I enter the math classroom and head straight to my desk, ignoring the burning feeling at the back of my head. It's most definitely the teacher. It doesn't last for long though. Rosé watches me take a seat and turns to me with curiosity. "What did he want?". "Ah, well, something about liking the way I write. It surprised me but I'll take the compliment". She grins and pinches my cheek.

I get a glimpse of Jimin staring at me and I smile at him, causing him to quickly look away with a light blush. Thinking nothing of it, I focus on class when the teacher starts talking and it goes by rather normally, except for the few glares I get from the man. I guess I'll have to get used to this, but anything is better than the touching and harassing he used to do.

We get the usual amount of homework with a promise of a test that will count for real next week and when the bell rings, making my way out of the class is as easy as it should be, much to my relief.

It'll take time for me to get used to leave this room without being scared of the man threatening me again. Rosé and I make our way to the cafeteria while talking about the homework, which I can already tell will be a pain to complete, but she promises to help me so it makes me a little bit less sulky.

We take a seat at the usual table and get our lunchbox our of our bag. The girls will arrive soon so we don't wait for them and start eating already.

"So, what did you do this morning?" Rosé asks after taking a bite of her bloody food.

A smile grows on my face almost unconsciously and she whistles. "Should I rather ask... who did you do this morning?". I gasp and slap her hard on the arm before turning around to see Namjoon and Jimin chuckling while staring at me. Even Hoseok seems to have a smirk on his face.

The humiliation. "Rosé, you're the absolute worse" I mumble and she widens her eyes before looking at the table where the guys all sit. "Did you... with them?! Girl!" she exclaims and I forcefully shush her while shaking my head. "What no! We met at a restaurant okay?! Stop thinking gross things!"

She giggles like a madwoman and the others eventually join us at the table with their own food. "What did we miss?" Jennie asks while sitting down next to me and I sigh. "Just met some friends at a restaurant this morning. There's a huge library there so we spent the morning reading, it was quite fun" I say and she hums, surprised to hear about me being awake early in the morning but much more interested into eating at the moment.

"Who? You don't have friends" Jisoo mumbles but I stare at her with my mouth wide open. She looks up to see all four of us staring at her. "Jisoo! Watch your mouth, will you?" Lisa scolds her and it takes a moment for her to understand why. "Oh, goodness, Y/N, you know I didn't mean it that way! I meant other than us" she corrects herself and I groan.

"You're forgetting the boys already?" Jennie says with a smirk and Jisoo's mouth forms an 'o' before sheepishly looking at her food. "I guess she has more friends then". I huff a laugh and the eating resumes.

"Wait... so you met them there?" Rosé asks suddenly, links slowly being formed in her mind and she stares at me. I nod and grab an other bite. "Not all of them though. Let's not talk about this here, you know people listen" I say and the conversation stops there.

The girls eventually start on other subjects and the lunch break goes by quickly in comfortable chatter. When it's time to head to sport, I wave the girls goodbye since they have to change and I go straight to the library.

I might be exempted from sports, but staying alone all the time gets boring at some point. I don't want to work on my maths homework alone and I have nothing else to do. I'm sure the teacher won't mind if I spend the class outside with them, I'm just going to go grab a book at the library, in case I find nothing else to do.
