Pandemic Uprising

Chapter 22: Back to School

I'm back at it again with another chapter guys! This chapter will start with Jay-Kobe's pov and the rest will be from Sung-ho. This chapter is a little longer at 2359 words. Some adult language. Ok let's get into the chapter, shall we!

Jay-Kobe Pov

The camping trip went by faster than I thought. We went water rafting, hiking, and played games. It was nice to relax with nature, and no one wanted to leave. Unfornenly though Sunny has school so we have to head back. Right now, we are on our way back to the dorms.

My brother is driving, Damien and Angel are sleeping, Joseph is talking with my brother in the front, Jordan is reading, and Sunny and I are hanging out at the table. He had a worried look on his face. "What's wrong, Sunny?"

     "Oh, nothing, just hanging out."

Just like me, Sunny is a horrible liar. "Sung-ho, I know when you are lying, no tell me what is wrong." He looked at me when I said his Korean name. I only it when I need to get his attention. I see a mixture of sadness and worry coming from his eyes.

     "I am worried, Appa. I have never been to a public school before, and I do not know what to expect. You know I get anxious around new people. How am I going to make friends?"

     "Sunny, you will be ok, I promise you. Doing schoolwork sucks yea, but you will make friends, I am sure of it. Try not to stress too much. Overthinking is not good and will make things worse."

     "Did you, the king of overthinking and stressing, just tell your son not to overthink? If that is not the pot calling the kettle black, then I do not know what is," I hear my brother shout from the driver seat.

     "Just keep driving, Alex!"

An hour later, we get back to the dorms. It was nine-thirty, and Sunny had to be up by seven. The other members and I have dance practice in the morning. We also are making the mv for one of our songs. The other members went to their rooms along with my brother. I walked Sunny to his room, and he got into his bed.

     "Good night, Appa."

     "Good night, Sunny." I turned out his light and walked to my room. With everything on our schedule, tomorrow is going to be a long day. I fall onto my bed and pass out. Not before setting my alarm, of course.

I was staring at the ceiling of my room, unable to fall asleep. I was thinking about what Appa said. Just be me, and everything will be ok. The main thing I am worried about is getting bullied. I was bullied at the orphanage, and that is why I am so shy around new people. It will be a new school so I should try to relax and get some sleep.

The next morning

I was having such a good dream when I was shaken awake. I look up to my Appa, sitting on the side of my bed already dressed.

     "Sunny, it is time to get up. We have to leave the dorm in an hour for practice and to drive you to school."

He said and left my room. I groan as I get up from my bed and get my uniform from the closet. Apparently, when we were camping, Jinnie-Hyung picked up my things for school and brought them to the Appas dorm. I hate wearing uniforms, but that is the rule. I'm heading to my bathroom, and I get a quick shower to wake me up. After my shower, I get the uniform on and head downstairs with my glasses. Walking down the stairs, I see a cup of coffee waiting. 

     "I made your lunch and have your bag and stuff in the van. The others are in the van waiting."

I follow my Appa out of the dorm and to the van. I climb into the van and sit in the back. I took out my phone and earbuds and listened to some music. I'm still a little nervous I play some classical music like Beethoven and Mozart. Suddenly, I feel someone tug on my blazer and look to see Jordan.
