That... was definitely not normal. And the strangest part? In the following days, Clara continued acting this way. She wasn't screaming anymore. He didn't pick on anyone. It didn't even seem like the same person. Jiho began to find that very strange. But a week later… everything went back to normal. Clara reverted to being the annoying girl she always was. And Jiho was left with a question in her head: What had happened that week? He didn't know yet… But the answer was much closer than he imagined. Days passed, but Jiho couldn't get it out of her head. For an entire week, Clara had been… different. Educated. Calm. Even being kind to people. But then everything went back to normal. She started picking on him again in the hallways. "Get out of the way, scholarship student," she said one day, nudging his shoulder lightly. Jiho frowned. That made him even angrier than before. Not because she was being annoying… But because he had seen something different in her. Or at least that's what I thought. "That girl is very strange..." he murmured to himself.

Jiho's first day at his new school was not what he had imagined. He had won a scholarship to study at one of the most prestigious schools in the city. For his mother, it was an incredible opportunity. For him… it was just a place full of people who already seemed to know each other. Jiho tried to stay quiet. He sat at the back of the room, did his chores, and avoided drawing attention to himself. But there was one person who always drew attention to him. Clara. She was known throughout the entire school. Beautiful, popular… and extremely annoying. From day one, she picked on him. "Look who's here, the scholarship recipient has arrived," she said with a mocking smile. Sometimes she would nudge his shoulder as she walked by. Other times she would deliberately drop her books on the floor, watching as he bent down to pick them up. "You should be grateful to be here," she said. "People like you don't usually last long in this school." Jiho hated that. I hated the way she talked, her irritating smile, and the way everyone laughed. But with time... he simply got used to it. It was always the same thing. All day. Until one morning, something changed. Jiho was in the hallway, holding her books, waiting for Clara to appear so she could do what she always did. She was walking towards him. But there was something strange. Her gaze seemed different. It didn't have that provocative glint. It was... calmer. Jiho braced herself, expecting the usual push. But he never came. Clara stumbled slightly as she passed by, and his books fell to the ground. Jiho sighed irritably. — Sure… But before he could say anything, she quickly ducked down. And he began to collect his books. "I'm sorry..." she said softly. Jiho stood there, staring at her, completely confused.
