Chapter Thirteen: New School

"You ready Lix?" Hyunjin called from the hall. I loosened my tight tie slightly and undid my top button. This uniform was stifling.

"I'll be there in a minute." I called back to him as I began arranging my hair. "Are the love birds ready?" I heard him cackle down the hall and smirked to myself. Hyunjin had such an evil laugh at times and it always put me in a good mood.

Jisung and I had finished our previous school year at home. We had been pulled out of school after the news of our father had made it on to national television. Jisung had taken the brunt of the bullying, and Mom had made a wise choice.

"Oi, stop admiring yourself and hurry up Princess. You're gonna make us late!" Hyunjin walked in and ushered me away from the mirror I was staring into.

"Who's car are we taking?" I asked as we joined our brothers in the hall. Hyunjin tripped me so I quickly ruffled his hair, ruining his purposely placed 'messy' pony.

"Fuck you!" He murmured as he let it down and put it up once more, trying to arrange the loose strands perfectly around his slender face. His lips pursed together tightly, and his eyes narrowed at me. I couldn't help staring at him.

"Sorry Hyung, I was trying to tidy it." I batted my eyelids at him and pretended to be super cute. He shoved me and I chuckled. Hyunjin and I were always like this these days. It felt like he was my right arm, and I always enjoyed his company. He was a prankster and we both enjoyed getting Leeknow riled up.

"Stop flirting and hurry up." Leeknow instructed as he patted me on the back. I tripped him slightly and both Hyunjin and I burst out laughing.

"For fucks sake! Can you two be serious for five seconds!" He berated us. Hyunjin and I exchanged a look and then burst out laughing again.

"Ah! Young love!" Jisung said as he shot heart fingers at us. Hyunjin and I screwed up our faces at the same time and shook our heads hard.

"That's you two. JiSuckingLeeKnowOffUng, and LeeInJisungKnow." Hyunjin jibed.

"You're just jealous because you're both lonely and won't come out of the closet you're so clearly in. Don't you remember when you used to suck my face off?" Leeknow asked me with a smirk. I punched his arm and groaned. I saw the jealousy flash over Jisung's face, and he pouted moodily.

"Don't remind me!" I said as I pretended to gag.

"Boys! Move! You're already late!" Mom instructed as she appeared from the kitchen. She ushered us out of the door and I walked with Hyunjin and the others.

We arrived at school and I was excited to get back to some kind of normality. Life had been way too crazy. Jisung was into this whole conspiracy theory about our new step father, and I didn't want to deal with the drama.

There was one thing I hadn't anticipated though. The reaction to the two new guys hanging out with Hyunjin and Leeknow. The two most popular, and most feared, guys in school.

"Oh my gosh, aren't they the guys who's dad died?" I heard someone whisper.

"Wow, doesn't Leeknow look dreamy today?"

"That's Felix and that's Jisung, remember from the stabbing?"

"Uh, I wish Hyunjin would notice me."

These were just some of the comments I heard as we all walked down the halls together. Not that I cared. Leeknow draped his arm around Jisung's shoulder and I could see my brother visibly shaking. I knew he was worried. I reached out and ruffled his hair affectionately.

I had come to appreciate Jisung, and his little quirks more than I ever had. He wasn't just my brother anymore, he was truly my best friend.

The day was boring and my classes were filled with people whispering about me and who I was. It was awful to hear my personal life, my suffering and pain, become gossip to strangers I didn't know.
