The weekend was over and today I was going to have to face Jungkook after what happened the other day and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't anxious. I put on my shoes, grab my bike and make my way to the school. After I was done putting the lock on my bike, I make my way to the classroom. I had decided I would act exactly like I did before with Jungkook but when I entered the classroom and saw him sitting at his desk, his head resting on his palm with his eyes closed, I couldn't help but stare.
"Oh hey, Tae. You're here late" Namjoon pulled me out of my daydream when he sat down at his desk.
"I came with my bike" I clear my throat and look at my friend. "So, do you think the teachers are going to be handing back the exams today?"
"Probably most of them, yeah. I can't wait" I smile and nod before going to my desk at the same time the teacher came in. The entire lecture was spent listening to the teacher and doing exercises until the end when she took out a pile of papers.
Finally! She asked Jungwoo to hand them to everyone and I took my time to look at everybody's reaction. Most of them looked relieved and a few quickly hid their sheets under their desk. I got mine and smiled, apart from two mistakes, I aced the exam.
"Most of you did really well, guys. Special mention to the top three students, Namjoon, Taehyung and Jungkook" The teacher smiled and dismissed the classroom.
"What the hell? "I whipped my head to the side.
"Guess I'm going to be in your life for longer than you thought" Jungkook offered me a smug smile as he got up to leave.
"I won't fall for this. I know you cheated somehow" I say as I glue myself closer to him.
"Just admit it, I'm better than you in every aspect. Go cry to mommy, you're not the special kid you thought you were" He bumped me in the shoulder and left the classroom.
How did he do it? He never even wrote something in his notebooks. I groan and leave the room to find my friends.
I bumped into Yoongi and then we found Namjoon.
"Oh hey, guys. What were you talking about?" He asks when he saw us.
"I was just telling Yoongi that Jungkook is in the top three students of our classroom" I scoff.
"Oh, yeah. Did not see that coming" Namjoon chuckled.
"You seem pretty unhappy, Tae" Yoongi nudged me.
"I can't believe he's in the top three!"
"Why does it bother you so much?" Namjoon was sitting down on a bench eating a cereal bar.
"I don't know" I sighed and sat down next to him. "So, did you guys hear about the play?"
"Oh yeah, I think the auditions are going to be held on the first week after the dance, right?" Yoongi stuffed his hands in his pocket.
"I think I might audition-"
"You totally should, Tae!" Jungwoo had appeared out of nowhere and was now standing in front of us. "I was walking by when I heard you" He smiled sheepishly and scratched his neck.
"Well I think I will, do you know if anyone else is auditioning?"
"I think Doyoung said he wanted to give it a try but he doesn't want lead role, he's already been lead in almost every play he's done and he's super busy with fourth year." Jungwoo pouted in a way that communicated the harsh reality of last year students.
"I hope you get the part, Taehyung. That way we can cheer you on"
"You better come cheer me on after all I've done for your music club" I roll my eyes playfully. "How about you, Jungwoo? You interested?"
"I want to help with the props! I love all things artistic" Jungwoo smiled and clapped his hands in a cute way.
We ended up staying at the bench talking about the play until the bell rang. Namjoon, Jungwoo and I got up and waved goodbye to Yoongi and left back to our classroom.
During our last period, the teacher called me over to her desk.
"Taehyung, I'm going to give you all a project to do in pairs. Now, I know you usually pair up with Namjoon but I've noticed that Jungkook doesn't talk to anyone in this class except with you."
"But we're not friends!" I add in a hurry. I knew where she was going with this, and it definitely wasn't a good idea.
"Well then this will give you a chance to become friends. He doesn't talk to anyone, Taehyung. And I've seen you two talking before. It will be good"
"He's in music club with Namjoon! They probably talk more" I tried to convince the teacher even if it meant throwing Namjoon in there instead of me.
"And yet he still chooses to speak with you instead of him" Her tone was a bit snarky. "You're pairing with him and it's final, Taehyung" She offered me a small smile and I groaned.
What bad luck. I walk back to my desk and wait for the teacher to announce the group pairing.
Namjoon ended up being partners with Jackson, a student he was really close to. Lucky him... When the teacher announced my name and Jungkook's, I turned to look at him. I thought he would be throwing daggers at me or would have smacked me already, but he didn't say anything.
The bell rang and I went over to his desk.
"So, how should we proceed?" I ask him.
"We can start by each investigating separately and then we can share what we found. After that we'll get together to mount the project and the presentation. How does it sound?" He closed his bag and looked at me.
"Sounds great" I furrow my eyebrows; this wasn't what I was expecting at all. "So, you really don't have a problem with working with me?"
"Why would I? You're a grade A student and as you have seen, I care about my grades. We're going to ace this presentation and then never speak again"
"This took a dark turn" I chime.
"Don't get too attached, student. We're not friends. Alright, see you" I watched him walk away and smiled, this was going a lot better than how I thought it would. I grabbed my bag and went to lunch thinking about ways to use this time to get to know Jungkook and obviously, befriend him.
