High school...the place where everything and everyone sucks pretty much all the time. Or at least that's how it feels.
What's one of the first things you think of when you hear the words 'high school'? How about the word 'cliques'? Oh yes, we have plenty of those at Bangtang high school, and can I just say, at my school all of the cliques despise each other. Or at least that's what I used to think.
You see my so called 'Clique' is the choir department kids. We aren't exactly what you would think to call a clique, but that's what we are. Now that my bestfriend Jungkook and I are seniors we're in charge of it. So I guess you could call it sort of a joint presidency. The two of us have been super close for pretty much our whole lives, but lately since our senior year has started we've been drifting apart.
He's been hanging out with a bunch of other guys instead of me. And not just guys, but every other popular guy in school. It hasn't affected me too much but I knew something was up. Ok. I lied. Its been killing me. Looking back... it has affected me alot. Now that I think about it...my life started to fall apart some time last week when he showed up at my house with flowers.
I scampered down the stairs from my room at the sound of the doorbell. "I'll get it mom!"
Once I reached the door I unlocked it and flung it open revealing Jungkook standing on the front step with a bouquet of tulips.
"Hey Em."
"Hi...Jungkook." I said warily.
He nervously looked at the ground creating an awkward silence between us.
"Kookie, why are you acting like this? We're best friends...you have no reason to act so uncomfortable."
He didn't respond right away and just looked up at me while he brushed some of his hair out of his face.
"Can we talk...?"
"Yeah, of course. Do you want to come inside?"
"No. I need to make this fast. I have to get over to Suga's house."
"Oh now I get it. You're trying to apologize for the fact that you have basically ditched me as a friend..., let alone a best friend, in order to hang out with every other popular guy in school. Thanks."
"Yeah,... but its not exactly like that. If you just let me explain-."
"No Jungkook. I don't want you to explain. I just want the old you back. Feel free to come over again when he comes back."
"But I-"
I slammed my front door in his face and ran up the stairs to my room.
The moment I flung myself on my bed, I started balling.
I just wanted him back in my life.
I mean wouldn't you do anything to get the person that you're in love with back...?
