Nobody spoke about Vernon's behaviour to the teacher, everyone being unsure about it, just deciding that it was best to leave the younger to Seungkwan and hope for the best.
The teacher was just finishing up the registration, when the door burst open and stumbling in came both Junhui and Wonwoo, who Seungcheol had only just noticed wasn't there beforehand.
"Sorry" Jun spoke, while Wonwoo just walked in and took his seat.
"Your fine, I'm glad you at least came in" it was often for these boys just to not come in because they don't want to.

"Anyway, I'll be back later for sign out, don't cause too much trouble for me today please" the boys all nodded, allowing their teacher to leave.
Jeonghan turned to Jun and Wonwoo.
"What happened to the two of you then?" He spoke, smirking in their direction, it was at this time that the rest of the class noticed the pink glitter covering Wonwoo's uniform and the smiley face stickers on Jun.
"What are you talking about hyung?" It was jun that spoke, while Wonwoo just pulled out his phone.
"The pink glitter and stickers" it seemed upon hearing this the two now only realised their state, jun quickly took the stickers that had been on his face.
"Oh urr my sister likes to mess around, and Wonwoo had walked into my house to just recive a face filled of pink glitter this morning" nobody thought too much about it and excepted what jun said.

Making his way to the roof of the school, Seungkwan couldn't help but worry about Vernon, his best friend was know to be chilled and laid back, not angry enough to throw scissors into a wall, but Seungkwan knew the reason, he knew the moment he saw the boy walk into the classroom covered in bruises. He pushed the door open, smiled softly when he found Vernon sitting on the floor back against the wall, eyes closed with his head phones on.
The older didn't speak, knowing the other wouldn't hear him, instead he made his way over to the slightly younger boy, sitting down next to him, waited for the other to take his headphones off in his own time, knowing he won't respond well to them being taken from him forcefully, Seungkwan knew once Vernon was ready to talk he will take his headphones off himself.

It was five minutes until Vernon finally moved pushing the music and then bringing the headphones down to rest on his neck.
"Hey Sollie" Seungkwan spoke first
"Hi hyung" this short sentence told Seungkwan a lot about the boys mood, the younger very rarely called him hyung, only ever doing it when he was really down, Seungkwan didn't answer straight away instead just putting his arm around the younger and brought the boys head onto his shoulder, giving him physical comfort.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He spoke softly
"No, can we just stay like this for a bit?" He knew not to push Vernon to answer him about what had happened, he didn't need to ask as he already knew.
"Yer we can, why don't you pull up the war game you was playing yesterday for a bit" he wasn't exactly found of how much time the younger boy spent playing games, but he knew they helped him escape reality for a bit.
"You hate me playing games"
"Yer I do, but an hour won't hurt, we will go back to class after that, okay?"
"Okay"
They set a timer on the younger's phone for an hour, so they knew when to go back and continue to sit in the same way while vernon played the game on his phone.

Back in class Seungcheol watched all the boys set of to do their own things, Jeonghan and Joshua talking about possible pranks that they could pull while Chan sat with them completing some homework with their help, it really did make him wonder how the youngest actually ended up in this class. He saw jun asleep once again his long hair falling into his face, Wonwoo sat reading while Mingyu spoke about god know what to him, Jihoon play a nice tune on the guitar while humming alone with it, Seokmin and Soonyoung both were standing by the door laughing loudly, Minghao stood by himself drawing on the chalk board, fixing his damaged drawing. He mind fell to Seungkwan and Vernon wondering what those two where up to, he couldn't help but worry about the American boy after his outburst this morning.

"Oh Seungcheol, stop worrying about them, the two will be back when they are ready" Jeonghan's voice snapped him out of his dazed.
"What are you a mind reader?" He sarcastically answered
"Yes, I'm so great and powerful-" he was interrupted by Joshua who had slapped the back of his head, Seungcheol couldn't help but let out the chuckle that slipped his lips.

It was an hour later when Seungkwan made his way back into the classroom, Vernon following behind, headphones on, eyes drawn to his phone, Seungcheol looked at them, Seungkwan quickly caught his eye and shook his head, telling the older not to ask, they made their way to Hoshi and Seokmin, Seungkwan let the younger sit it the chair near them, gently patted his head before he turned to joke with the other two, the three of them allowing Vernon to be in his own world with his game, but Seungcheol saw how each one of them occasionally who looked towards the younger, checking that he was alright.

"So Seungcheol, how do you plan on getting these boys into college anyway?" It was Joshua's voice who pulled him back to reality.
"Your going to help us get into college?" Chan looked up from where he was laying on the floor, excitement lingering in his eyes.
"Yes I'm going to help you boys chan" chan gave a bright smile towards the oldest.
"Anyway, the first thing I'm going to have to do is get a few of them to let down their walls a bit" he answered Joshua, at this answer Jeonghan who had been assisting Chan with his homework looked up at him.
"You've got to be joking right?" Seungcheol was taken aback by this answer
"No why?"
"That is next to impossible, Jihoon will most likely resort to violence if you prey into his feelings, Wonwoo would glare and ignore you, and god I don't even want to think about how Minghao would respond to that" Jeonghan rambled.
"I know, I'm not going immediately get onto them about their life outside of school, or the feelings they want to keep hidden, I mean I'm going to get Jihoon to allow me near him without hitting me, Wonwoo to interact with me a bit and Minghao to call me hyung, I want to get the boys more comfortable around me, so they can trust me and allow me to help them when their ready for help, I'm not going to force them." A look of relief crossed Jeonghan's face upon hearing this.
"Okay that sounds a bit better then what I thought" Seungcheol smiled at the boy and let out a chuckle, but the whole thing had proved that even the ones who were more comfortable around him still had plenty of walls that he needed to break through to make them trust him, but that's what happens when you're the new kid in a class full of misfits...
