Chan's pov:

I was looking forward to our project. I love to make music, and this is a chance for me to get closer to the younger students. I know that the other seniors can be assholes, so I want to try my best to make the newer students feel comfortable around me. Opportunities like this one are rare, and we don't usually get to interact with younger students and work with them unless we're helping a teacher during a lesson for extra credits. 

Minho and I were sitting side by side in class, watching the students filter in. Just then, two students walked into the classroom, and Minho seethed with barely repressed hatred. I've seen them during dance class before, but all I knew about them was that one of them was a sophomore and the other a freshman, and that Minho hated them. The sophomore was tall, with long limbs and hair that fell to his shoulders. He was quite good looking, no doubt. The other one was blonde, and he also had pretty long hair. The two of them walked into the class, looked Minho up and down in disgust, and then sat in the front row of the class, far away from us. 

"Those are the jerks I told you about." Minho leaned into my ear and whispered. "I hate them."

"What were their names again?" I asked him, also whispering. 

"The one who's 300 feet tall is Hyunjin, and the other is Felix." Minho answered, still whispering.

I nodded and looked back at the door. A girl walked in, and this time it was a girl I recognized. Her name was Lily. She was a sophomore, and was quite popular. I met her before when I was helping Mr. Park during a vocal class, and I really liked her voice then. I silently hoped she would be in our group, because her vocals are amazing. 

A mere second before the bell rang, Kim Seungmin and Han Jisung walked into the classroom. They were both present the class in which I first saw Lily, and both of them had amazing voices. I knew Jisung particularly well because Minho likes him, and when Minho has a crush, he never shuts up about the guy. 

Minho whispered in my ear, "See? That's my angel. He'll be mine one day." 

"Sure, Minnie." I replied.

"Don't call me that." He glared at me.

"Okay, Minmin." I kept my gaze trained on the whiteboard at the front of the class, avoiding his glare. 

Jisung and Seungmin sat right next to us, Jisung on the chair to Minho's left side and Seungmin to Jisung's left. The two of them were laughing about something, and I felt myself smiling as I looked at seungmins beautiful smile. Then the teacher walked into the classroom. 

"Listen up, I don't have time for you. I'll just say who'll be in each group. I don't care if you don't know how to write or produce a song. Just teach yourself. This makes up half your final music class grade, so do it well. You guys need to make a dance for it and record a music video too." Mr. Park said. The students looked around at each other, seeming offput by the teacher's announcement. Mr. Park proceeded to write the names of each group on the board.

Group A: Jake, Sunghoon, Yeji, Hyunjin, Jeongin, Soobin, Sana, Mina, Lia.

Group B: Minho, Chan, Seungmin, Jisung, Lily, Felix, Yuqi, Irene. 

Group C: Changbin, Soyeon, Wendy, Yuna, Minji, Danielle, Haerin, Jay.


I looked over at Minho. His face was slightly pale as he stared at the whiteboard. He looked over at me. 

"I don't wanna be with Felix." He said. 

"We don't have a choice, Minmin." I replied. He looked thoroughly terrified. I wondered what Felix had said or done to him that made my Minnie look so worried. "It's okay, I'll make sure he doesn't do anything to you." 

"You don't know Felix. He's terrible."

"Look at the bright side. You're with me and Jisung. Your two favorite people in the world." I said, trying desperately to calm him down. 

The teacher said that we should put our tables together to form a group, so we did. When Irene and Felix walked over, they were holding hands. Felix sat right in front of Minho, and Irene was on Felix's left. Jisung sat next to Minho, and Seungmin sat next to me. Jisung and Seungmin were glaring at Irene. It seemed that Yuqi and Lily were the only people in our group who didn't hate at least one other person in the group. 

I sighed. This project definitely wasn't going well.


*****


What do you think of the second chapter? Is the writing good? I would appreciate any feedback.

Let me just make it clear that I don't intend to put anyone in a bad light (Irene, Felix, Hyunjin.) this is all fictional, and they are actually good people. They aren't bad people irl, I just made them this way to help the plot and story advance. 

Also, stan Dreamcatcher. They're so underrated.
