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.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnyFUDCCX7
She was silent. Cold.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjBkwwzDPn
Every boy wanted her.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGwr9ShnWR
Every teacher praised her.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Wo7MoOfG
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):18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyhAxWTgZP
"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.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZojk0kW2ig
Cargo pants again. Shirt half tucked in. Silver chain still shining.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN9X6NtUVk
Everyone looked.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTpwjvwqvc
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:18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgsjKiCh6n
Why does she dress like that?18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0aGHB7IQa
Why does it look so good?18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfg5ryA203
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:18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUsx9PHv9Q
Why did my stomach twist when I heard her name?18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVyWRrkNeP
Why her again?
They sat together at the back of the room.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj2YTjCa0h
Rio slouched, scrolling her phone.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5I0CB4UNI
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:18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0njpj2pg2s
I hate her. She’s loud, messy, reckless…18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSpQMbVrEF
Why can’t I stop watching her?
10 minutes. 20 minutes.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXKaWorWpP
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.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSWPWhDggP
It was good.
Han (coldly): "Fine. It’s… decent."
Whispers in Rio’s heart:18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxJBIZhmxS
She actually read it.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GGGlQkL9S
Why does her opinion matter?18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELz23nS6Uh
Damn it, why am I smiling?
Then the professor said:18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHgV90e2sV
"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:18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIngHPb0yM
Why do I feel weird?18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD35JvLvnDT
Why do I… kind of want to go?
