The Silent Student

Chapter 2

3-2-1...Ding~ dang~ dong~
I get up and pack my things. Now it's finally the weekend. Don't learn anything, just write texts and post a few selfies. And finally get up late. How much I missed my sleep.

I put on my backpack and leave the room without looking back. Why should I wait for someone? I don't have anyone I can call a friend at this school. I'm more of a loner. I don't want any friends or lovers. That would be too much effort for me to always respond to other people's feelings. With my family it's different.

I walk out of school and take my phone out of my pocket. Please don't let my phone crash. I turn it on and immediately see hundreds of notifications pop up. Great... Yes, it's great if you have a big fan base with whom you share something, but so many... especially it's bad for my phone. It crashes because of all the notifications in Instagram and tiktok constantly. It is very tiring.

I open Instagram. 298 direct messages and 797 likes and comments. I sigh. More than half of my fans are young girls. It's really rare when I meet a fanboy there, but I'm happy every time. I read through some comments and messages. It says the same thing everywhere. You are so great, You rap well, I love you...I feel like vomiting. I roll my eyes. I'm not even into girls...but maybe August D is?

"Yoongi!" ,I hear someone calling behind me. I turn my head back. Jimin runs towards me. What does he want from me? Jimin comes to a stop next to me. "Hey," he says, smiling slightly. But I just look at him coldly and uninterestedly. Please don't talk to me, Jimin. I don't like it when people just talk to me like that.

"Um..." Jimin blushes slightly and scratches the back of his neck. "I just wanted to ask you if I could go to a cafe with you," Jimin says shyly. He wants what? "Why with me?" I ask, tilting my head to the side. "Well...because I want to be friends with you," he murmurs.

There it is. Friendship...I can't make friends with him...yes, he's nice and sweet, but I don't want to hurt him...but don't I do the same when I tell him that I don't want to be friends with him? Feelings are so complicated!

"Uh...I'll go to the cafe with you, but not now," I say. I think that's the best way. "Okay...what time should we meet there?" asks the little one. "Um...5 p.m.," I say quickly. I have to do something before that.

Jimin starts to smile. "Great, then we'll see you at 5 p.m. in front of the cafe," he says and goes back to his friends, who have been staring at us the whole time.  Stalker... I turn around and keep walking. But then I stop again and turn around. Jimin and his friends don't look at me. Perfect timing. I shyly wave at Jimin. "See you then, jiminie," I murmur and turn around again. I can't stop smiling. Am I that happy?
