Chapter 2 - • ELITE HIGH

The Grand Hall of Elite High buzzed with anticipation as students mingled and chattered, there designer clothes and sparkling jewelry on full display. The air reeked of privilege and exclusivity, a sense of superiority that permeated every corner of the prestigious school. Then like a procession of royalty, luxurious cars began to pull up. Sleek designs,tinted windows and custom plates announced the arrival of the school's "Creme de la Créme". The student body parted like a well-rehearsed choreography, clearing a path for the ELITËs to struct their way into the school building. The ELITËs had arrived and everyone else was just a spectator.

The luxurious cars,the designer bags and shoes l,the flawless light make-up,all a testament to their elite status. And yet admist the sea of faces, students still tried to make their way into the school hall.

Lee-A-Rin,the undisputed Queen Bee, stepped into the hall,her presence commanding attention. Her entourage trailed behind her, their eyes scanning the room with an air of superiority. The hall fell silent as Lee-A-Rin made her way to the front row where only the ELITËs could sit. Her eyes locked onto her fellow ELITËs,who were already sitted in the front row. A warm smile spread across her face,but it quickly faltered when she noticed the two empty seats beside them. She approached her friends with a confident stride,her high heels clicking on the polished floor.

"You're Early!" The girl with the ponytail said

Lee-A-Rin didn't give much of a reply as her gaze drifted to the empty seat.

"Oh he?. I do t think he's coming In today!" The ponytail girl said as she kept her head on.

"Welcome, esteemed students,to the prestigious ELITE SCHOOL!" The Principal began her speech.

"Again with the speech?!. Isn't she getting tired of saying the same thing over and over again?!" The cute guy beside the ponytail girl said without raising his head from his phone.

"It's not like you'll listen anyways!" The ponytail girl replied.

"I bet 1 Million Won that she's going to say 'I am Principal Helen Kim, and it's my honor to address the Creme de la Créme of our society!" The cute guy said,still engrossed in his phone.

"I am Principal Helen Kim,and it is my honor to address the Creme de la Créme of our society!" The Principal continued immediately.

"You owe me a Million Won!" The cute guy said as he finally looked up from his screen.

"As we all know,Elite High was gounde in 1961 by the Wealthy and Influential Tycoon,Lee-Seung-Jin. His vision was to create an institution that will cater exclusively for the children of the elite, grooming them to become future leaders and moguls. Initially,the school Elite High was a small, exclusive academy with a handful of students. However, as it's reputation grew, so did it's student body. The school became a symbol of Prestige and Status,with admission reserved for those who could afford the tuition fees. Our believe is that by separating the 'Haves' from the 'Have Nots'; we can foster an environment of excellence, unencumbered by the perceived limitations of the less fortunate. According to our belief based on the family lore,the Lees' had a tradition of naming their Ninth-Generation descendant "ELITE", signifying the pinnacle of their legacy. And do they named their daughter ELITE, destined to inherit the throne of Elite High and carry on the family's vision!....

"Ahem!" Lee-A-Rin cleared her throat.

"What's this?, an History Class?!" The cute guy said and then his gaze met the burning one of Lee-A-Rin.

He smiled and then faced the Principal again.

"As we begin this new term,I want to remind you of our School's Motto; 'La Superiote Par Destin!'_'Superiority By Destiny!'

It is a reminder that each and everyone of you has been chosen to be a part of this Elite Community,destined for greatness.

To our distinguish students from prominent families, I offer my warmest welcome. Your Legacy and Influence are what makes our school great and I assure you that we will continue to provide the highest quality education and resources to nurture your talents. And of course, to those of you who are..... fortunate enough to be here on scholarships or through other means, I suppose you are also welcome. Do try to keep up. Remember to stay clear of the designated areas for our esteemed students such as the VIP Lounge,The Luxury Dorms and The Exclusive Dining Hall. We wouldn't want any... accidents!.

Let us work together to make this term a successful one. Remember;Your Destiny is in Your Hands. Seize it and Your Superiority Shines!,Thank You!"

The Principal's speech was followed by loud cheers and claps as she walked down the pulpit.

"Bravo!.....Great Speech!...Mrs Kim or should I say Ma'am Helen?!" The cute guy at the front row suddenly started clapping. He had on a sarcastic smile or was it a smirk?!.

Lee-A-Rin stood up and walked down the hall and so did the girl on ponytail and the cute guy. It took a while before the principal also stood up and left,then the students were finally allowed to leave.

"Waow,What the fuck did I just witness?!" A random girl asked no one in particular as the students filed out of the hall.

"Another totally normal day in the great Elite School of The ELITËs!" Another girl replied. She stood at around 5'5 with a slender yet athletic build,likely from walking or taking public transportation everywhere. Her Dark Hair was tied up in a simple ponytail, revealing a heart shaped face with puffy cheeks and a small nose. She had a small tattoo of a sun on her left ankle,a symbol of Hope and Resilience. Her style was understated yet practical. Despite the worn-out shoes and faded uniform,she carries herself with Joy and Happiness,a hint of mischief in her eyes;a sign she's the chatty type.

"Really?!"

"Yeah. Hi, I'm Ga-Ram....Han-Ga-Ram!" She replied

"Oh,Nice to meet you. I'm Seo-Ri...Lee-Seo-Ri!" She replied
