Kim Taehyung X Reader FF |" My Annoying Academic Rival! "

Chapter 8- Another Student = Another Competition

Chatter was soaring through the air, classmates doubting the rumors of a new student in the middle of the term, as preposterous as it sounds. It was true.

'If it's true, I do hope they're not much of a competition' Y/N yawned, lazily buttering her toast in the cafeteria.

The cafeteria didn't have much luck as they ran out of supplies, so they best fed the students jam or butter with toast. Y/N didn't mind it, of course.

'Whatever,' Asim-chi said, scornfully disgusted with the smell of butter 'Just hope - they fix this' 

Asim-chi muttered indistinctly,  glaring at the untouched toast with jam in her plate.

'If you're not eating that,' Y/N grinned cheekily, 

'I don't even know how you can eat that Er- sure you can eat it' Asim-chi was bewildered on how Y/N easily adapted to the new meals.

'Thank you,' Y/N replied, munching on her sandwich

***

As they finished their lunch, they headed to their next class. With Asim-chi muttering a lot of critical feedback about the lunch being "Mental" or "Torture" and lets not forget "WOSS" which according to Asim-chi means, "Waste of Stomach Space", even though she didn't eat anything at all.

As the students gradually reached their class, they all settled down in their assigned seats. Sadly, Asim-chi's seat was way over the corner, while Y/N's was at the middle third. And to her utmost unfortunate luck, her rival Taehyung was assigned next to her.

'Hi, you looked like you ran a 30 km marathon yesterday when you arrived' Taehyung added, a sarcastic smirk forming.

'You look like the buffoon you were, same as yesterday' Y/N added, scoffing.

'Not a good one, 2/10' Taehyung said, sardonically.

Y/N was enraged and raised her finger to protest, but as soon as she did that Mrs. Bae arrived. So she had no choice but to join everyone in greeting her.

'Good Morning, Mrs. Bae...' The class greeted with laziness pronounced very visibly.

Mrs. Bae scowled at their pessimistic greeting and gestured them to sit down, muttering 'Aloof' underneath her breath.

'So as far as I'm aware,' Mrs. Bae continued 'You all have heard about our new student that has recently transferred to our school-'

Chatter and gossip evaded her announcment. Mrs. Bae was appalled at the classroom's dismissive behaviour

'-So it's true?' 'They accepted a student when our semester's just about to end?' 'That means they're good!' 'Could they replace Y/N?-'

Y/N's breath hitched at hearing the nearby gossip as they took furtive glances at her and quickly looked back when they caught her glaring at them.

Taehyung's hastily turned his laugh into a hacking cough as he heard their gossips about her, he too took furtive glances at Y/N.

Mrs. Bae tried shusing them but it didn't stop even a word, so she slammed her book onto her desk, making the class jolt and responsive, allowing the chatter to be non existent.

'Repulsive,' Mrs. Bae scowled, giving the class a lecture on a non-existent boy that talked in class, and ended up in the streets. It lasted approximately 10 minutes.

As she ended her story, she dusted off her coat and sighed before continuing

'Now-' she said, almost out of breath 'Sehun, come in'

A boy walked in the classroom, Y/N felt a weird sensation of familiarity of remembering the memory when Taehyung did the same when he too, was a new student.

'Introduce yourself - please' Mrs. Bae said, sounding tired

The boy bowed to Mrs. Bae and faced towards the class to continue-

'Hi! Hello, goodmorning!' He sounded really cheery with three welcoming words, they did sound a bit excessive of course.

'My name is Sehun, Sehun Kang! And I am overjoyed to be attending this prestigious school of yours!' He added cheerfully.

Mrs. Bae smiled, at least one of her students were enjoyed about learning, 

'Thank you Sehun, you can go sit next to-' Mrs. Bae eyes searched for an unassigned seat, 'Sit next to Cho-won, please'

Sehun nodded as he walked over to his seat, waving to everyone on the way. 

'Attention seeker,' Taehyung grumbled, rolling his eyes.

***

The first class of the day soon ended, Y/N craddling all her books but they were all too big to fit into her arms, Taehyung walked past her giving a mocking look. Y/N rolled her eyes in reply muttering 'bastard'.

'Hi!' 

Y/N jolted at the sudden voice, resulting in all her books falling to the ground.

'Oh, I'm sorry!' It was Sehun, he apologized as he bowed. And bent down to pick up all her books, Y/N was stunned at the sudden greeting.

'I'm Sehun!' He smiled handing half of her books to her and holding the other half himself.

'Yeah, I figured' Y/N muttered, half smiling 

'Oh, right! I did do my introduction before!' Sehun recalled, letting out an "Ooh!"

'Thanks for the help, Sehun' Y/N said, her eyes squinted because of her smile

'No problem! Should we walk to the next class together?' Sehun suggested, making Y/N nod.

Sehun was a really nice person, a little talkative but Y/N didn't mind.

Little did they know, somebody was cursing in jealousy.
