scarlet (EXO version)

its first day and I'm officially hating it

"Hey! Wacha doing so early?" 

Kyungsoo flinched at the sudden exclaim, worrying  the stack of papers in his lap. He had decided to take an hour spare to collect himself for the first day. Getting up early and sitting alone in the school campus about an hour earlier than expected wasn't much of a big deal. The 7 am had struck the clock with a chilly fever of dry wind, quite opposite to the brisk humid climate someone would expect in mid July.

The school campus was pretty much, flushed with foliage and kyungsoo had successfully secured himself a seat on one of the garden benches with a few sheets of calculus in his possession.

"Hello, I'm talking to you." He sighed. The man seemed to have vowed to disturb him that morning.

"Hi." He tried to make short answers so that the latter would sense his disinterest in conversation and leave him alone.

"Why are you so early?!" It seems like his plan wasn't very effective.

"Sorry if that bothers you." 

"Oh! No no no no no! I was just curious. Which year?" 

"2021" he shrugged and squeezed himself away from the strange man.

There was a low pitch chuckle muffled under the small whisper of 'as expected'. Kyungsoo, had now clutched himself tighter in the farthest corner of the bench. Series of oddly fast blazing air slashed at the back of his head in such a boom that his tiny frame shivered from head to toe. The pages in his hand were long gone but before he could pick 'em, the stranger caught 'em all in one smooth swift. 

The smaller could only stare blankly with astonished clouded eyes as the pages were lazily dropped in his lap.

The garden got engulfed in a crisp silence. The wind came to halt and soft rustles of dry leaves filled up the vacant space. The haze in Kyungsoo's mind faded and before he knew it, the stranger was gone!

"C'mon, we'll be late for maths!" Kyungsoo groaned for the nth time as an overly enthusiastic Taehyung dragged him towards his arithmetic class.

Fortunately, by the grace of God, his schedule had each one of his new friends in all of his classes.

Maths: Taehyung 

Anatomy: Jungkook 

Recess 

Mandarin: Jackson 

Computers: bambam 

History: Yungeom

Recess 

Personality development: Jimin 

English: all of them.

That thought was more than just comforting. He had literally spent the last night mourning over how he will face an entire set of new people alone. He wasn't a big talker and couldn't hold a proper conversation. Heck, he couldn't even start a conversation. Having them around him was a kind of boon. 

Maybe, it wasn't. Being with them meant being close with Namjoon and Jinyoung. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't convince himself to think of them without being sus. That seemed quite stupid as Namjoon was literally his roommate who just happened to have the similar eye shade and Jinyoung's condition could've been a perfectly times coincidence. 

Kyungsoo had also received some letters that morning, telling him to feel comfortable and not to worry cause 'they' are taking care of everything. He just wanted to bang his head on something. Why was everything getting so tensed up with his life.
