I'm quite a weird person. I can be very bipolar. I'm a night type of person, I hate being in my room and feeling the sunlight against me skin. It makes me feel dirty. I try my best to make the curtains cover the view of the sun.Wait, no, I think you've got this wrong. I'm not afraid of light. That's not it at all. I just have a big thing for not liking the sun. Nope. Nada. But it's very weird, you wanna know why?
Well, I have myctophobia.
'Myctophobia- known as fear of darkness. Most people who suffer from it do not talk about it because of embarrassment or just the fact of talking about the dark upsets them.
For some, fearing darkness dictates how they live their lives. It can manifest itself in several different ways, by avoiding dark places, or leaving the lights on when unnecessary.
Some fear the dark because of what is unknown. They may fear that there are monsters lurking in the dark or ghosts that can attack them. Murderers are also said to take advantage of the dark. Others fear the dark because they feel like they are being swallowed alive by the dark.
There are also physical symptoms of a myctophobia such as panic, shortness of breath, dizziness, tremors, sweating, increased heart rate and chest pain. Fear of the dark could be perpetuated by a tragic or intense life experience or a deeper underlying fear.'
Sounds great, doesn't it? And for the symptoms part, me being the lucky girl I am, not the sarcasm, covers all of those symptoms.
And so now you get me? Why I look at myself as the weirdest person in the world? In a brief summary: I'm a night person, with Myctophobia. But I totally despise the sun.
I groaned as I stretched my arms. The sunlight was once again in my face and I shivered before harshly pulling the curtains to cover it.
Today was a day like many others. A school day, but hey there was one thing I could be excited about at least. We're having a new student in our home room. Something about him being famous.
I slowly pulled the covers of my body. The cold atmosphere immediately making me want to snuggle back into the covers.
One of my closest friends, Rania kept on blabbering on and on about the excitement she had been bottling in. Seems like everyone was doing that. We were all anticipating our new student.I Do have many friends, I actually have quite a few but sometimes I wish I didn't have any at all. Sometimes I can't even muster telling them things. They cause too much drama. There's so many cons but then there are also so many pros.
Mr. Song clapped to get the classes attention.
Once he succeeded, he cleared his throat,
"Class, a new student will be joining this class. As you've all heard he is quite known in the fame industry-" he was interrupted by the sudden whispers and squeals, "Silence!" The class obeyed and he continued, "He is known to be part of the famous Boy band, Bangtan Sonyeondan." He paused expecting squeals once again and his expectations were lived up too.
Rania shook my shoulders excitedly, "Dalnim! Did you hear that?! Oh my god. Oh my god. I can't believe this."
Oh god. This girl was a huge fan of this Bangtan boy band. She always shares what's going on with the boys with me. I don't really care but sometimes it's interesting to hear how the kpop life works.I brought my fingers to my lips, creating a shushing motion, "Rania shush! And don't you think if you act too clingy once he comes in, don't you think he'd be annoyed of you?
She stopped dumbfounded before widening her eyes, "Oh my. You're right! What would I Do without you. You basically give me the best life advice to live by."
I laughed as she hugged me tightly and patted her head, "Of course. You wouldn't be anything without me."
That's when she let go and gave me a stinky face, "Aishh."Mr. Song clapped loudly again gaining our attention back, "As I was saying. He's a famous boy band member. BUT, I'm expecting my class to treat him like a normal student and boys, be nice to him." I mustered a laugh imagining the jealousy on the boys faces as this kpop boy steps into our class.
A knock came from the door and everyone's head snapped towards that direction. Rania and I made eye contact questioning who the knock came from.
The class became so quiet that the sound of Mr. Song's steps walking across the room sounded like huge rocks falling from the sky.
Mr. Song smiled when he opened the door and I was curious to what his happy behaviour was towards. Then it clicked, who else would it be?
"Class, I introduce you're new classmate, Jeon Jungkook."
A tall, skinny but well built-bodied boy walked towards the door. His hair was black, and shit, he was very attractive. Not that I'd EVER admit that to anyone except for maybe Rania.
He sent a smile to the class bowing, "Annyeong. I'm Jeon jungkook,
Please treat me well."---
