Language Barrier {Junhui & Minghao} [DISCONTINUED]

Lilo's POV

Tayten and I reached the school's front just in time to see a bus of uniform kids pull up. The filed out nicely and stood in front of us in a large blob. Tayten and I introduced ourselves and began walking them towards the campus main building. As we strayed a bit ahead (because their teacher was chewing someone out and we're awkward) Tayten yanked on my sleeve.

"Lilo that's her!" The little grey haired girl whisper yelled.

I swatted her off of me. "Who's who?"

Tayten was beaming as she said, "the girl with the pink bow and blue bow, she's the fan who gave me Mr. Hemingway!"

I raised my eyebrows, "Mr. Hemingway?"

"The white teddy." Tayten told me.

I nodded my head slowly. I turned around to get a good look at the girl. For a minute she turned around to talk to another girl and I could see her bow fully. I frowned, "you said she was Minghao and Joshua's fan?" I murmured hesitantly as I continued to study her. I didn't like the vibe I got from her.

Tayten shook her head, grey braids swinging as she did. "No she's our fan. Didn't even notice Joshua."

I frowned, squinting at the bow. "But that's their groups logo... on her bow." I pointed out.

Making her hands into binoculars Tayten honed in on the girls bow. "I thought the colors looked familiar." She stated. "Yeah it's definitely a Seventeen bow."

I turned her around quickly, "something about this doesn't seem right!" I murmured, practically tripping over my words because I was speaking so quickly.

Tayten pursed her lips. "She's so nice."

I grabbed Tayten holding her close to me with shaking hands. "I'm getting bad vibes from her. Think about it, why would she not acknowledge a member of a group she clearly loves, just to give you something, but not him. It doesn't make sense. You also said she was calm. That's not... that doesn't seem normal. Remember when we saw The Script, were we calm when they asked if we wanted a picture? No! Okay you started crying and I nearly passed out! Because that's what fans do! She isn't acting like a fan! There's something off about her!"

Tayten's eyes were wide as she carefully pried me off of her. "Lilo, you're panicking. Remember what your doctor said? About the panic attack's? Okay, calm down-" she began reciting the steps for me. As a psychology major she's always all over me when this stuff happens, but doesn't even pay attention to psychological things in any other instance. My mind was running. It was stumbling between fight or flight.

As we continued the tour I kept an eye on the girl who worried me so much. But my nerves didn't fully jump into hyperdrive until she walked up to Tayten and I.

"Hey there! Thanks for the gifts!" Tayten said as the girl came up excitedly, her bow now magically gone. S.K.E.T.C.H.Y!

She bowed very low, "thank you for excepting them it means so much to me!" She turned to me next. "I haven't gotten to meet you yet, but I'm a huge fan!" She chirped. Yet there was no twinkle in her eye, no bouncing to her step, not like when I'm with Jun or Tayten; people who actually love me.

"Where's your bow? I thought it was cute." I commented passive aggressively. Tayten grabbed my elbow quickly, a warning.

The girls face froze, but she quickly glossed it over with a snake- like grin. "Oh. That. Well I found it tacky and took it off." At the sound of that Tayten prickled up a bit.

"You do know we're friends with those guys right?" She asked passive aggressively.

The girl shrugged, "yeah."

Smiling I muttered, "well it's nice to see you again." Tayten and I continued leading our tour, trying to ignore the fans ominous presence.

Finally I turned to Tayten, murmuring, "Don't leave campus till you and I see her get on that bus and it drives away."
