Lanten High

Chapter 3

I woke up dreadful. The sky was gloomy and I overall just felt terrible. I almost got raped and if it wasn't for San. I would've probably been killed, who knows. I just feel really terrible about myself. I checked to the opposite side that I was looking at the clock and realized it was almost the time I had to wake up and go to school. I get up and slowly walk my way to the bathroom, with my hand hanging down low. I entered the shower and turned the water on hot. I like taking a warm showering in the morning, the warmness feels good on my cold complexion, and dreadful morning, I have woken up to. After I was done taking a shower I put some makeup over my eyes to make them seem less puffy and less dead like. I don't even know how I would survive today. All that's going to be on my mind is what happened last night. I gotten dressed and went downstairs and into the kitchen where I met Auntie Zulina cooking. She has a bright smile on her face, which I don't see too often and she's playing calming music. Not too upbeat, just calming. I sit down and stare at the kitchen table cloth. She soon finishes and sets my plates down.

"Hey how are you, sweetheart." She asked with a smile on her face trying to make me lighten up.

"I'm alright, I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night."

"Alright, have some food, you got school soon."

"Okay." I said with a sigh. I really don't want to do anything today. I must get my education though. To make my mom proud.

I finished eating my food, and checked my phone. I looked onto my Instagram and saw the people at the party, having fun, then I got a notification. Choi_san.-. Followed you. You must be joking with me. I checked his Instagram. I saw his pictures with his friends and fangirls in the comments. You got to be joking. I was lost in my thoughts when my Auntie Zulina started poking me, yelling my name.

"Who is that there?" She said with a smirk.

"Uhhh NO onE." I quickly put my phone in my pocket and got up. I put my plate in the sink and went back to my Aunty Zulina who was now waiting at the door with her keys. I got my bag and everything I needed, and went with her to school. She dropped me off and I waved at her bye. She did as well. I went inside and went to my locker to get my belongings for class. I closed my locker and turned around to see him. He put his two hands on each side of the locker with me in between both his arms. My cheeks started to flush up.

"Hey babes." He said with a smirk. I looked at him and I saw his friends behind him on the other side of the hallway.

"Umm. hello." I said shyly."

He started getting closer to my face. I started backing up towards the locker and putting my head towards the side so I didn't have to look at him. Why is he doing this?

"Why are you looking away, babes. We didn't even get to dance yesterday." He slowly moved his hands to grab mine. I tried to pull away but he wouldn't let go.

"HEY LET HER GO!" I heard a scream from across the hall. I looked over to the other side of the hall where that voice was coming from. I saw Wooseok running towards us and pulling San off of me. "What the hell is your issue, dude." He said angrily. San and his friends just started laughing as he got closer to Wooseok.

"The nerd has gained some balls I see." He said laughingly. Wooseok got fet up and charged at San putting his fist up as he wanted so badly to punch him, but was stopped by Mr. Hwang, our first period english teacher.

"That is enough for you two. Go to the principal's office now! I'll meet you there." He demanded and the both went and Mr. Hwang looked at me. He gave me the attendance paper and told me to go inside and take attendance, and to have the kids work on what he put on the board until he comes back. "You understand what to do?" I nodded at him and he left to go follow the boys to the principal's office. The bell rang and no one was in the halls; it was just me and the papers. I quickly ran inside the classroom. People stared at me when I walked into the room. I nervously laughed and walked into the front of class. I looked at everyone as they all stared at me and waited for me to say something.

"Uh Hey. Mr. Hwang had to go to the principal's for a few minutes. He told me to take attendance. So if I call your name please say here or something I don't know." I read the names off the list and got all the attendance. "Alright, thank you. Mr. Hwang also wants everyone to work on the items he placed on the board." I left the attendance papers on his desk and quietly went to my desk with my head down.

"Hey Sara, why did Mr. Hwang go to the principal's office?" Dayhun said while looking at me and asked.

"Some student fighting happened." I said quietly towards her. She gave the "Oh." Expression and we continued working. All the sudden the intercom came on in our class.

"Can I have Min, Sara. To the Principal's office." My eyes widened and I gulped nervously. I was stared at and San's friends laughed and snickered as I got up and went out of the room, and walked to the office. When I arrived the lady at the desk pointed me into the direction of the office. I entered the office, where I saw Mr. Hwang, Wooseok, and San sitting there.

"Come in and sit down Sara." The principal said and pointed to the seat next to San. Why does the only empty chair have to be next to him? "So, Sara, these boys were in a fight, and you were there, do you know why they were fighting?" I looked at the principal and my heart was beating fast. I didn't want to get either of them in trouble.

"It was because of.." Before I could finish my sentence the fire alarm went off, my ears are sensitive to the noise and I closed my eyes and put my head down, covering my ears. I started to smell the smoke outside. I opened my eyes back open and saw the fire outside the office entrances in the hallway spreading fast into the room. I saw Mr. Hwang, Wooseok, and the Principal running, quickly out of the room before it spreaded too much. My head and vision started to spin and I closed my eyes as I felt myself getting picked up and the man started running. I opened my eyes slowly as my hands fell to my side. It was San carrying me. He was crying and yelling.

"I'M SORRY. I'm such an asshole. I'm sorry Sara. Please stay with me." I looked slowly to my left, everything was blocked by fire. Except the window. San didn't know what to do. I pointed slowly to the window with the little strength I had, also at the janitor's broom. He placed me down slowly on the ground putting his jacket on the sides of me to protect me from any glass and fire. He grabbed the broom and brutally hit the window with it. It broke in many pieces, he took his shirt off to push the glass outside, to make a bigger hole. Once it was big enough he grabbed me and jumped outside the window. He took me at least 10 yards away from the school before placing me on the ground. My senses are a lot more sensitive than a regular persons. Along with my lungs exposed to a lot of smoke. I was fainting slowly as I saw San, checking on me. He was still crying, pleading for me not to fall asleep. I slowly closed my eyes as I heard the fire trucks arrive, and take on the fire. Then everything went black.
