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.9Please respect copyright.PENANAo6UfgFXJtQ
She was silent. Cold.9Please respect copyright.PENANAwE12jO9u8Y
Every boy wanted her.9Please respect copyright.PENANAtRRkqAnjag
Every teacher praised her.9Please respect copyright.PENANACyvUOKkMgr
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):9Please respect copyright.PENANASAYgMm2Ds2
"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.9Please respect copyright.PENANAwf81FbIR9v
Cargo pants again. Shirt half tucked in. Silver chain still shining.9Please respect copyright.PENANAiYRDedLnzq
Everyone looked.9Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fig0EET4R
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:9Please respect copyright.PENANAx2MAqtPTZQ
Why does she dress like that?9Please respect copyright.PENANAUo4mLGwhIa
Why does it look so good?9Please respect copyright.PENANApPcz3vKdDW
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:9Please respect copyright.PENANAnkMIHrguaK
Why did my stomach twist when I heard her name?9Please respect copyright.PENANABm1063taW0
Why her again?
They sat together at the back of the room.9Please respect copyright.PENANA3x80hwxb9y
Rio slouched, scrolling her phone.9Please respect copyright.PENANAhHFdB6i9p2
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:9Please respect copyright.PENANAZMvdBOGbyL
I hate her. She’s loud, messy, reckless…9Please respect copyright.PENANA2qQO9GhbPz
Why can’t I stop watching her?
10 minutes. 20 minutes.9Please respect copyright.PENANAeGZup7jfnG
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.9Please respect copyright.PENANAXAS8x9xJZh
It was good.
Han (coldly): "Fine. It’s… decent."
Whispers in Rio’s heart:9Please respect copyright.PENANARMVCwiMJkP
She actually read it.9Please respect copyright.PENANA012qjl4c4Y
Why does her opinion matter?9Please respect copyright.PENANAM4PsDIgjcp
Damn it, why am I smiling?
Then the professor said:9Please respect copyright.PENANAtgM4wEhGfU
"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:9Please respect copyright.PENANAp9iddg3pC3
Why do I feel weird?9Please respect copyright.PENANAyf5AlLhii8
Why do I… kind of want to go?
