"Hey, guess what!" One of my best friends commented.
"I wanna tell her Chunji," the other interjected.
"Fine. You tell her than Henry," Chunji fired back.
"Tell me what?" I demanded.
"We're getting a new student. I heard he's gonna be in our class," Henry announced.
"A new kid? This should be interesting," I softly said.
"And a few of the girls who saw him come by yesterday to get his schedule said he's cute. Tall and with a deep voice. Maybe time for a little hookup...." Chunji said.
I glared at him and walked to class. It was the beginning of the school day and I didn't need them playing matchmaker. Heck, we weren't even two months into the school year yet. I sighed as I sat down at my desk. Chunji sat to my right and Henry sat right in front of me. I noticed then that the only open seat in the room was next to me. Great. If we did get this new kid, he'd have to sit right next to me. Total day brightener.
"Okay class, today we have a new student. Please introduce yourself," the teacher said.
A tall guy stepped forward and bowed. "Hello. I'm Park Chanyeol. Nice to meet you all."
The teacher looked around the room. "Please take a seat next to _____."
Chanyeol sat down and the teacher began a boring lesson. I sighed and began to doodle randomly in my notebook. They were just little things like soda cans, rabbits, and monkeys. When the lesson finally ended and we had a break, I was grateful. My brain wanted to explode.
"Hi. I'm Chanyeol. What's your name?" A deep voice asked from beside me.

"I'm _______."
"Do you think you could help me with the homework the teacher just gave me? This isn't my best subject."
Chunji yanked on my arm and pulled me over to him before I could answer. "You should totally help him," he whispered in my ear. Then he shoved me back over.
I almost fell but thankfully Chanyeol caught me. He helped me sit upright and let me go.
"Um thanks," I told him, tucking a lock of hair behind my ear.
I got up and left the room. I noticed how fast my heart was beating. What was Chanyeol doing to me?
