The Fault In Romance

01

taehyung's pov:

I could not help but to sigh for the seventh time this past hour, I have been scrolling through my phone absolutely bored out my mind. I am currently in the library at school, it is lunch time before classes start up again and I am spending my free time on my phone. 

I have already finished next classes assignment which some people would be happy about but now I am just bored. the one thing I am happy about it I got paid today from working at the bowling alley. so that means at the end of today I can go to the book store and get books before I go home for the day. 

I was sat by the large window on the second floor that had a view of the courts and field. my eyes shot from one person to person as I watched students run around with their friends. I wont lie I wish I was into sports, I am absolutely shit at it. that is why I ditch sports class as much as possible. 

I look down towards my phone to see I have got a message from jimin, asking me where I am then following up by 'that is a dumb question isnt it'. I could not help but to chuckle and send back a quick reply. 

I have two close friends 

jimin and jin, us three hang out during school but since they are both dating two guys on the basketball team sometimes they hang out around the basketball guys to be with their partners. they have always offered for me to come with them but its not my scene. 

I wont lie, it gets pretty lonely. seeing my two best-friends in happy and healthy relationships. they both were going on a double date four months ago and wanted me to come along with them to meet their partners. 

I had avoided every chance in meeting them as I could but I could not back out of that once when jin and jimin said if I came and stayed for the whole time they both would buy me two books each. 

as soon as I realised that is four books in total I was set and already getting changed to go on this date. 

I am not a fan of the basketball players, I think people kiss their asses way too much. as you walk through the hallways of lakeshore high all you see is everything to do with basketball. their awards, pictures, clothes in frames. the school is very proud of the basketball team as they have only lost a game once out of the 23 games they have played. 

Im the type of person that looks like they get bullied all the time in school but really I am just invisible. the only guy that is overly rude to me is a male named luke. he is apart of the basketball team, and its become his whole personality. 

long story short if you get into that basketball team you can pull anyone with a vagina. every basketball player is in a relationship, besides one guy named jeon jungkook. the lead basketball player, the top dog as people call it. 

I wont lie he is hot, at times I do find myself staring at him from a far. he is the only guy that has ever caught my eye, but I would rather bury myself alive then to start a conversation with him. shooting my shot was something that I would rather not experience. 

I have settled with the thought that I may never find someone. I have always wanted to fall in love, experience all the feelings my bestfriends do. they seem so happy and content, I want to feel that way one day. 

as soon as the bell rang I stood up from the beanbag I was laying on and grabbed my things before heading out the library doors. the library is one of the quietest places to chill during break time. as soon as you step out those doors it is so loud, it always takes adjustments. 

I feel the urge to cover my ears as I reach the large hallways that lead into more hallways, then into hundreds of different classrooms. as I was walking towards my class I felt my phone vibrate, I looked at the notification to see the guy I swiped right on matched with me, he also left a message that I was looking forward to reading. 

as soon as I unlocked my phone I was left with disappointment again, just another guy wanting a hook up. typical, I always think when it comes to this app. you either get boring conversations or people wanting nudes or a quick fuck. 

the only thing different with this app is that there is no pictures, photos of any sorts. all that people have to go on is your avatar and a decent sized paragraph all about yourself. the only thing that you have to verify is your age, which you have to add your birth certificate on there but no one else see's it beside the company that owns 'mine'. 

the app is about finding connections based off of personality and hobbies. not by looks. which I wont lie I am quite insecure about. so I dont mind the idea of no pictures, it makes me feel more at ease. 

as soon as I shoved my phone into my back pocket I let out a small yawn as I headed towards my desk chair. lots of people filled the room but I just hid in the back. this was the one class that I had none of my friends in. english class. 

I looked up to the front of the class when i heard a bunch of loud people enter the class, my eyes landed on some of the basketball team students who walked inside the classroom, their arms around the lead basketballer's shoulders. 

I could not help but to stare at jungkook, his basketball jersey around his shoulders.

number seven. 

whenever you are in a relationship with one of the basketball players, if you walk around in their jersey it means everyone knows your off limits. no one can touch you.
