3 weeks later...
I was applying my mascara very precisely when...DING. I got a text, and the damn ringtone scared me, making me smear mascara all up my eyelid.
"Love my life.", I sighed.
I looked at my phone to see a text from Jungkook.
"Lily, I'm terrified."
Jungkook was finally starting school again after taking a few weeks to enjoy his time being back with his family, and from the sound of it, he's pretty nervous.
Lily: Hey, it'll be alright. I got you. ❤️
Jungkook: But we aren't even in the same grade so I won't have ANYBODY to talk to. 😩
Lily: Pls don't worry. You'll make plenty of friends and I'll see you at lunch. But yo, remember to be at my house at 7:30 so we can walk to school together.
Jungkook: Yes ma'am. ❤️
Lily: I think you mean sir.
Jungkook: wut
Lily: jk...
Jungkook: oh...k
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Bye mom! Bye dad! Love you!", I shouted over my shoulder as I headed out the front door. I peered down the sidewalk to see that Jungkook was already making his way towards my house.
"Right on time!", I exclaimed before embracing him in a hug.
"Wouldn't wanna be late on my first day of my senior year...or my second first day of my senior year shall I say.", he said with a chuckle. I could tell he was nervous from the way he was gripping on to his book bag strap.
"Hey, no being nervous.", I said while nudging him. "Keep your head up and smile, and you'll make friends immediately. I promise. The seniors at my school are super nice. Most of them anyways."
"Most?", he gulped.
"YOU WILL BE FINE, JUNGKOOK."
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We finally arrived at school, and Jungkook took a deep breath before we pushed past the heavy double doors.
"Come on, I'll take you to the office to get your schedule.", I said as he trailed behind me like a lost puppy.
We entered the office to be greeted by Mrs. Chwe, the secretary. "Hello, Lily! Who's your friend?", she greeted sweetly. "Hi Mrs. Chwe! This is Jeon Jungkook, a new senior. We just stopped by to get his schedule."
"Ah yes, Mr. Jeon! Let me see...", she rummaged through a stack of papers before pulling out the one we needed. "Here you go! Have a good day!", she said before we thanked her and left. I lead Jungkook down the Senior hall and to his first class. "Alright, this is as far as I go.", I said while handing him his schedule. He looked at me with worried eyes. "You've got this.", I whispered before pecking him on the cheek.
He gave me a bashful smile before he slowly turned the knob and entered his classrooms. I gave him one last boost of encouragement by giving him a thumbs up before he disappeared behind the door.
Please meet some nice friends.
