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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8mjzULTAD
She was silent. Cold.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw1H6OodjT
Every boy wanted her.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1biHZAkWrJ
Every teacher praised her.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXoosOZJ9c
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKGJFqnjtu
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl143Py3orL
Cargo pants again. Shirt half tucked in. Silver chain still shining.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQurxC6912G
Everyone looked.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQAt23cjKu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSD1CUqwNk
Why does she dress like that?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ouccRN4PD
Why does it look so good?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvl1qvvQ7a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2h9sLIWEP
Why did my stomach twist when I heard her name?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UpvjE2gTh
Why her again?
They sat together at the back of the room.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88IAWg2MHf
Rio slouched, scrolling her phone.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8qmWBOyAX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZRya2SlpC
I hate her. She’s loud, messy, reckless…10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jcDBi224Z
Why can’t I stop watching her?
10 minutes. 20 minutes.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2JQng9lNo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfwuVaHHPW
It was good.
Han (coldly): "Fine. It’s… decent."
Whispers in Rio’s heart:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wwe37J7cf
She actually read it.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KDhrOVKss
Why does her opinion matter?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCxxSfDFyA
Damn it, why am I smiling?
Then the professor said:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezqTN16gQg
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphAjj6Ravf
Why do I feel weird?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGKazyMI6P
Why do I… kind of want to go?
