Collateral Love | Tao

Chapter 13

Tao didn't show up at school the next day and his classroom was crazy, to say the least, even when Principle Kim came in, "Everyone settle down!"

"I bet he ate Mr. Huang," Baekhyun whispered to Jongin, "Fatass."

"I bet Mr. Huang got arrested," Chanyeol raised his index finder.

"You guys, he's probably just sick or something," Kyungsoo rolled his eyes.

"Kyungsoo, you don't have to be so boring, we're just joking," Jongin tilted his head.

"I wasn't joking," Chanyeol raised an eyebrow with his index finger.

"You guys are seriously annoying! Shut up!" Sehun shouted, I felt like he was defending me, in a way.

Principle Kim looked confused, but took the opportunity to speak anyways, "Mr. Huang is out sick today. He said that you all have projects you can be working on, so I expect you to do that."

"Are you just going to watch us the whole time?" Jongdae asked.

"I'd rather be in here, considering somebody released crickets in my office," He looked at me and Sehun.

"Are you saying it was us?"

"I wouldn't expect it from anyone else."

"Listen, jackass, don't go accusing us of something when you don't know the truth," I said.

"Ooh, roast him, CJ!" Baekhyun howled with laughter.

"I'm getting cameras installed in this entire school."

"Wow, genius. Only took you three years to realize that was a good idea."

He scoffed, "Well, whatever, I won't have to deal with any of your shenanigans for the rest of the school year."

"Fuck off, your locks haven't stopped us, nothing will."

"Solitary confinement, now."

I got up from my desk, I didn't really have a reason to be in class today.

Me: Hey, Vic. Want to ditch now?

Victoria: we're on the roof.

Luckily, I knew the secret way to the roof. Principle Kim was stupid for sending me to solitary confinement without an escort, then again, he didn't really care where I was as long as I wasn't bothering him.

"I hope your not scared of snakes."

"I'm not. Why do you say so?"

"Amber brought her pet snake, JackJack."

An idea formed in my head. JackJack wasn't that scary. He was just a corn snake, "Wanna pull a prank?"

"I love pranks," Luna smirked.

"I think the first years are in gym class right now. So, I say we let JackJack have a little fun in the locker room."

Amber smirked, liking the idea. While we were waiting to strike I checked my instagram. I saw Tao posted a selfie with some guy I didn't know.

"Spending the day with this guy
@ galaxy_fanfan"

"Dude, is that Mr. Huang's instagram?" Krystal looked like at my phone screen in awe.

"He blocked me when I tried to follow him," Sulli frowned.

The rest of the girls surrounded me, "Ooh, who's his hot friend?" Victoria asked, "Click on his profile."

I clicked on the @ galaxy_fanfan profile, it was kind of inactive, but he still seemed pretty cool.

"I bet he's Mr. Huang's secret boyfriend or something," Amber laughed.
