Stuck With You

Thank You

On a normal day, in a normal classroom, a psychology teacher is teaching her class. Babbling away about theories about how the human brain works. For the human brain is very complicated. Why? Because they contain the power of emotions. And that was something Sehun has always wondered about. How they worked. How they functioned. And most importantly how his own operated.

Like a typical main character starring in his own life, Sehun sat in the back corner of the room absentmindedly staring out the window. His eyes watching the wind blow wistfully, sending an autumn breeze past the windows leaving a fresh scent of leaves and other homey smells. Fall was such a glorious scene to watch. The summer that was slowly fading away and being replaced by the changing color of leaves was something Sehun thought of as a new beginning. It reminded him something along the lines of getting rid of his past.  A horrible past that he hopes will never resurface his new life here, in a new school. A new Sehun will arise.

"Class, pay attention to what I'm about to say next!" Ms. Wang, the psychology lets out a screech, smacking the board in hopes of averting the tired student's attention back to her, "You have a big project to complete for this first semester"

Sehun peels his eyes away from the window and goes back to staring at the board. He had just started attending this school only a few weeks ago after begging his impossible dad for a transfer from his old school. It was difficult for him to get adjusted to the new setting and new faces but at least it was better than before.

"Everyone will be assigned a partner to do this project with, no switching or else I will deduct 20 points" she explains again "Alright I'll begin, come up here to get your packet when I call your name"

"Chanyeol and Baekhyun", "Kai and Kyungsoo" Towards the middle of the name calling, Sehun's eyes got heavy and they shut close from the droning of name calling. The noises slowly faded and he went to his dreamland for a brief nap.

"Oh Sehun and Huang Zitao"

"Sehun!"

Sehun jolts awake, his glasses sliding off his nose. His mind quickly adjusting to the situation as he readjusts his spectacles. Then abruptly standing up, causing the pencils and books to fly off the desk from his extremely long legs. At the front of the room a Zitao stares at him with a sharp gaze beckoning for him to come up quickly.

"Sehun get up here and get your packet!" Ms. Wang says a little louder, the voice pierces through his ears. He broke a cold sweat, his heart racing against his chest, it felt so uncomfortable for the whole room to be staring at him all at once. His legs trembles as he made his way up to the front of the class almost tripping upon his untied shoe, the entire room of eyes following him up. Aish... so embarrassing

His eyes met ZiTao's in a short stare. ZiTao's sharp eyes alone spoke to him. Annoyance, ZiTao was indeed annoyed,  Sehun thinks quietly. He quickly became afraid to stare at Tao's eyes for too long, he didn't want to be harassed by those catty eyes of his.

The two return to their seats with unpleased faces. Tao's first impression on him wasn't too good. But it didn't really bother Sehun, Zitao's opinion of him held no significance. 10 seconds left of this period. Sehun slowly starts packing his pens and books hoping Ms. Wang wouldn't catch him. He knew teachers hated it but he wanted to leave already.

"Excuse me! Sit down, you sit down! The bell doesn't dismiss you, I do" Ms. Wang screams at the class like she did everyday, "This project is due in a month, discuss with your partner after class! Okay?"

"Okay" the class responds in unison and like ants they all scurry out of the room. Sehun shoves the last book into his backpack and heads out of the room. A month to work with this ZiTao huh...
