Chapter 1

Li Mei’s POV

“Xiao Li! Hurry up! We’re gonna be late to class!” My best friend, Qin Qin, cries worriedly.

“I’m coming! I’m coming!” I run after her to the classroom.

We arrive at the classroom, and Qin Qin slowly opens the door.

“Mrs. Wu! We’re so sorry for coming late! We were-”

“I don’t want to hear your excuses right now. Please, take a seat.” Mrs. Wu, my least favorite teacher interrupts.

“Yes, Mrs. Wu.” I mumble, annoyed.

I took my seat next to Wang Yuan and Junkai as Qin Qin took her seat next to Qian Xi.

I started to do my warm-up.

“Psst! Xiao Li! What’s the answer to the third one?” Wang Yuan whisper-shouted.

“Shush! We’re gonna get in trouble!” I whispered, frantically.

“Wang Yuan! Li Mei! Since you have enough time to talk in my class, I’m sure you have enough time to spend in detention after school today!” Mrs. Wu says, furiously.

“Yes, Mrs. Wu.” I grumble, rolling my eyes.

“Thanks a lot, you idiot.” I say sarcastically to Wang Yuan.

“No problem.” He answers as I roll my eyes and turn my attention to my warm-up.

After Class

“Come on guys, let’s go to lunch.” Qian Xi says, gathering his stuff and standing up.

“I gotta do something... I’ll see you guys in the cafeteria at our usual seat.” Junkai says, gathering his stuff and rushing out the room.

I rolled my eyes. If he’s going to talk to Addison again, I’m gonna kill him.

Addison is his ex-girlfriend. When they first started dating, Addison was actually pretty nice and friendly. But she started acting rude and cheated on Junkai and now all of us except Junkai hated her. But my twin, being his sometimes annoying nice self, always gave her a chance.

We all went to the cafeteria and sat down. Qin Qin sat down next to Qian Xi which wasn’t a big surprise. She’s been crushing on him since the first day they met. But she never had the guts to confess to him even though I always tell her that I’m positive that Qian Xi likes her back.

I sat across from Qin Qin and next to Wang Yuan who was sitting across from Qian Xi.

“Aww, look! It’s my besties!” A suddenly girly voice cheers almost making me jump out of my seat.

I don’t say anything and continued eating my lunch, knowing that Junkai has forgiven Addison AGAIN.

Junkai sits next to me as Addison slides into the seat next to Qin Qin.

“Hi Qinny! How’s my bestie today? We need to hang out soon! We haven’t hung out in SOOOOOO long!” Addison drags the ‘o’ dramatically.

“Uh yeah. I’ve been busy.” Qin Qin says, awkwardly.

“Hi Wang Yuan! Gosh, I missed you so much! You’re even cuter than the last time we hung out!” Addison gushes, completely ignoring what Qin Qin just said.

I give Junkai a glare while mouthing ‘What is wrong with you?’.

He rolls his eyes. ‘Everyone deserves a second chance.’ He mouths.

‘She’s had way more than a second chance.’ I mouth, angrily.
