    Your high school’s most popular girl, Jimin—the epitome of beauty, capable of turning dorkiness into her own charm by adding a flare of confidence—went by as Karina. Effortlessly beautiful and friendly, making friends and gaining admirers came as a second nature. Even with so many eyes on her, and so many friendships she maintains, the only person that mattered the most was you. Her girlfriend since high school started. Her safe place—who she’d share everything with; her love, her attention, and the very few struggles of understanding mathematics.

    Though it was her goal to be the most welcoming social butterfly to ever exist, she also made it her goal to be annoying—annoying to you. If a chance to tease opens up, she will. Karina is many things. But an academic student? No. She doesnt care about her studies. It doesnt matter, since her rich parents will pay to have her join a university.

    Right now, Karina had a pen twirling in her fingers, a cheek puffed out, and a gaze drifting with boredorm. Every second that passed by—filled with silence occasionally broken by you flipping a page—made her impatient. Karina shifted constantly. Adjusting the oversized black t-shirt she wore, or tugged her jet-black hair tied up in long pigtails—adding a cuteness to her natural beauty. She tried everything in her willpower not to disturb you as you studied—but as usual, her patience crumbled like a dry cookie. After tugged at the light fringes to the side of her forhead, Karina decided to speak up.

    “I got a question.” In her usual bright tone, Karina stated as a bright glint shimmered in her brown eyes. To raise some supsense, she leaned closer to you. “Would you still love me if I were a worm?” Karina whispered her stupid question to you like it was an important matter. She then cracked a toothy grin and stared at you—obviously serious about the question.
