"Well... I just really miss my family, I really want to see them, and my friends. We've said that we would chat to each other, but I just haven't found the time to ring them, because there's also that big time difference of three hours, so when I finally get free time, they're sleeping, and we used to go out every weekend, so I really miss them." I explained, forcing out a few more tears, as it wasn't true. I text my friends every night, sometimes even video call them when everyone is sleeping, I just wanted to make a believable excuse for my misery, which if I told the truth about, I wouldn't be able to go a day without them arguing, or so I assume. I am very against the idea of lying between couples, but for the sake of his and Luhan's friendship, I am willing to do so.
A gentle pressure squeezed my arms reassuringly as I tightened my grip on his hand in front of me.
"It's alright, one day, you'll find the time to speak to them, for as long as you want, okay?"
"Okay," I sniffled, it seems as if he was buying it, I am so glad that he was doing so.
An alarming sound of a bell rang ferociously after some time. We had spent the rest of the time just walking around near the back of the school field, his hand holding my shoulder towards him; I had my arm around his waist, holding onto his uniform, mainly from support, because this position, similar to the movies, was rather uncomfortable for me, but because he is so tall, probably easy for him, so I just let it be. We quickly rushed back inside and I headed to my next lesson.
(A/N: Pretend that the lesson is over because I cba describing it, and it has no use to the story. Thanks)
Luhan POV.
Class had finished, finally. I had music, but because I'm pretty good at it, it has just become boring to me. I had told Xiumin that I was going to stay here for a little while longer for a paper I have to revise for, he looked confused at first, but I explained to him that it wasn't possible to study at home for more than ten minutes, he seemed to understand, as he started to walk off, as I parted in the opposite direction towards the library.
I was planning on staying only a hour, two maximum, because it gets dark earlier now, cos it is nearing winter. Upon reaching the library, I took my books out and git down some revision guides from top shelves. I had found that the best revision guides were usually at the top, along the way, I saw a book called 'Fascinating Cubes' with a picture of a rubix cube on the front. I decided to get that down too, maybe a little peek after my work, or I might take it home.
I sat down at the closest table, so I could put the books away quickly when I had finished, and started some serious revising.

I was spotted talking to someone in lesson, and here in China, I found a little disruption meant detention, and I was talking for a while, so I was to serve a forty five minute detention, then have to clean the art room for two days. Don't see why I can't clean in my detention, kinda stupid I'd you ask me. As usual, I had no choice other than to comprehend with the rules, so I sat quietly in the room, alone. The only sound audible was the scratching of my pen onto paper as I completed some homework, and the bell, insulting me by ticking so slow to the point of wanting to get up and silence it forever. However, that was the only thing which was timing me, so I resisted the urge. I would have been on my phone. but I have no credit and its being held by the teacher anyway, so that doesn't help. I feel so bored! like really bored.
I couldn't take it anymore, I put my things away into my bag and tilted my head back, hoping to get half an hour of sleep fit the remaining punishment.
After an hour and a half...
I swear that I sweat more than a pig in the middle of August! That was some intense cleaning right there, I don't think I ever did that much at home, seeing as my older sister had to do it, I feel sorry for her now, realising how much effort has to be put into ten minutes of hardcore cleaning! As I gathered my things after spraying myself with a little body spray, and I mean a little... okay, maybe a lot! Just enough to get rid of the stench seeing as it was too late to have a shower now.
It was pretty dark out, the sun was just hiding itself away, ready to brighten up another part of the world, leaving us in the presence of the moon and stars, with a tiny string of horizon slowly seeping into the darkness. I took my bag over my shoulders and started to head home.
The bus stop was finally in front of me, but there were np more buses scheduled to come tonight, there wasn't another stop for about twenty minutes. And I didn't want to go there to find that there wasn't going to be anything there too, so I just headed straight home. There were a few back alleys which I knew of, which would take me home quicker, and possibly get less wet.
So, I took the next turn left into an off road route after Mich consideration, to ne faced with multiple groups of people smoking, looking homeless with bottles of alcohol scattered near them, they may have even stolen them! I sighed, repositioned my bag so that the zip was closest to me, and I started to take some steps, walking briskly to avoid any conversations with those around me. Overhead, there was a greenhouse roof which was too dirty, as it is isialla transparent, but I was thankful as it stopped the rain from ruining my face and clothes further, even though it was a little late for that now. I took a few more turns, and as I did so, there were less people about, and this made me a little freaked out. Before when I was surrounded by them, it wasn't a very safe thing for a girl, but now there seems to be no one who would be able to hear me if I was to call along assistance for anything.
A couple more minutes had passed, there was an alley to my right which led onto the main road, and across from that was another alleyway which was my next destination.
At the other side..
I could hear manical laughing, this reflex caused me to look around, allowing me to be cautious of my surroundings... but nothing.
I continued to walk on, but after a few steps, I heard footsteps and manical laughing, I jolted back, but still nothing, so I turned around once again, standing there.
"Just come out whoever you are!" I was tired from today's events, and the night earlier I didn't have the best sleep.
"If you say so." A whisper from right behind me sounded, and that was Hella freaky, I could feel the persons body heat, and this person was taller than me, I could feel it by the way he rose. I turned around to see a fist coming my way, luckily I was able to duck and bring my own arm around to his right jaw, making some powerful contact, which coincidentally hurt my own hand.
"Ohhh, so you want to play badly? I can do that!" He shouted after rubbing his jaw where there was contact. Before I could respond in any way possible, my wrists were pulled and I was smacked into the wall behind me, grazing my hand. As everyone would, I was desperately shifting to try to escape his grip, with the hope that it may work, buy this wasn't a movie, I had no luck.
In this position, I was able to see his features, he had a headfull of caramel blonde hair, with a side parting and dark streaks going throughout, his lips plump and rosy, cheeks were smooth with a scar on his right side, and bad stitching on it. He was wearing a black tshirt with a grey waistcoat, and as he was holding me up, his muscles were flexed. The pants were some stonewashed black skinny jeans. I wouldn't have percieved him as a bad guy if I had seen him on a normal day. As I looked into his hazel eyes, I noticed him inspecting my body too, and I suddenly felt self conscious, I too looked down and saw that my shirt, under my open blazer, was soaked and had gone translucent showing my bra. When I looked back at his face our eyes met and there was a satisfied smirk on his face, which was scary.
"You're looking pretty hot you know, and you're hair being wet is really sexy."  Did he not know his words weren't flattering in any way at all. His arms dragged mine higher so it was harder to move, and I could feel the scraping causing my arm to sting. The next thing I know, he had forced himself onto me, but I was biting my lip, so as not to give way, but he used his knee to hit me in the stomach, causing me scream, and giving him access to my mouth, the kiss was rough, and it was really irritating me how I couldn't do anything to help musket, apart from... I got the courage in my right leg and lifted it with speed, hitting him in his 'specilas', and this made him stop, thankfully. He took his arms away too as he held the spot, giving me a perfect opportunity to run, and I attempted just that. My arm was gripped, holding me back, and before I could do anything, I was thrown to the floor, giving me the worst back pain imaginable, it literally felt as if my spine had cracked. He came to sit on my stomach and once again put my arms in line with my head, this time against the floor.
"So, you think you can beat me? You are a pretty brave girl to be fighting with someone who is evidently stronger than you, don't you think?" He questioned, and I responded by struggling some more for a lease with sadly no luck.
"What are you doing?" A voice cane from my right, my head jolted in the direction of the voice and I was surprised to see Jia Yu. " I told you to make her sorry, not sit on top of her and simply speak to her."
Now turning towards me, she smirked widely, " Didn't I tell you? Revenge is viewer highly in my family, and I just had to get revenge on you for coming out of nowhere to steal the boys. I feel sorry for you, knowing that no one will come to save you and that you may die!"
This was enough to scare the living daylights out of me, I could die? For meeting 6 guys, I was going to be killed? That doesn't make sense.
I looked up at the guy once more before my head came in contact with a large object, after looking around, I saw Jia Yu moving backwards, after she had kicked me with her heels on.
Why were there three copies of the guy who is holding me down, and what's with the five fists coming my way? And then it hit me, hard! A punch straight to my cheek, just below my temple, the impact was still there however, were they trying to really kill me?
After, he picked me up and held me by my neck and forcefully pushed me against the wall, nearly strangling me. I started to cough, but was soon shut up by a sudden pain in my stomach, as I looked down, I saw that he was continuously kneeing me in my stomach, adding more pain to the amount I felt already.
A punch to my eye killed, and I got four of these from Jia Yu, and she was strong, and I couldn't do anything back because I could hardly breathe. Once again, I was thrown to the floor, this time with much more impact as my bones came into contact with the concrete. They were both standing on either side of me and they started kicking my whole body, and I was now too weak to do anything. I just lay quietly, accepting the beats I got from them both.

My eyes started to close, I was now tired, so I just tried to go to sleep with all the pain in my body.
"Get off her!" I heard a voice, seemed familiar, but I couldn't be sure, I may have even imagined it, but the kicking stopped.
Jia Yu retreated into the shadows, to avoid being seen probably, and the guy held me by grabbing my hair, and held me in front of him, as an offering of some sort, I couldn't see this other person, because of my tears, and I wasn't going to wipe them because I was trying to hold my hair onto my head. The other person grabbed me up and put me to the side, and then I heard a punch, and another, the original person was running away, and the person who had saved me was holding his cheek, before suddenly turning to me.
