Orphan Willow

Chapter 2

The bell rang and again, Willow was the first out of the class. She couldn't pretend that those guys hadn't scared her, they had. She found her locker and shoved her bag in, taking out her lunch money. She then followed her map to the canteen. It was busy already when she got there, and she headed to the menu. There was nothing much she liked, owing to the fact that she was and always had been an extremely fussy eater. She took a bottle of water and headed out onto the field. Finding a deserted tree, she sat underneath in the shade, taking her mini sketchbook out of her blazer and doodling. There were a group of scruffy boys playing football on the field. Not just any scruffy boys. Namjoon, Jin, Taehyung and Jimin were there. Along with the other boy from Chemistry, who had mint green dyed hair, and two others both with black hair and ear to ear smirks.

She sighed. She was in direct view of them, and didn't really want to be noticed. Willow was about to move to a more secluded location, when her brother Dae, and a few new friends, appeared on the field and began heading over to the thugs. She expecting shit to go down, but Namjoon greeted Dae's friends like they were buddies, and they joined in the game. She sighed again, and laid back on the grass, looking up at the clear blue sky dotted between the green leaves and twisting branches.

"Willow? Willow?!"

Willow woke to find Dae leaning over her, "Mmm.. What is it now?" She groaned.

"You were sleeping..." Dae frowned.

"I was?! Oh no," she sat up abruptly, gaining her bearings, "What did I miss?"

"Nothing.. The ball went over here and I noticed you were asleep.." Dae sniggered, patting her on the head.

"Hey don't do that!" She recoiled, slapping his arm, "You scared me I thought I'd missed class."

"Mhm. Like you did earlier?" Dae sighed, helping her to her feet, "I thought we agreed clean slate this time. No funny business."

"How did you know-" she began and then she saw Namjoon smirking at her from the football pitch. She scowled, "You know what, I can't believe I even asked."

"What? Your friends told me-" Dae crossed his arms.

"They aren't my friends! They're the schools thugs! And if you know what's good for you, you'll stay far away!" Willow growled and headed back towards the school building.

Willow decided to skip her next lesson too. The rooftop was a nice escape and PE was not her forte. She was leaning on the balcony, looking out at the town, when she heard footsteps on the stairs. Her eyes widened and the hairs on the back of her next pricked, as the doors creaked open.

"Well, well, well... If it isn't the newbie.." Namjoon spoke, and there was laughter so she suspected the whole gang was there, "Skipping lessons again? You are a bad girl."

Willow turned to find Namjoon was directly in front of her. She stared into his dark eyes and he stared back.

"What do you want now?" She frowned, gathering courage.

"If you don't mind this is actually our spot.." The mint green haired boy said.

"Not anymore it isn't.."

"Wrong answer.." Namjoon shook his head, "Search her."

Taehyung and the younger looking black haired boy stood forward and began rummaging through her bag and pockets. There was a clinking of chains and Taehyung pulled out a golden necklace from her blazer pocket. A necklace that is, that held a large ornate locket. Namjoon snatched it from him, pocketing it quickly. Willows eyes were wide, she hadn't known that was there. She stumbled backwards slightly and clung to the railings. The boys all shot her filthy looks.
