You Are My Jam (BTS FANFIC)

7: Rumors

JAMIE POV
I walked into the house and got greeted by Elizabeth.

"So how was the first day of school?!" She asked. I smiled.

"It was okay I guess. I made two new friends. Remember that girl I told you about that I met at the mall? Well she became my friend along with another girl named Anna." I answered.

"Great! And did you get into the dance team?" She asked.

"The teacher said that he will let me know tomorrow." I said while rubbing the back of my neck.

"Don't worry, you'll get in. I have seen you dance and you are amazing. If they don't let you in, they are at the biggest loss of their lives." She said while giving me a smile. I thanked her. "Oh Jamie, your father is going to come in late today." She added. I let out a sigh of relief. Then, I went upstairs, took a shower, and ate dinner. When I was done, I went to my room and did my homework on my bed. Since I entered the school in the middle of first semester, I had some catching up to do. Soon enough, it got dark and I finally finished my homework. Then, I sat on my bed and stretched. I looked out of the window to see Jimin's curtains closed. I laid on my bed and started thinking. Tomorrow is another day of school. Why did Chelsea discourage me today? Does she already dislike me? And what's the big deal about Bangtan anyway? They seem as normal as any other teenager in that school. I shrugged my thoughts away and closed my eyes. Then, I drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes and saw sunlight beaming in my room. I rubbed my eyes and got up to stretch. Then, I went to the bathroom, did my morning routine, and put my uniform on. Then, I walked downstairs to the kitchen where I saw my father eating breakfast.

"Good morning father." I said.

"You have fifteen minutes to get to school." He said. I let out a deep breath.

"Goodbye father." I said. Then, I grabbed an apple and a small carton of milk from the fridge, and I walked out of the house. When I was out, I inhaled the fresh air and bit into the apple. Then, I started to walk to school. After ten minutes, I got there and I finished my milk and apple. I threw them away and walked into my school, where I felt everyone's attention. I quickened my pace and went straight to my English class. There, I saw Rachel and Anna waiting for me.

"Hey!" I said once I sat down.

"Hey!" They replied with suspicious grins.

"Why are you guys smiling like that?" I asked.

"The entire school is talking about 'The new chick from New York'. Apparently some girl walking by the dance room saw you dancing yesterday and spread the word, saying that you were the best girl dancer in the school." Rachel said. My eyes widened.

"What?!" I asked.

"Ya! It's your second day and your already so popular!" Anna said. I looked around and saw Chelsea looking at me, Minho smiling at me, and the others talking amongst themselves.

"I don't know how to feel about this situation." I said and they laughed.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Rachel assured. With that, the bell rang and class started.
.
After first, second, third, and fourth period, I was officially convinced that a rumor about me had gone out. All of the stares and whispers increased as I struggled to ignore the attention. When it was lunch time, I rushed to the canteen with Anna and we quickly got our food. Then, we sat down at a table and started to eat. Not long after, Rachel joined us and we started talking. Then, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Chelsea and her crew looking down at me.

"Can I help you?" I asked.

"Well aren't you a little miss popular here now." Chelsea said.

"Leave her alone Chelsea." Rachel said but Chelsea glared at her.

"I wasn't talking to you." She said with a higher tone. Then, she turned to me again. "How about you join me and my crew at the popular table? You might as well use the attention as an advantage." She said.

"No thanks. I like where I am right now." I said, turning back around to my food. I felt a tap on my shoulder again.

"Excuse me?" She asked for clarification.

"I like my seat here." I clarified. She scoffed.

"You won't get popular with them." She said.

"I don't want to be popular." I said back.

"Chelsea just go. Your wasting our time." Anna said. Chelsea glared at me.

"You just made a big mistake." She said. Then, she walked off with her crew and we were left alone. What's her problem.

"Don't mind her. She just isn't used to getting rejected." Anna said and I nodded my head.

"She just wants you under her control since your getting popular. She doesn't like competition." Rachel added.

"But I'm not trying to compete with her." I said.

"I know but you're pretty, you have a nice body, and you're really good at dancing. She's jealous and she feels threatened." Rachel said.

"That's stupid." I said. At that, we started talking about other classes as we finished eating.
.
The bell rang and I am now nervously walking towards the dance room for sixth period. I really hope I got in. When I walked in, the teacher called me over to the corner.

"Hello sir." I greeted.

"Okay Jamie, I talked it over with the captain and I watched how you kept up yesterday. I was really impressed and you are a great dancer. You have good body control and abilities, precision, musicality, and focus. Congratulations, you're on the team!" He said. I jumped out of joy.

"Really?! Oh my gosh thank you so much!!!" I cheered with the biggest smile on my face. He laughed.

"Your welcome but work hard. From what I see, you are one of the best dancers here." He complimented and I thanked him. Then, he told me the names of everyone on the team. "With that said, go practice." He concluded. I bowed and thanked him. Then, I made my way to the team. I MADE IT! OH MY GOSH YES! When I got to the team, Jimin smiled at me.

"Welcome to the team." He said. I smiled back.

"Thanks." I replied. Wow, the first thing I hear from him and it's a compliment. It was probably just for a kind gesture as captain. I saw Chelsea glare at me from the corner of my eye. I looked away and listened to what Jimin was saying.

"Okay guys, we have a competition on Friday. That gives us three days of practice so keep up okay?" He said and everyone nodded. Then, we got into position and I was placed in the middle of the group. There were fifteen dancers in this class including me. Nine boys and six girls. We stood spaced out in three lines of five. The order was like this: left to right

First row:  Jhope, a girl named Bora, Jimin, a girl named Sunny, who is Chelsea's friend, Jungkook

Second row: a girl named Soyou, Taehyung, me, Suga, Chelsea

Third row: Rap Monster, a guy named Jackson, a girl named Jessica, who is also Chelsea's friend, a guy named Mark, and Jin

After we got into our positions, we warmed up and got started. Alright Jamie, show them what you got.
