Maybe It's a Start of Something New
A Super Junior/EXO Fan Fiction
Chapter One
‘Fresh air,’ was the first thing I thought when I arrived at this school’s lawn. This place wasn’t a new place to me. I have been coming here around this time of the year for I don’t remember how many years already. Yet every single time I step into here, the same thought comes to me and I feel so refreshed every time I’m here, not matter what time of the year was it.
Today was this school’s annual fun fair. All the lower form (Secondary One-Four) classes are required to have at least three game booths to entertain the guests that were coming today. For the Secondary Four classes, the four classes may combine together and form six game booths. You can also ask the school to provide you with a space and start an individual booth, too.
I was here just to pick up my sister after she’s done with her individual booth that she started with some of her friends. She’s one year younger than I am, yet we look alike as if we are of the same age, that’s why some people think we are twins when we are obviously not. Despise the age gap, we have a really close sister bond in between us compared to my bonds with my four other siblings.
I study in another school, that’s why I do not need to be here as a helper, I just have to be here as a guest for the time being. The only reason I am not in the same school as my sister is because of my history. It’s not like I like to talk about it. It’s my last year in Secondary school anyways.
I aimlessly wandered around the school campus for a while and let out a long sigh as I realized that their school has gotten bigger and bigger as time goes by. I went to the auditorium, just to check out what was in there since so many sounds were coming out from there. I opened the doors and when I realized what was in there, my eyes widen in shock.
Then there he was. Standing right there on stage was him, being as perfect as he could ever be. The reason why I actually changed schools – Henry Lau, member of the world famous group Super Junior – M.
I let little squeal of surprise escape my mouth. There were so many people in the hall and yet, they all managed to hear that squeal and turned their heads towards me and giving me full attention. I guess my squeal wasn’t as small as I thought it was…
I could feel my cheeks heat up as Henry and his group mates looked in my direction since they were following the stares of their fans. Henry’s eyes grew as wide as saucers; I guess he recognized me…
Before I knew it, my eyes were welling up in tears. I rushed out of the auditorium without a second thought.
I heard my name being called over and over again as I continued to run away from the auditorium. I ran and ran and ran without stopping until a strong hand stopped me from doing so.
I was abruptly turned around just to be greeted with those oh so familiar pair of dark brown memorizing eyes. I immediately looked at my shoes as if they were the most interesting objects on this planet.
Tears came again as I remembered how these pair of eyes were once the love of my life, and how these pair of eyes caused me a pain so deep that I lost the ability to love anyone. Not even myself. I hated myself the most, to be honest. I hated myself for my stupidity, my naïve personality and everything.
More and more tears came pouring down as I remembered all those times I believed that we would always be together and those times when I believed in fairytales. I was such a naïve child.
I mentally sighed and decided to man up and just face him. I took and deep breathe and looked up at him.
‘Err… Hi?’ I said.
‘Hey,’ He replied.
‘How have you been?’ I asked.
‘Fine… I guess,’ He said while scratching his head.
‘How’s Diane?’ I asked, was a hint of sarcasm in my voice. Diane was the son of a bitch that Henry used me to get close to. I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that they didn’t last long.
‘Err… We kind of broke up a few months ago.’ He replied scratching his head again.
‘Oh…’ was the only reply I could make. This whole conversation is so awkward. We haven’t seen each other for so long and we never did contact each other during this period of time.
‘You see… I realized that she wasn’t the one for me a few months ago, so that’s why I broke up with her. Yet I don’t think she is anywhere near the word ‘happy’ with that news… she kept on annoying me and bugging me…,’ He paused and continued after taking a deep breathe, ‘I was wondering if you had a way to make her stop or something like that…’ He asked with sincerity in his voice though he was looking at the ground as if it was really interesting.
‘What exactly do you want me to do?’ I asked, genuinely curious.
‘I’m not sure yet… I guess be my fake girlfriend for a few months?’ he suggested.
‘I don’t know Henry… After all that you have done to me four years ago… I really don’t know.’ I said in a joking tone.
‘Aw… Come on Clauds. I guess it’s going to be fun and I can finally apologize for what I have done? Maybe it’s a start of something new for the two of us!’ He suggested cheerfully.
I sighed and said with a smile on my face, ‘Oh well… I guess I could give it a try. It should be a great opportunity for revenge, isn’t it?’
‘No! Don’t you remember what happened the last time you trusted him? That time four years ago? He used you just to get close to her? He freaking used you! You’re such an idiot! The lesson last time wasn’t good enough was it?’ My inner voice yelled at me.
‘Shut up inner voice. This is none of your business.’
‘Yesh! Thanks so much Claudia! So can we start the acting right after our performance here today? Apparently she’s here today…’ He asked hopefully.
‘Sure. So where should we meet up?’ I asked.
‘Err… I think I’m going to bring you bring you backstage and you should wait for me there okay?’ He suggested.
‘Kay. Oh can I ask my sister to come and find me in the backstage? I guess she would like to meet her ultimate K-POP crush.’ I said with a smirk.
‘Okay. So shall we, my lady?’ He asked with a cheeky grin on his face.
‘We shall.’ I answered while laughing and started walking.
‘This should be a start of something new. Who knows what the future holds for me?’ I thought to myself.
