Deceptive Beginnings

Tuesday

You wake up the next day before your alarm even has time to go off. You unlock your phone and see at least seven missed text messages from Jungkook. You laugh to yourself as you read his frustrated texts. Once again, you must peel yourself out of bed to prepare for school. Today, you adorn yourself with a short black skirt, a crop top, and, once again, your fishnets and thrifted black combat boots. You put your hair up into two spikey buns and do your signature heavy-smudged black eyeliner. One more look in the mirror before you grab your bag and head to school.

It's a peaceful walk to school, but once you reach the gates, you see a familiar figure leaning against the gates with a straw sticking out of his mouth. Jungkook kicks off the gate and walks towards you with a smirk. You roll your eyes. "Good morning." You grumble.

He looks at you as his smirk continues to grow on his face. "Morning to you too, 'girlfriend'." He closes the distance and holds his hand out to you. "I waited for you. Don't you feel loved?" He cocks his head to the side playfully.

You scoff. "I'm guessing your friends are somewhere around here this morning?" You look down at his extended hand and back up at his eyes.

"Well, don't I have a clever girlfriend?" He brings his hand back to his side. "They're gonna meet us in the courtyard, where lots of students can see us, so get your acting skills ready, 'girlfriend'."

You hug his arm and look up at him with a sweet smile. "Well, then, what are we waiting for, 'boyfriend'." You can feel Jungkook stiffen at your touch as if not expecting you to grab him suddenly, but he regains his composure just as fast. He leads you through the school hallways, and people start to notice you with him, whispering and looking at the both of you. A couple of girls give you dirty looks for being with Jungkook. You lean in a little closer to him and whisper. "I hope this is the reaction you wanted."

He looks around and gives you his award-winning smile. "Oh, this is exactly the reaction I wanted, baby."

"I think you're sick in the head, dude." You whisper back to him, ensuring you don't drop your in-love expression.

He chuckles lightly under his breath. "Please, this is the type of attention I'm used to having. People are jealous of me because they know they'll never have someone as good as me." He says that like it's a fact. His narcissistic personality is really on display. He stops in front of a group of three boys. "Baby, I would like you to meet my friends. Boys, this is my girlfriend Y/N."

They all look between you and Jungkook, shocked before one of them finally speaks up. "Well, well, well, it's the man himself showing up at school with a girl. I never thought I'd see the day."

You give a small, polite wave. "It's nice to meet Jungkook's friends finally." They all look at each other and then return to you and give polite greetings.

Jungkook places his hand on your lower back. "I told you I would introduce you to them soon."

You lean into him a little bit and whisper. "Get your hand off my back if you wanna keep it." You warn him.

He quickly takes his hand away from the small of your back. "Sorry, my love. I don't mean to embarrass you." He says loud enough for his friends to hear.

You look up at him and speak in the sweetest voice you can muster. "Where are we going on our date later? You said you had something special planned for me!"

You can feel him cringe at your fake cutesy voice, but he maintains his cool demeanor. "Yeah, I do have something special set up for you, but I want it to be a surprise until we get to the date. I want you to be excited, darling." You can tell he said darling so forced, and you look over at his friends, who seem skeptical. "I know, I know. I am the sweetest boyfriend, aren't I?"
