Oh" I say "We are study buddies" for some reason the word 'study buddies' feels so awkward and I regret saying it.

"O--o--h" he stutters "C--c---o--o--l" Why was he stuttering?

"I don't remember you being in this form" I say curiously.

"Ah, I was in ummmm America for ummmm f--family reasons" he replys still stuttering. Maybe he has an actual stutter.

"Cool" I say "so what works for you?".

"Ummm....." he looks at me blankly.

"Would tonight work for you at my house?" I ask "We could go straight after school"

"Yeah" he replys a little to eagerly. I raise an eyebrow. What exactly did this guy think we're going to do at my house?

Maybe I should have said a coffee shop or the library but it's too late now.

"Okay, meet me at the statue after school" I say and then walk off. Well, that was awkward. Hopefully study sessions won't be too akward since I hate studying. The next two lessons come and go. The afternoons seem to go by quickly at this school and before I know it, I'm heading towards the statue.Out of the blue, a boy blocks my path but not just any boy. My bully, Park Jimin.

"Hello Shrek" he smirks and I try to get around him but he keeps blocking my path.

What do you want now?" I say, "I've give you all my lunch money"

"I w n t y o" he whispers it so quietly I can only make out those few letters.

"What?" I say.

"I said I want you to stop existing because you're hurting my eyes" he practically shouts this so everyone can hear. I hear a few giggles and my head drops lower than my grades.

"I might not be pretty but at least I'm not an asshole" I retort weakly and try to shove him aside. Instead, he pushes me against a locker. God, this whole school is like something out of a drama. More specifically a kdrama.

"What did you say to me, ugly bitch?" the disgust in his voice makes me recoil in hurt.

"It doesn't matter anymore" I answer. I manage to get out of his grasp finally and head to the statue. I didn't feel like crying that time. I just felt numb. I see Hoseok, Taehyung and Namjoon sitting together and laughing. Hmph, so the boy doesn't have a stutter anymore.

"Hi" I say rather depressingly.

"Why did you take so long and why do you sound so unhappy?" Namjoon said concerned.

"Ugh, I've just had a stressful day with classes and all." I reply rather truthfully. Classes have been pretty stressful for me and because I'm not that smart, I'm getting hell from my parents about grades.

"Ready to go?" I say to Taehyung. He nods and I exit with him before they can say anything else.

I then see Jungkook and wave. I  look beside him and see a really pretty girl with long black hair and green piercing eyes. For some reason, I feel a pang of jealously. Who is she? Why is he with her? Is that his study buddy? Jungkook comes up to me with this super pretty girl.

Jungkook does a once over on Taehyung and gives me a certain look that I don't quite understand. I look over at the pretty girl and give him a look of "I bet your happy". Nobody speaks until the pretty girl breaks the silence.

"Hi I'm Lola and I'm going to Jungkooks house to study, you know the whole study thing" she smiles as if it's going to lighten the mood.

It doesn't and it just comes off as plain awkward.

"Are we going to go?" I say awkwardly.

"Yes, lets go" Jungkook hurriedly says and we all start to walk alone in silence. Nobody speaks for the whole walk and I'm just about to die of exhaustion until we finally get there. "See you tomorrow" I say

"Bye, I guess..." he looks over to Taehyung once again and then goes into his house and I go into mine. I made sure my mum was out today because she would just make things super weird because mums are like that.

Nice house" Taehyung says, honesty showing through his voice. I really like that this guy is an open book. Too many peoplewere way too good at hiding there feelings. This could go well. He's nice and I have doritos.

We go into the sitting room and start unpacking our stuff. I decide we should do maths first since I'm pretty good at it and don't want to look like an idiot. For some reason, I thought he wasn't going to be very smart but he was really good at taking notes and doing equations. He is nearly as smart as Namjoon but nobody can  beat Namjoon he is the smartest.

After an hour of maths, we moved onto science which I wasn't very good at. He helped me though and we ended up being a pretty good team. I really like this guy. He is funny and kind and smart AND my friends like him! Maybe he could hang out with us.

After a while, studying is really taking it's toll on me and I can't help thinking about what Jungkook and that girl Lola are doing. Are they making out? Maybe even further? I convince Taehyung to go with me to Jungkooks house by saying something like they have really good study snacks and they might share. They proably do but I just need to see what they're up too.

I start making my way to the door and I accidently trip on my bag. Unlike kdramas, Taehyung just watches me fall and then helps me up afterwards. We carry on with our misson anyway and by the time we get to Jungkooks house even though it's two seconds away it seems like we've been trying to get there for half an hour. I knock on the door and wait. After a couple of minutes, Jungkook opens the door confused. I've never had the nerve to go to his house when he asks if I want to so he proably thinks it's super weird I'm going over there.

"Snacks?" Taehyung asks happily, oblivious to my ulterior motives.

"Sure" Jungkook answers still looking very confused. We go in and I was actually right. There were so many snacks it was like food heaven. We ate food and talked. Lola was nice just a bit weird and it seems like they were just doing studying. Why doI feel relieved that nothing else happened? Why when I hear Jungkooks name I get butterflies? Do I have a crush on Jungkook?

No, this can't be happening! I have a crush on Jungkook. Me, Laila, the most awkward person when it comes to love has a crush and on a person I walk to school with. Ugh, life sucks right now. After snacks and my relisation of my crush, it was pretty dark so Taehyung said his goodbyes and went home. I can't believe this is happening. Ugh. I go to my bedroom, lock the door and wait for sleep.
