im nayeon - love countdown

10

you slung your backpack over your shoulder before making your way through the school gate. you've officially entered the seven circles of hell and you couldn't be more depressed.

as soon as you caught a glimpse of lisa, you immediately ducked your head and turned the other way. she was your generic jock. incredibly pretentious and obviously she had a victim to bully but sadly, it was you. you were that victim.

"hey loser!" you heard as there were a few snickers behind you from her and her friends. you sighed as you turned around and stood up straight. you watched as she strutted over, but one thing you could notice that she didn't was one of her shoelaces were untied.

making her way over to you, she accidentaly stepped on one of her laces and immediately tripped, landing flat on her face. her 'friends' looked at her with such distain, you wanted to laugh so badly at her but if you did, you knew you'd be quickly silenced with a fist to your face. you mumbled a quick 'excuse me' as you scurried past them and went inside your classroom building.

you swiftly made your way through the morning crowd as you made it into the only class you had for today. you took out your laptop, ready to start typing things down but when you saw a random man walk in to the class and stand in front of the class, you knew today was your day.

for the rest of the class period, you worked on your own thing, doodling and sketching in your sketchbook completely unaware of the time passing by. soon enough, you were leaving the school gates and making your way to the nearest café.

you decided to take the scenic route today, passing by the local park and admiring that things you once took granted for. you were truly happy today. even though happiness was something you thought you wouldn't feel during your years at hel- school, the joy of seeing your bully fall flat on her face and the absence of your professor today didn't fail to bring a smile on your face. you mean, what could be better than that? absolutely nothing. pure bliss is what you'd call it.

blinded by your small glimpse of happiness, you carelessly turned the corner of a building and bumped into someone, knocking the both of you over. as you fell over, you saw a cup of steaming hot coffee slip out of the person's hands and spill all over you.

you winced aloud as you quickly got up and looked down at your clothes. you shouldn't have worn white today. but the most worrying part of it all was how the liquid got into your bag. everything was in there. you immediately took your laptop out and tried to turn it on.

"no!" you exclaimed as you kept pressing the power button of your laptop with no avail. you noticed the girl you bumped into was standing as she dusted herself off and quickly made her way to you.

"are you okay?"

you gave her no response as she looked at you trying your hardest to try and turn your laptop on.

"this was so expensive!" you muttered under your breath as you closed it and gave up, "god damn it..."

she had never felt so bad in her life. she immediately tapped your shoulder and asked you, "would you let me buy you a new one?"

"what?" you glanced over at her, almost dropping dead from how she beautiful she looked, "uh... no... you don't have to."

"c'mon, i feel so bad! it's the least i could do!" the girl complained as she examined you and your items," i messed up your clothes, drenched your books, and broke your laptop!"

you wanted to decline the offer but... it was dark times. you saved up a lot of money to buy that laptop but now everything on it was also gone. you hated to agree with her but it really was the least she could do.

"... fine." you sighed, "how can i contact you?"

her eyes lit up as she pulled out her phone. strange, you thought. why would she be excited about losing money? "here!" she put out her phone in front of you. "put your number in and i'll call you!"

you put in your number, putting your name in as a contact and handing it back to her, making her glance over it. "alright... y/n! I'll see you around okay?"

holy shit. you loved the way your name sounded coming off her tongue. you almost didn't respond but you caught yourself as you quickly responded and packed your stuff.

she walked away not long after but not before waving you goodbye, "i'm nayeon by the way!"

you waved her goodbye before just talking to yourself. "nayeon huh? what a pretty name."
