The next day was Wednesday, a day know to be very fun to every student in Hanul highschool. Linda and her friends had planned big for that day. It was the day when the sport activities takes place. Linda arrived early with Ha Rin on her shinning bike. Alex was already waiting for them at the school gate.
"Hey, dude!" Ha Rin said teasingly. Alex shot her an irritated glance.
"You sound so cringe, Ha Rin" he said and rolled his eyes.
"You two___ Can't you ever stay two minutes without getting on each other's necks?" Linda asked with a soft chuckle as she passed in-between them. Ha Rin eyed Alex and quickly ran after Linda.
"Hey, wait for me!" Alex yelled as he ran after them. When he caught up with them, he quickly asked a question breathing heavily.
"Do you..... do you guys know why Jae min wasn't in school yesterday?" He asked trying to catch his breath. Linda pause mid-step and nodded.
"Yeah, I noticed he was absent. He just started and he's already missing classes. It might affect him." She said.
"Well, I called him and he just said he won't be coming." Ha Rin said as she reached out for her phone from her bag.
"I got his number from the register." She added, going through her phone as if looking for something.
"Why didn't he come?" Alex asked with a slight frown.
"I said, I don't know, dumb ass!" Ha Rin snapped.
"And I wasn't talking to you, lousy brain!" Alex snapped back.
"Whatever, both of you! As long as Jae min is fine. He might have a good reason, right?" Linda asked staring at the both of them.
"Mmm... Maybe." Ha Rin replied. She continued going through her phone and suddenly exclaimed like she discovered something.
"This is it! I found his number. I actually forgot to save it yesterday, so I thought I lost it. I hope this is it actually." She said.
"Do you want to save it?" Ha Rin asked the both of them.
"Okay."
"Sure!" Linda answered bringing out her phone. After sharing the number, the bell was heard and they went to class.

The first lesson was over and the class roared in noise immediately the teacher stepped out. After a few minutes, the noise settle as soon as the principal was seen walking in.
"Good morning, students." The principal greeted.
"Good morning, sir." The students chorus which curious eyes. The principal hardly came into classes except it was for a very important issue. So some students felt nervous, while some felt curious.
"I know it's quite surprising seeing me here. Normally, the class supervisor would be the one to always convey my messages rather than I coming myself to do that. But I came for something very important.We have a new student. Not just any student, but a very very important one." He said and then paused for a brief moment to examine the student's curious and excited gaze.
"Let's welcome our new student, Adam Williams!" He finally said and a loud gasp erupted in the class as Williams walked in with confidence. Yes! The very Adam Williams of Seoul!. His hands were in his pocket and he was wearing a complete black outfit. He looked as handsome and rich as ever.
Immediately, Linda saw the face, her jaws dropped and the water which she had drank earlier spilled out. Ha Rin and Alex exchanged surprise glances and then both turned to Linda, whose eyes were about to pop out.
Williams suddenly sighted her looking very horrified and a quite smirk tugged his lips as he raised his brow at her. Linda's eyes twitched in shock. She thought she had escape him the day he locked her in his room but here he was, smiling devilishly at her.
The students were not left out in the shock. Of course, the whole class was thrown into a pool of shock for a whole minutes. When they finally came to their senses, everybody went into action. Some girls arranging their hair, some putting on make up, even some boys trying to look smart, and if course, Linda trying to hide her face.
"Mr Williams, please you can sit wherever you find comfortable." The principal said with a slight bow.
Williams smirked and whispered.
"I already knew where to sit even before I came here."
He walked straight to Linda who was trying so hard to enter the ground. This shocked everyone, except Ha Rin and Alex who already knew the kind of mess Linda was in.
"Hey, Classmate." Williams greeted with a polite smile. But only Linda and her friends knew what was hidden behind that smile.
"Can I sit here?" He asked politely.
"No!" Linda snapped and gasp where heared.
How could she turn down Adam Williams?
Is she crazy? Or doesn't she know who he is?. Many questions where heard from the other students. Even the principal was surprised.
"Linda Lee! Mr Williams would be your sit mate from now on. Be polite to him!" The principal scolded.
Linda shot him a death look and reluctantly shifted for him. Williams sat down confidently, different plan of how to get back at her already playing in his head.
"Okay, student. I probably don't need to tell you not to mess with the new student. See you later." The principal said and glanced fiercely at Linda before leaving.
As soon as he left, all attention was turned to Williams. Linda's mind exploded with thoughts.
Damn, is he here to get back at me for what I did in his room? He's not going to go easy on me, would he? Of course, he won't give a shit! He's probably gonna kill me. She thought, her face twisting with emotions.
"Miss Linda, are you feeling guilty already?" Williams asked with a smirk. Linda raised her head slowly, to meet his deadly gaze. Her heart skipped a beat but soon, she maintained composure.
"What are you doing in my school? You're definitely not here to study!" She said confidence beaming in her face, even if her mind was in chaos.
"Wow. You're really something. Still acting tough, huh. Well, don't be quick to judge me. I like it here. You can see all the attention are on me. And your school has quite the pretty and hot type of girl." He said, his eyes scanning through the class.
Linda heaved a sigh of relief, with a hint of suspiciousness still in her eyes. At least, he wasn't here for revenge.
Suddenly, he spoke again. This time, his gaze was piercing right into her eyes.
"But you're right. I'm not here to study. Somebody still has to pay for the mess they left in my room, you know. " He said and a dark chuckle escaped his lips.
Linda gasped.
Alex and Ha Rin who were sitting close by both gasped too.
He's sure not going to take it easy on me!" She thought.
