Hello everyone. Sorry its been so long I've updated. I've been too busy with highschool. I've graduated now. Enjoy the book
 SYPNOSIS What exactly is a high school romance story? A typical 'bad boy x good girl' love saga right? Well, this book is gonna drive you into a whole new dimension with a very unique story that contradicts the high school romance tradition. The Dork And The Diva comprises of two different people from two different worlds. Arizona Hart... He's the opposite of what is supposed to be a main male character. He's the shy, clumsy, awkward and unnoticed, Introverted nerd. His nose is always in his book and he's always staying on his lane. He's literally a bookworm. If he's not reading, then he's working out some sort of technology . He's the plain type of guy infact. Areum Kyung... Ever heard of a troublesome, loud, school hater? Well, she's the perfect example. She's an outgoing person and every single student in Crystal Academy knows her. The guys literally worships her. So damn sexy, total rule-breaker, mischievous and very carefree. Not to forget... She's a high-sc
Crystal Academy 17th July, 2023 In Senior High School, CLASS C The class was noisy. The students awaited the arrival of the Geography teacher, Mr David. Some were chatting with their friend group, some were on their phones, some were even making out like they were in a club or something while few were reading. A particular person, was bent beside the teacher's chair, holding a screwdriver and literally loosing the screws that held the chair together. Few minutes later, a whisper was heard, "He's coming! He's coming!" Immediately, everyone settled properly like nothing was going on,even the one loosing the screws. Mr David entered the class, his face stoic as usual. He walked to the chair and placed the books he held on the table before looking up at the silent students. "I hope you all did your assignments because if you didn't, I'll deduct out of your CA marks" Some students grumbled while some chorused, "Yes sir!" Mr David sent all of them a lo
Chapter 2Heart skip Areum left the music class late and tired. She got home and didn't meet her father in the living room as expected. She shrugged, thinking he's in his room or something. She climbed up the stairs, ignoring the maid's calls, "What would you like for dinner, Miss Areum ?miss! Miss!" Areum walked to her father's room, with the intention of kissing him Goodnight and apologizing for what had happened but reaching his door, she heard his frustrated huff, "I just don't know what to do about her. She's so stubborn,never on time,carefree, troublesome,and brings me nothing but worries. Apart from her musical excellence, she's totally a thorn on the neck." Areum rolled her eyes, wondering why her father is so dramatic. The teacher didn't even die! Gosh! "She should be home by now, but then she's probably causing one chaos or the other." Areum wondered who her father was reporting her to. Wait a minute! The only person her father talks about her to is.
The party was just like any other party. Loud, colorful, stinking of alcohol and drunk teenagers everywhere. She's never been to Kayne Black's house. She never attends his parties, she never looks at his side even. Riel pulled her along, through the dancing students. They got to the drinks bar and the bartender smirked, "What do we have here?The most beautiful Areum attending Kanye's party. " Areum rolled her eyes," Shut up, Dante. Riel made me come. " Dante chuckled, giving Riel a fist bump." I'll take 2 shots of tequila."Riel smiled and Areum also took her 🍻 drink. Areum glanced around. It's not her first time of attending high school parties. She even threw her own on her last birthday. She got so drunk... Areum felt her phone vibrate in her hand. She checked and it was a text from Diego, {Come on out. I'm outside}. She turned to Riel with the intention of telling her, but the girl was already flirting away with some dude. Areum rolled her eye
He wore a plain long sleeved shirt and pants. His black hair was neatly trimmed and he wore a pair of glasses. In one word, he's a nerd. The only un-nerd-ish thing about him was his stature. Yes. He's tall and he looks fit. Noticing the strange eyes on him, Arizona looked away. He hates attention. Areum stared at him in shock. Her green eyes widened, "He's that guy from Uncle Yul's cafe." She muttered to herself. Yh. The one that unintentionally bathed her with coffee... The one that keeps interrupting her thoughts,his electric blue eyes staring down at her in her dreams. "Is he a new student?" Blair, one of the students asked. "No. He's always been in the class. He's just not an attention seeker, so look away, you'll make him shy."Mr Oliver said Some of the girls giggled," He's cute."One spoke up and they chuckled. Areum clasped her hands together on her laps. How is she supposed to work with him!? Ok... It's not a big deal. She'll just dump all the work o
Arizona sat alone at lunch, reading a book and eating his sandwich. He's completely lost in his book, not even noticing the other students around him. And then, so suddenly and unexpectedly, someone drops a tray of food on the table, next to him, startling him out of his reading. He flinched a bit, almost dropping the book he held in fact. And when he looked up, he saw a blonde beauty with bright green eyes, standing there, looking flustered. She blinked "I'm really sorry about that! I didn't mean to startle you." Arizona shook his head, a small smile making way to his face," it's okay, Areum." "Uh.. May I?" She gestured at the space beside him and he nodded awkwardly, wondering why he was too dumb to ask her to sit in the first place. Areum smiled, gently settling beside him, her heart picking up its silly beating. The silence between them was pretty awkward though. "I hope I'm not disturbing. I just wanted to... um... talk about our project. "She began
Crystal Academy. Friday Music class. Areum's eyes were glued to her phone as she scrolled through her twitter. Suddenly, she felt someone sit beside her. She blinked, looking up only for her eyes to meet with a pair of grey ones. The person smiled, "Hi, beautiful." Areum smiled, "Hello, Kanye." He pouted a bit, "It should be, 'hello, handsome.'" Areum rolled her eyes, "Your parents named you Kanye." He pursed his reddish lips, "You're hurting my poor heart." Areum giggled."I'm feeling fulfilled. " He made a sad face, patting his chest comfortingly," It's okay heart. Don't be sad, she likes us anyways. " Areum chuckled at him. He smiled at her. Just then, they heard," Hey you! "Areum wanted to ignore it, but the voice came again, even saucier" Are you deaf or what? " Areum glared up at the speaker," I don't know about you, Serafina, but i can hear very perfectly. Thanks for asking." Their classmates placed their full attention on the du
Riel rolled her eyes, "Why are you so excited? It's just a visit to the library." Areum sneered at her, brushing her long blonde hair, "Shut up, Riel." Riel groaned, sitting up on Areum's bed, "Why are you hanging out with him anyways? He's a nerd." Areum frowned at Riel's words, "And so?" Riel pouted, "What do you think our friends are going to say when they see AREUM KYUNG hanging out with a mere nerd" Areum's face turned defensive and annoyed, "He's not a MERE nerd, Riel. Watch what you say. He's human too. And I don't care what our friends think or say. It's their cup of coffee, not mine! So ✋stop bothering me, Riel." She couldn't stand Riel downgrading Arizona like that. Riel scoffed, "You're going yell at me because of him. I guessed he used some sort of shamanic charm on you." "Just keep it to yourself, Riel. I've never disapproved of who you choose to befriend. Why pester me?" Areum asked annoyingly. Riel ignored her,and Areum
"I think I'll just go to the bank tomorrow, Daddy," Areum smiled at her father, brushing his now grey hair off his forehead. The urgency of his operation weighed heavily on her mind; losing him would be the worst thing imaginable. James Kyung held her hand, squeezing it fondly. Tears glistened in his eyes as he spoke, "I'm sorry, Areum."She shook her head, tightening her grip on his hand. "No, Dad. It's not your fault. Please.""It is. I was so consumed by work that I neglected myself, turning to alcohol as a crutch. Now, I've put you in a difficult position when you should be living freely. I'm so sorry, Areum.""Please, Daddy. It's okay," she sighed, hoping to deflect his self-blame. "It will be over soon, I promise. I'll secure a loan, and we'll pay it back after the successful operation. Just stay strong for me, please," she urged, to which her father nodded."I won't let you down, Areum. Not this time," he vowed.Areum offered him a faint smile, reassured by his determination. T
Areum could hear screams as she walked down the halls. It was a guy and a girl obviously and the guy's voice sounded so familiar that it made her heart skip. But then she concluded it was the terrible conversation with Mr George that's affecting her. It didn't go well for real.The further she walked, the louder the voices got. "You're annoying me! I want to sleep!" She heard the guy's voice. She frowned now. That sounds like... Arizona. 'Is it him? 'She could never mistake his voice for anyone else's." Why?! It's not like you want to use female accessories! " The girl screamed and that was when Areum reached them. Surely it was Arizona. She didn't see his face but the back view was enough to convince her. He barked at the pretty girl before him, "I have a girlfriend okay? And its hers."Her heart fell. Did he just say he has a girlfriend? Areum watched as he pulled something off the girl's hair. He turned to Areum, causing her to freeze.Immediately Arizona saw her, his ey
After Areum pulled herself together, she walked up to her father, "Daddy." "Areum... Did you see the doctor... What did he say..." Areum sat with a frustrated sigh, "It's too much, daddy. We can't right now. We can't." She looked like she was about to cry again. James sighed. The two drowned in the uncomfortable silence, lost in thoughts. Suddenly, James asked "Darling, there's a solution and I want to know if you'll be willing to..." "... Why not?!" Areum cut in. She's willing to do anything for her father. James nodded, "You'll have to go to his house." Areum raised a brow, "His? Who?" "George Black." Areum looked genuinely confused, "Who is George Black?" James frowned at her, realising Arizona hasn't told her everything. James sighed, "He's someone I used to know. He's behind all of these." Areum stared at her father in confusion. George Black is the one behind all of these? Then how about Arizona and Kanye... "Here. " Areum heard her father say, giving her
Arizona flew up from his seat in alarm, screaming into the phone, "Hospital?!" Kanye frowned, "Hospital?" "What happened to her? Why is she in the hospital?!" Arizona rushed out, his heart pounding at the possibilities. Did she hurt herself? Did she try to... His heart shook. Immediately, he asked, "Which hospital?" "GoldBlue General. Are you going over?" "Immediately." Arizona said, rushing up the stairs of the mansion. Kanye rushed after him, worried also. They entered Arizona's room and he began to search through his wardrobe. "What happened to her?" Kanye asked him. "I don't even know." Arizona murmured, his voice trembling. He wore a shirt and jeans as fast as lightening. Picking his phone, he dashed out of the room. Kanye went after him, down to the garage. Arizona unlocked his car and was about to rush in when Kanye grabbed his arm. "Before you go,you need to keep something in mind. She might push you away." Arizona's heart fell, "I know that. But I st
Luella poked her head in to the living room and scanned around. The television was on but mute, leaving the house silent and gloomy. Arizona sat on the floor, his head casted down. She walked to him, squatting before him, "Arizona? Are you okay? What happened to you?" Arizona didn't reply but his shoulders trembled, making Ella frown, "Arizona. Please tell me. Then I can know what to do. I saw you with Areum earlier and..." "... She's gone." He whispered. He looked up to see a surprised looking Luella, "Gone? Where to?" Arizona closed his eyes and threw his head back, chuckling like a crazy person, "She left me. She's gone like...gone!" He barked at Luella, who flinched. "Oh my! I knew she was bad news immediately you started hanging out with her. Is that why you've been moody these days? What happened between you two?" The way Luella asked, her voice and facial expression would clear her off any suspicion. Her act was so perfect like she knows absolutely nothing about
"I need to talk to you real quick." Kanye said, walking up the Arizona who had just left the gent and was returning to the hall. With his usual plain face, he asked, "What?" "Dad needs us to..." "I'm not interested." Arizona growled at his brother. How can he talk about their father now? It's annoying. "Come on Arizona! It's important!" Kanye snapped making Arizona roll his eyes. Before he could say anything else, he heard footsteps. Looking up, to his surprise, he saw Areum... . . . Areum's eyes widened when she saw the two of them. Her throat became dry as she looked down, hating to see them right now. "Excuse me." Areum murmured with the intention passing between them and going her way but she should have known better. Someone stopped her by grabbing her arm. The touch was electrifying but she was so sure it's the anger working. "Let go, Arizona." She spoke with a low voice, trying to hide the pain. "Areum... Please, listen to me... " Areum rolled her eyes,
Graduation Day. The sun poured through the tall windows of the graduation hall, casting long shadows across the rows of empty chairs. The air was filled with a buzzing anticipation as the graduates and their families filed in, finding their seats and chatting excitedly. The stage was bathed in a warm, golden light, ready to welcome the next generation of graduates. As the ceremony commenced, the air grew hushed with anticipation. The performances began , each class getting reading for their own presentation. Mr Blooms and his students were getting prepared to go on stage and sing their hearts out for the guests. He looked around frantically, "Okay! Areum is here! Dallas too... Indie.... Where the heck is Kanye?!" Indie looked at Areum, who looked away immediately. Indie found that weird but she replied Mr Blooms, "I'm sorry! I'll call him now." and she excused herself. Areum also left the waiting room. She went to the restroom to co
"Good evening, Young master Black." The beefy bodyguards bowed as Arizona stormed into his father's office. He didn't acknowledge them which was unusual. They stared at each other and shrugged. Entering the office, Arizona met his father and brother, discussing. George smiled immediately he saw Arizona, "Son! I was just about to call you. Cornard Bills is proposing a contract and I'd like you to handle it while Kanye works on Gold Blue's project. What do you think?" Arizona clenched his fist, "I'm not interested." Kanye raised a brow, "What? It's a big contract, stupid." He teased a bit but that didn't change Arizona's hard countenance. Arizona scoffed, facing his father, "Are you satisfied now?" George Black narrowed his gaze,wondering what his son was so mad about. He's never been this angry at him. "What do you mean? " Kanye asked, now confused. "Because you couldn't let go of the past, I've lost literally everything! What I thought
Arizona stands there, frozen in place, his own emotions swirling inside him. He doesn't want to leave, but he knows he has to respect her wishes. Slowly, he steps back, his eyes never leaving hers. He can see the hurt and anger in her eyes, and it breaks his heart. He steps through the door, closing it behind him. Arizona leans against the door immediately, sliding to the floor, his head in his hands. He can hear Areum crying on the other side, and it feels like his heart is being torn in two. He wants to help her, to make things right, but he knows she needs space. And so he sat there, listening to the sound of her grief, feeling powerless to do anything to make it better. His head throbbed with a headache, the pain only adding to his distress. He felt sadness and regret. But he needed to give Areum space. She's too angry and sad to listen to him now. Maybe he should let her calm down... . . . There Areum sat, against the door
