I finally reached my home and Imani bids farewell yelling out loud how she'll tell me if anything interesting happens between that boy and her.

I don't know if I really care about it but I awkwardly smile and go inside my house laying on my bed exhausted.

My mom knocks on the door asks me if I'd like to eat anything.

"Yeah, a snack would be nice," I say to her exhausted from school.

She leaves the room as I go back to stare at the dull white popcorn ceiling. I close my eyes thinking to myself.

I have to take off my makeup and then study.

I'm too tired to do anything though. Usually, people who have mirrors are energetic and don't get tired, so they get more work done.

So why is it me like this? Why did I have to have that stupid broken mirror?

Never mind that it already happened and I can't change it. I need to move on. I'll just have to study hard and get through high school.

Everything will go okay.

As I was studying for my ceaseless tests and quizzes I suddenly got a text from Namjoon.

namjoon

you

Kim Namjoon

nj: Hello

I wonder if I should reply to him. I mean I do need a break anyway so why not.

Hey, what's up?

nj: I wanted to tell you something.

Oh what is it?

nj: I think you have a broken mirror.

What the hell? How the hell does he know that?

What are you talking about? I have a normal mirror.

nj: You don't need to lie to me. I know you don't.

I began shaking and I could feel sweat trickling from my forehead. How could he figure it out? No one ever figured it out, ever. Is he going to tell the whole school? My future is going down the drain if he tells.

What if he tells the whole school?

What if I get kicked out?

Please don't tell anyone....I'll do anything.

nj: No you don't have to worry. Actually, I have a broken mirror too.

He does? I did have a feeling but...I didn't know he actually would admit to me that he did.

You do??? Send me a picture so I know you're not lying. 

I wait for a couple of minutes and I saw his broken mirror.
