Deep And Dark (A Forbidden Romance) || Jungkook

What the hell (and a new friend)

First few days was really all tests, lessons and more tests.

Then I would see how long that Jeon Jungkook could stay all proud and cocky. Yeah, I found out his name. To think if I didn't do a little sneak-around myself, I would never have known even the name of my desk partner, let alone anything about his family or life. Truth was, I had been dying to know the name of this boy I used to find really cute and cool (take note I said used to), but failed because when we played ice-breaker games on the first day of school, he just sat there writing stuff like it was nobody's business.

Sure, it was the teacher's instructions. But not like he cared, anyway.

And it seemed to me that everything he did, he was forced to do it. He didn't seem in the least bit friendly, or show the least bit of interest in his work, and definitely did not pay the least bit of attention in class.

Cute? Cool? Yeah, I must have been blind. He's just stuck up - that's what he is. He doesn't give any shits in this world; he lives like he owns this earth.

But the thing that irked me the most was his results. How could one sit there in class daydreaming all day, doing his own stuff as and when he pleased, appearing like he doesn't pay the slightest bit of attention in class..... yet when the class test results come out, he's like .................................. the top.

You're right, I said the top.

THE TOP

The top in the class, top in the level, top in the entire school. What the hell...

Jeon Jungkook is a genius. A plain genius. I could scream all day and all night long but it wouldn't work. If I took a break from paying attention in class for like a mere five minutes, then I think it would be time to say goodbye to the hankered-after top few positions in class. If I so much as dropped an eraser and bent over to save it from being murdered by someone's shoes, then I would be a goner in my studies. Ok, enough about Jungkook. I don't wish to think about him. I just don't know what to think about him.

Meanwhile, and fortunately, I managed to find a really kind-hearted friend within the first week of school. She wasn't that strong in academics, but anything else apart from studies and you could go on and on listing her strengths. She was kind, understanding, generous, hardworking, sweet, selfless, caring...... ok this list could go on forever (wait am I exaggerating if I am then I'm sorry but not really because I'm just over-the-top elated that a really really really really really nice girl would choose me as a friend). And honoured too. But before I forget, her name is Park Rae Jin. I wasn't kidding when I listed those words to describe her. She's a real sunshine, and a great listening ear. Call it affinity, or whatever you like, but we get along really well. And that's the most important of all.

Rae Jin and I started to hang out together at breaks; recesses, lunches and even our weekend leisure hours. Since I felt that she might be just the perfect friend to confide in, I decided to tell her about Jungkook.

Throughout all our conversations, I learnt that Rae Jin was in this school for the longest time possible, which probably explained her widespread popularity. She was the perfect mentor for me; guiding me in the basics and rules of the school, and being my "tour guide" for the first few weeks. She was really patient, considering that alot of people this age nowadays would get pissed after showing you around once or twice. Rae Jin also pointed out all the newbies in our class, as well as the popular ones, the smarties, the jokers... and lots more.

When she heard about Jungkook, she shared that he was quite new in this school - not much more familiar than I was to the systems here, as he had only started attending lessons here for not more than two terms. "He's quite unfriendly, I agree. But he usually keeps to himself. In the entire school, I think I only know of one guy who knows Jungkook really well. If I'm not wrong, he's in a grade above us. They always hang out and do stuff together. I've heard of him before though, quite bubbly and talkative; totally opposite from Jungkook... but they get along well so... I think his name is Kim....."

But I wasn't listening anymore. I do know he was unfriendly and all towards anyone and everyone, maybe with the exception of that guy Rae Jin was talking about, but definitely he was the worst to me. Colder and stranger to anyone, I'm sure, he has ever been. I just knew it. I could feel it. And it wasn't my fault.

Or was it?
