Enemy

Chapter 4.

______( 08:35 am in the morning.)______

Jimin and I were late for school which happened often, but we decide to skip the first hour and enter for the second class.
We headed to the cafeteria down the hallway and finished our project while having breakfast.
As minutes passed people who were late like us started to show up at the cafeteria and I received many smiles and handshakes.

You know, at school I was well known as "the LOVE YOURSELF kid", let me explain.
Since my first year in that school I used to go around, from time to time, interrupting classes shouting "LOVE YOURSELF" cause why not? You never know when someone needs to hear that or needs some positivity and fortunately many people appreciated it, but never as much as Jimin did. Jimin and I became bestfriends thanks to this little thing; during our first year there, I shouted it in our classroom as a joke and we had a little "argument" cause apparently he didn't love himself, and I just couldn't let that be; we spent the whole hour texting secretly under the table till he agreed, shouting back "I DO LOVE MYSELF" at the end of the class and ever since then, we became really close friends.

People's got louder in the cafeteria so Minnie and I decided to join a bigger group of friends sitting at the near table. We were all waiting for the bell, and a girl caught my attention. A short brunette, with big and very pretty, brown eyes was sitting right in front of me, enjoying the conversation with almost everyone. She was wearing a black coat and and I was pretty sure it wasn't the first time I've seen her around, but we surely never talked. This time wasn't different, we made eye contact until a smile formed on her face along with a cute dimple, but that caused me to get shy and look away instantly. I could feel her eyes still on me, staring.

The bell finally rang, just in time to save me from the embarrassment of having slightly red cheeks.
"Jeon let's go!" some messy girl almost yelled from the entrance, to the pretty girl sitting in front of me and she finally stopped looking at me.
Jeon..so that's her name? Well a part of her name at least.
Jimin's small hand, swinging in front of my face took me back to reality as I zooned out.
"Yeonnie..YEONNIE COME" the small boy giggled while grabbing my arm, trying to make me stand up. I chuckled at how hard he was trying without any result, but it was time to go so we all got up and went in our classrooms.. bro that's boring.

Three hours went by really slowly and I decided it was time for a break; a love yourself break.
I sent a message to Minnie telling him to get out of the classroom after me and I proceed with my basic yet efficient plan; asking the teacher to go to the restroom. I was finally out of the classroom and I waited till Minnie came out too.
"Time for some fun, watch this" I smiled at Minnie, ready to break in, pushed the door open, took one good look at everyone and shouted my famous line.
Smiles formed on people's face, laughs and greetings filled room after room as we got in, and that was what made me happy.

Finally lunch time. We all had a break, Jimin left to go meeting his boyfriend and a thought suddenly hit my mind: Jeon.
I started looking for her checking out  people around, but many girls had that same basic description: black clothes, short height and brunette so the only thing I could recognize of her is her pretty eyes. But I couldn't see those eyes anywhere and I was about to give up, maybe I'll try again another time.
A sudden shiver went down my spine as I felt the stare of someone on me but I couldn't quite see anyone looking at me, so I tried to shake that feeling off me.

Jimin appeared from behind me but something was clearly wrong with him; he was staring at the floor as a tear fell down his cheek and he wasn't talking at all. I pulled him closer into a hug to comfort him and I asked him what happened, causing him to lift his pouty face up, to look at me. The sight of his red, puffed and wet eyes got me even more worried, till he started talking with his fragile, broken voice:
"Yoonie and I, we haven't talked all day again today, he was distant and we just had a fight..he was nervous and told me he doesn't have time for me.." Minnie said as he started to cry again.
"Why are you still dating that asshole? This ain't the first time it happens. Last time I told you to give him time but aren't you tired of him yet?" I replied while stroking his back "Stop crying please, it's gonna be okay." I comforted him, hugging him again.

Jiminie swiped his tears away and tried to collect himself when the bell rang..and we both looked at my stomach as it made a loud noise.
"You didn't eat? What did you do all this time?" he asked trying to understand why my cheeks were suddenly getting red.
The thought of me looking for that girl made me blush for some reason.
"I was playing COD on my phone and didn't check the time." I lied, trying to play it cool as we started walking through the corridor.

Until I finally saw him.
The eyes I've been feeling on me this whole time. I turned around and a tall dude who was resting his back against the wall, holding a lighter in his hand, was staring at me. We made eye contact for a second and his black eyes looked so empty to me. His thin lips were pressed together, he looked pissed off and somehow without emotions. I wondered why was he staring at me like that, could he be from the Bruhs? No way, I've never seen him with them and he didn't have any lion pin, so couldn't be. Then? Who was him? And why the death stare? Man why do I always have so many questions but no answers.
As always the bell brought me back to reality. Only one hour left till the end of this day, finally.
