chapter fourteen
----------
I had stormed out of the shop leaving Hyunjin behind to clean the mess. Too many unfavorable events have happened in just one day, way too much for my liking. I couldn't even drink bubble tea in peace anymore, that only lead to having a soiled uniform top. Don't get me wrong, I never enjoyed the uniforms they were unpleasant and not very attractive, but limits get reached.
There was a small feeling of guilt that rose upon me as I got farther away from the Hyunjin. It wasn't entirely his fault that my drink was spilled, and I was just leaving him there. But shouldn't have acted like a pervert, right?
I marched all the way to the front steps of my flat, my hands not as tense as they were earlier. I knew I was going to be alone like every other day so I didn't worry about being asked why I was home late.
When I had opened the door, there was no sign of movement, as expected. Marching into the kitchen, I drained my shirt into the sink, watching as the brown liquid ran across the plates. I turned on the faucet to rinse off the color so there were no stains left behind. I threw the shirt into the basket made for dirty clothes and my way up the stairs to my room. I immediately hopped on my bed and started my homework, I already learned my lesson for not doing it once and definitely didn't need it to happen again.
As I did my homework I would check my phone from time to time, looking for any messages or notifications. Not that I got a lot of those anyway, I didn't really speak to anyone in that school except for Ryujin and a few classmates. People would only speak to me if it was to ask for the homework or to help them study.
I finished my homework after an hour and a few minutes and decided to go downstairs for a snack. I rustled through the now full cabinet, which I had gone grocery shopping for, and pulled out a pack of lay sour & cream chips. I poured myself some Fanta and brought my mini-meal upstairs.
Round two of going back up the stairs, I put the chips on my bed and placed my cup on the night table. I threw myself on the bed and hung my head off the edge, legs on the wall I took out my phone and opened Netflix. Since I had done all my homework a few episodes of my kdrama wouldn't hurt.

I laid my head against the window of the bus, occasionally the road would get bumpy and cause my head to vibrate uncontrollably. It didn't bother me though, it was like a head massage, for free.
I had my headphones on while I silently hummed to the music on my phone. The bus ride to school was always pretty calm, with no one to bother me, no classmates to bump into. Most of them rode their cars to school. I didn't have a car though, I was planning on buying one after graduating, besides the bus ride doesn't bother me. So what if I'm not in a boujee tesla or some BMW, my music is all I needed to keep sane.
The bus arrived at my stop so steadied down the small stairs and stared at the school building. Another episode of life in jail.
I carried my not-so-heavy bag on my shoulder and climbed the ridiculously long stairs of the school. The hallways weren't so empty this time, I had to heave my way to the classroom due to the number of students.
As I entered the room my eyes laid upon Minho and his gang gathered around my table. They were all chatting and laughing, Minho was seated at my table with a paper in his hands, Jisung was being loud and Changbin was laughing. I'd have to admit I was a bit curious about what was going on so I gathered up the confidence to march over to them, "I hope my seat isn't taken" I folded my arms. They finally noticed I was there and all turned their attention to me.
