I stared at the massive building infront of me that spelt out in bold letters ' Pristin High School ' but what I loved to call it in a simple word was Horror.
This was my biggest nightmare. I hated everything about this place. The smell of books made me sick. It was the only prison where parents gladly enrolled their children into.
I felt a tug on my arm. "Are you okay?" Yonna asked. I looked at her wryly. Unlike you, I'm not fine at all!!!
I managed a smile. "I'll survive."
We walked in the school premises.
The school was as grand as the name implied. Over seventy percent of it's students were heirs of major conglomerate companies in the country. It was an High School you could say was everyone's dream.
Well not mine.
Ten percent of students fell under the category of my sister and I. Students who were either on scholarship or being sponsored by active sponsors of the school.
The remaining twenty percent of students who were struggling to remain in the school. These students when they no longer had hopes of remaining as students of the school became a source of entertainment for the executives of the sorority club.
The sorority club was a base where all the rich love deprived mentally ill students gathered to have fun. No offense towards them but that's just how I prefer to call them.
Members of the Sorority club had records of bullying less privileged students. To them it wasn't bullying but having fun.
"Yonna!" We both hear someone call.
I roll my eyes. It's none other than...
"Jiwon why are you here?" Yonna asks.
Jiwon stares at me with eyes full of contempt which I gladly return back.
Baek jiwon. She belonged to the same category of students with I and my sister. She was the only close friend of my sister and the only one who disliked me just as I disliked her.
She has this belief of me being a bad influence on my sister. I still don't get the point. I don't like her being around my sister. She's more of a bad influence than I am supposedly rumored to be.
She is always feeding my sister with books, books and more books. Our room is now a book hive. Imagine leaving a mega prison just to return to a mini one.
"I couldn't figure out this equation so I had to come find you." She said.
Proves my point.
I watched as she dragged my sister along with her. As much as I would've loved to follow them, like I said earlier. The smell of books makes me sick.
_____ During Recess.
I sit at the school's cafeteria waiting for the prison warden to release my sister. I poke at my food not feeling any appetite to eat. I hear tray drop infront of me and I raised my head to meet the least person I wanted to see that day.
The President of the Sorority club and my sister's boyfriend. Park minhwan.
"Yonna isn't here." I snapped hoping he would pick his tray and scram.
" You dyed your hair again?" He asks with a smile that I always find irritating.
"You have your eyes at the back of your head?" I retort.
He chuckled. "I actually like it." He said.
" You seem to be craving for a beating." I said my patience wearing thin.
I noticed the change in his expression. He knew I wasn't joking. My combat skills were designed specially for species like him.
"Come on now, I just want to talk." He says.
I leaned back on my seat." You don't have any reasonable thing to say so scram." I snarled.
" I actually have." He begins. " I want Yonna to join our Sorority club." He finally dropped the bomb.
I clenched my fists holding back the anger coursing through me. "Yeah, so she can end up on the school's suicide list?"
Pristin High School had the highest records of suicide cases. Every now and then, there was always someone.
He seemed to have sensed the impending danger awaiting him if he dragged the conversation any longer. "Okay fine. If that's what you want." He stood up picking his tray. " But just so you know, our Sorority club has nothing to do with the suicides." He said.
" F*ucking scram!" I banged my fists on the table. Heads of students present turned our way. Minhwan walked away.
The scrawny psycho. I could not still decipher what Yonna saw in him. She had been all over him from the very first time they had met.
It was just because she really liked him. That was the only reason I hadn't beaten him to a pulp yet.
My sister and Jiwon walked in moments later. "Took you long enough." I mutter still irritated. Jiwon sat down. " That prick held us at the library." She said.
By prick, I knew she was referring to Minhwan. I guess this was the only belief the both of us shared equal opinions on. Minhwan was nothing but a scrawny prick.
I finally found my appetite.
"Yonna tell me honestly what do you see in that... that." Jiwon asked speaking my mind. Yonna rolled her eyes
"He's not ' that '. Besides if I tell you, you probably wouldn't understand." She replied with a smirk.
Jiwon scoffed and turned towards me.
"You tell me, what's your thoughts on romance?" Jiwon asked.
" Romance makes me weak and pathetic. I hate being weak and pathetic." I answer without hesitation.
Yonna looked at me. " You speak as though you're never going to get married."
I grinned foolishly. " Yup. Sleeping on the same bed with you and under the same roof with Mom and Dad is enough for me."
Yonna slapped her forehead while Jiwon choked on her food. "You both sleep on the same bed?"
I raised a brow. "Is that a problem?"
Jiwon shook her head. "I can't with the both of you."
I ignore her and turn to look at my sister. I smile softly at her patting her hair. Yonna was.... beautiful.
I picked up my chop sticks. Describing Yonna would be describing myself. I'm not a narcissist thank you very much.
I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I took it out and looked at it. I stood up. "Yonna, cover for me alright. I have a bit of work."
" Hey, Kim Yuri! You're the older sister how can you keep making Yonna do all the work for you?" Jiwon asked.
" It's family matter, don't interfere." I snapped.
" But I have classes at the same period." Yonna said.
Right. Me skipping classes was one thing but Yonna skipping classes was another entirely.
I slumped back in my seat. "Fine, I'll deal with it later."
_______
I was seated in class staring at the teacher explaining but I wasn't there at all. I just wanted to find a means of escaping. I wanted to leave the entire school surrounding as soon as fast.
I stared at the door. Sensing my escape would be any minute from .......
The doors flung open. Jiwon burst in. Her lips quivering. "Kim Yuri..."
I sprinted as fast as I could through the hallway. The air was chilly yet I could feel sweat dripping down my chin.
It can't possibly be....
I could see students gathered ahead of me. I breezed my way through the mob. My steps finally halted as I stood horrified. My body went numb as I looked at the bloody body of my sister laying just a few steps away from me.
I wanted to do nothing but to escape.
____
Jiwon: Hey Kim Yuri. You're the older sister how can you keep letting Yonna do all the work for you?
Yuri: That brat had to spill. I had plans on keeping my name secret till the end of the novel.
