(Dahyun pov)

"Hey what class do you have next Dahyun?" Minju asked while walking beside me

"I have Alchemy Class next," 

"Oh me too!" She said while her face lit up and she was practically jumping up and down

"We can go there together, I just need to go get my bag from the lunchroom" I said and turned to face her, I saw her flash a big grin and nodded, "you can wait here, I'll be quick"  said and went towards the lunchroom 

When I got there the others looked at me with an odd expression and eyed me while I grabbed my bag, I was walking away when one of them called my name, I looked back to see Nayeon standing in front of me with her arms crossed and a questioning look all over her face

"Yes?" I asked and swung my bag over my shoulder 

"Where were you?" She asked with authority in her voice, which drew the attention of everyone in the room as everything grew silent and they turned to look at the little standoff we had going on wondering why someone like me would be standing up to someone like her

"Somewhere" 

"Like?" I just shrugged my shoulders and turned to walk away again. I saw some students cover their mouth in shock of my response while some just rolled their eyes. But of course Nayeon somehow stood in my way from where she was before and looked at me dead in the eyes expecting me to answer her question seriously. Maybe she was expecting me to flinch or something? Because I saw a quick waver in her tough demeanor when I stared back into her eyes, it was quick enough for no one else to notice at where they stood but I saw it loud and clear.

I grew increasingly uncomfortable with all the attention she was causing towards us, mainly me.  I felt their eyes glaring at me from all directions

"My deepest apologies Miss Im, but I have to go. Someone is waiting on me, so if will, please move out the way" I told her in my most controlled and calm voice, I saw her nod at me but whispered something into my ear, but I felt the sudden coldness when she walked past me

Whatever MInju was waiting on me. I shouldn't mind them too much.

(Nayeon pov)

I hate it when my orders aren't followed, and when I ask something they don't answer me with exactly what I asked for. Like just now. 

"What did you tell her?" Jihyo asked while I sat back into my seat

"I'll tell you guys later" 

"Why did you do that Nayeon" Sana asked while I turned to her questioningly

"What do you mean Sana? She just let randomly then comes back without saying a word? Not on my watch" I replied 

"I get that part and how you don't like having your authority ignored and all, but what I mean is that you didn't have to make a scene like that. Everyone was staring at you two, well Dahyun" she said looking at me disapprovingly

"Why not? It was fine" 

"No it wasn't! It might've been for you but not for her! You don't know, nor understand if you did know, why don't you ever think about the other person?? For one, she isn't like us, she doesn't have status. People bully her all the time, you'll only make her a bigger target!" Sana slightly shouted and stood up which was new. She never shouts like that and especially not at me. Never have I ever seen her this upset

"Why do you—" I tried to speak but was cut off 

"Why do I care?? Because no one else does! Remember when we walked over here and she was all wet from head to toe looking like she was in a trance? Why do you think that is Nayeon??" 

"Uh I don't know, maybe she spilled water on herself?" I replied not understanding what Sana was implying at all

"How can you be so dense? How can you all be so dense?? Open your eyes for once, look at what's happening to the people around you for once! Do something for once." I could hear the pain in her voice as she spoke ever word. This wasn't like her, I looked around to see Chaeyoung's ears to be covered by Mina and Tzuyu staring at Sana dumbstruck. While Jeongyeon and Jihyo were looking just as confused as me. 

She sat back next to Mina on her right and I'm sure we all saw how she was about to cry. Tears swelled up into her eyes threatening to fall. Mina noticed this first and hugged her tightly with Sana slightly sobbing into her shoulder which only confused us even more. She obviously knew something we didn't and it was bothering me, I could see it was to Jihyo too while Jeongyeon looked at Sana worryingly, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu were looking at each other not sure what was going on and why it was. 

I heard Tzuyu ask Chaeyoung if Sana knew something about Dahyun that they didn't' know either.  If those two didn't know and the three of them were practically sisters, what does that make us?

I noticed Sana mutter something to Mina, but none of us heard it. Mina turned to us and said "she said she was sorry for yelling". But Mina's voice sounded cold and meaningless. She doesn't talk a lot but when she does, she has a bunch of emotion and feeling in her voice. There is no trace of that ever being present now.

Why is everyone acting so different now? What's going on? Ever since we met those three— no. Ever since we met Dahyun.

"I gotta get going" Sana said and got up to leave
