Jennie's POV

"...lady! Wake up, spare the seat for me. You! Sleep head! Get out of the seat..." I peeped through my eye to see an old man yelling at me.

I sat up straight, rubbed my eyes and tried to recollect my thoughts. I glanced at my watch, it was 8.10 am. I was 10 minutes late for my first day at school. I hurriedly stood up, picked up my bag, apologised to the old hag, picked up my bag, got out of the bus and started running to my school building.

First day at school and you are already late. Great work, Jennie!

I straightened my hair, rubbed my face to make myself look presentable. I reached the building at 8.22 am, I slowed down because I didn't know where to go now. I had no idea where my class was. Suddenly I hit upon the fact that I had the school guide map in my bag. At the very moment I took the bag off my shoulder and began to search for it in vain.

"...Umm! Excuse me, what are you doing?"

I thought it was the headmaster, I got scared, I didn't move an inch from my position. The man leaned down to see my face.

Oh that ain't the headmaster!

"Guess what! You are new here", that guy said mockingly.

I quickly stood up to face him, leaving my bag on the floor.

"Yeah! I'm new here...", I replied with fake calmness while putting the tendrils at the back of my ears.

He smiled at me, glanced at his watch, then said, "Well if you are here, then shouldn't you be in class right now? You see you are 25 minutes late" and showed me his watch.

"Yeah! I know..." I said looking anywhere but him. I saw the school corridors and the ground all empty.

"You are lost!", he smirked at me and caught me off guard. I looked at him appalled, he sensed my confusion and said, "...so if you are lost", I glared at him, "...I can take you to your class, Jen-nie" while peeping at my ID card.

I quickly flipped its backside at front and he laughed lightly.

"Even though I'm not lost but you can still show me my class, it'll save my time", I replied acting confidently.

He took me to my class and said at the door, "This is the sculpture class you were looking for" and smiled at me.

I ran my fingers through my hair, cleaned the dirt off my face with my fingers and uttered a short thank you to him. He laughed at me, turned away while I was still looking at him.

Then he turned back, waved at me and said, "By the way, I'm Xiumin!" He winked at me and turned back laughing.

Xiumin! What an idiot he is!

Now I had to enter the classroom, I hoped that the idiot had showed me the right room. My watch told me I was half an hour late for class. I hoped the teacher won't notice me going in now. So here it goes!
