The day goes by really fast, which is unusual, but it might just be because I've been day dreaming about Iris all day. With her long chestnut hair, and I noticed that her eyes turn into little crescents when she smiles.

How adorable.

I love eye smiles.

Soon enough, it's time for the last period of the day, which is P.E. For me. I arrive in the boys locker room with I sigh.

The jocks are talking again as always. Even in the guys locker room there's gossip. It's usually just the popular jocks talking about girls they like and what they've done with their girlfriends. It gets boring, so I usually tune them out.

The news that I like the new girl has already spread throughout my group of twelve friends, and I don't mind. Friends are supposed to tell each other everything, so there's no need to keep it a secret. The only problem is that they like to tease me, because I've never had a crush before... They think it's...

Cute.. The way I act around her. They say I get all shy and that my face turns pink.

Why can't I just be manly?

I make it to my locker and go to turn my combination, when I suddenly feel someone's arm around my shoulder. I grin as I immediately know that it's the stunning Kim Jongin, also known as Kai. He could definitely be in the popular crowd as a jock if he wanted to, considering how athletic and charming he is. He has tanned skin, with always perfectly styled jet black hair. Not to mention his athletic build and figure. He's always showing off his abs, and thats what makes girls swoon over him. It makes me happy that he acts the way he does. He's really nice and caring when you get to know him, but on the outiside he seems tough and sort of player-like.He's not like those jocks though, even though he's good looking enough to be one. I'm lucky to say he's a close friend of mine.

"Hey Luhan, are you ready for class?" Kai asks me with that heart melting smile of his. If girls were in here, they'd be screaming. I laugh and roll my eyes. "Not really. I've been distracted all day, so i doubt I'll be up for pe.." I shrug and open my locker, pulling out my gym clothes as kai does the same beside me.

"Distracted huh? I wonder why." He teases with a smirk and makes a kissy face. As I change my shirt, i blush a light pink at his words and puff my cheeks out. "Oh shut up, Jongin..." I mutter, embarrassed and laugh along with him. He rolls his eyes and gets changed into his clothes. "No way.~" He says playfully, and stretches his arms.

Suddenly, my attention is drawn to the jocks when I hear Iris' name. I look over at them, tuning in to their conversation.

"Yeah, that new girl is totally hot! And i already got her number. Getting her to date me will be soooo easy." The biggest and manliest looking of the jocks says, smirking. I don't even know his name, but I know he's popular. I'm just gonna call him Buff.

My eyebrows furrow angrily and i glare at him. He's such a player! Apparently hearing this made my face turn red again, because Kai's hand grips my shoulder and he looks at me sympathetically. I sigh and slam my locker shut, my knuckles white from gripping it too tightly.

"Take it easy, Luhan." Kai says, running his fingers through his black hair. "You're not acting like yourself." As he finishes changing, he closes his locker and begins to walk out of the large locker room, urging me to follow him. "Mianhe.." I sigh, and follow him out, embarassed by my own actions. "I just don't like the way he treats girls. She seems too good for him.." I mutter, waving our friend Kris over as i see him putting his shirt on from the other side of the locker room. He notices me, pulls his shirt down quickly, then jogs to catch up with us.

"You haven't even talked to her, how could you know what she's like? But no matter how she is, you're right. He does treat girls badly." Kai said then does that guy-hand-grab-to-shoulder-bump-handshake thing to Kris as he catches up to us. I shrug and smile, looking at the ground. "I don't know, she just seems different, you know?" I sigh happily, thinking of her.

Kris laughs at me and throws his arm around my shoulder, giving me a playful sideways hug. "Are we talking about Luhan's little crush again?~" He teases, leaning down to be my height. Angrily i stand on my tip toes to feign being taller than him, but i never actually will. Kris Wu Yifan is a six foot two giant of a teen. Girls like him because he's "cold and mysterious" but that is not the case. He may have the stylish messy blonde hair and cold brown eyes, and wear things like tight black pants and leather jackets, but he's actually a big idiot, who thinks hes the next pablo picasso. But hey, he's a close friend of mine, and i love him and all his idioticness.

"Oh shut up Kris.." I sigh and laugh, softly punching his shoulder as we arrive in the gym. As we enter, i notice all the basketballs on racks skewn across the room. "Basketball season already?" I grumble irritatedly. I'm just waiting for soccer season to come aroud, but sadly its not until spring. At the other end of the gym, dribbling a basketball idly is the ever so fabulous Huang Zi Tao. He's not technically in this class, he's in athletics, which is for the actually athletic people. Haha no thanks. I'll just stay in p.e. until soccer tryouts. Anyway, Tao is a pe aid so he just kinda supervises and helps the coaches out.

"Tao!" Kris yells, 'running' over to him. It's more of a prance. Did i mention that Kris is not athletic. Because he is most definitely not. Kai looks at me and i laugh along with him, then we run over and join them by the basketballs.

"What are we doing today?" Kris asks, giving one of his signature 'kris does not approve looks' at the basketballs. "Basketball, duhhhh." Tao says, matter-of-factly to Kris and laughs. "It's king of the court. Four on four. I hope you guys like scrimmages." He says and flicks some of his newly dyed blonde hair out of his eyes. Tao always looks tired,  and has dark circles under his eyes. He reminds us all of a panda. Tao picks up a basketball, and passes it to me. I catch it before it hits my chest and puff out my cheeks. "Thanks." I really dont wanna play. He passes one to Kai, who catches it easily, and begins dribbling.

"Do i have toooooo?" Kris whines, childishly throwing a small temper tantrum.

"Hmmmm... Yes." Tao then tosses a ball to Kris, who isn'y paying attention, and the ball hits him in the head, then bounces away. Kris retaliates and falls to the floor.

Kai and I burst into controllable laughter, while Tao screams and immediatly apologizes to his best friend.

Kris looks up from his spot on the ground and screams.

"BASKETBALL IS NOT MY STYLE."

------------------------------------------------------

After gym is finally over, I walk back to the locker room with Kai, and the still complaining Kris.

"It still hurts!" Kris whines more at us, and we just laugh.

"Whatever, mr. style." Kai rolls his eyes and quickly changes back into his clothes. Kris sticks his tongue out and goes to his locker.

I turn the combination on my locker and pull, but it doesn't budge. "Huh?" I raise an eyebrow, and pull more. Nothing. "Kai, i cant get my locker open.."  I say and pull more. Something must have gotten stuck. "Let me try.." Kris says and pulls at my locker too. "Wow it's really stuck..." He mutters and bites his bottom lip, indicating he's trying hard, and pulls harder. i see it move slightly.

Me and kai spend a few more minutes trying until we finally force it open. By now, we're the only two in the locker room. "Finally!" Kai yells, holding his backpack over his shoulder. "Now hurry up." He commands me to change faster and i just roll my eyes as i chnge my shirt. "Don't  be so bossy, Jongin." I get my original clothes back on, then we both exit the locker room.

As we're leaving, Kai looks down at me and points at my feet. "There's something on your shoe." He exclaims. "Huh?" I look down at my converse and see a little paper is stuck to it. I pull it off and look at it. When i see what it is, my brown eyes widen. It's a little paper that says Iris' number, and a phone number! "What is it?" Kai asks, peeking over my shoulder. "It's Iris 'phone number... It must have fallen out of that guys locker.." I mumble, amazed that this has fallen into my hands.

"Seems like fate to me." Kai says and winks.
