People ran, screamed, stared, and took out their phones after witnessing what they had just seen.

You hadn't even realized that you were alive, you were too in shock from the fall that you were crying into his shirt.

Your father ran up to the both of you and yelled, "Let her go, now!"

Yet, he ignored the order. He hissed and displayed his teeth for all to see, all while still holding you in his arms.

Your father backed away in fear and hid your mother behind him.

He was beginning to feel the burning of the now setting sun. The searing flesh forced him to decide it was best for him to leave.

So he did, and he took you with him.

-

You:

My best friend Y/BFF/N and I looked at the pamphlet that was handed out during our last hour of school.

The carnival was going to be in town, and the physics teachers were going to host a fundraiser for new classroom supplies. (The current ones have been here since like the 80's.)

"I'm pretty sure I can find your parent's names in some of these books." Mr. Feldman said to us.

"Yeah, that's how you know they're old." Another kid in the class said, causing one of his friends at his table to chuckle.

Choi San and Jung Wooyoung- the class clowns.

San was usually the one to make Wooyoung giggle, that's probably why they are friends. Because Wooyoung likes San's jokes and Wooyoung is the only one who finds San's jokes funny. (I mean San is pretty funny, but no one will ever admit it to him.)

Their friend group consists of seven members- San, Wooyoung, Yeosang, Mingi, Hongjoong, Seonghwa, and Yunho.

Jeong Yunho.

Yunho is the hottest guy in the senior class. He's tall, has a puppy-like face, he's got the most silky hair I've ever seen, and I've also heard-

"Y/N! Are you listening to anything I'm saying?!" Y/BFF/N yelled at me.

I stared at her, "No."

She rolled her eyes at me and started to walk out of the classroom.

I ran after her, realizing that class was over.

"Okay I'm listening now." I said once I caught up to her.

She scoffed, "Well I was thinking that we could help volunteer for the session directly after school next Friday."

I threw my head up to the sky and groaned, "But that's my nap time."

"Does it help if I tell you we get into the carnival for free when our session is done?" She said in a coaxing way.

Fixing my posture immediately a smile spread across my face, "Yes!"

Y/BFF/N laughed and gave me a high five, "That's my girl!"

We held hands as we walked through the hallway towards the lunchroom.

The rain pattered on as we walked. The loud showers of water droplets echoed around us.

Since it was after school on a Thursday, and there wasn't much to do, we wanted to waste time. We usually only walked to my house after school on a normal day anyway.

When we got to the lunchroom, we saw San and Wooyoung talking to Mr. Feldman.

They were looking at a paper that was laying on the table.

"We should probably sign up before someone takes our spot." Y/BFF/N whispered as we walked up to them.

"Alright boys, I've already told you that you can't work it everyday after school. It's against the rules and will get me into big trouble." Mr. Feldman had his arms crossed.

"Oh come on- how about we just write down someone else's names and just come anyway?" San asked.

Mr. Feldman shook his head. "You know what, since you boys are so desperate to do this, I'll let you boys take two days."

They looked at each other and high-fived while releasing a loud yes simultaneously. "We'll take both Friday after school and Saturday next week!"

Wooyoung went to get a pen out of his backpack, but was stopped by Y/BFF/N. "Not so fast," she blocked his hand, "we wanted next Friday after school." She motioned to the both of us.

"Well that's too bad, we were here first." San said, crossing his arms and putting his foot down.

"Excuse me, but you are already doing it another day, just be gentlemen and let us have Friday." She said, getting out her pen.

"No can do, Wooyoung and I have got some big plans with the gravitron." San patted Wooyoung on the shoulder.

"Yeah, we are trying to ride it until we puke." Wooyoung smiled sweetly.

"Okay, that's disgusting," I commented. "How about you let us save your stomachs, and give us the shift on Friday." I mimicked his smile.

He pouted at me in return.

"You know what, just give me the paper." Y/BFF/N said, moving the paper closer to her on the table. She began to write our names on the Friday slot.

"Oh no you don't." San said, snatching the pen from Wooyoung and pushing Y/BFF/N aside. He started to scratch our names out. Y/BFF/N started to push him, and they started yelling and shoving each other. Ultimately, ending up in one of those sissy slap fights.

Wooyoung and I just looked at each other, unfazed.

San and Y/BFF/N do this a lot- mostly because of how much of a suck up San is and with how much of an overachiever Y/BFF/N can be sometimes- it's not unusual for them to collide.

"Alright!" Mr. Feldman yelled, breaking them up. "How about this, he adjusted his sleeves, in order for you four to get along, you all will work the 4-7 shift on Friday and Saturday." He said while writing our names down.

"But that's not fair!" Y/BFF/N pouted.

"Hey- Mr Feldman called, shushing Y/BFF/N, You guys couldn't decide, so I decided for you." He smiled contentedly and capped his pen before he walked away.

SANs brows dipped furiously as he looked at Y/BFF/N, "Now look at what you did!"

"Oh what I did?!" Y/BFF/N yelled back seething, "I'm not the selfish meathead who couldn't let two girls have the Friday shift!"

They continued to argue as Wooyoung quietly motioned for us to walk away.

Once we turned a corner, they stopped talking. Wooyoung looked at me with wide eyes, "They're onto us."

Footsteps thudded quickly towards us and we started sprinting through the front doors.

I managed to get ahead of Wooyoung, and ran towards my house as he followed. It was still raining, and there were many times where the both of us almost slipped in the puddles we had been wading through.

Once we arrived at my house, we collapsed on the lawn, not caring at all that it was muddy.

San and Y/BFF/N weren't that far behind us, so they tackled us right as soon as we fell. We all laid on the ground in the mud laughing. Our chests rising and falling as we attempted to catch our breaths between our amused exhales.

"Ew! Worms!" Y/BFF/N yelled, standing up and dusting herself off.

"Ugh, bossy and a wuss, too? It's no wonder why you don't have a boyfriend." San said while rolling his eyes.

As Y/BFF/N was opening her mouth to argue back, my mother opened the front door and called for us to come inside.
