Chapter Text
"Give an O!"
"O!"
"Give an R"
"R!"
"Give me a G"
"G!"
"Give me another O!"
"O!"
"What does that spell?"
"Orgo?" The crowd said in confusion as Dahyun waved her pom poms around vigorously.
"Yeah! Go orgo! To all of the students who are taking that organic chemistry exam, you're gonna do great!" She jumped in place as a few people gave her a high five before the sea of people dispersed and made their way to their next classes.
Dahyun walked on over to a bench to get her gym bag. She took out a cold bottle of water to hydrate herself. Her friends Momo, Sana, and Tzuyu were waiting for her to finish her little cheer as they filed their nails in their uniforms but neither of them had the energy to motivate an entire crowd.
"Are we done yet, Dahyun?" Momo pouted as she put her nail filer down. "We've been out here forever."
Dahyun checked her watch before looking back at her. "It's been eight minutes."
"Ugh." She rested her back against the bench as Sana patted her knee.
"Seriously, Dahyun. How do you have all this energy in the morning?" Sana asked as the latter shrugged.
"I just love being...peppy!"
"That's gross." Tzuyu rolled her eyes.
"Hey! You guys wanted to join the team. What did you expect?"
"To get popular so that people can do our assignments." Sana explained.
"And it worked." Tzuyu added.
Dahyun frowned as she crossed her arms. "Well that's not what my reason is and I definitely don't need anyone to do my homework for me. I'm on the dean's list after all. "
"You know what you could be doing with all this power?" Momo asked. "Host a party or even just go to one."
"And be around inebriated people? No thanks."
"Dahyun, you're gonna get tired from living this clean life. Trust me." Sana stated.
"Don't count on it." The captain grabbed her gym bag and stared back at her team. "Now if you'll excuse me. I have to go help the chess club. They seem to be in dire need of my school spirit."
With that last sentence, she turned her heel and left her friends as they sat there in complete silence for a moment.
"Yo we got a chess club?" Sana asked.

Chaeyoung heard a knock on her door as she got out of bed to answer it. Once she opened the door to greet her friends, the smell of marijuana became more evident in the hallway and it was clearly coming from her room.
Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Nayeon stood right in front of her as they stared to cough a little from the strong smell.
"Rough night?" Nayeon waved her hand around.
"More like rough life." She answered as she leaned against the door edge with bloodshot eyes.
"You keep missing your classes, missy." Jeongyeon stated.
"School is nothing but a business used by the government to make money off of young people who barely have any direction in life."
"That's deep but you know your parents are paying for your semester. You can't let them down like that." Jihyo pouted.
"Jokes on you. I already let them down as soon as I was born."
Nayeon huffed and pointed back to her room. "Go sober up. I don't know, do some push ups or something. We'll come get you back here in an hour."
"For what?" Chaeyoung furrowed her eyebrows.
"To take you to class. We even texted you about that." Jihyo stated."
"Oh right, I have a phone..." Chaeyoung scratched her head as she sighed. "Fine, I'll follow the system for once and attend a class. Happy?"
"Very." Nayeon beamed. "And spray something nice in there. It smells like something died."
"You mean my hopes and dreams?"
Nayeon glared at her before the group left her to get ready.

After sometime, Chaeyoung finally sobered up. She wasn't happy about it but she didn't really had a choice. Her friends would have somehow kicked her ass if she didn't comply to their wishes. Her first semester hasn't been so swell but she forced by her parents to attend university. Luckily for her, her friends joined the same one. As they made their way through the courtyard, Chaeyoung looked back at her friends.
"Can I at least have a cigarette?
"You can't smoke on school grounds, you know that. You're lucky you haven't been caught with weed." Jihyo pushed her shoulder playfully.
"Oh please. I'm sure even half of the professors are on something."
"How would you know? You barely go to class." Jeongyeon teased her as Chaeyoung mimicked her with displeasure. As they were getting closer to the building, the group started to hear some noise. As they were about to enter, Chaeyoung whined.
"What the hell is all that yelling for?" She finally turned her head to see a cute short blonde girl cheering in her uniform. Chaeyoung stopped her tracks as she stared at the girl from afar. She was incredibly pretty and they way she bounced had her mesmerized. "Who is she?" She bit her lips in interest.
"That's Dahyun. She's the captain of the cheerleading squad." Nayeon stated.
"And she's...been here this whole time?"
"Crazy things happen when you leave your dorm, huh?" Jeongyeon teased her again.
"Hey, I go to pubs too okay."
"Well you'll definitely won't find her there." Jihyo patted her shoulder. "And trust me, she's a goody two shoes. So don't even try it with her."
"Hmph." Chaeyoung moved her shoulder away from Jihyo as she smirked. "I wouldn't mind if she cheered for me."
"You're disgusting." Jeongyeon grabbed her by the back of her shirt as they all finally entered the building.
