Head above the water

(Not a meme but I got new shoes and they're bomb af)

I was being shaken from my sleep, but I did not want to wake up. Groaning in frustration, I cuddled in closer to my warm pillow. I didn't understand why my pillow was moving until it laughed.

I jerked myself up and away from the person I was lying on, only to see a giggly Jimin.

"You're cute," He chuckled while tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

I knew he didn't mean it in the way I wanted him to, but I couldn't help the blush rising up to my cheeks. Hopefully he thought it was from sleep and not my gigantic crush on him.

"Why did you wake me up? What time is it?" I asked, brain muddled by sleep.

It's time to go to Literature," he explained, "We have to start working on our scene between Othello and Desdemona. It's due soon."

"I forgot about that," I pouted lightly.

"Just because you forgot doesn't mean we don't have to do it," he said, rolling his eyes playfully.

"Boo I don't want to walk to class," I said, flopping back in the infirmary bed.

"Fine then," He said, swinging his legs so his feet touched the floor and then standing up, "I guess I'll have to carry you, then."

Before I could protest one of his arms was hooked under my knees and the other was supporting my shoulders. We were halfway to the door before I realized what was going on.

"Let me down!" I squeaked and started squirming in his arms.

"Okay, okay! Stop before I drop you," he exclaimed.

I ceased my wiggling and he sat me on the ground properly.

"Meanie," I huffed out as I rolled my eyes.

"You love it," he joked.

I really do, though, I thought. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards our class. Smiling to myself, I thought about how amazing this seemed to me but how normal it probably was to him. I was whipped. Well and truly whipped.

We made it just before the bell rang, sliding into our seats only to receive confused looks from the rest of our friends. The entirety of that class we quietly worked on our talk between the main characters of Othello.

Soon enough, it was time to go to lunch. The second we walked through the door Marissa jumped into Jin's arms with a happy yelp. He smiled, hugging her back. I wished that I could do that with Jimin. Julianna walked up to me and bumped my shoulder with hers to catch my attention.

"It's kind of disappointing, isn't it? That it's not you and the guy you like doing that?" She sympathized with me.

"It is, but I'm glad that she's happy. I think she's actually going to stay in this relationship. She's liked him for so long that I think she might never get over the excitement," I agreed with her.

"I kind of wish I could be like that, too" Julianna frowned and glanced towards Namjoon.

"Ohhh, you like him, don't you?" I teased, happy that I wasn't the only one with an unattainable crush.

"It's not like he'll ever see me in that way. I'm pretty sure that I get on his nerves," She sighed.

"No he doesn't," I disagreed with her, "Keep your head up. He's just a little bad at talking to girls. Start a conversation with him first. You know you could get a brick wall to respond if you talked nice enough to it."
