I woke up with one of those really annoying alarm ring tones that make you want to kill yourself in your sleep just so you never have to hear it again. Slowly I sat up, ran a hand over my face and made my way to lock my door, to change into my clothes for my 8 hours of hell. As much as I hated it, there was a body mirror in my room and I happened to stop right in front of it. I stood there, taking a look at myself. I had orange-ish-brown hair, a pair of slight brown eyes, chubby cheeks, and a problem body. I hated the way I looked. The way my stomach jutted out over the waistline of my pants, my thicker-than-normal thighs, and small chubby hands, not to mention my butt.
I took in a deep breath and just sighed out, today...was going to be the same as yesterday and tomorrow, and the day after.
I grabbed a light colored t-shirt and dark pair of jeans, feeling the fabric harshly against my thighs. Pulling a hoodie on, I grabbed my converse and walked out of my bedroom."Morning Jimin, honey why don't you sit and have a few pancakes before you go?" My mom greeted as I walked in the kitchen. The offer was tempting but I had a slightly nauseous feeling after critiquing the shit out of myself 3 minutes ago.
"I'm good mom thanks, I'm going to leave a bit earlier today, I have to do some studying." I lied.
"Alright honey, just make sure you eat something at school"
"Mmkay.." Lazily replying as I wore my shoes and walked out the door. I shifted my back pack strap as I continued walking down my street towards my school which luckily wasn't far from my house.
*~*
Jeon Jungkook...the definition of why I hated school more than myself."Yah, Fatty why do bother showing up when you look like that?" Jungkook taunted.
"Please Jungkook it's too early for this." I pleaded, seeing as now others had joined jungkook at teasing me. I spotted as Min Yoongi the school's hearthrob and play boy walked by and made eye contact with me. Well that was a first, he only notices the attractive people, not to mention, he's probably straight.
But it hadn't just stopped there, our gaze stayed a second longer and I dropped my eyes lower to notice the sly smirk on his face. I wasn't surprised, he would laugh at me too, he's done it before, not as often as Jungkook and not for the same reason as him and the other either, but for saying something stupid one time and now it had turned to ridicule me. Which was surprising that he hadn't made funny of me because I was fat. I guess there's a first for everything and now was his moment. I snapped out of my thoughts as I noticed his gaze flicker to my stomach then to my eyes and back at Jungkook, I don't know what I should've felt at that moment but comfortable was not one of them.
"YAH ARE YOU DEAF AND FAT? I TOLD YOU--"
"Jungkook what are you doing man, it's too early, you're making too much noise can you just shut up please, you sound like a fly." WHAAT.... DID YOONGI JUST TELL JUNGKOOK TO SHUT UP....WAIT HE JUST STOPPED HIM FROM YELLING AT ME ...WTF.?!!
My mind was on hyperdrive and I was very aware of my burning cheeks.
"Uh-um I'm sorry I have to get to class." I uttered as an excuse to escape the situation, I sent a grateful look to Yoongi for intervening indirectly. He smirked back and I would have missed it if I had walked away a second earlier.
WHAT IS WITH HIM AND SMIRKING, IT'S WORRYING ME. I quickly slipped into my class getting stares from the class and making my way to my seat quietly.*~*
During lunch I walked to my little area beside the football field close to a big tree that provided a nice amount of shade. I sat down and opened my lunchbox my mom had prepared the day before, she really was a sweet woman, only if she knew food wasn't affecting me positively. I stared down at the bowl of chicken and rice and heard the grumbling of my stomach.
'One bite won't hurt I guess.' I thought to myself. Being in thought, I had forgotten and before I knew it, my chopsticks scraped the empty bowl, and I looked down. I felt tears prick my eyes. I ate the whole bowl. I shouldn't have done that, great, now I've really made a fool of myself, but even worse than that was that I still felt hunger clawing at me.
"Haven't you had enough?" I yelled at myself not aware of a figure approaching me.
"Who's had enough of what?"
This snapped me out of my thoughts as I looked up in shock and fear to see Yoongi standing infront of me.
"U-Um... n-nothing." I replied quietly as my cheeks began to burn. 'Why was he here?' I asked myself, I chose this spot because no one comes here, so why was HE here?He let out a sigh as he dropped his backpack next to me and slid down to lean his body against the tree.
"Why do sit here, no one comes here?" He asked his gaze shifting towards me as he spoke. I looked down
"Um.. I don't know, it's quiet and peaceful I guess." I replied truthfully
"You should really stand up to Jungkook when he says stuff like that ya know?" He spoke and it surprised me. This was more than weird at this point. I was having a conversation with the school's playboy, Min Yoongi and he wasn't insulting me.
"Uh o-okay." I replied hesitantly, not knowing where this was going. I decided to thank him for intervening earlier today of it hadn't been for that, I would have been harassed for much longer.
"Um thanks for helping me get out of that situation before." I said while looking down at my lap.
"Oh that? Don't worry about it, Jungkook really was being extra and I guess someone had to collect him." He replied chuckling slightly.
I couldn't help but crack a smile at this. And it seemed that he noticed.
"You should smile more, you look cuter." His words weren't fake or forced, it was true and genuine, that's what really scared me. I looked down as a blush crept on my face.
"Thanks." I muttered under my breath. I suddenly felt a slight pressure on my cheek, I looked up to realize that Yoongi's finger was planted in my chubby cheek."Your cheeks are so soft, oh my goshh." He seemed quite amused at this. I didn't know how to react, and being the awkward fool I am I apologized quietly.
"...sorry."
"Why are you sorry, you didn't do anything, and I was wondering, would you mind if I sat here during lunch with you, you look lonely and I'm quite fed up with my friends at the moment?" He asked eyes never leaving mine. I began to take notice of his features, he had grayish died hair a sharp jawline, unlike mine, slitted dark eyes, and an overall grumpy looking expression although he seemed nice. I guess this is how you became a playboy. Jus be nice to everyone. I realized I hadn't answered his question and quickly turned my attention back to him.
"uh, yeah sure I don't mind, but are you sure you want to do that, I kinda don't have a nice reputation at this school I don't want you to have problems for sitting with me at lunch." I replied cautiously.
"Nonsense, those people are stupid, don't listen to them." My heart did a little dance to this and it felt weird, this had never happened before, it feels wierd.
"What are you eating?" He asked shifting closer to me to peer into my bowl and see it empty.
"Oh you finished, we'll that's no fun, you have no food." I watched him as he pulled out a small container filled with tiny pastries. They looked really good.
I watched as he opened it and took one out with his slim fingers.
"Here do you want some?" He asks me but I can feel heat rise to my cheeks, I wanted it so bad, but I thought about my tummy and how it was currently resting on the waistline of my jeans slightly pinching and sticking out, and I thought of my thighs and how ugly they probably looked right now, I began to think again but it was too late. His fingers had reached my lips and he was instructing me to open my mouth, he slipped the cute pastry in my mouth and watched me eat it, then he ate one.
"Gosh, aren't these good, my mom's a really good Baker."
"Yeah...I-I'ts really good." I wasn't lying, it tasted amazing and his mom was talented but I felt really bad for eating it now. But there was no use crying over spilt milk. The damage was done and I could do nothing about it. The lunch bell finally rang and I got up and so did he we quietly walked back to the school buildings and he bid me goodbye as I went to my next class. I knew I wouldn't be able to focus now due to the previous events that occurred in the past 45 minutes.
