章 10: Son of the devil

I entered the bathroom and looked at my hair in the mirror. I looked like a lion. Well my zodiac sign is Leo so might as well look the part.

I tackled my hair with some water from the tap and the flimsy ass comb that Harin gave me. I decided to just put it into two cornrows parting right down the middle, but immediately as I paced the comb on my hair to part it I heard a snapping sound. I looked at the piece of comb in my hand and the other piece sticking out from my hair. I groaned as took the piece out and marched out of the bathroom towards where I last saw Harin.

Due to my rage I slapped the comb down on the table not noticing the two other guest sitting across from her, "Harin this toothpick of a comb broke and my hair is still a mess and it is all your fault."

She was startled by my sudden appearance and held her chest in surprise. I felt bad for startling her but I didn't care at the moment for I was mad.

I heard someone cleared there throat from behind me and I turned around in a flash to address this rude person.

"What?" I snapped.

The guy looked genuinely surprised by my behavior but it wasn't his startled face that caused me to sober up. To his left was the last person I had expected to see when I rolled out of bed this morning. In fact I was hoping never to see him again after my not so bright idea the other night.

Our eyes met for what felt like the longest time. I took the time to admire his features. He had the cutest nose with a such pretty lips. He had a strong jawline and the most perfect gummy smile. Anyone could easily fall for him for he had such perfect features. I was enjoying the view if I was being totally honest. He was wearing a tank top which showed off his toned muscles.

He didn't look so skinny as the other night I thought, but then him being the totally annoying asshole that he is smirked at my not so subtle way of checking him out.

I felt so embarrassed for I was supposed to hate him not publicly eye raping him. He was so annoying I could stab him with the broken comb and call it self defense. Hmm not a bad idea.

Harin tapped me on the arm as if reading and I turned to look at her. In her eyes I saw a 'do not even think about it look'. It was kind of too late for that, although I wasn't sure if that look was meant for 'do not fall for him' or 'do not kill him'. I decided to go with the latter.

"Atalia" the devil's son addressed regaining my attention, "we meet again."

I turned to see him smirking that annoying smirk of his. I stood there staring lost for words still in shock from his sudden appearance until I got ahold of myself and cleared my throat.

"Shiwoo and company" I said nodding.

I politely smiled at the sweet looking guy as I pulled Harin with me towards the bathroom in a hurried pace. I was going to kill her.

If my skin hadn't been so dark I would have been as red as a tomato. God bless my melanin, but my ears and face still heated from embarrassment. You could fry an egg on me. That was how embarrassed I was.

"Why is he here!?" I whisper yelled as if he was on the other side of the door.

"Look I didn't know he was the friend I thought Minseok was bringing. If I had known I would have told him no. I don't want him here either " she defended.

She was right about the friend being cute but that is not the point.

Minseok. That name sounds familiar. I thought as I rubbed my hands over face.

"He saw me looking homeless Harin" I said sliding down the wall to curl up into ball.

Just kill me now and spare me from future embarrassment I thought.

"Oh please who cares? He's nobody it's not like you like him right?" she questioned as she pulled me to my feet. There was something in her eyes. Was she jealous or threatened? I laughed at the silly thought. Seeing Shiwoo must have startled me more than I thought.

Sill in denial I avoided her question and looked in the mirror.

"I looked like a cave woman and worse I was acting like one" I whined.

"Girl please do yourself a favor and shut the fuck up. You have the most perfect fro that I've ever seen. Not like I know a lot of people with fros but still. As for your behavior. Yeah that did suck." She said shrugging.

"Oww" she said as I flicked her on her forehead.

I looked myself over in the mirror and she was right. I had a nice fro so who cares. I fluffed my hair and liked how it fell over my shoulders. I turned to check myself in the mirror. The top was actually kind of cute. The yellow with my melanin looked real nice. It hugged my waist that was tucked into the shorts. The shorts also hugged my 'fat' ass just right but it still hand some room for free movements.

I decided that I did look okay. With one last glance we exited the bathroom and I walked hand in hand with Harin back to where they were seated. Minseok was kind and I saw the way he looked at Harin. You go girl.

My mental cheering ended as I sat across from the devil junior and we held a staring contest. I liked a challenge so I didn't back down. Time to put this boy in his place.

They had ordered coffee for us while we were away and he took a sip of his without taking his eyes off of me. I too did the same eyes never wavering.

He finally looked away smirking. What was he smirking for? I won. To treat myself in victory I took a big gulp of my coffee which resulting in me burping.

"Sorry" I said flustered.

The table laughed at my 'cute mistake'. In Korean culture being the youngest in a group even for as little as by two days it automatically means that you are the baby. They find everything you do cute and treat you like a child. I don't mind having my food paid for or being called cute for I was the youngest in my family for a few years until my sister came but sometimes it gets annoying. They don't take anything you say seriously and reward you for the stupidest things.

I sat there pouting for I was not a baby. I felt somebody kick me from underneath the table and looked up to see Shiwoo trying to hide a smile. I kicked back and heard Minseok yelp.

"Oh my God I'm sorry I thought I felt a mosquito" I lied.

Shiwoo busted out laughing and I shot daggers at him and he covered it with a cough.

Another embarrassing moment for the day. Atalia you're on a roll.

Harin scolded me and switched seats with Shiwoo and proceeded to coo Minseok better. While glancing at Shiwoo. Huh?

I scrunched my nose up in disgust at their lovey doveyness. It was very irritating but not as irritating having to sit next to someone who makes your skin crawl. Lord help me to make it out of what ever this is out alive.

I should be at school. Serves me right for saying I can miss a day for I already have a perfect attendance record. Me and my big mouth.
