“No… go away… don’t touch me! Go away!” the figure sitting in the backseat of the car thrust her hand wildly, shouting for help. “Go away! Send me back to the orphanage for all I care, just don’t touch me!” she started shouting hysterically. Tears started to stream down her panic-stricken face. “Save me! Somebody, save me!”

“Save me…” Li Yin muttered. “Save me…”
“Li Yin, wake up! Li Yin, are you having a nightmare again? Li Yin!” he shook her slightly by the shoulder, careful not to frighten her by being too rough. Li Yin’s eyelids twitched before they opened, revealing a pair of large and beautiful brown eyes. Tears rolled about in her eyes, threatening to fall any moment. Batting her eyelashes furiously, Li Yin attempted to dry out the tears. Meanwhile, he simply sat beside her, waiting patiently for her to ‘recover’. “Thank you, Yunho…” Li Yin flashed a weak smile at him. “Thank you for everything…”

“Guigui, what do you think I should wear today? Maybe I shouldn’t bother eh. Nobody would notice me anyway. The invisible class nerd.” Junsu sighed as he pulled out a jacket from his cabinet. He busied himself with his daily routines, talking to the framed picture of Guigui as he prepared for school. He dreaded going to school actually. School which reminds him too much of the happy times he shared with Guigui. “Why did you leave so early? Life is so unfair, isn’t it?”

Paper balls and plastic bottles rocketing across the classroom is not an unusual sight here at Mirotic School for the Musically Talented, in short MSMT. In fact, it occurs so frequently that even teachers have gotten used to their bunch of childish students. However, today is a special day, where they should have their best behavior on. “Class, we’ve two new classmates today.” the ruckus in the room died down almost immediately with the students in their seats. Miss Chu walked into the class smiling brightly. “Aren’t you guys going to welcome them with a round of applause?” thunderous claps echoed around the class as if on cue. Finally satisfied with her ‘mini welcoming party’ for the new students, she waved her hand in the direction of the door where two new students were waiting…

“Please take care of our new friends! The pretty girl is Zhang Li Yin, and the handsome dude here is Jung Yunho.” Miss Chu draped her arm around Li Yin who shifted uncomfortably. Perhaps she did not notice - or she pretended not to - Miss Chu chuckled and clapped her hands tightly together. “Now for their sitting arrangements!” Li Yin turned to eye Yunho when she heard what the teacher just announced. Yunho shook his head slightly, meaning he did not know that the teacher might separate the two. Miss Chu scrolled though the class list, trying to pick out the lucky two who will be partners with them. “Li Yin, you’ll sit next to Junsu. Yunho will sit next to xiaoxi!” what Miss Chu said next caused not only the two, but the whole class to erupt in gasps and discussions…

Throughout the music theory lesson, Yunho received lots of slant-eyed glances and heard a few murmurings behind him. Not that he cared, but he was interested to know what is going on. What were the gasps for when he was arranged to sit with the girl beside him right now? Why the awkward and tensed atmosphere? He turned towards his ‘neighbour’ and discovered that she had separated her table from his. Between them was a distance of at least ten centimeters and her head was lowered. “Excuse me,” he said politely as he tapped her desk. “what’s wrong?” just then, he felt a kick at the back of his chair. The guy behind him leaned forward. “That Yan xiaoxi’s a real jinx. Don’t go near her, or you’ll be affected.”

Li Yin had a solemn face on as she tried to focus on the lesson. ‘Too difficult… it’s impossible to concentrate with a guy beside me.’ Li Yin thought as she copied down what Miss Chu is writing on the board. Her partner never once looked at her ever since she settled beside him. In fact, it took her five minutes to find her seat which was situated at a dark and gloomy corner of the room. Somehow or another, it seemed that no one knew where Junsu was seated, or who Junsu was. It’s like as if Junsu never existed. If Miss Chu had not called for this Junsu person to raise his hand high, maybe she would never find her seat. A sudden ‘plonk’ distracted Li Yin from her train of thoughts. Turning to look at her partner, she found him hurriedly collecting his pair of thick and old glasses from the desk. He’s spectacles had fallen off apparently, and how it fell off was none of Li Yin’s concern.

As soon as the bell rung for lunch break, Yunho stood up and quickly made his way towards Li Yin. “How was it? Is everything okay?” Yunho asked concernedly, knowing well that Li Yin loathed guys. Guys excluding him and Mr Zhang, of course. Li Yin turned to her right again, half expecting a pair of heavy glasses to slip off. It did. ‘Plonk!’ Li Yin stifled her laughter as she walked away from her seat with Yunho. “He must be the last person on earth to use that pair of antique looking spectacles. It kept slipping off his nose the whole lesson.” Yunho looked slightly amused as he listened to Li Yin. It had been just an hour, and he is now seeing a different Li Yin. A Li Yin who paid attention to a guy. Not only so, he had also found out that his partner is a jinx. What a wonderful morning…
