Johnny

I slowly walk inside my room, sighing about the mess I left. All my dirty laundry scattered across the floor, my bed isn't even made. I just want to kill myself, I'm too darn tired about life. My parents are going to be coming back from work in any second. Oooh, I'm pretty sure that they are going to yell at me for not being their perfect clean and smart child. I just can't move my feet hurt from walking the whole day, I don't feel like doing anything today. I fall over my bed and close my eyes, just to calm down. But I feel them shaking, my body suddenly paralyzes, and my system shuts down. Yep, I definitely went to sleep.

       As I stand up to get something to eat, I realize that I actually slept for about 14 hours. It is already 7 am and I went to sleep at 5 pm! I'm insane, I hope my parents just completely ignore me like they usually do. I hurriedly get inside the shower remembering that I will meet him again. He always makes me feel happy, just his presence is enough for me to have all the confidence in the world. I need to do something important today. I need to entertain him so that he never leaves my side. Without him I would go back to being the depressing bookworm of the class. I need someone like Taeyong in my life. I step out of the shower drying myself, changing into my worn out shirt and jeans, packing all my stuff and leaving my parent's house. I've been thinking of moving out lately. My parents need to take a break from me, maybe I should find a place to live. Ugh! But I need a job first, and the guy from the Japanese restaurant hasn't called me! I really need to do something. Well....right now I need to focus in school or else I would be the disappointment of my family. No! I can't risk being a failure, I have to get us out of the situation we are in!

       I slowly step inside my first class finding out that everyone took different seats. I wonder what this is all about. I stared at the huge white board in front of the class which clearly stated our partners for our new art project. AN ART PROJECT! I love art, but I just wanted to relax for the weekend....I suppose that no one can! This is the only class I shared with Taeyong and I read that list carefully. Hopefully I have been paired up with him. But........NO! I am not paired up with Taeyong. My partner is Ten. Him the one whom I hoped I could be friends with a few days ago. I have a chance now. This is good but bad at the same time. Yes, I want to be friends with him but I feel horrible for not being Taeyong's partner. As I walk towards some empty seats I stare at the long list in front of me again. Then I read the name of the person partnered with Taeyong. His name is Doyoung and he is pretty friendly from what I've seen. I hope Doyoung treats Taeyong nicely or else......I would never forgive him for such actions. I sat at the desk near the back of the class, Taeyong turns his head towards me. His eyes showed me his disappointment too and I desparatly want to run up to him. I really felt the need to hold him next to me and talk to him. It will be okay, that will have to wait until lunch. He already knew to meet me there from just staring into each others eyes. He smiled at me, this smile looked fake.

       Instead of showing him my frustration I smiled back. The door opened all our eyes went to the person entering. Ten came walking into the classroom. He smirked at the board and sat rather quickly next to me. "Heeyyy partner, are you eady for the project?" He asked me, wiggling his eyebrows, waiting for my response.
         A smile slipped from my lips, maybe he isn't that bad. "Of course I am, I am the class nerd" I chucked and his gaze at me softened. Class began, we started planning for our projects. His face and tone turned serious as we begun talking about the things we needed for our project. We could actually choose any form of art we wanted, from dance to drawing. I deeply wanted to choose dancing. But instead I wanted Ten to think about it first. "I am the leader of the Dance Club  in our school, you know that right?" I shook my head. Never have I noticed that his well toned muscles could have been because of the intense training he practiced each week. I stared at him in awe and he blushed under my heavy gaze. His ears turning blood red and his cheeks a cherry color. He looked cute. Both of us decided to work on the project over the weekend. We would meet at the park early, on tomorrow morning. I can feel the excitement pounding through my veins we are going to work on a traditional dance but we have to look for one.
      
       Class came to an end and we left. I scheduled the time this project was due, it will be accepted on time up until September 25, I know that we will work hard to finish it by then. The twenty fifth was a Monday and I'm pretty sure Ten will waste no time in teaching me. He is the leader of the university's Dance Club!!! I'm so ready for this project.

Taeyong pov
I sat next to my partner Doyoung in the beginning of the class he smiled at me and grabbed a chair for me to sit next to him. He told me about his love for drawing, especially drawing bunnies. We were going to make an art piece that will will contain many types of animals. I offered the idea to connect them by drawing a natural habitat view about the food chain. He totally agreed and we started sketching our drawings perfecting them as time went by. Right now though I am staring at Johnny, he is laughing with his partner, the leader of the club I'm in. Both of them seem happy near each other and I can feel a pang of jealousy hit my heart. It can't be possible for me to feel anger over Johnny interacting with new people. I should be supportive to know how difficult it is for him to socialize. But for some reason I love the fact that it is just me and him together. Knowing that Ten can win Johnny's makes me feel hurt and useless. But I'm not going to leave Johnny. He is the best person I've ever met in my life. Someone pinched me on my left arm, I turned back to realize that I've been zoning out during class. I need to hurry and finish my sketches before class ends. "Taeyong can I go to your house to finish the project I will buy the supplies and bring them to your house. Why don't we start it tomorrow?" I smiled at him, at least he wanted to finish the project. I turned back to the spot Johnny and Ten were sitting but they were already gone. "Okay, at my house I'll be waiting" I replied, panicking a little when I saw the time. I have to go to my other major class.
