How to Not be Awkward (Chanyeol)

Lesson #1 Don't be shy

School for a lot of teenagers is a hell. They believe that being confided by the four white walls called classroom can burn them alive and possibly scorch them down to ashes.

Not for me.

I actually do love school. I love the four white walls called classroom. I love the atmosphere, the smell of the new book even the sound of pen scratching profoundly on paper. I might admit I don't like some of the professors but as for learning and school? I love it.

I don't understand why a lot of people dislike going to school. Some say it's hard to wake up every morning. Solution? Sleep early, wake up early, simple.

Some say it's because they can't understand what the professor is saying. Solution? After class discussion with the teacher, go to the library or maybe stop looking at your crush or the clock or even the window, they're not going to run trust me.

And for some, they just don't like it. And I don't know why and honestly? I'm not interested to know.

I have two friends. I have that sort of friends also, the one where you say hi in the hallways or ask about the assignment and stuff like that but I have two real friends and they're Juli and Heejun.

Juli had been my friend since freshman year while Heejun transferred here this year and we sort of just click with her.

Anyways, we had been together since the start of the year.

My life is quiet, peaceful and as most other teenagers would say, boring but it's not for me. Well, in my opinion it's not until Juli developed a crush for that Baekhyun guy in the music club and turns out that Baekhyun guy likes her too and now, they're dating. As for Heejun, she hates commitment. She's all for fun and games but she can't be in a relationship. Right now, she has a fling from that Jongin guy. I don't know him but she told us he's from our neighboring school.

It's not that it bothers me that my friends gets to have some guy liked them while I'm not it's just that I have someone I like too. And that someone was named Oh Sehun, dance club, football varsity and major in broadcasting. He's my classmate in four of my classes but I don't think he even knows my name. The closest I get to have contact with him was when he passed his paper to me because he's sitting behind me in our History class.

Juli and Heejun know about it. I try not to make a big deal out of it in front of them because that would freak Juli out. She's a little overprotective on me while Heejun would probably do everything to make Sehun notice me and that is the last thing I would ever want of her to do. And besides, it's not like it would matter because rumors has it, Oh Sehun already likes someone.

The professor got out, signaling the end of our class. It's one of my classes where Oh Sehun is in it. I scolded myself for daydreaming about him again. Ever since Juli and Baekhyun started dating, I kept on dreaming that maybe Oh Sehun is hiding some kind of admiration for me like Baekhyun did to Juli and it's really not helping me in my studies at all.

I looked at Sehun's retreating back discreetly. Thinking, how could he like someone? Who's the lucky girl? What's her name? Why her? What did he see in her to like her?

I bit my lips in annoyance. I shouldn't be over thinking on such nonsense things. I should be worrying about Chemistry or History, not a guy I had been crushing. I sound like a lovesick teenager.

I packed my bags with my back turned from the door just so I won't tempt myself to watch Sehun walk away because honestly, that's creepy. When I was sure I had my things in (and that Sehun was gone), I hauled my bag on my shoulders and got out. I saw Heejun waving at me from across the hall and I waved back with a smile. I dump my things in my locker and when she reached me, I was already fixing my things for my next class after lunch.
