March 15th, 11:51 p.m.

"Class dismissed. You may head out for lunch now, don't forget to complete your assignment and hand it in by next week. No exceptions."

Students bustled out of the classroom after the bell rang, marking the end of 7th period. Suddenly, the whole school was alive as everybody burst into the hallways.

 Some were chatting with their friends while preparing essential books for the last periods after lunch. The others would sprint past the mob of people towards the cafeteria where a delicious aroma is hinted. Today's cafeteria special was lasagna therefore most students often rush to get their own before it ran out. 

I, on the other hand, brought my own packed food. After Namjoon taught me how to prepare a proper sandwich - without destroying it -, I was tempted to try it out myself. I dug out the lunch box from my backpack and followed the other students out of the classroom. 

After the incident that occurred last year, I stopped going to the cafeteria. The utmost reason was that I couldn't bear to be around many people anymore. They often would stare and whisper about me when I did. I could stand it no longer.

So I found a peaceful spot located towards the furthermost right part of the school. It was a beautiful garden that once belonged to the previous principal in the school and in which caretakers come every once in a while to maintain its beauty. Not many students knew of this place, at least that was what I thought.

I trod lightly upon the grass, making my way towards the garden. I had my earphones on and was listening to VIXX LR- Beautiful Liar. Humming the lyrics of the song, I turned left at the corner past the brick wall-

To see something vicious that I shouldn't have.

The sight made me pause for a moment, as if everything around me was moving on and I was paralyzed in the flow of time. Gasping, I took a few steps backwards and quickly ducked behind the wall. I hastily removed the earphones and stuffed them into the pocket of my jeans.

At the same moment, I placed my lunch box down onto the dirt quietly. My breath hitched as I took a cautious peek out from the wall, trying not to make any sound that might reveal my presence. I clutched my chest as I became aware of how resonant my heartbeat was.

Badump. Badump.

I heard laughing. I heard muffled crying. I heard the harsh impact of a strike, causing the sobs to increase louder in volume. Most importantly, I was seeing a scene of violence laid out before my eyes.

Four students. Two who were watching. The third who was tormenting.

And the fourth who took it all in.
