My Hope

Chapter 4

After we finish up our food, Hobi picks up our trash and throws it away. He then grabs my hand gently which makes goosebumps from all over my body. He gives me his wide smiles and pulls me back out to the city.

"So what types of things do you want to see?" He asks and looks over his shoulder at me. "Or do you just want me to surprise you?"

I think for a moment and let out a small laugh, "I want you to surprise me, please."

Hoseok nods his head and slows down his speed walking. He keeps his hand wrapped around me though and this makes my face turn slightly red. Not even my ex would do this and he was supposed to me my number one guy friend. I shake my head and concentrate on what he was telling me about each thing we pass by.

"I really do thank you for this," I say softly. "You are a really great person for doing this."

Hobi stops in his tracks and turns to face me. His face was slightly red and any person would be able to tell that it was because he was blushing. I smile slightly at this and scan his face as he tries to figure out something to say. His eyes lock on mine and he lets out a small laugh along with his beautiful wide smile.

"Ah, your smile is so heart warming," I say without thinking.

My eyes widen when I realize what just came out of my mouth and now he too was very shocked by my words.

"I am so sorry. That was really weird," I say quickly and look away from him. 

"No no no, its okay!" Hoseok says and places his hands on my shoulders. "Really. You just got me tongue tied honestly."

I stare up at him with embarrassment. 

"What I mean is that you are the first girl to actually say something so nice to me. I usually get made fun of and yeah..."

My heart sinks a little hearing, knowing I was that type of person. But I really did want to change. Maybe this was the way to help me. Becoming friends with this amazing person standing in front of me.

"Oh, well sorry. It really is a nice smile though. Makes me smile," I say and give him my best smile to show him I wasn't just saying so. 

"Thank you," He says with a small chuckle. "Your smiles is beautiful and heart warming as well."

My stomach suddenly flips at his words and I could swear my face was beat red.

"Thank you, Hobi," I say gently. 

He nods his head and messes up my hair with his large hands. He then starts to walk down the street, going slow so that I could quickly catch up to him. I do so and look around as the sky starts to get dark and all the lights turn on throughout the city. It was so beautiful and I was really starting to think that this wasn't such a bad place anymore.

A week passes and it was finally the first day of school. Hoseok was going to walk to school with me and since he had all the same classes he was going to stay by my side. This was nice because I didn't know anyone besides him. 

I quickly hop into the shower and watch my hair and body before jumping out and drying myself off. I then grab some black skinny jeans and jump around while trying to put them on. I finally get them up and over my butt and pick out a white shirt before putting my hair up in a messy bun. I really didn't want to put on any make-up since it would take to long and I just really wanted to hang out with Hobi before school started. 

I smile as I look at myself in the mirror before I grab my bag and head towards the front door. Ever since the night Hoseok showed me around I had developed a small crush on him. I knew it was probably not a good idea, so of course I just acted like I didn't.

I swing the door open and a scared looking Hobi with his fist raised comes into my view. He then smiles and his eyes disappear a little from how wide it was, which was very adorable like always.

"You scared me," He says and places his hand over his heart.

I give him a cheeky smile back and say, "Sorry, was excited to see you."

He blushes and rubs the back of his neck, "I was also excited. That's why i'm here so early."

I let out a laugh and walk out, shutting the door behind me as I do. I let out a small sigh and follow the boy to the elevators. He pushes the button and we wait in silence. This was the first time in a while that it was completely quiet between us. 

The elevator dings and we step inside. I look around and pull my back-pack strap around me more. 

"So, I know you've told me what school is like, but can you explain it again? If possible?"

Hoseok laughs a little and looks up at me. He then looks away and lets out a small breath.

"It's hell."

I roll my eyes and let out a laugh hearing him. He shrugs his shoulders and gives me a look that said he was telling the truth. I nod my head and bump my shoulder into his. Then the elevator opens and we step out, walking out of the building and towards the school. 

Once we arrive at the school, people were staring me down hard core. I felt so out of place and ended up moving closer to Hobi. I see a smile appear on his face and smile myself. I look around and catch the sight of the girls that had made fun of us a week ago. And again they were pointing and laughing at us again. Others were watching and some were joining in. Suddenly I am hit and everything goes flying to the ground that I had in my hands.

"Ah, are you okay?!" Hobi asks and helps me with my stuff and once we have everything I stand up to see who had rammed into me. I frown when I see a guy with his hair messed up, his shirt unbuttoned to the point it showed some of his bare chest, and his jeans full of holes. He looked like the rebel in the school. I give him a glare and quickly walk away with Hoseok. 

This was going to be an interesting year for me.
