Felix

September 12

Eighteen. The most dreaded birthday of anyone's life. It's one mark and your fate is  determined. This is the kind of thing that can change your life. Luckily mine has already been determined. I'm just worried about Jisung. He turns eighteen in 2 days.

"Lee Felix," a shrill voice hollers, interrupting my thoughts.

I totally forgot I was in English.

"Can you explain the difference between the first book we read as a class and the second book you all should have read on your own time?"

I stand up and bow my head, ashamed knowing I haven't been paying attention. "No Ms. I can't."

"And why is that?"

"Um, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

    "Please Lee, pay attention next time."

    "Yes, sorry." I say as I bow again before taking my seat.

    Some time passes and class is almost over. I still have no idea what we're doing. Ms. Keisha starts walking over to my desk.

    "Can we talk after class please?"

    "Yeah sure," I say. I'm a little scared to see what she wants.

    Ding Dong!

    I go over to Ms. Keisha's desk.

    "Hi, you said you wanted to see me."

    "Oh yes, hi. I've just realized that you haven't been paying attention in my class lately. Your work is also lacking effort. You're the top student in the class. That's not like you. I was just wondering if there's something on your mind that's distracting you?"

"No, I'm fine," I lied.

"Ok well know that you can come to me if anything pops up."

"Ok, thanks."

I walk out of class and as always, Hyunjin and Changbin are waiting for me.

"What took you so long," Changbin asked.

"Yeah, we were waiting out here for like three days," Hyunjin exaggerated.

"Ms. Keisha just wanted to talk to me for a second," I answered.

"Well you gotta hurry up and get your stuff. We have to meet the boys at the café in like ten minutes," Changbin said.

"Ok, just meet me in the car, I'll be there in like 2 minutes."

I give Changbin a quick kiss on the cheek and go to get my stuff from my locker.
