Chapter 13

I wake up to the sound of thunder. I don't like it when it rains. To make it even worse I had to go to school. I groan and roll out of bed and did my usual routine. Jimin and I head to school early.

"Do you want to come see the rest of the group?"
Jimin asks.

"Not really. I'm not ready to see them yet."
He nods and walks toward them as they stare at me. I nervously wave at them as Jimin tells them something. They all frown but I quickly walk away. My vision suddenly goes dark.

"Guess who~"

"S.coups"

"Ahh how'd you know?"
He playfully pushes me.

"Cause I don't have any other friends beside you and Jennie."
He grins. The bell rings and we head to class.

Time skips to lunch time.
I wait for S.coups at our usual spot. It been about ten minutes already.
He usually doesn't take this long to get here.
I quickly finish my food and go to look for him. Then I hear someone groan.

"Stay away from Mae!"
I quickly walk toward the voices and Taehyung holding S.coups by his collar and S.coups in on the floor.

"What the hell are you doing?!"
Taehyung looks up and drops him on the ground. I run toward him, but Taehyung pulls me back by my hand.

"You need to stay away from him! He's crazy!"

"What right do you have to tell me what to do?!"
I try not to raise my voice so he can hear.

"Just listen to me! He was threaten me!"

"He probably was just trying to protect me from being hurt by you. Why do you care anyway? You're not my friend because you stopped pretending."
He stays silent. He clenches his jaw and pulls his hair out of frustration.

"Look you have to listen to me! He's a psychopath!"

"Why should I listen to you?"

"B-because I like y-you!"

"You're pathetic. Why would you leave me then if you liked me? Tsk making up ridiculous excuses because you don't like S.coups. I can't believe you."
I put S.coups's arm around my shoulder and put my arm around his waist to support him.

"M-Mae-"

"I don't want to hear it."
I stare into his eyes.
"You've changed."
My voice cracks. I walk S.coups to the nurses office. Well more of an extra room with first aid kits and beds. I grab a first aid kit and start cleaning the cuts in his face. He winces.

"Sorry."
I try doing it lightly so it doesn't hurt. He pouts.

"What's with the face?"

"The boys is suppose to save the girl, but you saved me."
I giggle.
"Thanks for saving me anyways."

"You're welcome."
I give him an ice pack for his bruises. I catch him staring at me and giggle. I was about to leave and let him rest but he grabs my wrist.

"Mae I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I like you."
