{Year 10}

 - 12:35 pm - 

"The bell does not dismiss you. I do!" Ms. Stone cries futilely from the front of our classroom, her spectacles quivering on the end of her hooked nose. 

My classmates ignore her cries and continue to pack away their maths textbooks, chattering away like hormone filled canaries. I feel a little guilty when I do the same but I am going to have to move fast if I want to get to my new class in time. The music classrooms are separated from the rest of the classrooms, and my maths classroom is on the top floor. So I really have to get a move on. I scoop up my books and pencil case and empty them into my backpack before hurrying along behind my classmates out into the hallway. My phone vibrates in my skirt pocket, and I pull it out to find a text from Emma. 

Will Elena and Damon ever get together? 

The tension between those two is KILLING me.

Emma stayed at home today with a severe case of the sniffles. She rang me last night with a nose so congested that all her words sounded like 'blergh.' So I brought my box-set of the Vampire Diaries around for her to watch, and she has been binge watching them all day, giving me hourly updates on her position in the show. 

Have patience young grasshopper ;)

You are killing me!

Mama needs some action in here!

I stifle my laughter with my hand, and begin to type out a reply when my head collides with something hard. With a soft gasp I stumbles backwards before two hands enclose around my biceps, keeping me from falling on my butt. 

"Sorry!" I cry, my eyes flying up to meet my saviour. 

"Hey there little lady," Jungkook wiggles his eyebrows, slinging his arm over my shoulders and begins to lead me down the hallway. 

"Hi Kook." I smile, disentangling myself from his hold. 

"Are we still on for tonights study session?" He asks, his hand encircling my waist and tugging me to his side so I sent run into the row of water fountains. 

"Of course, mum is planning on cooking your favourite for dinner." 

"Pizza?" His eyes shine with happiness, and the slow grin taking over his face is contagious so I nod with a massive smile on my own. 

Last year Jungkook and I were paired together for a science project, and through that project we found that we actually work really well together. Every since then we have met once a week on a Tuesday night to study together. He stays for dinner afterwards which is nice since it is only my mum and I at home. He brings a wonderful energy to the house that was missing, and my mum absolutely adores him. 

"God I love your mum," He laughs, "what are we studying this week?"

"Well we have that maths test next week, so I thought that we would concentrate on that, yeah?" 

"Sounds good!" 

His phone chimes and he reaches into his blazer pocket to take out his mobile phone. He reads the message before typing up a quick reply. I take his arm as we near the stairs and help him down so that he doesn't fall flat on his face. Once at the bottom of the stairs he gives me an apologetic smile and I roll my eyes. 

"Its Lara, isn't it?"

"Yeah, she wants to meet me in the maths classroom. I left something." He winks, and I gag jokingly.

"Well make it quick, you don't want to miss music Kook." 

He gives me a cheeky grin before spinning on his heel and running back up the stairs. I shake my head before continuing on my way down the hallway. Lara finally got Jungkooks attention at the beginning of the year when she asked him out to the movies. She seems to think that they are an item while he is totally oblivious to her adoration of him. He is so thick sometimes. With a little laugh to myself I square my shoulders and continue down the hall. 

Without Jungkook to guide and protect me from the crowds of students all trying to get to their next class I am jostled around like a row-boat at sea. Elbows jab into my sides, and feet tread on my own and I can barely see over the top of other students heads. I spot the large doors leading out of the main building to the smaller classrooms out the back. Once outside the doors I give a great sigh of relief. The air outside is crisp and has a little bite to it, and I find myself wishing for the blazer that I had left on my desk chair this morning. Mum had warned me that it was going to be cold today but I was too flustered, as I usually am during the morning rush, to take any notice. 

SPLAT

Something heavy hits the crown of my head, almost knocking me over with its weight. Cold liquid runs from the top of my head, down my face and neck completely drenching me. If I was feeling a little chilled before I am absolutely freezing now. I hold my hands over my head protectively and look up at the sky above. Jungkook is hanging out of one of the second storeys windows with a fat pink water balloon balancing in one hand. He has a massive shit-eating grin on his face as he tosses the balloon up and down with one hand. 

"DONT. YOU. DARE. JUNGKOOK!" I cry just as the second water balloon leaves his fingers. 

I try to move out of the way but I am too slow. Water explodes on my chest, and it feels like I have been shot. All the air leaves my lungs in a soft whoosh and my hands fly to my chest, clutching the wet material and the cold water leaves me gasping for air. The laughter of other students echoes around me as they form a ring surrounding me, jeering like hyenas. 

"Nice bra Audrey!" One of the guys from my class jeers, eyes focused on the wet fabric of my white button up. 

My cheeks flush with mortification as I clutch my hands over my chest trying to hide the lacy bra I know that is now on full display for my school to see. Other guys in the crowd around me begin to shout suggestive things in my direction, and it is so disgusting, so awful, that I feel angry tears building up in the corners of my eyes. I shove my way through the cluster of students surrounding me, fighting my tears as I go. I cannot bring myself to spare a look behind me at Jungkook. His prank went awfully wrong and now I am standing outside my classroom with my classmates staring at me in a wet t-shirt shivering my bits off. 

Bugger.
