Retaliations with a Rebel

~Chapter 11~

The next morning was the same old routine. I woke up and pulled myself into the washroom to sleepily brush my teeth. Half way through, I opened my eyes and found a paper stuck to my cheek. I peeled it off and smoothened the crinkled note and read the faded writing, 'It's all my fault, she's dead because of me...'

I gasped and rushed out of the bathroom. The paper flew onto the ground. I quickly grabbed my things and rushed out of the house without goodbyes. I need to talk to Jongin, now.

I ran the entire way to school with my breath caught in my throat. "Jongin!" I called as soon as I got to his locker. I frantically looked around searching for his familiar face. I felt like I was lost in a crowd. Taking short breaths into my lungs I snapped my head in the direction to where I heard my name being called. It was Kris.

"Wanna have lunch together today? It's study day today, which technically means it's a free day for everyone!" I smiled at his offer, but that was the least of my worries at the moment. "Kris, I'd love to stay and chat, but I'm really busy. Sorry."

About to take my second step away from him, he wrapped his hand around my wrist and turned me around. "Jae. Lunch at the courtyard today. Please?" He pouted. Instead of looking at him I glanced around his shoulders at the open classrooms. 'Jongin.' His name rang in my head. "Fine." I gave in so he'd let go and continued my search.

The thoughts in my head practically blurred my entire vision. All I knew was that my feet had a mind of it's own and was jogging through the halls. My mind was on Jongin. My mind was on that note. A jumbled mind and legs almost running isn't the best combination. I slammed into someone's chest. "What is wrong with me today?" I looked up and groaned, "I seem to be attracting all the jerks in my life."

In front of me stood a bright and giddy Luhan. 'If he smiles any bigger his mouth will rip..." My mind barked. "Jae! Long time no see eh!"

"And I intend to keep it that way." I retorted and stepped around him.

With swift movements I was his armrest. I squirmed away from his arm. "Jae darling don't leave!" He teased.

"Lulu honey bunch, I'm in a hurry." I really needed to find him. As I rounded another corner I heard Luhan laugh and shout, "Check the shed!"

I stopped and backed up to poke my head around the corner and wave a little thanks. From there, I went straight to the shed. My mind was practically screaming Jongin's name now.

Through the hallways, crossing the field, and making my way to the shed. My head was spinning from lack of oxygen now. I looked behind the shed and there he was, mouth to mouth with another girl.

A surge ran through my body and caused me to slam my bag into the wall causing a ringing sound. The two jumped apart and looked up. Jongin's eyes widened in shock when he saw my presence. "Jaehi..." He mumbled.

I felt myself scowl. "Meet me by the oak trees by the field when you're done. Kay." And I stormed away. Something was clutching inside the pit of my stomach and breathing seemed labored. "What the hell?" I grumbled as I sat under the shade.

I waited for a good 15 minutes and decided to give up. 'Jongin.' His name was on a repeated loop in my head. I decided to believe that he wasn't going to come. I gathered my things that were scattered around the tree trunk and dumped them in my bag. As soon as I zipped it a shadow was cast over me.

"What? No more girls left to prey on?" My words came out with venom. I was taken aback by how angry I sounded.

Jongin sat beside me and chuckled, "Jealous much?"

I rolled my eyes, "Jongin?" He looked over. I didn't know exactly how to word me question so I stayed silent. He nudged me to go on, still looking at me. "Tell me... What happened with your sister?"
