                                                          ----------

A sigh leaves my lips as I run my wet fingers through my hair, I'm alone in the bathroom. The sound of water fills up the empty room, I place my hands under the faucet allowing the water to just run. The atmosphere is pretty dismal, the only sounds heard are my gentle sighs. The air is cold, most likely because of the door always being left open. I turn off the faucet and examine my face in the mirror, I look bad. My bags are still there, it looks like I haven't slept in days. Maybe I'm just exaggerating. I let out probably my hundredth sigh and dry my hands.

So he likes someone, good for him I guess. Usually, this wouldn't be something I'd care about, so why do I feel a slight wave of discomfort? Maybe I've been around him way longer than I should've. This isn't jealousy, it shouldn't be. It was just so out of the blue, why did he have to ruin the mood with his little crush story? I could've finished my meal. Peacefully. His love life is none of my concerns so why spill it out in front of us. Great now my parade's been rained on.

My head snaps up when I heard the sound of the door opening. I loosen up when I realize it's just Ryujin. She gives me a small smile, with a bit of concern in her eyes.

"You ok? You've been in here for a while now. The others left." she wraps her arm around my shoulder, shaking me.

"Yeah, just have lots of things on my mind" I mutter.

"You know you can tell me anything right?" she pouts trying to lighten up the mood.

I nod in response, allowing my weight to fall on her. My head rests on her shoulder as we make our way out of the bathroom and into the cafeteria. The room is almost empty, students now roam the hallways. The bell had not yet rung so people took this time to just talk and digest their food.

"Hey over here!" I heard a faint call from across the hall.

When I could make out who was calling us I saw Chan with a friendly smile. He was with the others and waving his hand, signaling us to come over. Hesitantly, I approached them (more like Ryujin dragged me) with a lopsided smile.

"You guys were gone for a bit so we decided to wait inside since it was kind of getting cold," he told us. "Hyunjin brought your trays in." That's nice of him I guess.

"Thanks" I muttered, keeping my eyes on the ground.

Hyunjin hummed in response, with a slight smile on his face.

"Has anyone started packing for the camp-out or is it just me?" squirrel boy, Jisung asked.

"I'd appreciate it if you'd all stop talking about this stupid camp-out, since some of us won't be able to go" the youngest boy complained, frowning.

We all laughed at his cute reaction, Hyunjin ruffled his hair playfully while he shoved his arms away. "It's ok Jeonginnie you're rather lucky to not be coming" he winked at the annoyed boy.
The young boy only rolled his eye in response, regretting his choice of speaking. Hyunjin was right, if I was Jeongin I'd be glad I wasn't coming. In fact, I'd do anything just to switch lives with him right now.

"I'll probably start packing during the weekend," I told them.

"Then I'll help you pack," Ryujin smiled at me. I smiled back at her and sent her finger hearts, which she returned with a bigger heart. The boys all cringed at our little flirt session but we laughed it off.

The sound of a ringing bell filled the hallways, earning faces of discomfort from the students. I placed my hands over my ear and looked at Ryujin with a slight frown. It was Tuesday so that meant p.e, and right after lunch too. I hated p.e with a great passion, and for many reasons. All the bad memories it gave me were countless, and embarrassing. I suddenly remembered my little incident with Hyunjin. My face quickly turned red as I tried to remove that thought from my head. Hyunjin shot me a look of confusion while raising his eyebrow.

"Let's go change" Ryujin pats me on the back, bringing me back to earth. I nod and follow her.

"Can I walk with you guys?" the blonde boy asks with a warm smile.

"No" I deadpan

"Sure," Ryujin smiles at me, shoving my arm. I sigh in disbelief and drag my feet to the gymnasium.

When we all reached the gym we separated ways into our own locker rooms. Ryujin and I held hands as we opened the door, just giggling about anything. I place my sports bag on the bench and remove my clothes.

"Oh god, I really need to wash this shirt" Ryujin takes a deep sniff out of her sports shirt (that's probably covered in sweat) she cringes her face in disgust and whips the shirt against my leg.

"OW!" I yelp in pain, I grab onto my leg trying to soothe the now red spot. I snarl my teeth at her, glaring. "Ryujin do you have a death wish??" I growl, earning looks from the other girls. Ryujin laughs in response and sticks out her tongue. Annoyed, I remove my shirt and spin it around. When it's twisted enough I chase Ryujin around the locker room and place a large whip on her bottom. Her shout transitions to a loud laugh, she grabs onto her stomach while bursting into laughter. We don't care if the other girls are giving us bad looks or whispering about us, we're laying on the shirtless and laughing our asses off.

Until the door swings open.

Immediately we both shoot up, staring at the person standing before the door. It's another girl from our class, possibly coming in to change. But that's not my main problem, my main problem was the people outside of the locker room, who were once minding their business, talking, but now staring in shock at the two childish girls who were seated on the floor with their shirts in their hands. And it didn't make it better that Hyunjin and Minho were part of the crowd.

I saw their faces quickly turn red as they fought the urge to look anywhere but our eyes. They turned their heads from us faster than lightning. I took my chance to leap over and shut the door. I look back at Ryujin and back at the door, we look at each other once more and she releases a snort. We burst out laughing once again, leaving the girls in shock.
