Chapter 2

"Okay so in an argumentative essay, you have 3 ways to persuade the readers. You have Ethos, Pathos-," Guanlin was slowly falling asleep listening to Mrs. Hamren's boring, dull voice.

"Pst. Linlin," Baejin whispered to Guanlin.

"Wtf do you want," Guanlin turned around to Jinyoung.

"Are you coming to the party tonight?" Jinyoung softly whispered.

"Oh right! I totally forgot about the party," Seonho was having a new years party today at 11:pm, which Guanlin totally forgot about.

"Yea dumbass. So you coming or not," Jinyoung said.

"I don't know. Who's coming?" Guanlin asked.

"I'm not sure, but that guy that you were just gawking at can come to if he wants," Jinyoung said, pointing at Jihoon.

"Shut up, I was not gawking at him," Guanlin said rolling his eyes. "But I will go if he's going."

"Great," Jinyoung smiled. 

He began writing something on his English worksheet and folded it when he was done writing.  He folded it into a paper airplane and threw it across the room to Jihoon. Unfortunately, Jinyoung badly missed the shot and the airplane hit Mrs. Hamren in the back instead of landing on Jihoon's desk. 

Jinyoung let out a small gasp. Guanlin hit Jinyoung on the arm as hard as he could. 

"You fucking bitch," Guanlin hissed under his breath.

Jinyoung didn't even respond. He was too shocked to respond.

"So assuming from your shocked expression, I'm guessing you threw this paper airplane, Mr. Bae?" Mrs. Hamren asked Jinyoung.

"Mrs.Hamren I am so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you. I was trying to throw the paper airplane to Jihoon," Jinyoung said.

"To Mr. Park? May I ask you why?" Mrs. Hamren asked.

"Well, Guanlin said he'll go to Seonho's party if Jihoon goes. So I was going to invite him to Seonho's party- OUCH," Jinyoung was stopped by Guanlin, who pinched Jinyoung as hard as he could.

"Stop talking or I'll end you right here," Guanlin said under his breath.

Jinyoung nodded.

"What was that Mr. Lai Guanlin?" Mrs. Hamren asked.

"Uhhh nothing," he said.

"Well Mr. Bae, no matter what the reason is, you should never throw things in my classroom. Understood?" 

"Yes mam." Jinyoung said. 

"Okay then. Continuing from where we left off-," Mrs. Hamren continued talking again.

-------------------------------------------

About 20 minutes passed and soon the class was over. Mrs. Hamren dismissed everyone and Guanlin walked over to Jihoon's desk as soon as they were dismissed.

"Hey man I'm really sorry about what just happened," Guanlin said to Jihoon, who was packing his stuff. 

"It's fine," Jihoon said as he slid his notebook into his bag.

"Uhh... well um can you come to the party?" Guanlin asked shyly. 

"Are you going?" Jihoon asked.

"Well like Jinyoung said, I'm going if you're going," Guanlin said, blushing.

"Okay then I'm going," Jihoon said smiling.

"Sweet. It's at 11 pm at Seon Ho's house. See you there," Guanlin rushed out of the classroom.
