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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fEJvwaRer
She was silent. Cold.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGscJm7rJR8
Every boy wanted her.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NexXhaqvV
Every teacher praised her.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrdzrHyWkG
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):10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJFHMCPVLM
"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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchDYGFK3de
Cargo pants again. Shirt half tucked in. Silver chain still shining.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71MHbOAxUJ
Everyone looked.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljYKVjvN3p
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:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ASRpb7cfL
Why does she dress like that?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp57CjpKBJ6
Why does it look so good?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhAseYL8zD
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:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq6JcjimiB
Why did my stomach twist when I heard her name?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvCbQzKrjA
Why her again?
They sat together at the back of the room.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sETR3Dtsi
Rio slouched, scrolling her phone.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcdytb9Ph
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:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoqnlJMrlb
I hate her. She’s loud, messy, reckless…10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYFbqVbuGU
Why can’t I stop watching her?
10 minutes. 20 minutes.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m40dpMloE
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yhyGuZ9bf
It was good.
Han (coldly): "Fine. It’s… decent."
Whispers in Rio’s heart:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiAyLhy7aY
She actually read it.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8szVZWQLDW
Why does her opinion matter?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0JZVmf9dN
Damn it, why am I smiling?
Then the professor said:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uojPoA9x6
"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:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uxmeUqmJ2
Why do I feel weird?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT5v96XMXq
Why do I… kind of want to go?
