It was the next day during lunch,where the group sat at their everyday spot.
"Hey hyung,I told them to get the locker fixed but it'll take a while cause it is too damaged."Jungwon relayed the message to the one in front.
"Speaking of lockers,why was that girl there?"Sunghoon asked,with a tint of despite,pointing at the girl sitting far away with her friends.
"Who?"Niki questioned,placing down his tray.
"Oh right,you weren't there."
"Y/n?"
"Yeah"
"She was at the locker?"
"Yeah"
"Took her long enough to come to her senses?"
"What?you know her?"
"Duh,she's my table mate,the one who piles her books on the desk.You can barely see her face."Niki took a bite of the distracted Jay's fried chicken.
"Hey!!!"
"That's her locker?"Heeseung clarified.He probably misunderstood the girl yesterday for a stalker.
"Locker no.1"Jungwon concluded.He knew her locker for he helped with the assigning of lockers.
"The only one allocated there"
"That's bad,that place is literally on another planet.Can't imagine walking that far."Jay added.
"She's not a stalker or something is she?"The eldest questioned,still not convinced.
"Please,y/n is no where near that.She pisses me off sometimes"Niki sarcastically said.
"She's a nice person."Another voice joined.
"Sunoo hyung!can I have your chicken?"
"No!"
"How do you know?"
"How do you not know?She's in most of our classes.And she literally sits infront of you during Geography.MY CHICKEN!"
"I know but..."
"Now that you mention it,she did help me a couple times."Jay recalled his countless small favours he asks the girl to help him with.
"But she's kinda annoying to me.Pleaseeee,just one piece."
"That's cause you're unhelpful."Sunoo spat back at the younger,finishing the last piece of chicken.
"Niki's right,that girl ain't a stalker at all.She had the guts to talk back at me yesterday."Jake chuckled.
"What did she say?"
"Keep dreaming"

After school
He was already there,placing a clean pair of gym uniform into the locker.Ignoring his presence,I placed my books into my locker.I sensed him shift position.Closing the door,it revealed the one and only,leaning against the locker beside,arms folded across his chest.
"Yes?"
"Didn't expect that reply from you yesterday."He directly said.
I wasn't stupid.I knew his games,plus he started it first.
"I guess it surprised you."
Let's keep things shallow,on the surface.
"We're gonna see each other quite often now since I'm using that locker."
What is he trying to imply?
"Let's just be cool with each other.You know friends."
"Technically we already see each other quite often.We have a lot of classes together if you didn't realise"
I bet he doesn't know,even though I hang out with popular people like Yuna.
"I know,we share many classes.You aren't that good at maths right?"
I hissed at his comment.He was trying to attack me now.I never liked that smirk.
"I admit,I'm not the best but it doesn't matter.Besides,I don't like that subject."
Attacking me with my grades won't bring me down.I did quite well in school,getting decent grades for all my subjects.The only thing was that I struggled with a few subjects, and math was one of them.You can say I'm pretty slow in capturing the lesson and completing my work.Other then that,I didn't really face any issues with my school work.
She's a tough one.
He hummed a response,unsatisfied about my reply.
"Guess I'll see you around then."He lightly pat my shoulder,like we were already close friends.I flinched at his sudden touch,while he giggled at my discomfort.
"Relax,I don't bite."
Playboy,you and your flirty ways.
"By the way..."
As if he was a mind reader,
"I'm not a playboy."
I raised my brow,confused about his statement since he flirts around.
"I've never dated anyone,so you can't call me a playboy.Jay's an example of a playboy,dating and dumping multiple girls for his own pleasure.Even though he said he would stop,cause he already found his true love."
He explained,mumbling the last part,barely audible.I knew what a playboy was,he didn't have to explain.He may not be one but he acts like one,flirting with others and then harshly rejecting them after a confession.
"So you flirt for fun?Rejecting people for your own pleasure,I don't see a difference."
He sighed.
"Look,I know you may think that but I don't do it to everyone.You don't see me flirting to those stalker fans or winking to people in class right?I can't help it that they find me attractive and they come after me.But I know I don't voluntarily put myself in a situation that I wouldn't want to be in.Maybe I do tease people here and there but nothing more.If you don't believe me then go observe it yourself."
I may have cross the line
I pursed my lips into a thin line,hearing his somewhat sincere yet joking words.
"You can stop there,don't have to explain it further.Sorry,I crossed the line.I'll leave first."
Changing directions,I excused myself,giving space for him.
A slightly longer chapter<3
How come the paragraphs are never spaced out wide enough like the drafts???

Fanfiction"That's your locker?" "Yeah,I don't use it though." "Why not?" "Isn't it obvious why?" He took a step closer to me,examining my features.The smile turned into a smirk as he leaned towards my ear, whispering in a low voice "Then... use it from now on...
