KFN A1C1 - Forever the unfortunate girl

Almost drowning while washing her face, always getting pickpocketed in the supermarket, the phone is always out of battery once there is an emergency, the boys she have crush on hates her, etc.

The tall girl stopped in her tracks once she saw Lin Ling's predicament. She walked towards Lin Ling, and bent down to help pick up the books off the floor.

the other, she yelled, "9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!"

With a loud bang, she closed the gates. Dozen or so students who failed to make it in crowded outside the main gates. The fat lady teacher grinned.

"Well, looks like you are all with me."

The leftover students looked at one another, and all broke out cold sweat.

"Oh no, I think we should go with them as well."

As Lin Ling begin walking towards the crowd, the tall girl pulled her towards a tree, conveniently shielding them from sight while making a "Be quiet!" gesture.

"Wow! Are you new here? If the Demon Queen gets her hand on you, you're finished!"

The tall girl gave a look of fear before continuing.

"You never experienced the Demon Queen's 10 Tortures, have you?"

"The Demon Queen?"

Lin Ling rubbed her ears in disbelief.

"Do you mean that fat teacher?"

"So you really are a new student. That Demon Queen is the scariest and a fierce teacher in this school!"

She puts on a horrified face, then laughed.

"That's right. My name is Guo Ting. What about you?"

"My name is Lin Ling. So... what do we do now?"

Guo Ting smiled at Ling Ling at her question.

"Relax, follow me."

Guo Ting then led Lin Ling to the back of the school, and nodded towards a wall.

"We climb in here."

"Huh?" Lin Ling face changed, and she reflexively took a step back.

"Don't worry! The wall's not that high. I'll climb over first. If everything is okay, follow me. Understand?"

Guo Ting threw her bag over the wall as she said this, and nimbly climbed over the wall.

"Lin Ling..."

On the other side of the wall, Guo Ting quietly whispered to her partner in crime.

"The horizon's clear. Climb over here quick! ... Oh no no no, I can't hold it in any longer. I need the toilet! I'll go first, climb over quickly, okay?"

The flurried footsteps quickly faded away. Lin Ling glanced at the wall helplessly. Climb this wall? This is seriously a challenge to the timid girl.

As he slowly chewed, he smiled and said to the girl,

"That was delicious. Thank you."

Delighted at his response, she found herself at lost for words. At the corner, Guo Ting bit her paper towel with a frustrated expression. TL: Like how anime girls do it. Like how your mouth forms a ^ shape and bite a handkerchief!

"The Third Prince smiled at her! I'll make a cake tomorrow as well!"

"He's so gentle..."

"The Third Prince is so well-mannered. He's so kind to anyone!"

"I'm even more in love with the Third Prince than ever!"

All around Lin Ling are girls praising the Third Prince endlessly, but Lin Ling wasn't paying attention.

Why.. Why does his voice sound like that boy's voice?!

= Lin Ling. Her first syllable is a normal name, but the next means 'zero'.

= Imperial Court Group. It's kinda like a conglomerate. Except I have no idea how to translate the name! Let's just go with Imperial Court.

= Guo Ting. Chinese names will remain as such
