The Girl With The Red Converse

18: Masks

As soon as the mask was taken off of Lyn, all of Seventeen covered her from the crowd.

S. Coups lifted the crazy girl who wore a surgical mask from Lyn and dropped her on the side.

Whoever who had a jacket on covered Lyn as much as possible.

Seungkwan was busy doing crowd control.

"Hello, everyone. This is Diva Boo. Please, go inside and wait for the dismissal bell to ring thank you, goodbye!" He waved everyone off.

To everyone's surprise, Lyn was wearing a mask that covered her mouth and nose.

She immediately jumped up.

"Ah! Jesus Christ, girl. You better be praying to God to forgive your sins before I send you back down to the hell you crawled out from!"

Lyn lifted up the girl from the ground by her collar, but was immediately grabbed from doing anything.

"Let's not do that," Mark was holding Lyn and put her farther away from the girl. Mark grabbed Lyn's mask and put it on Lyn face, intentionally snapping the back strap.

"Ow!" Lyn yelped a little.

The other girl meanwhile recomposed herself. "What did you say? Do you wanna die? Bitch, come at me."

Mark let Lyn go. "I am no longer liable for whatever she does."

The other girl was about to slap Lyn, but Lyn grabbed both of her arms kicked her feet up causing her to lose balance and let her go. Just before the girl hit the ground Lyn grabbed her arms again and dropped her softly so she wouldn't get that hurt.

"Next time, I won't save you," Lyn said.

The girl sat up and everyone circled her.

"Who are you?" Vernon asked.

She took her mask off and revealed herself.

"Michelle?" DK asked as his heart sunk.

"How do you know her?" Hoshi asked.

"She's the girl... I mean she sits next to me in math," DK's voice cracked a bit.

"Why did you do that?" Jeonghan asked.

"That," Michelle said while pointing at Lyn. "Was getting too close to The8 during the performance. As his obvious soon to be wife, I had to keep any trash from him."

"Hey! That's too much!" Lyn jumped up again, but this time it was Mingyu who lifted her up and carried her away.

"Alright, you need to chill. Michelle, the principal and police officer will deal with you now. Good luck, because I doubt we'll see you around the school ever again," Mingyu said casually.

Michelle gasped. "Who gave you the right to talk to me that way? The only thing you have going for you is your looks. You have no talent whatsoever."

Joshua suddenly appeared with a bucket of just ice, not even water, and dumped it on the girl.

The police officer escorted her away and the 15 young adults were left to themselves.

"Sorry about the sasaeng fan. Our security did not act fast enough," S.Coups and the other bowed.

"It's chill. Definitely not the first time, someone tried to reveal our faces to the world," Mark explained.

"Anyway, the performance was amazing! Thank you for accepting our request to collab with you," Hoshi said.

"No problem! All of us did very well out there. I hope we can do it again sometime!" Lyn exclaimed.

Seventeen's manager whispered in S.Coups' ear.

"Ah, sorry. We have to go back to our studio and work. We will see each other again at the talent show right?" S.Coups said.

Mark and Lyn nodded.

"Say the name!"

"Seventeen! Thank you!"

They all waved bye and Mark and Lyn headed back inside.

"That was something," Lyn said.

"Yep, you're okay right? Not hurt or anything?" Mark asked, worried.

"I'm fine. The only thing that might have hurt was when you slapped my mask back on." Lyn laughed and nudged Mark, playfully.

They reached their practice room and took off their masks.

Lyn's face showed a large cut from her temple to her cheekbone.

"Lyn! Go to the nurse!" Mark shouted.

The dismissal bell rang a few minutes ago so all the students had already left to go home.

"Yeah, yeah. It's not even that bad," Lyn left the room and headed down the hallway.

Lyn had a small paper towel covering her small cut and when she got to the nurse's office, the nurse gave her wet wipes to clean it, gauze, and a whole roll of medical tape.

She was directed to the bathroom where she had to care of herself.

"What even, Nurse Engel. You just gave me things and told me to it myself what kind of nurse are you?" Lyn muttered under her breath.

She sighed. She cleaned up her cut and realized that it was still bleeding. Lyn took a thin piece of gauze,  applied a small amount of pressure to the cut and stuck small pieces of tape to keep the gauze in place.

After she looked at her face one more time, she decided that it's as good as it would get and headed out.

As Lyn walked down the hallway, she heard clicks of a camera behind her. She stopped for a moment, but acted casually and then quickly turned around.

There was a bright flash of light and the hallway became silent. No one was there.

Lyn turned around and rushed to the art room, locking the door behind her.
