Chapter 6

Xiumin

I was planning on going home after school but I decided to go to a nearby convenient store to eat snacks. I go into the store and grab my snacks and pay for it at the counter. I was greeted by Yoongi, a senior with mint green hair at my school.

"Hey Yoongi," I said as he started to scan my food.

"Hey Xiumin. Yo before I got here I saw your girlfriend with another guy. Did you know about that?" he said with his eyebrows lifted. I rolled my eyes

"Yeah, she told me. We were supposed to go out to drink bubble tea but she ditched me to show the new kid around. He chuckles and takes my money.

"You didn't deny she was you girlfriend," he mutters. I glared at him and take my food. I lean against the counter and start eating at my snacks.

"You already know she's not my girlfriend so why bother."

"Ah, you jealous? I know how much you like the girl," he said as he sat down on a chair, waiting for the next customer to come in. I nodded slowly and puffed out my cheeks.

"Then confess," he said, saying it as if it was the easiest things to do.

"It's not as easy as you think though. What if she doesn't like me back? What if our friendship becomes awkward? What if we never talk again because she will feel uncomfortable around me? What if-," Yoongi interrupts and tells me to shut up.

"Stop with the 'what ifs' and just go confess," Yoongi says rolling his eyes. "You may never get the chance again. That new kid could take her away plus its better than doing nothing."

"Ah you're right. I should, shouldn't I?" I say and he nods his head and sighs.

"I bet the girl already really likes you anyways. You've been friends with her for ages so why wouldn't she like you," he says and I shrug.

"Girls are hard to understand," we both nod at each other.

DING

A customer walks in and I realise that she is a girl from our school. She has black hair and is quite short. She has headphones on and walks straight to the drinks aisle.

"Welcome," Yoongi lazily says as he starts to get up from his seat.

She goes around the store and grabs the things she needs and puts them on the counter. She turns to me and blushes quite a light pink.

"Hi Xiumin," she says as she slightly bows.

She knows me? I don't recognise her though. I try to remember if she was in any of my classes but I can't quite put my finger on it.

"It's Mary. I'm in your science class," she says as she gives me a shy smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't recognise you for a minute," I say as I still try to recall memories of seeing her.

"It's fine, really. Have you done the science prac yet?" She says as she pays for her food. Yoongi silently listens in on our conversation as he scans the items.

"Ah, I'm almost done but I don't think I did it right," I say with a pout.

"If you want, I-i could help you," she shyly says and blushes.

"Oh really! I would really like if you could help me. Ah! I think I brought it with me." I start looking through my backpack and pull out my work and pass it to her.

We start to walk over to a table and eat our snacks. She teaches really well and the way she explained things made it much easier for me.

By the time we finished, I hadn't realised how late it was until Yoongi told us that he was closing up.

"Bye Yoongi," I say with a small wave and he looks up from his book and nods his head. I walk out the store with Mary by my side.

"I should walk you home. It's not safe for a girl like you to be walking home by herself," I say.

"Okay, if you say so," she says and looks down at her feet.

We start walking to her house and we talk about the different things about ourselves.

"Oh really! I wouldn't of imagined you as a chubby kid though," she says whilst laughing at the photo I showed her.

I pout and she stops walking.

"We can stop here now. Thank you for walking me home, Xiumin," she says and looks down at her feet.

"It's fine," I say as I give her a small smile.

She blushes and stands on her toes and gives me a kiss on the cheek. My eyes widen in shock and I stay still for a minute. She rushes into her house and closes the door quickly. I quickly walk home and slightly touch my cheek. What was that for?

I see Truc walking alone in an empty alley and start to run towards her. She doesn't notice I'm there until I put my arm around her. She silently gasps and touches her chest.

"My god! You scared me!" she says as she takes deep breaths. I laugh and ruffle her hair.

"God, you're cute."

Y'all I'll be starting a new book on Mary's perspective soon.
