Innocent Criminal [Stray Kids Fanfiction]

Chapter 3 ~ Who Are You?

The morning came by quickly and Beomji was still on her bed, with messy hair. Some strands were in her mouth. Scratching her head and rubbing her eyes roughly, she sluggishly got off her bed. Her face was bloated and her eyes could barely open properly. She was worrying too much and crying a lot yesterday. All because of him.  She knew she was in deep trouble if he told her off. 

After her routine, she went off walking to board the bus. Although the sun was shining so bright onto her face, her mind was clouded with grey. Regretting pulling the innocent boy into her situation. When she got into the bus, she kept her head hung low. She sat next to a boy who was obviously talking very loudly to his standing friend in front of him.

"Hi"

The same voices were appearing in her head until she realised that the two boys were actually talking to her.

"Sorry, hi," she said softly.

The two boys were confused because the girl they knew was always cheerful and talkative. She was rather too silent today.

"What's wrong?" The boy next to her came closer to her face to see.

She got startled and moved away quickly.

"Feli-

"Oh man guys can you believe it? Today is class promotion day!" Chan shouted as if he really wanted the attention from everyone.

Chan was really flustered. Facing his shoes and alighted because he was lucky that they already reached school. Beomji could not help but smile slightly, making Felix smile too. The three adolescents walked to the compound, into their school.

Felix and Chan, they are Beomji's only friends when she was overseas in Austrailia. She studied there and met Chan during elementary school. They both happened to be in the same middle school and therefore met the other boy, Felix.

Inside the vast building, Chan quickly rushed into the crows that looking at the large chart posted on the wall. 

"As expected, my Beomji is still in the same class. The smartest class of all," Felix gave her a sheepy smile.

"My? You mean our, right?" Chan protested.

Before the boys prepared to battle in a war, Beomji noticed something.

"Oh? There are some new students in my class. Good thing they're not you guys."

Her smile went really wide and the boys were questioning her statement. Beomji just waved at them and went off to class. The classroom was filled with students making a mess. She was glad to see her favorite seat at the back of the class unoccupied. She proceeded to sit there, waiting for class to start.

Class promotion day. It happens every year in Beomji's school. After the mid-year examinations, the students' grades will determine the classes that they would be transferring to. Those who worked hard got to be in the smartest class. Those who started to become lazy would transfer to the worst class. Beomji found the school's system really harsh but she was just glad that was in the smartest class.

As time passed by, she saw more and more unfamiliar faces. The teacher then came in and everyone greeted, excited to start the day. They were all asked to introduce themselves. When Beomji started, everyone gave her their full attention. Not because she's pretty or what, but particularly because of the bruises she had.

One boy, however, couldn't stop staring at her. He was confused as he felt that he saw her before. Maybe a few days ago. He tried so hard to remember, but he just could not recall. He was very nervous for his turn. It was his first time in the class. The smartest class.

The dude seating in his front view finished introducing himself. The boy slowly stood up, looking around the class. People were whispering, making weird faces and pointing at him. The boy could hear some people saying that he was scary or that they never saw him in the school before.

His pupils kept wavering. He felt like an outcast. He swallowed his saliva while his tongue licked his lips that got dry. His eyes eventually landed on her, the girl with bruises. She was the only one that just looked at him, which made him feel comfortable. With a warm smile,

"Hi. I-I'm Han Jisung. It was really nice meeting you all."
