Further Than the Moon

When Galaxies Collide

Another day, another fight.

"Wake the fuck up!"

Great, that's the very first thing Seulgi heard when she woke up. Correction: when her friend woke her up. "It's our last first day, I've been calling your for ages now! Get up and ready up for class, we're eating on the way".

"Chill... What time is it?", she slowly got up, while her friend finished a thing or two with her makeup.

"We have 10 minutes before the bus arrives, otherwise you'll miss your favorite subject. How's that?"

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. Seulgi thought before running to the bathroom, coming back to her closet and grabbing the first piece of clothing she saw. The first class of the day was COSMOLOGY. Cosmology. 

Seulgi missing a cosmology class? That would never happen.

She brushed her teeth while peeing, and threw on her clothes. Seungwan was already waiting for her by the door, arms crossed and eyebrows almost glued together. "You're getting wrinkles before your mom. I'm ready, I'm ready!"

"You didn't even brush your hair", she said rolling her eyes and watching Seulgi coming back to the bathroom. "I have a hairbrush with me, brush it while we walk!"

After giving the hairbrush back to Seungwan, Seulgi accepted the snack she was handing her.
It was Seulgi's idea to stay up late to watch movies together saying it wouldn't be a problem, but Seungwan was the only one who could hear the alarm.

The two girls got to the bus stop right on time. 'Thank God', they both whispered at the same time, Seulgi letting her friend get in first and making an extremely exaggerated reverence to her.

Once she got in, she realized she forgot about something else that Seungwan didn't notice until now. To tie her shoelaces.
She stumbled and held onto the closest chair, hitting her head against the person occupying that place.

"Ahh, dear Lord...", she heard from the person. It was one of the girls that was at the bus stop with them, and by her side her friend who didn't look so worried about the accident, she was actually holding her laugh.

"I am so sorry." Seulgi said before sitting in the chair next to them, hurrying to tie her shoelaces. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, it was just an accident. Are you?" the girl asked, turning around to check on her. Seulgi nodded, paying attention to the small eyebrow raise and smile she just got from the girl. "Nice shoes", she pointed and turned back to her friend.

"Seulgi," Seungwan called unbothered, "you forgot to tie up your shoes."

"No shit, Sherlock."

~~~~~

Once they got into their building they took their seats and decided to chat for a while, the teacher hadn't arrived yet.

"Have you seen her around here before?" Seulgi asked, a little bit too curious.

"Not really. But..." she raised her eyebrows to Seulgi, "she left the bus right after us."

Actually, she didn't even see the girl leaving. She decided to head out first, afraid to stumble once again and hit someone else. And she was too shy to stay there for any longer after what happened. "Which means...?"

"Which means that her course has to be something related to the Natural Sciences! Be careful to not hit her again."

That made Seulgi get excited. She needed to apologize correctly. And she really wanted to see that little smile again, in a better situation next time.
