When the bell rings, Renjun immediately grabs his backpack and walks toward the door but before he steps out, someone pulls his wrist.

"Ugh. Great." Renjun mentally says.

He looks at the person who grabs him with a dark aura. The person didn't flinch at him nor cares that Renjun looks like he wants to stab him.

"Hey, I'm Felix. Ni-"

"I don't care." Renjun rips his wrist off and walks away. When he's already outside, Renjun tiptoes to look for Donghyuck over the crowd. As the crowd continue to lessen, Renjun still haven't seen his bestfriend.

"Where the hell is he?!" Instead of waiting, Renjun scoots closer to his bestfriend's classroom. He peeks outside and sees Donghyuck wiping the board. Renjun decides to open the door and few students who are fixing the chairs give him a questioning look but Renjun didn't spare them a glance.

"Renjun! I'm sorry for keeping you so long." Donghyuck puts down the eraser.

"Go wash your hands first. There are chalk dusts."

"Oh! Where should I wash my hand? Maybe there's a secret sink under my desk!" Donghyuck sarcastically says.

"Asshole." Renjun scoffs.

As Renjun and Donghyuck walk outside the room while bickering. Some student curses out saying the new guy didn't even finish wiping the board and how it is going to be another set of work.

"I hate our adviser. He's such a clean freak." The other student adds.

Only four students are left inside the classroom including Jeno and Jaemin. Jaemin is quietly sweeping the floor while his boyfriend, Jeno, is just seated.

"Those two who left are new students right? Or I just don't pay attention to our old classmates?" Jeno asks him but Jaemin just gives him a confused look.

"You didn't look at them?"

"No."

Jeno heaves a sigh and stands up. Jaemin puts the dustpan back and  so it's a cue for Jeno that they're finally leaving.

"I'm so hungry. Let's go to the cafeteria." Jeno whines.

Before going out, Jaemin looks at the two other students who are still not finish at their assigned tasks. "Guys! Don't forget to eat your lunch. I'm sorry if the teacher picked you both to clean." Jaemin frowns at the two but they give him a reassuring smile and waves him off. Jaemin bid a goodbye then he closes the door.

"Nana, why are you so nice? Can't you be a bad ass for once?" Jeno asks his boyfriend as they walk down the stairs. Jaemin chuckles and snakes his hand on Jeno's arm. The two of them are actually bestfriends since preschool up to now. You can say that they grow up in this academy that's why everyone knows them. And they're pretty famous.

It was on their 7th grade when Jaemin feels different. He blushes whenever Jeno will touch him. He stutters while he compliments him. He can't look at him in the eye without feeling uneasy. Until one day, he blurts out to him if he can be his boyfriend and Jaemin didn't expect that Jeno would cry and hug him while saying 'I've waited for this moment!' Their parents know it too and expected that this would happen even the teachers and school personnel knows about their relationship. What they love about here is that the students accepted it and more keeps on coming out because of the two. Also the school don't tolerate unwell behaved students and so is Jaemin. He's the student council president after all.

But unfortunately, there's a fight going on when they arrived at the school cafeteria. Not really a fight but just someone shouting at the 10th grader whom Jaemin and Jeno knows. Jaemin removes his hand from Jeno and tells him to order their food while he fix this commotion.

"What's happening?" Jaemin finds his way beside a boy who's just watching the scene and asks. The boy is stunned because Na Jaemin, the school's sweetheart, is having a conversation to a mere boy like him.

"Uhm. The boy g-got mad because s-someone bumped i-into him and now his food is w-wasted." The boy stutters and Jaemin flashes him a quick smile and thanks.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry?! Do you think sorry can fix everything? My food got wasted because you're so clumsy!" Renjun screams in frustration. His first day is totally ruined.

It all started when Renjun and Donghyuck already bought their food but as they were finding an empty table someone bumped into him that cause his tray to fall down. Pretty cliché.

"Hyung, I can buy you a new set of meal." The guy behind the boy who bumped him says in a way that makes Renjun angrier.

"I don't need your money to buy me a new one. That boy—" Renjun points at the boy who looks like a Chinese. "—needs to know that this is not a freaking playground and should act like his age so he won't bump into someone like me again. And you—" Renjun turns his pointy finger to the taller youngman." —just because you're rich, you can be arrogant and say 'I'll buy you this and that' because not everything is about money."

"Don't talk to Jisung like that!" The Chinese boy defends his friend.

"Losers it's true." Donghyuck adds. He's clearly annoyed by the youngsters. If only they didn't flirt while walking then this wouldn't happen.

"Stop. Chenle already said sorry and Jisung offered to buy you a new meal. You're making things worse."

"Jaemin hyung!"

Renjun moves his head to the direction of the guy they called hyung. As he can see, Jaemin guy is unhappy at the situation but Renjun is unhappy too or more like he's furious because another asshole don't get his point. Renjun smirks at the three of them. 'Stupid rich men' He thinks.

"Can't believe you don't get my point but that's okay. I don't want to explain it further since your brains won't process it." Gasps and whispers are heard and Renjun didn't know that they already have an audience. Nice. In a sarcastic way.

"You don't have to be rude."

"You call that rude? I call that stating facts." Renjun spits.

"Fix your attitude. We don't accept that in here." Jaemin is calmer than the ocean when he says those words yet Renjun is a raging storm. Renjun walks towards him, not minding their height differences. He puts his pointy finger onto Jaemin's chest while he sternly looks at him in the eyes.

"Fix your perspective also. Try to analyze my point. Money don't grow on trees."

Donghyuck grabs his other wrist just to make sure he won't do anything to Jaemin. Renjun closes his eyes then he backs away. Renjun picks up the tray and the wasted chicken and spaghetti that costs so expensive. But before he finally go out the scene, his cold eyes bore into Jaemin's calm ones once again.

"The three of you proved me that rich kids don't even care."

Renjun is going overboard by judging them but he can't help it. They won't get his point because they are different. Renjun is different.
