Chapter 2

As Althea yawned a bit , she snorted realizing how stupid she was . How could she drink milk this morning when she slept so late at night? She should have drink coffee instead .

Her eyes shone suddenly when she felt that someone with malice is walking towards her directly . She could clearly understand this as memories poured out about a certain guy had always bully her asking her for money whenever he saw Cha Hae-In .

Cha Hae-In hated this cannon fodder . She felt so unfair when someone dared to snatch the money she had worked so hard to earn yet she could only weakly give him what he wanted .

Althea dropped her head down as her hair covered her face , a crazy smile slowly formed on her face as she laugh silently .

Acting like focused with the textbook she is holding ,the guy slapped her wrist as the textbook flew out from her grasp .

Han Chin-Wa smiled at her as he opened his hand indicating her to give the money .

"Give! I am planning on treating my friends this lunch" He said

Althea who didn't give him any glance , stood up and picked up the textbook and sat back again .

Chin-Wa whose hand suspended in the air crunch his brows as he felt irritated at the girl's attitude today .

"Hey! What are you doing! Give me the money already!"He impatiently growled

Althea stared at him with bored eyes . Even though he is older than him , she felt so disgusted that he act like a spoiled child asking his mother for allowance .

"Don't you feel shame , boy?" Althea raised her brows as she looked up and down examining him with a face that looked down on him like a piece of trash .

"Are you that poor to willingly reach out your disgusting palm in front of me to ask for money like I am your mother?" Her words made all the students around her stiff with a stunned look

Chin-Wa's body also stiffened as he heard Cha Hae-In's words .

"W-what----

Before he could even talk back , Althea interrupted him again with a clear disgust on her face .

"You are clearly registered here in the International school . The tuition fee is also high and that only means that students here are capable and suitable here to study . How could you act like that in from of everyone? Don't you feel shame dude? Hah! You are so pitiful , why don't we ask for charity on the SSG office? You go ask for the president to give you money to treat your friends . DISGUSTING" Althea looked at him with a face indicating that she feels so disgusted towards him .

The whole classroom became so silent after her speech finished even the sound of a pen falling on the floor sounded so noisy .

The students inside looked at her with a shocked expression .

Cha Hae-In usually is the one who is being bullied before. How did she suddenly become so brave today .

Even Chin-Wa felt like a bullet pierced a hole in his chest when he heard this . Chin-Wa's breath suddenly became so heavy as he pointed towards Cha Hae-In .

"Y-y-you.. y-" he trembled , he is so humiliated today

The look on Cha Hae-In feels so powerful that even made Chin-Wa tremble .

"What? Feel so shocked that I talked back? Stupid! I was holding back there! I felt so disgusted towards you before that I could only  give you money since you look so pitiful. Dream on dude! Look at yourself"Cha Hae-In's sudden change of word made the whole class shiver from shock

How could this weak and bullied Cha Hae-In talk back so suddenly? And those dirty words could definitely provoke someone if she would talk again.

Chin-Wa whose name definition is most wealthy , he couldn't bear his anger anymore .

As soon as he was about to punch Cha Hae-In . A classmate suddenly shouted that Teacher Lee is heading already .

All the students immediately sat back at their own respective chairs and cleaned their table so that Teacher Lee won't scold them again . Chin-Wa who was about to punch Cha Hae-In shivered when he heard Teacher Lee nearing in and immediately sat at the chair 3 seats behind Cha Hae-In .

When Teacher Lee entered the class, the room is unexpectedly so silent . Teacher Lee smirked and started his discussion about English .

Teacher Lee made the class do some activities and as he was busy instructing everyone . She could clearly feel the gaze of Chin-Wa full of hatred.

Althea could only ignore him and continued writing an essay . Writing an essay is just a piece of cake for her . As she finished her essay she immediately passed it to Teacher Lee and took a seat again .

As Teacher Lee is checking the students' notes he opened the notebook of Chin-Wa and wrinkled his forehead .

When the students saw the face of Teacher Lee getting distorted they immediately shuddered in fear .

He coldly called a name . "Han Chin-Wa!" as he called out his name , Chin-Wa immediately stood up still shivering . Couldn't help but bit herself to stop from laughing , he looks so scared look at that!

"Your grammar is so messed up! You even misspelled a lot of words here . Study more!"

"Yes! Teacher Lee!"

"Sit!"

Then Chin-Wa sat and looked down while shivering .

When she looked at Teacher Lee , she's surprised to see him staring at her intently .

Teacher looked at the notebook he is holding and looked back at her again . As if he couldn't believe what he saw from the notebook he couldn't help but wonder on how come that one of his students who's been bullied and had an average grade , to create an essay as elegant as this .

The writing look so elegant and calming that could even make you feel so curious and continue reading for the sake of admiration . Even the content couldn't be belittled either , the grammar and spelling are correct and etc.

He looked at Cha Hae-In with suspicious look .

Althea didn't care anymore and continued her doodles on the notebook .

When the bell rang Althea immediately stood up ready to go to the cafeteria .

She brought her lunchbox and bought an energy drink at the cafeteria . Her lunch maybe is the most simple meal in the cafeteria right now . But she don't mind , she needs to budget after all .

Having no parents to provide you with financial is a difficult situation for her . And she's also just a child inside .

As Althea is eating her lunch she suddenly felt someone standing behind her . Turning her head to see who it was , she was greeted with water poured out against her face .

Her eyes immediately turned cold as she didn't like this situation at all . When her eyes met the gaze of a group of girls she frowned when she found out that this group is also one of the bully that tormented Ms. Cha's life before .

Being poor is also one of the reason why Cha Hae-In is being bullied . Looking so timid and weak made them bully her since they thought Hae-In won't fight back . Her average grade also made Hae-In to develop her Inferiority complex .

She sighed as she learned this .

Althea in her past life is a kind person . Of all times she's studying , she had not experienced this kind of treatment . Who would bully her? She's just a low-key student and also , even though there are some students who are envious of her before .

No one ever tried slapping her , or pouring water at her .

That is a kind of life she had live . A peaceful yet hard life .

Althea isn't the type to just let herself to be bullied and laugh at . Her pride could not tolerate this humiliation at all! .

The temperature suddenly dropped as she chuckled crazily .

She stared at the girl who poured water at her . Althea look at her from top to bottom . The girl frowned when she saw her target look at her like she's examining her .

Althea sneered and stood up . The commotion caught the attention of the by standers . Looking at the 1 vs 6 fight made their skin shiver in excitement .

"What are you looking at?" The leader arrogantly said

Althea who's face wet reach out for a handkerchief and wiped her face .

"How amusing of you to bully me like this . Your trick is so cheap" She said as she stared at her intently .

"What do you mean by cheap? Are you provoking me?"

"Don't you realize it sooner ? Are you stupid? Don't you see me staring at you coldly earlier? Of course I was provoking you . "

The whole cafeteria remained silent as Althea replied . They stared at her with shocked eyes . They knew this student , she was always bullied , her name is well known and she is infamous for being bullied . It's not that they pity her , they are disgusted at her . 

Seeing that her target acted strangely today she furrowed her brows as she look at Cha Hae-In with odd eyes .

She always don't talk back at her and , definitely she would never act bravely whenever she bullied her . What happened to Cha Hae-In that she learned and dare to talk back at her now .

She pointed her finger at Hae-In as she stared at her in shock .

"How dare you talk back to me!"

Althea made an amused face as she looked at the girl .

"Oh? Then how dare you pour water at me?"she talked back

Cold eyes penetrated her body that causes her body to shiver .Her skin felt like something crawled into her . Seeming like the place where Althea is standing frozed her footstep resounded throughout the hall , it's a light yet heavy.

The bystanders couldn't help but hold their breathe .

They are so confused on why is there some sort of invisible pressure in the atmosphere .

"You , big sister . Dare to bully me again , and I'll kick your ***"

Althea left just like that , she frowned as she was not in a good mood today . Ever since she entered the Academy she really hated them staring at her like they recognize her or something .

Althea isn't use to be in the spot light as she live in a Peaceful life all along but that doesn't mean that she didn't witness anything like that in her previous life .

Shouting , cursing and screaming like pigs . Cat fights from girls , riot of boys , she witnessed it all .

But never in her life did she became so famous before .

She went back to the class and started focusing on the lesson .

When the class ended Althea headed back to the Apartment already and change her clothes .

She decided to check the part-time job .

As Althea's soul entered Cha Hae-In's body it is only natural that she inherited some of her memories and skills .

One of them is also the memory on how to work at the Coffee shop , well ... her job is to only prepare the orders from the costumers and hand it to the waiters /servers .

When she entered the Coffee shop . Gayoung her co-worker waved her hands excitedly .

The coffee shop is currently busy today . Althea couldn't believe that the coffee shop that Hae-In worked in is a successful one .

Althea didn't waste time anymore and went inside the locker room to change clothes .

"Yo! Hae-In! Why did you took a leave yesterday? The coffee shop was so busy yesterday much more that it was Sunday ! I'm so worried about you . You did not even leave a single message for me!" Gayoung suddenly appeared

Althea faced her and wryly smiled in embarrassment .

"I felt so tired yesterday and plopped down on the bed when I head home . I forgot to send a message . Sorry , Gayoung-ssi "

"Ays! Just be quick , how could I miss you when only a day passed . Quick quick!"

Althea smiled and nodded ,

'at least Hae-In isn't alone'
