"I may fall down and get hurt but I still run endlessly towards my dreams."

Since the day that me and Jungkook confessed to each other, he's been a constant flirt. I didn't even know he had a flirtatious side, along with a dirty one which he surprised me with at times. He started picking me up most days after school, causing most of the students to know about us now, which didn't really bother me since they minded their business most of the time. When I told both my mom and Amy about his feelings towards me, they both couldn't believe it, although my mom was a bit more on the cheerful side. Spending more and more time with Jungkook really opened up a new part of my life. A part that I started to enjoy.......maybe a little too much.

"Y/N, is everything okay with you? Your test scores are dropping slightly which is very unusual, seeing that you're one of the top students in my class. It's nothing too serious but I just wanted to check up on you before it gets any worse." My physics teacher spoke to me as he held my most recent test in his hand, examining the piece of paper.

"Yes Mr. Mike, everything is fine. Perhaps I'm just not reviewing the material enough. I'll just spend more time studying the content."

"Alright, if you need any extra help, you know I'm available after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'll be more than happy to help."

"Thank you sir. I'll keep that in mind." I bowed slightly to him and took my test before heading out of the classroom.

I walked through the halls which were now filled with students roaming the area, all pushing to exit the building, since school had just ended. I wandered over to my locker and unlocked it to place my test inside along with my physics binder.

"Hey, Y/N."

I know that voice.

I closed my locker and behind it stood none other than Mina. Why was she here?

"Mina, hey." I said hesitantly.

"You okay? You look like you just saw a ghost or something."

"Oh, no, I'm okay. You just kind of caught me by surprise. Did you need something?"

"Sorry, I have that kind of effect." She shrugged and giggled. "Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to come to my party slash fundraiser this Saturday? If you come, it's a 5 dollar fee and that money will be donated to a homeless charity. It's for my take action project for the social issues class I take. Truthfully, I don't want to fund raise on the streets, holding a little can while I plead out for people to donate because let's be real, I won't get anywhere doing that. So instead, I'm hosting a party, that way I can earn money AND have fun at the same time." She said as her voice got particularly higher while saying 'and'. She then leaned in closer to me and cupped one hand around her mouth, speaking softly. "Not to mention, it'll count towards extra credit for any class of your choice."

I could use that extra credit for physics.

"It'll be at my house and you can invite your boyfriend too!"

"I'll see if he's available to come." Jungkook certainly wasn't my boyfriend but she didn't need to know that.

"Great! And even if you're not into parties like that, then you can just come to donate and then leave right after, there's no pressure to stay the whole time."
