said.
    She quickly spun around and found herself face to face with a spiky-haired guy wearing a familiar, innocent smile.
    Park Juno ...
    Park Juno was her ex-boyfriend. They had been together for almost 70 days. Sadly, Hyeon Jin never really showed interest in their relationship. They never even reached their 100th day as a couple.
    As usual, Park Juno's eyes were glinting with mischief. He parked his bike as Hyeon Jin looked around. She didn't realize that she was already inside the school gates while she was so busy mumbling to herself.
    As she felt Park Juno's presence behind her again, she closed her eyes tightly, her face flushing. If there was one thing more embarrassing than talking to yourself, it was being caught by your ex-boyfriend while doing it.
    She waited for him to say something. Thirty seconds went by. One minute. Another 30 seconds. She could only hear the chattering of the students as they passed her by. When two minutes had passed, she slowly looked over her shoulder.
    Park Juno was not there. He had already gone inside the building.
    "Really," Hyeon Jin muttered. She started stomping toward the school building, continuing her mutterings under her breath. "Why did I even wait for him to say something? What was I thinking? Damn. I'm such an—" She stopped in mid-mutter, spotting someone. "HEY! Shin Erin !"
    A slender girl with wavy golden hair and dark blue eyes waved for Hyeon Jin to come over. She was standing opposite the line of lockers in the hallway, fumbling with her things.
    Hyeon Jin halted in front of her, putting her hands on her waist to appear annoyed.
    "Have you seen my iPod?" she asked Hyeon Jin without looking at her.
    "You lent it to me the other day, twit," Hyeon Jin replied crossly.
    "Oh, really? I forgot." She closed her bag and flashed Hyeon Jin a grin.
    You would never, not even once, think that they had been best friends since childhood. With just one glance, you'd assume that they belonged in two completely different cliques.
    Their common denominator? Bullying.
    Shin Erin was quite a remarkable flirt, as Hyeon Jin always pointed out. The evidence? She dated five different guys from the same class, every year, without them knowing.
    Hyeon Jin couldn't really tell if they were plain dumb or just playing dumb . After all, it was quite a privilege for them to date the hottest girl in town, even for just a week.
    Shin Erin got her gorgeous features from her mother, a former beauty queen. Being half-Italian, Shin Erin had a rather perfect combination of genes, and she had never failed to make someone's head turn—whether it was a boy or a girl. She had been offered a bunch of acting roles since the early age of six.
    Hyeon Jin didn’t really mind all the attention that her best friend was getting. There were only two things that she cared about: liberating herself from this pathetic high school as soon as possible and bullying all the weaklings in the world until they developed a backbone. Well, Hyeon Jin wasn't really ugly. It was just that next to Shin Erin, who wore makeup every day and took care to look pretty, Hyeon Jin was nothing more than a plain-looking girl who didn't even use a comb every day.
    "I need it back," Shin Erin said in her overly sweet voice.
    "'I need it back,' my ass!" Hyeon Jin said. "Why did you tell my dad about Park Juno?!"
    Shin Erin curled her brows. "What about him?"
    Hyeon Jin scoffed. She didn't really want to say it out loud because she believed that doing so made it official.
    " Oh.. ." Shin Erin said. "Well, he asked me where you were last night. I couldn't really tell him you were off bullying a bunch of geeks, so I just told him a lie." She thought for a while. "Well, half a lie, actually."
    "Whatever. I'd still appreciate it if you didn't tell him..." Hyeon Jin mumbled darkly, starting to walk toward the end of the hall where their classroom was.
    Shin Erin followed her, finger-combing her hair gracefully, making a group of seniors drool stupidly
