope he puts me with the girls I've befriended because the people in my class never really talked to them. I thought a little nervous

- Good since you are 29 we will divide the class into 6 small groups of 4 and the last group as you are odd will be a group of 5 students. Said the teacher

The teacher had to assign the groups. It had taken between 20 and 25 minutes. Unfortunately I didn't know anyone from my group. As I got up to move to the back of the class. Because a certain person I quote, had said: "if we get behind, we will concentrate better". Which of course was nonsense.

As I reached the middle of the class, a rather arrogant girl in my group walked past me and shoved me violently. His face at that moment was a strange mixture of open hatred, disdain and sordid glee.

It all happened way too fast. My face froze and then very quickly turned pale, probably from fear. I tried awkwardly as quickly as I could to grab a table so I wouldn't fall. Which fortunately I managed to do but in return with a lot of noise. Suddenly all eyes were on us, maybe they were trying to find out what was causing the noise?

The teacher seeing that something was wrong took me and her outside and closed the classroom door behind him.

- Rei Lan, what are you doing? The angry teacher yelled at him

Ah, her name is Rei Lan then. Well now is not really the time to think about that I should rather focus on the situation I thought jaded and tired

She looked the professor in the eyes without deigning to answer him.

- Rei Lan, if you pushed your classmate you quickly apologize to her added the teacher even more angry at his lack of reaction

- Hmpf, do you have any evidence that I pushed him. And even if I had never done it I will not apologize to her she replied

- I can give you a second chance to apologize but not a third, repeated the still angry teacher

- Sir wait, I repeat, do you have any proof that I pushed him. I do not believe and therefore even without proof you still want to punish me? Rei Lan replied with a playful smile on her mouth.

[In the classroom]

Aaron, who passed between the rows, overheard the conversation of two girls.

- But saw how Rei Lan pushed Ruby. This is too mean! Said the first girl a little too loud

- It's true but speak less loudly someone could hear you said the second girl quickly as quickly as possible

- Ok, I'm silent said the first girl putting her hands on her mouth

Aaron overhearing the two girls' conversation frowned. And strode out of the classroom. He had never really liked injustice. After all, any bad deed should be punished.

- Sir, Aaron began

- Wait 2 minutes for me to finish talking to your classmate, for now go back to class when I'm done I'll come back to you said the teacher too busy to take a look at him

- I know what really happened Aaron suddenly told him

- I told you to wait - wait for what repeat me what you just told me asked the teacher surprised

- I said I know what really happened Aaron repeated to him

- And what happened? Asked the professor

- I saw Ruby pushed Rei Lan said Aaron

Rei Lan smirked at Aaron's saying as Ruby paled, not understanding why Aaron would make up such a thing. Perhaps realizing his foolishness, he frowned, then quickly corrected himself.

- I was wrong, I meant that it was Rei Lan who pushed Ruby in order to hurt her said Aaron quickly correcting himself

- Thank you for this clarification, I will solve the problem you can now go back to class thanked the teacher

- You're welcome sir, it's normal to help the classmate Aaron answered him while looking at Ruby with a friendly smile in his eyes

Aaron turned around, opened the door to the classroom and entered without further delay. Now in the hall there were only three people left.

- Rei Lan, now that you know that you are not accused without proof so I will not repeat it to myself a thousand times, you apologize now said the annoyed teacher

Rei Lan clenched his teeth like a cornered beast against its predators and finally said.

- I will not apologize said Rei Lan in a tone more than arrogant not being at all afraid of the teacher

- Ruby I'm so sorry for what just happened, don't worry I'll fix it. You can go back to class said the teacher in a soft voice

As soon as Ruby left the teacher's face sagged. He was really angry.

- Since you still do not change your mind, you no longer give me the choice, said the professor furiously

- You stay in the hallway until the end of class, you will think about what you did. I'll call your parents to have a little chat with them. Know that you really disappoint me Rei Lan, I hope you get over it said the pro completely disappointed

- You will regret it and you will come very soon to lick my feet said suddenly Rei Lan to him grinding his teeth

- Are you threatening me? Said the teacher bewildered and completely furious

- I will not forget to say the threats you made to me to your parents added the teacher

He walked back into the classroom and noticed in the corner of his notebook calling Rei Lan's parents. He called Ruby who had returned to his group. Unfortunately, maybe because of the problem she had with Rei Lan all of those bandmates alienated her.

- Miss Ruby called the teacher

Ruby noticed that the teacher called her rushed over to see him.

- Yes sir Ruby efficiency

- You're going to change groups. You're going to put yourself in Mei Lan's group do you know who this is? The teacher asked him kindly

- Uh yes I think said Ruby who was struggling to remember this people

- Mei Lan suddenly called the teacher

Surely not expecting him to be called, she turned around in surprise.

- Can you come two seconds please? Asked the teacher

Mei Lan came very quickly to the side of the teacher and Ruby.

- Yes sir? Mei Lan asked skeptically.

- I wanted you to take Ruby in your group said the teacher

- okay no worries naturally restrained Mei Lan

Ruby turned to Mei Lan and started to introduce herself.

- Hi, I'm Ruby

- Nice to meet you, I'm Mei Lan

No doubt she saw my stress because she added quite quickly.

- Don't worry they won't eat you. They are nice said Mei Lan laughing which had the effect of relaxing the atmosphere.

- O-ok said Ruby stammering a little embarrassed that we could see through her so easily

- Okay come on let's go. Don't just sit there and do nothing said Mei Lan

The teacher had already resumed his activities on his desk. What activity? Didn't ask me, I don't know at all! We were heading towards Mei Lan's group. And we had now arrived at our destination ...

Well I guess they must be wondering what I'm doing here, Ruby thought half amused, half stressed

- I present to you a new member of our group said Mei Lna in a somewhat loud voice so that everyone can hear her

- Come sit next to me whispered Mei Lan in his ear

Without further ado Ruby tried her hand at Mei Lan's side.

- Hi what's your name, Hyun-sun asked him with a half-seductive, half-playful smile.

- My name is Ruby I said with a sunny smile

Her smile is really cute. In addition when she smiles she has tiny dimples in the corners of her cheeks that makes me want to touch them. Really pretty Aaron thought, staring at Ruby for a while.

Noticing that someone was looking at me, I turned my head to see who was looking at me. And seeing that it was he who was looking at me, he hurriedly turned his head as if nothing had happened. But the redness which adorned his ears revealed his embarrassment. It was cute I thought

- Do not let yourself be seduced by him said hastily Yun-jiji

- He's right, he's Yun-jiji and I'm Eun-jung we've known Hyun-sun from childhood, he added.

- He's a heart breaker added Yun-jiji again

- Hmm, beware of him said Eun-jung

- That's wrong, I don't have such a bad image said Hyun-sun sulking

- Do not pay attention to them they like to bicker. And Hyun-sun is already in a relationship Aaron told him in a rather soft voice.

- Ah ok I see, and also thank you again for everything. You really saved my life said Ruby in a voice full of gratitude

- Hmm Aaron answered him

- You're welcome, he added quickly

- Sorry if at first I was wrong he said apologetically

- No, it doesn't matter, it happens to be wrong and if you need anything do not hesitate after all I owe you that I replied with a mini-smile

- Good you are at or in the correction of your exams said suddenly Mei Lan

- You don't want a pose, I don't want to work said Yun-jiji

- If you don't work how do you want to find a job asked Mei Lan

- My parents can support me said Yun-jiji proudly

- You're really not afraid that your cousin will repeat these words to aunt said to her laughing Eun-jung

- We will see if you will always be so proud added Aaron a smile at the corners of the lips

- Is his cousin in our class? Asked Ruby completely lost

- My cousin is Mei Lan who is right next to you said Yun-jiji

- I had no idea you were both cousin / cousin said Ruby surprised

- Not many people in the class know that Mei Lan told him

- Mmh, we're afraid that if they find out they'll come and harass her, Yun-jiji said

- You know, we are very famous here, everyone wants to approach us said Hyun-sun proudly and arrogantly.

Aaron patted Hyun-sun on the back of the head and corrected him.

- We are afraid that some person wants to become his friend but that out of interest said Aaron worried

- Mmh it's true that if that happened it would be sad, said Ruby

- But now you can count on me for you are my friend added quickly Ruby blushing

- Pff laughed Eun-jung

- Stop laughing she said blushing Mei Lan

- I also consider you a friend added Mei Lan embarrassed

The other boys laughed at Mei Lan and Ruby's blush.

- Stop laughing said Ruby hiding her face in her arms

- Yun-jiji continues to laugh and I will tell your mother that you don't work, Mei Lan threatened

- But it's not just me laughing he pouted

After having a good laugh, we all went back to work.

{From Rei Lan's side}

Rei Lan noticing that there was indeed no one in the hallway decided to pick up his phone. She quickly dialed a number, hesitated for a second, then started calling.

Beep-beep-biiiiipppp

- hallo? Said a deep voice

- I will need you to do something for me said Rei Lan

The voice on the other end of the line began to chuckle for several minutes before stopping and responding.

- And do I win is helping you? He asked in a relaxed tone

Plip Plop Plip

The rain had started to fall and unfortunately it was sparing no one in its wake. During this day, Aaron's happiness gauge increased but shhh it's a secret. Don't tell Ruby ο (= • ω ＜ =) ρ⌒ ☆.

"Remember that in life there will always be people to hate you ... despite this we have to keep moving forward" (￣_,￣ )
