Extracurricular - Tumblr Posts
[ spoiler free review ]
It’s 1:59 am on may 15, and I just finished watching extracurricular. It’s a psychological crime show and it’s a Netflix original. It’s my first time watching something like this and it surprised me at how invested I got into this show, it was probably because of the crab.
This show is not for the faint of heart, it’s one of the darkest shows I’ve ever seen and I watch American horror story. It was so much. So much happened in just those ten episodes, so much that left me speechless and breathless. The actors are phenomenal, absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen such convincing acting in my life, and I watch a lot of shows ( sometimes I finish them but not all the time, I have a habit of starting a show and never finishing them ), I’m still very shook.
I didn’t know how they were going to end it but I was not expecting the way they did. I loved this show even though it was dark and everything the characters did was so so illegal, I couldn’t help but love it. I watched it all in two days, fastest I’ve watched a show ever. My thoughts are so jumbled right now but I need to get them out and I don’t think I should burden my friends with this.
I just, this was a lot. That’s it, bye. I need to watch something light hearted now.

“I'M GONNA WING IT” “No, you're not you're gonna sit back down”
We were in the middle of class and I had come back from a break. It was one of the first times I was sick in a while and of course, my lovely boyfriend helped take care of me after classes. However, while I was sick my stupid boyfriend didn’t inform me of a presentation. And of course, it happens on the day I come back. Since Graham was very popular among (us) the school, many students every day hope to be Graham’s partner in class, I’m normally his partner.
You’re the only English partner for me
And that. He roped me into this situation by making me his partner again, telling the teacher he would do all the work for me. Obviously, that was a lie.
“My love, aren’t you just the cutest when you’re mad!” He says
“I’m about to be gorgeous then. Get your but and mine out of this mess or so help me!” I said tugging on his shirt, scaring him.
He nervously laughs and tries to tug away desperately. I finally release him, holding my glare as he walks up to the front of the classroom. I could swear he’s strutting.
“The Great Gatsby… is a *cough* novel about…” He gazes around the room.
“BEAUTY! THE BEAUTY OF LIFE!! It’s about finding the love and that safety you always dreamed of! Jack Gatsby-”
“Jay Gatsby,” I corrected from my seat, rubbing my temples.
“JAY GATSBY! Never truly saw Daisy for who she was! He fell in love with the person he once knew and never truly got over it. He was emotionally constipated with her! He couldn’t POOP IT OUT!”
“Oh my god…”
“He built up this false vision of her and never let go! Anyone would surely fall short of his never-ending expectations. She’s a selfish, selfish person!”
Gee, I wonder who that reminds me of
As he continued, he strangely got into the moment, lighting up and speaking with passion. These were parts of him I really liked. He was an idiot, but he was passionate and always gave everything his best. I love the way he slowly starts to smile and his nose crinkles up and he drops his ‘suave and flirtatious’ exterior. When he finishes there’s a change in energy in the air. That’s just what happened around Graham, he takes this energy around him wherever he goes. I really can’t get enough of this guy.
“Did…did you not read anything of the assignment??”
There it is.
“Well, the thing is Miss,” He started to say
“You said and I quote ‘Give a presentation about The Great Gatsby’. You never specified that we had to follow the instructions on the board” He said batting his furiously long lashes. (Seriously, dang it his lashes are long)
“Just- Get out of this classroom,” The teacher said with raged eyes.
“W-Where do we..um?” I said sitting up, nervously tapping my fingers.
“Just away… take him with you. I can’t do this right now” They said pulling out their phone.
“Michelle, I'm quitting my job” They turn away, taking a call.
A worried and guilty look splashes across my face as I look away and grab my things. A hand is extended to me when I stand up.
“Shall we my darling?” He said with a smirk.
“Awwh.” I flick his forehead and walk out first with him trailing behind me, flustered.
.
Graham was currently laying on my bed while I was making up a few of my assignments.
“Picture this, you, me, ballroom! Or no a Masquerade Ball!” he said staring at my ceiling waving his hands around.
“Ball? In this century?” I scoff
“At least at a Masquerade I don’t have to see your face for a while”
He ignores me.
“We’re obviously the most attractive people there. They start playing romantic music, we start dancing. Oh, we are just magnificent!” He explains.
I sigh and ignore him, continuing to type
“Next thing we know, we’re sneaking away from the public and holding each other in the night- Oh! On a balcony, or maybe the castle garden.”
“Mmmhm,” I hummed, not exactly paying attention.
I hear the rustle on the bed behind me.
“WALTZ WITH ME!”
“GRAHAM-”
He suddenly picked me up and spun me around humming along to a random rhythm. Graham’s laughing and starts singing again. His cardigan is waving as he spins and my arms are firmly wrapped around him making sure he doesn’t drop me.
“AAH GRAHA- GET OFF LET ME GO PUT ME DOOWN!” I yell.
“Hahaaha! Beloved, it’s ok! I won’t hurt you.” He says hugging me close.
I scowl at him and pinch his cheek. He sit down on my bed, me still in his arms.
“You never pay any attention to me” He pouts and dips his head into my shoulder.
“Yeah! Because I’m doing the work I missed when you got me sick Ugly!” I said angrily. Ugly is a nickname I commonly call him. Ironic isn’t it. Not like he minds.
“What? MeeE? Get you sick??”
“If I recall, you wanted me to ‘dance in the rain’ with you?” I said crossing my arms.
“I suppose I can recall that occurring. In my defense, it was really romantic.”
“Uh huh”
Graham was really obnoxious sometimes but you’ve endeared yourself to him. He can have his sweet moments and he is really encouraging. He makes it seem like everything he says is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever heard, no matter how stupid. He’s just so radiant. I can’t get enough of this cherry bomb.
God aren’t I smitten.
Not like he’ll ever know anyways.

“One day…I’ll make the onions cry…” “Whatever you say, honey”
“Ah! I see you are using the word ‘honey’ because it is an ingredient of which you use to cook, but also as a name of endearment! I am very grateful for your strange form of affection!” He smiles proudly.
Ine and I were currently in the middle of cooking some lunch. I took on the responsibility of teaching him modern human stuff. He was in the middle of cutting the onions (under my supervision of course) and he was quite disturbed at how the onions brought tears.
“I wonder though if the onions can bring tears, can other produce bring sweating? Or perhaps another bodily fluid?”
“Uhhhh gross and I guess sometimes. Spicy stuff can make you sweat and salivate” I say with a gross look on my face.
“FASCINATING!” He says with stars in his eyes.
Ine was a bit much, but he was sincere and always sought out my attention. Who was I to deny him, especially if he’s asking in such an innocent way? He grew on me quickly to put it simply.
.
.
I was just standing by my locker peacefully when I felt like I was being watched. I turned around and saw no one. I shrugged and turned back to my locker.
“I have a question”
“AAAH” I jumped and tripped over my feet. When I looked over to my left I see Ine staring at his phone his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“According to our textbooks, July 20, 1969, was the date of the moon landing. But according to this article, the moon landing wasn’t real. Which is true?”
I raised a brow and rubbed my temples.
“Ion, augh don’t scare me like that. And the moon landing was real don’t believe everything on the internet”
“So everything on our textbooks is true?” He said tilting his head.
“No not really all of it just-ya know believe what you want to?”
“Hmm, so if I want to believe that you love me I can just believe it?”
I sputtered and turned red. THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY TO THAT
“I-I MEAN I-IF YOU REALLY WANT TO IT’S JUST U-UHM” My face is glowing and my eyes are darting everywhere except him.
“So…You love me? That’s the truth then?”
My face couldn’t be brighter as I hastily grab my things and rush away. Where? Anywhere but around him.
.
.
I’ve been avoiding Ine for the past few days now. This is miserable. Sad to say I miss his questions and stupid eyes. And that smile…
“Focus!” Al snapped in my face. He was tutoring me in my math on the rooftop.
“Is this because of that Ine thing again??” He grunted out and closed the notebook.
“No?” I asked… somehow?
“Ugh either go work this out yourself or quit wasting my time, it’s probably not even that big of a deal.”
“Errrrrg you’re no help.”
“Thank you.” He smirked.
I glared in his way and looked towards the view.
“It’s just… He’s really naive. I'm afraid he’ll get hurt. I really care about him, I don’t want him thinking… He’s always so caring and sweet. Ine makes me feel… alive. Like I was just some bland, background character but now… I'm just, special in a way.”
“Pretty corny though huh Al? Al?”
Wait a minute…Al always interrupts me when I rant.
I whip my head around and there is Ine, looking back at me with adoring eyes and a red flush against his green color scheme. Al was nowhere to be found, probably ditched a while ago.
“U-uh that was-I-I mean I wasn’t” I blurted randomly.
“Is it true now?”
“W-what??”
“You really love me right?”
My heart beats like a drum and my head couldn’t feel lighter.
“I…Ya know what honey? Believe what you want to…” A smile returns to my face for the first time in a while.
Extracurricular: BooBoo Gives Math Puns and Feeds the Al Simps
“Just go tell him he’s cute! What's the worst that could happen?” “He could hear me”
Strangely enough, I’ve developed a… crush on Al. Even more strangely enough, I’m asking Graham of all people for advice.
“Ahh come on! It’s Al for crying out loud! All you have to do for him is be the Jane to his Charles!” He bats his eyes dramatically.
“I don’t know if you’re a dork for making a pride and prejudice reference or I’m even more dork for understanding it.”
“What was that?” I turn my head back at him to see him enraptured in his reflection in the window.
That guy’s dynamite
“Hey! Hey!!” I turn my head to see Al waving in my direction.
Al and I had gotten pretty close over the last few months after valentines day. He remains on the sole reasons im no longer failing, not only math but all of my subjects. He made sure I got and finished all my homework and made me study guides for every subject i was failing (besides P.E) and basically carried me out of it. Al and I bonded so much over that time, we even developed a secret code for when one of us needed to meet up. ‘Did you learn more about the ILLY situation?’ What’s the ILLY situation? No clue, but these days I seem to always learn more about it.
“Have you seen the recent update with the ILLY situation? I’ve gained some knowledge on it” He said a smirk on his face.
“Ah! I see, I’ll meet you up later to talk about it.” I winked at him.
He flushed a bit and smiled before walking out.
Al was never really that much of a wordsy person. He constantly interrupted you and sometimes treated you as if you were stupid. But he cared, you were sure he cared. Sometimes, he leaves you notes reminding you to drink water in your textbooks and when you can’t sleep at night, you both call and he reads to you. At one point he accidently called you ‘dear’ and you never let him live it down. If that wasn’t evidence enough, for your birthday he gave you a watch labeled ‘every second I think of you’ You kept that note with you at all times it made you so happy. He cares. And you couldn’t be happier.
“Excuse me? Why have you’ve been staring at the doorway with metaphorical hearts in your eyes?” Ine brings me out of my state of lovestruck.
“They do this all the time” Graham says, dragging out the ‘all’.
“Interesting!’ He says with shine in his eyes.
“They don’t understand that Al’s obviously obsessed with them. Barf worthy” He says dramatically waving his hands.
“It appears as though the term ‘mutual pining’ is what is going on. From my research this is an adorable ‘trope’ yet can be catastrophic.”
“Don’t worry! I think I have a bad idea!” Graham springs up.
“... what kind of a bad idea” I find myself saying.
“So, here’s what you’re going to do.”
Approaching the rooftop, I begin second guessing myself. My heart and feet are pounding like a drum and I almost trip over my feet. This is our entire relationship it could be at stake here just because I want it to be more. This is a mistake. My mind is racing but i can’t stand this. I don’t want to hold back, I don’t want to feel limited with what i can do. I want to just be with him there. I just want-
“Early this time! Progress” He slow-claps.
“You know me heh, just… always learning from the best” I say placing my things down.
Al chuckles we begin a charming conversation. In the back of my mind I remember what i have to do…
“...Infinite Hotel was such an interesting paradox, I just loved it” He ranted with a smile
“We’re a better pair-adox er-wait uh-” I said hesitantly
“...what?” He said processing it.
“Y-You are sweeter t-than 3.14 Al” I continued.
“...W-WHAT IS THE M-MEANING OF-”
“I-I heard you like math, s-so what’s the sum of U+Me?”
“H-HEY YOU CAN’T JUST-”
“UHHH I-I’LL CAL-CU-LATER” I sprang up and ran out before he could finish.
Stupid stupid stupid
I escaped to the library, tears welling up in my eyes. I sit in the corner and lean on of the shelves. Why couldn’t I just leave us alone? I miss him already, I must’ve ruined everything. I hear the sound of a paper slide across the hardwood floor to me. It’s… It’s the note.
When I ran out i left all my stuff there. My bag was the least of my worries. It contained my textbook, my homework, and i guess my phone. I figured i could pick it up later, after classes as to not risk running into Al again. But, one of the main things i kept was the note…from Al. My eyes widen and i hastily grab the note with furrowed eyebrows.
“Every second I think of you” was crossed out and written underneath in a dark blue was the words.
“Every second I love you more”
Silence.
My head is spinning and my emotions feel like fireworks.
There’s no way..
I turn my head upwards where the note came. Al was there, waiting for me with a blushing red face.
“Y-you must b-be √2? ‘Cause I feel irrational around you!” He hid his face with my bag.
I rise to my feet and walk over to him. Slowly he moved the bag from his face and met my gaze.
“Al, I less than three you.” I said smiling.
He shut his eyes and turned his head slightly away still red and combusting.
“C-Can I kiss you?” I said leaning in slightly.
“U-UHM I MEAN-PLEASE-I MEAN”
When our lips met, it felt so…so…radiant. Finally.
This is bliss isn’t it?
…
“I TOLD YOU IT WOULD WORK!!”
“What a turn of events!”
Ine, Graham were they…watching the entire time-
“Don’t yell in the library you two..wait” Al hissed and thought for a bit
“RUN MY GREEN FOOL RUN” Graham yelled and ran away
“Why are we running?” Ion questioned…while running
“TAG UR IT” Zeke bounced and tapped Al on the shoulder and ran passed him.
“YOU STUPID- GET BACK HERE” Huh…Sounds like a bad idea to me.
Extracurricular: BooBoo Writes for her FAVORITE CHARACTER
What was supposed to say? No? “No”
“What? Why not?!”
“I’m failing my classes Zeke, there’s no way I’ll have time for a…a date,” I said turning slightly red at the end
“But I planned a whole romantic outing and everything! Why can’t you just go!” Zeke said tearing up.
I grabbed his face gently and run my fingers over his cheeks, looking into his glossy eyes.
“I'm sorry Zeke, It’s just more important,” I said to him with a frown on my face.
He rested his head on my shoulder and hugged me before we both jumped at a sharp screech in our ears.
“MOVE IT CUDDLE BUGS WE HAVE LIVES!!” Coach screamed at us, breaking us up for the next activity
.
.
I walked my way out of literature, trying my best to escape Graham’s narcissistic rant he always does. That guy’s dynamite, no way he’s ever gonna find someone to love him as much as he already does himself. It’s not like there are people who actually think that little cherry bomb is cute. I don’t have time for him right now, I have to go study for my science test.
I open my notebook to get ready for a long hour of studying until I see a pop of gold in the corner of my eye. I turn away before I feel my notebook get ripped away from my hands.
“Ion! Give that back!” I said confused and frantic, ironic how as I'm studying for science-SCIENCE interrupts me.
“I was told to keep this away from you,” He said in a monotone voice.
“Well it’s mine can I have it back?” I said in a tired voice.
“Ok,” He said surprising me.
There's no way it’s this easy
He hands me my notebook.
Ok it’s this easy
“Ine! You are supposed to tell her to go to the track!” Zeke said popping out of his hiding spot.
“They asked for it back. Is this not the correct reaction?” He said tilting his head like a puppy.
Track?
I stare at the arguing colors for a moment before deciding to see for myself. I grab my backpack and make my way to the track.
Zeke, what did you do now?
I walk past the fake toy candles in the sunset and stop at a blanket laid out on the grass next to the track. It's simple but looks so cozy. It looks…Zeke in a way.
A fond smile is drawn on my face as I think back to him.
“HEY HEY!!” speaking of.
I turn my body to face him.
“What’s with this?” I ask with a smile.
“I wanted to make this for you…” he stops to pant.
“I knew you were busy but I still wanted to spend time with you so I thought that while you’re studying mayyybbeee we could lay together soo”
I doubt I’ll be able to focus with this golden retriever around but he’s been trying for so long just for me, how could I ruin that? Besides, I guess I do deserve a break.
I put down my things and sit on the blanket and yank him down with me. He yelps and flops on his but. He scoots next to me and rests his hand on my shoulder. I lean into him and smile.
“Hey, Zeke?” I turn my head at him.
“Yeah?”
“Can I kiss you?”
He suddenly turns a shade of red that could put Graham to shame.
“W-WHAT?”
“Can I kiss you?” I ask again looking at his lips.
“PLEASE I MEAN-IF YOU WANT? I MEAN YOU OBVIOUSLY WANT TO YA KNOW YOU ASKED BUT LIKE-”
I decided to cut him off, for ya know our own good. The kiss was short, only being a few seconds long, but it was so sweet. I feel him melt into the kiss and I smile against his lips before pulling away. I giggled at his face. His eyes are lowered and dazed and his face couldn’t be redder. My hand returned to his cheek and pressed our foreheads together smiling and shutting my eyes.
“Zeke, You’re really really cute ya know?” a large grin stretches across my face.
“AAAGH” he falls onto his back covering his face with his hands.
“Yeah, you really are…stupid too,” I said, my smile turning into a smirk.
“Hey! You meanie” He stuck his tongue out at me playfully.
I did study eventually. But I know my priorities, Zeke’s more important.

Kdramas that I have watched
66. Extracurricular
This show was recommended and on my list and when I was looking for a short series to watch I chose this,since it is 10 episodes. I had no idea what this show was about when I started it.
I can't pinpoint what I liked (if there was anything) or what I didn't like. I just trudged on to get to the end.
It's not a bad show, just not to my liking. It was too depressing and dark for me. I didn't find myself invested in the characters or the plot.
Watch this if you like a very serious take on social issues.
Idk In “extracurricular” Jisoo is so adorable. I know they’re trying to make him seem awkward and nerdy but he was so adorable. He was saving gyuri’s wrappers bc he liked her so much.
He deserved better
