SOLACE

ch2

New School, new people and new me.

"I'll be leaving then, Sue."
I hugged her and went to the door.

"Wait."
She ran inside like a bullet train and came back panting.

"Wear this."
"Glasses?"
"Yeah, I thought this will add on to your nerd look."

I wore it,
"How do I look?"

"You're not recognisable anymore. Now even your biggest fans won't get a clue unless they examine your smile or eyes a bit more deeply."

"Hehe, thanks sue, gotta go now, bye!"

I heard her bye and then descended through the stairs to the parking area. I didn't use lift because I prefer stairs.

I took my bicycle and ride it to my new school.

I wasn't late, thankfully.

I asked a student for the Principal's office and she gave me a pissed off look, like seriously?

"Get your nerdy ass off from here, you're making me feel sick!"

"I don't understand how I'm making you feel sick but if you do, get yourself a doctor because this isn't a common problem in humans."

I told her while maintaining my innocent looking face and without waiting for her response, I headed to the Principal's office, finding it by my own. On the way, I regretted messing up with that girl, what if I get unnecessary attention?

While I was deeply engulfed in thoughts , I accidentally bumped into something hard, it was same as yesterday but this time I was the one who was on top of him.

Is he for real? He's mesmerizing, his dark orbs boring deep into my eyes as if finding something.

"I- "
I whispered, suddenly unable to form words.

"I've seen you before, The mall girl? You're with glasses this time."
He whispered back.

Sudden realisation hits that we're still in that position, thank goodness no one is here in the corridor-- wait why no one is here? Did the class start? Oh my.

"Oh. My. Get off me! Did the classes already start?!"
I pushed him slightly.

"Maybe."

"I had to go to the Principal's office first, to get my schedule. Can you lead me the way?"

"Uhmm ...okay .."

He led me to the office and I knocked on the door for the permission to get inside. I returned outside with my schedule and found him leaning on the wall.

"Oh you got it, let me see."
He snatched my fragile schedule sheet.

"We got same classes!"
He said amused.

"Is that so? Let's go then."
"What's your name, by the way?"
"I'm Y--  I mean, I'm Mia, Kang Mia."
"Oh, okay."
"Thank you and what's yours?"
"I'm Kim Taehyung."

We reached our class as soon as I finished.

"Shit, we're late."

" The Teacher won't scold, come."
He motioned for me to follow him.

I did and we entered the class with a lot of whispering of students that followed.

The teacher's eyes slightly dilated as she saw me but then composed herself.

"Why are you late Mia, that too on your first day?"

"I'm sorry, this won't happen next time."

"I know that you're quite a good student and something might've come up that's why you didn't show up on time, I hope you'll be more careful about school rules and the same for you Taehyung."
She slightly smiled at us.

We nodded our heads and she told me to introduce myself not before telling Taehyung to take his seat.

"Hello mates, I'm..K-Kang Mia. I hope we'll get along throughout the session."
I smiled a little.

"From now on, you'll be sitting next to Taehyung as he's the only one who doesn't have a desk mate."

I nodded my head and went towards his desk and sat next to him. I could feel him staring but I decided to ignore and focus on the class instead.

Classes after classes and soon it was lunch break, I finally decided to look around my surroundings and saw two familiar faces.

"Yoonie?"
I whispered but my dear desk mate heard it.

"Yoon-what?"
He asked.

"Uh, nothing."

I packed my books and got ready to leave for the cafeteria.

"Let's eat together!"

"Hmm sure."

"Mi-"

I heard my brother's voice and before I could say anything Jimin dragged Yoonie with him.

.................

"So..why you transferred here?"
He asked while walking with me to the cafeteria.

"I didn't like the previous school."

"And why's that?"

"And why are you so interested?"
I raised my eyebrows.

"Uhm-Nevermind."

"I was kidding, relax. I didn't like it because my brother was a lot popular there and girls won't happen to stop asking for his number from me."
I giggled.

"Ohh, that must've been hard."

You shrugged.

He didn't let me speak after that and went to take our meals. I denied him from paying but did he listen? No.

It was when we were having our lunch when he decided to speak.

"So, your brother is still in your previous school?"

"You seem a lot curious about me, Kim."
I chuckled.

"Yeah, It is the first time a girl isn't blushing or fan girling over my looks so why won't I be curious about her."
He stated as a matter of fact.

"Hmm, well it might be because I already have a lot of good looking people in my life."
I said while remembering my family and friends.

"Uh-huh, Is that so? But you didn't answer my question."

"Yes, my brother is still in his previous school as I mentioned earlier, I don't want unnecessary attention."

"Ohh, well that's sad, you can't even share the same school with him."

"Yeah, only I know how much of a problem it made when I told him that I'll be changing school."
I released a huff.

He bursted into laughter showing me his boxy smile.

Soon we finished our lunch and headed back to our classes.

After the classes ended Taehyung asked me my way home, however, it was different from his, so we parted our ways.

I went to the apartment and saw Yoongi and Jimin talking about something while Sue was sitting there amused.

"When did you two came?"
"It hasn't been much time if you ask."
Yoongi spoke up.

"Why did you two moved to this school."
I sighed as I sat near them comfortably.

Yoongi shrugged,
"We wanted to keep check on you."

Jimin eyed him,
"Seriously? You dragged me and Jungkook without our will!"

You chuckled as you heard him and that's how the day went, with you, Sue, Yoongi and Jimin gossiping and chilling.
