Chapter 1: Rich Barbie vs Street Girl Han Seo, the rich disabled girl, sat like she owned the world. Her dress was worth more than Rio’s entire life.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV7HSypkxg
She was silent. Cold.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw1BeO2U70
Every boy wanted her.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiJg77DttI
Every teacher praised her.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQKQUfl14L
And she hated one person more than anything:
Rio Nova.
The girl with chains on her neck, attitude in her blood, and eyes like “try me.”
Lunchtime. Han’s table. Imported berries.
Rio passed by, chewing gum, eyes on the fruit.
Rio (loud): "Wow, berries? Someone’s living the rich Barbie dream."
Han (not looking): "Keep walking, trash."
Rio (sits at her table): "Relax, I didn’t touch your golden fork."
Han (calm but deadly): "You shouldn’t even breathe near it."
People stared. No one blinked.
Rio (smirking):14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrpu49DFS8
"I breathe wherever I want. Even next to spoiled plastic."
Chapter 2: The Assignment War
The next morning, Rio walked into class like she ruled it.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2eefHquKK
Cargo pants again. Shirt half tucked in. Silver chain still shining.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI6b7yBJ5t
Everyone looked.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcFkhBbx1O
She didn’t care.
Han sat in her usual front row seat, back straight like a queen, not even blinking.
Whispers in Han's heart:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25hCOKOMl2
Why does she dress like that?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ooFIUMRR
Why does it look so good?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKHV5DUCFQ
Why… do I notice every time?
Professor walked in.
"Today, you’ll write a story with a partner."
Everyone groaned.
"The pairs are written. No changing."
Rio rolled her eyes.
The professor read out names...
"Han Seo and Rio Nova."
Rio (yelling): "What cursed day is this?! I have to work with her?!"
Professor ignored her.
Han (coldly): "If you can’t handle it, ask for a transfer."
Rio (gritting her teeth): "Oh I can handle you, Princess."
Whispers in Rio's heart:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4mHRlfJxG
Why did my stomach twist when I heard her name?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcTmjXp0i
Why her again?
They sat together at the back of the room.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiYwyRS5SN
Rio slouched, scrolling her phone.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPJpJW5R2l
Han opened her notebook, writing.
Han: "At least pretend you’re helping."
Rio: "Rich Barbie, you’ve got a gold brain, right? Use it."
Han: "If you don’t help, I’ll report you."
Rio (mocking): "Wow, you really love threatening me. Cute."
Whispers in Han’s heart:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ai5KmO7B
I hate her. She’s loud, messy, reckless…14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i6aKGqHRk
Why can’t I stop watching her?
10 minutes. 20 minutes.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIGVR0uxrC
Han kept writing. Rio kept ignoring.
Then suddenly, Rio snatched the notebook.
"Move. Let me show you how a real story is written."
She started writing fast. One line, two, ten, full pages.
Rio (smirking): "Look, Barbie. I did it. Appreciate me."
Han blinked.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkxWFMTtIw
It was good.
Han (coldly): "Fine. It’s… decent."
Whispers in Rio’s heart:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW4p36eBIc
She actually read it.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTFsyQXtxZ
Why does her opinion matter?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q069KSJm8
Damn it, why am I smiling?
Then the professor said:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6aEMnU2VG
"Rio, now write the second story too. You two have great chemistry."
Rio (shouting): "Are you serious?! I wrote the whole thing already!"
Han (calm): "This one’s mine. Come to my place. You’ll help."
Rio: "No way. Last time I wrote everything."
Han: "You’re coming, or I report you."
Whispers in Rio’s heart:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohA4DtzBOH
Why do I feel weird?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLB7WW1bJ0
Why do I… kind of want to go?
