I really love sleep, and I say love I mean 'REALY' love my sleep and when some one messes with it I get pissed. So when Jackie wakes me up to a scream I get angry and throw the thing that's closest to me; in this case a pillow. I didn't even to bother opening my eyes to tell her to shut up. I put my finger to my mouth "shhhhhh"
I laid back down and put a pillow over my face. I hear muffled voices that I make out to be Haru telling us if we don't be ready in 20 minutes were late!!! I already don't know my way around school so that's 15 minutes shaved off witch leaves me basically only 5 minutes!
I bolt up and run to the bathroom dodging Amber who was on her way out the bathroom. I quickly brush my teeth and put on my uniform.
As for my hair..... I guess a pony tail with the bangs out will have to do today.
I hear Jackie rushing me as I'm sliding in my knee high socks and black vans. After I'm done I take a quick look in the mirror. I actually don't look like shit for once, now that's a big deal!!

Like I said I knew we were going to be lost and I'm pretty sure the first bell rung like 5 minutes ago. As I'm fixing the bow on my collar Jackie doesn't realize that's some ones heading her way. Before I could say any thing they had all ready crashed!
Well I say crash more like Jackie fell down and he stayed still. As she scrambled to bring her self back up she started apologizing profusely, but the tall boy raised his hand meaning for her to stop talking basically. Straighten himself up and walked away. Gee he was so cold towards her. He could've at least asked her if she was OK!
We frown at each other then I link arms with her and we continue on our way.
Eventually stumbled across a teacher in the hall we asked him where Ms.Woon's class was.
At first he looked unsure ,looking to the end of the hall on the right then looking to the end of the hall on the left. Said only a student with the most adorable glasses and white hair started walking down the hall.

"Ahhh, Neramith  would you please take these young ladies to Ms.Woon's class?"
The boy named Neramith  look exasperated. He put his book up and started walking and we follow along.
I just had the best idea!! Because of my social awkwardness it makes it hard to make new friends so why not become friends with one person and then automatically become friends with their friends!!! I had made a new mission in my head to become best friends with that boy!! This filled me with determination!
There's just one problem.... I don't know what to say.
Luckily for me Jackie goes on to start the conversation. By telling him his name is cool. Which it fucking is cool!
Suddenly I find myself blurting out
"I think we're going to be best friends!" And passing security guard tell me to quiet down. Jackie whisper yells "yeah". Well at least we can be awkward together. I hear him chuckle under his breath, and I decide to play along.
And almost at the same time we linked arms with him, but he shook us off. Messing with him was actually really fun!
"He totally loves us!!" I say
He brings us to class and we say our good byes before I walk in the class room I peak my head out
"I hope we see you again!" I say with a friendly smile and he simple nods the walks away.
All most on cue the whole class turned there heads. It freaked me out, it was like some thing out of a horror film!
"Now that our two new students decided to join us we can start class." Ms.Woon says
Jackie leave me to go sit in the front of the class. Well so much for sticking together!!
I scan the room looking for an empty seat.
Aha!! I found one next to a guy on the very back row.
I make my way to the seat, and class starts.
Is it just me or do I keep hearing whispers. I look around nervously when the guy next to me who kept quiet until now spoke up.
"There talking about you and your friend" he says. He must have noticed me worrying about it.
"Yeah I kinda had a feeling about it" I say Turing to look at him. He's so attractive from his side profile. I find myself starring at him but stop my self before he notices. He's kind of  intimidating but seems like a smart guy.

Today we will be reading one of the greatest English literatures of all time.No Fear Shakespeare,Romeo and Juliet."A wolf whistle cut her off."Thanks for your interest Jihyun.Now everyone will be reading a part and if you don't get a role,you will get a 0 for your participation grade today."
To that everyone let out sounds of dismay,"Silence,"everyone quieted down,"Now,who will be the chorus?"
A rather tall boy raised his hand,"I will,I can sing."he bragged.And as she went on she was getting upset and started making people play roles because no one would raise their hand for one."Lady Montague?"She looked around and no one raised their hand or made eye contact. Jackie raised her hand and the teacher smiled sweetly at her.
Thank god I didn't get a part i would find away to fuck it up some how, but I wish the bot next to me got a role. I want to hear his voice more..... Oh my god that sounded creepy!
A nice melody plays.
"Break time everyone,I will see you back in thirty minutes."she left the class. The once quiet class suddenly turns lively. Jackie comes over and sits on my desk.
A few minutes later a group of girls came up to us. For better visualization picture a Korean group of mean girls.
Jackie get fed up us there bs and leaves the class. Oh the drama......
After she left they turn there attention to me.
"Don't think you can get away with the stunt she just pulled off!!" She yells at me "she got off on a warning. Next time you friend won't be so lucky!"
"But as I recall she's the one who got the last laugh didn't she?" Is this girl serious right now?! The whole class silences with exception of a couples of oohs. The group of girls start walking towards me. I automatically start backing away. As they're surrounding me they start calling me names like midget, bitch, A midget bitch!! What the hell is up with these girls?! It's like something straight out of the Korean drama!
The most important me why are they backing me up in a corner?! As all these thoughts are racing through my head I didn't notice that the quiet boy that sat next to me had gotten up. He grabbed me by the wrist and started pulling me out the class.
"HEY! What're y-" one glance from him and I shut up. Well he could at least be more gentle he's hurting my wrist!!
He drags me around the corner, traps me between his arms, and opens his mouth to say something. I finally get a good look at his face. Damn I was right he is rather handsome and tall. Bonus points!!

"Are you a freaking idiot?" He says harshly "excuse me..?" Why is he being rude all of the sudden? "If you know what's good for you, you'd stay away from those girls unless you want to make you life a living hell." How could he say all these rude things with such a cool face?!
I shrink under his cold gaze. We stand there for what seems like forever but in reality it's like 30 seconds. He moves he's hand out the way and walks the opposite way if the class room.
God I feel like an idiot! I'm just standing there blushing with my heart racing! Should I follow him?
I should really thank him for getting out of that situation...
Ugh fuck it! I start walking down the same way he went.

Minutes later and I still haven't found him I thought I saw him walk through the door....
What the hell? I look up to the sign that's hanging
"east wing...!!" WHAT but my class was in the west wing!! Oh crap, I'm lost again!
I look down on my phone to check the time. Only ten more minuets if break left and I have no idea how to get back.
Five more minutes pass

Ugh come on!!! I can't believe this is happening. I have the worst luck. Look down at my wrist where the tall boys hands have been.
"Still red I see..." I touch it and wince. Didn't hurt this bad before....
As I am distracted looking at my wrist something hits me up my head.
WHACK!!
I turn and see how it's was
"YOU!! did you just hit me?!" No answer. It was the tall hot boy and he's holding a thick book. I see so that's what he hit me with.
He sighs "come on." He grabs my writs again but this time more gentle
I can walk he doesn't have to keep holding me. "You are so stupid."
"H-hey..."
"First staring then stalking me you must really like me." He says. Fuck he knew I was staring at him
"I didn't do that!" I start blushing again "...... ok maybe that starting part but not the stalking!"
"Oh really they will be doing following me?" He looks back at me then ahead again
"......." I guess that was kinda stalking him. I stayed quiet for the rest of the way, dragging my feet behind me.
He leads me to class with still time to spare and the girls wear no where to be found. I'm guessing they're ditching.
He speaks up "you got lost back there didn't you"
"....." Again I stayed silent i'm already in barest enough
"What? come on. Fess up."
"N-no I don't get lost!!"I lied to him not wanting to be any more embarrassed. "are you sure about that? That wasn't the way back to the class."
"I was just going to the bathroom!"
He crossed his arms obviously not buying it.
"....... The Bathroom was also the opposite way." He says
"Ngh...." I let out a weird sound of defeat
"God." I her him sigh then reaching in his bag taking out a candy bar. He held it out to me
"What's this?"
"Your brain needs sugar to function and you obviously need it more than others"
"!!!!" That's so mean I hesitantly take the candy bar
"Thanks..." I said while gazing at the candy bar in my hands.
".... And also I'm sor...." He mumbled the last part so I didn't hear him
Awkwardly scratches the back of his neck then taking my wrist in his hand.
"i'll take you to the nurses after this class" he says well inspecting my wrist. So he noticed that my wrist hurt....
I can't tell if he's an asshole or nice guy!!
"No it's OK it doesn't hurt that bad anymore!!" I smile and shake my head, but he insisted. Later the teacher clothes back in the room and we continue our lesson. I continue sneaking glimpses of him next to me.
