A Bully's Romance
Chapter 7

{Guanlin's POV}

Minjun:
Stop making jokes Mark, I know it's you.

"Oh my god I didn't know she could be so sassy."

"What were you doing with my phone? Give it back!", Gentleman Joshua said.

Oh no... I gotta delete the messages.

But Joshua already snatched away his phone before I could delete them.

"Wow... she just talked back to...", Joshua tried hard not to laugh.

You've got a message.

Minjun:
I'm sorry
Please don't give me a blue eye tomorrow?

Cute

You:
Forget it.

Seen

"She's embarrassed.", Mingyu commented. Both me and Joshua jerked up.

"Oh my GOD, can you stop commenting on things?", I said stressfully.

"I'm going to tell Mark that she dared it talk back to him. M-!", I covered Mingyu's mouth before he could finish the sentence.

"SHUT UP MINGYU!", Joshua shouted.

You've got a message

Minjun:
You're not Mark, Mark wouldn't let me go so easily.

You:
Why do you now suddenly think that I'm Joshua if you already found out that I'm NOT Joshua?

Minjun:
How did you know? I was thinking about that?

You:
Did you already forget? I can read you like a book, even over texting.

Dammit, I just revealed myself

Minjun:
I know who you are...

You:
Oh yeah? Who am I?

Minjun:
LAI GUANLIN!!!

You:
Wao, wao, I can even hear your voice coming out from the phone.

Minjun:
Oh and BY THE WAY, how are you guys expecting me to stop these girls from 'taking over your title'?

You:
Are you mocking us now?

Minjun:
No

You:
Stop acting innocent, I can feel your anger and mockery.

Minjun:
I'm not angry, do I seem angry??
NOW ANSWER MY QUESTION LAI GUANLIN!!

You:
Wow, you do seem really angry... what for?

Minjun:
Just answer

You:
I heard that they like to bully pretty girls because they don't want others to be prettier. And since you're clever, you should be able to find a way.

====================
Important: when the letters are underlined in texting, that means they're typing Chinese.
====================

Minjun:
'Princess sickness'😤

You:
'Princess sickness'?

Minjun:
Umm... Nothing

You:
Why can you speak Chinese?

Minjun:
Because I grew up in Taiwan?
And you, why do you know Chinese?

You:
Do I look Korean to you?
Where do you think I'm from?

Minjun:
From... Japan?
No... can't be...

You:
Did you just think I'm handsome?

Minjun:
No I didn't.

You:
Ofcourse you did, you were thinking: 'I have to admit, Guanlin is quite handsome...'

Minjun:
Can you stop reading my mind??

You:
No

Minjun:
Are you Chinese?

You:
And which part of China?

Minjun:
Taiwan?

You:
That was just a lucky guess...

Minjun:
So you're really from Taiwan??

You:
Yeah. But it doesn't make us friends

Minjun:
Why would I want to be friends with you? If one of you then...

You:
...Joshua
You like him?

Minjun:
I surely do NOT!

You:
Who is more handsome, me or Mark?

Minjun:
??

I'm not going to bother saying goodbye.

You:
Neither will I

"I ship you two"

"SHUT UP MINGYU!", I shouted back.

"But why were you guys texting in Chinese at the end? Are you keeping secrets from us?", Joshua asked.

"No ofcourse not", Guanlin replied.

"Tse.", Joshua pouted, "but what were you talking about in Chinese?"

"Arguing."

"Love quarrel?", Mingyu asked.

"SHUT UP MINGYU!!", I shouted at him for the third time tonight, "Have I ever told you that you suck?"

"Yeah, for the 2187396th time"

"Wow, you even count how many times. You're a genius."

"I know right?"

"No you're NOT!"

I got to school and hour earlier as they told me. But they didn't come.

So they tricked me. I sighed.

Still 30min until school entrance opens.

Another minute, which felt like forever, went past. It started raining and I had nowhere to go. My hair got wet and I hugged my backpack tightly so that the things inside won't get wet. My hair and clothes were already soaked in water. What made it worse was that I don't have any other clothes to change.

This was the last thing I wanted. Still 15 minutes.

But somehow, I couldn't feel the raindrops falling on me anymore. I looked up, someone was holding an umbrella over my head. I looked over.

{author's note}
This is my first time trying to write texting parts. I hope it's good 😊. And this chapter I wrote a bit longer than usual.
