he came like a whisper
left like a dream
nothing to prove he had ever been.
but the tears in the other boy's eyes
and his trembling lips
are the witness of his first kiss,
his first love,
and his very first heartbreak.
nothing felt good after that,

The bell rings as everyone rushes out, except Taehyung who's busy watching the new kid, who continues to write in his book, like he didn't hear the loud bell.
Taehyung stands from his desk, preparing to go to talk to him, but freezes the instant he sees Hoseok get to him first. He fails to hide the disappointment that takes over his face at that.
The new kid looks sad.
He looks sad every day, but there's something different today. He looks like someone's kicked his puppy. It makes Taehyung wonder what happened and what caused the frown to deepen on his face.
Taehyung should talk to him soon, cheer him up maybe. He wants to, but he doesn't really know how. Not when he seems like he doesn't want to be bothered.
Sighing, he heads out the door to go to the cafeteria. He just can't wait for today to be over. His mom comes to visit tomorrow and his excitement is beyond any words. She missed their visit last weekend because she had a performance, and while Taehyung was really bummed out about it at first, his mother told him she would take him away this weekend for some fun.
Now he's just counting down the minutes until this day is over.
His stomach growls when he gets into the lunch line. It's pizza day, his favorite. He grabs a slice and some milk, then heads toward the table in the back. Yoongi, his best friend, is in detention this week because he thought it'd be fun to deflate all the balls before soccer practice. Coach wasn't happy and now Yoongi is spending his lunch all week with him.
Taehyung drops his tray and gets to work eating just as Seokjin and Namjoon come to sit by him. They just started here not long ago, but they're both on the soccer team, so they all just clicked.
"They didn't have the cookies today," Seokjin says and Taehyung can't help but smirk.
"You and those cookies," He mutters, opening his milk and taking a sip. Taehyung swears Seokjin's going to turn into a cookie as much as he eats them. They're good, but they aren't that good.
"The vending machine has some though," Namjoon adds before taking a bite of his food.
"I don't have any more allowance. I already spent what my dad sent me." Seokjin pouts, snagging his vanilla ice cream cup and taking a large bite, then makes a sour face. He's clearly not happy about having the wrong dessert.
Namjoon rolls his eyes while eating more pizza. "I'll buy them."
Seokjin perks up instantly. "Thank you, you're the best."
They continue to talk, but Taehyung zones out, eating his pizza and scanning the cafeteria for the new kid. He spots him talking to Hoseok and Joseph. He's smiling and laughing at whatever Joseph just said and it makes his own smile appear.
