"Why not." A voice says behind me as I jump in my chair.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I freeze. Oh crap.

"Oh hey Mr. Seo.." I say in a nervous tone. He clears his throat.

"Please see me during my study hall period Sunoo."

"What time is that at?" I say.

"It's during 6th period." Just my luck, that's my lunch.

"Okay, see you then." He walks away and starts teaching the lesson.

As he's teaching the lesson I think back to earlier this morning and how cold Niki acted towards me, I know I totally ran away from him yesterday but to be fair he was getting on my nerves, acting like we were close. I could try and apologize but I know he would act like he doesn't know me, after all that's what he always did when I tried to talk to him even if it was about Jungwon. I hate having a crush on a straight man.

"Sunoo." Mr. Seo says.

"Hm uh what?" I say in confusion.

"What's the answer to question 13?" He says in a disappointed tone. I look at the board and try and quick refresh myself on the lesson. 'Hmmm Sunoo think.' 'I got it!' I think to myself.

"Goryeo." I say confidently. He lets out a loud sigh while the other students in my class laugh at my answer.

"Sunoo, that's what we learned last semester." He says, I know he probably wants to call me stupid but he doesn't.

"Oh right sorry." I say.

"Once again, you can see me during 6th period since you weren't paying attention and on top of that you didn't finish the homework." Are you kidding me right now.

"Okay." My day is going so good today. I think to myself sarcastically.

"Class dismissed." He finally says.

"Nice one." Changmin says in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, yeah I know I was just thinking about stuff."

"You always are." He says in a not surprised tone. As we part ways I head to second period.

As I walk away with Jungwons arm tightly latched with mine I just want to punch that Jake kid in the face.

"Why are you so mad Niki?" Jungwon asks.

"I'm just fed up with that Jake kid." I say, I know this whole thing is babyish but he acts like he is cooler than everyone else at this school when he's not.

"Can you please let go of my arm now it hurts." I laugh at him and unlatch my arm from his.

"Yeah." I say. I just want this day to be over already.

"Okay, I'll see you at lunch." Jungwon says as he goes the opposite way of me. I walk into my biology class late, like always. I know my teacher is tired of me by now but I really don't mind. I get good grades in her class and that's what matters.

"Oh hello Niki, nice to see you showed up." She says in a annoyed tone.

"Yeah, sorry my lock was jammed." I say. A lie obviously.

"That's what you said last Friday Niki." Mrs. Baek says.

"Did I? Sorry." I say while walking to my seat. She has a good memory.

"Okay class so today we will be doing a partner activity to help you, 'she pauses' socialize." Oh great, I don't like anyone in this class. She starts to name partners. I have a nervous feeling in my stomach, I hate group and partner projects.
