The cafeteria was already packed when I got there. Seems everyone was in a rush to get to the line before it got longer.

But I was only focused on finding Ariah.

Yoongi waved me over to our usual table. I made my way there, sending a casual wave to all the giggling girls.

"Aahhhh quit doing that. You're giving them false hope." He scolded me when I got there.

I wrinkled my nose. "It's just a wave. They were saying hi and I was being polite. It's called courtesy. Not my fault if they misinterpret it."

He laughed. "Someones a little grumpy, but point taken."

I sighed, taking a seat across from him. "Sorry, I'm just irritated. Can't seem to find this girl anywhere. It's like she's purposely hiding from me."

A tilt of his head. "Huh. Funny. I'm looking for someone too. A girl I just bumped into not long ago." There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Gotta say, she had balls to be treating me that way. Makes her the first."

My brain snapped. "She had balls? Like straight up savage mode?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Ummm, yea. She shoved me against a locker when I dropped her books and picked on her."

His bio was adding up to an all too familiar person. "Short? Long thick curls? Curvy in all the right places?"

He sniffed derisively. "No. She was average height. Long straight braid down her side. And she was curvy but fit. More towards the fit side."

I sighed in defeat. "Damn it. That's not her. But I DO have something to tell everyone, and I'm not sure how you guys will take it."

"Tell us what?" Nam Joon walked from behind me, sliding his tall figure in the bench.

"And not sure if we can take what?" Hobi sat down next to me, followed by Jin hyung and a yawning V.

I looked around, surprised. "Why are you all coming at the same time? I'm pretty sure all your classes are miles apart."

Nam Join snapped his fingers mere inches from my face. "Focus Chimmy. What were you trying to tell us?"

I shook my head. "Oh. Right. She's real guys. And I mean, real as in I can touch her type of real."

They stared at me, clearly confused.

I rolled my eyes. "Argh! Ariah. Ariah is real. And she's here!"

This time they exchanged looks with each other. Before bursting into laughter.

Every ugly laugh came out. Jin hyungs was the worst.

"Did you hit your head somewhere Chimmy?" Nam Joon laughed, clearly outta breath.

"Yeah, I wanna know so I can hit mine before math class starts." V belted, clenching his stomach from the pain of laughing so much.

I drooped my eyes. "You don't need to hit it to fail, you do that well on your own."

The laughter rose higher. I looked around, hoping we weren't causing a scene.
