Who Invented High School?

58

Dear Journal,
God I should've went to homecoming with Hoseok...but I just couldn't. I felt really bad about it...I really did, but something in me just told me not to go. It would've been my first homecoming at Perilous High School though. Mama has been telling me to go out more, but I just can't. Now that she's getting sicker and sicker I just can't bare to leave her side. Even though school is an escape from the sadness I get when I'm at home, but I just can't leave Mama. It pains me everyday when I have to drive to school. School's been stressing me out a little bit because I have multiple class assignments, the competitions, and I have Annie the Musical. I only have another two weeks to memorize my lines and then it's off script until December. But let me go back to Hoseok really quick. I have no idea how to feel about him? I mean don't get me wrong he is literally so sweet to me, but I feel like he's just trying to get in my pants...I mean we made out with each other on the first date...I think that's moving a bit too fast and I'm feeling a little bit weird about that and Solbi??? She asks me on a date and then the next day she tells me to forget about it? I mean...she told me she knew about my crush on Tae but at the same time I don't know if I have a crush on Tae actuality. This whole thing is a mess and I really don't want to be apart of it. I'm already going through enough, but they obviously don't know that.

Jimin closed his notebook and put it under his bed. He got up from his bed and looked in the mirror. He fixed his hair a little bit before grabbing his book bag and walking to his grandmothers room. "Hi Mama...I'm on the way to school now!"

Mama slowly turned to Jimin and gave him a small smile. "You have a good day, Jiminie, okay?"

"I will," Jimin smiled.

"Wipe that fake smile out from your face. I maybe old but I'm not stupid. You've been so sad lately? Don't you have anyone to go hang out with....?" She asked.

"What?" Jimin let out a nervous laugh. "Why would I be sad? I have you with me!"

Mama gave him a look. "Mhm...Jimin you need to go out more and be a teenager. You're 17 now. You've gotta live like you're young, wild, and free, but not too wild! I don't want you wound up in jail young man!"

Jimin laughed at that. "You don't have to worry about that Ma."

"Good. Now you have a good day at school okay? You have friends right? I want to meet them!"

"Maybe I'll invite them over, if any of them can come that is," Jimin told. "I'll see you after school!"

"Bye Jimin, take care!"

Jimin walked into school and looked around, watching the people in front of them as they socialized and walked to their classes. Jimin walked down the hallways when he spotted some familiar people.

Jin, Yoongi, and Solbi were together, despite the little argument that they had the other day. Taehyung was also with them and Jimin's heart felt happy that Taehyung was finally feeling better after his sickness.

Jimin looked at Taehyung until the two made eye contact. Jimin tried to look away but he couldn't. Taehyung smiled towards him as he waved. Jimin blushed, shyly waving back and turned away to dig in his locker before his other friends could see.

But someone did see.

Skye, Jackson, Jisoo, Hoseok, and Sana were around a group of people, Johnny, Ten, Mark, Taeyong, and Joy, when Skye watched Jimin's mannerism around Taehyung. Skye raised an eyebrow, thinking in his head why in the world was Jimin acting so weird around his boyfriend.

He didn't like it. He didn't like it one bit.

Jimin walked alone to Namjoon's class where he friends sat talking about there rehearsal. He sat down next to Minji and then she turned to him. "Hey Jimin! How have you been? You've been pretty distant lately."
