Beginning of an End

My feet took steady steps to the front door that was clear of any students. I sighed in relief, figuring we were early and I couldn't be seen with the Wicked Witch of The West. I looked down at my shoes, glancing at Bomi's heels and bare legs out of the corner of my eye before fixing on my own converse and long skirt, legs covered by opaque black stockings to hide my chubby legs. I felt that if they were darkened, the size could be even slightly hidden. I usually wore stockings anyway since I was uncomfortable otherwise, but they weren't as opaque as now. My issues weren't opaque until now.

This morning, I allowed Bomi to style my hair and makeup. It felt like a dream every time she touched me and didn't have the intentions of hurting me. No, not a dream. A nightmare. I was scared of Bomi deep down. Initially, I had a strong pride that I carried, determined to show her I was stronger and better. Presently, I was frightened and trying not to shake every time she would approach me. I was scared of becoming weak. I didn't want to see Bomi as less than a snake. But she wasn't treating me as a snake. Even if she wasn't acting like a snake, I still felt like her prey. My knees shaking underneath my body every time I looked at how close she was to me.

Yet Bomi didn't give me any second glances. The female simply stepped her way into the heated building, her gum popping while waiting for me to catch up. I hated it, but I couldn't help but follow her like a lost puppy. As we approached the staircase, the chatter from upstairs gradually increased. I felt my heart sink, trying to persuade myself to stay strong and continue. I held my head high as I took short steps up the staircase. Our right foot hit the flat level of the second floor in sync, our strides finally catching up as I struggled to keep up with her long legs and eventually got the hang of it. 

It was almost as if time was slowed. As the schools most famous enemies strode down the hall side by side almost in an alliance. Unanswered questions formed a thick tension in the air, wavering around the confused and shocked students heads. I tried not to look around, keeping my head forward and eyes locked on the corner that would lead to my safety. My eyes kept taking quick glances out of the corner of my eye and by the time I locked eyes again, I noticed the group of six boys frozen at the end of the hall. They must have just turned the corner. I instantly recognized each one of them as Jungkook's friends.

Kim Namjoon, one of the smartest kids in school. He was a few years older than I was. Namjoon had been well known to me in middle school while I was failing history class and needed a tutor. Though it didn't last long, and we never talked since I entered high school.

Kim Seokjin, the school's biggest heartthrob. Almost every female and male has had a crush on him at some point. Including me, but it was pathetic and I will never forgive myself for being so stupid in thinking I could win the heart of someone so much older than me with so much competition.

Min Yoongi, the school's most well-known musician. He was quiet, but he tried to be badass. Much to no avail, he couldn't hide how soft he truly was.

Jung Hoseok, the school's football captain. He was the most sporty and competitive student in the school. He turned everything into a competition. And I must admit, holding a book above his head and making me jump for it was getting old.

Park Jimin, previously the second-biggest heartthrob in school. After Jin, Jimin was next in line to have the most followers. He was more popular with the younger girls in school rather than the older females that had more attention on Jin.

Lastly, Kim Taehyung, the school's prankster. he had no problem making everything around him into a joke or prank for his own amusement. Though he often sought the approval of others, looking around until people start laughing with him. 

My eyes searched slightly, wondering if I would lock eyes with Jungkook. I tilted my head ever so slightly as I couldn't find the boy. Suddenly, I saw a tall form move around the corner and walk between the frozen wall of boys that stared at the sight in front of them.

"Hyungs, what are you-" I faintly heard his voice cut off as I grew closer, my eyes quickly adverting away as soon as I looked into his wide eyes. I carefully and silently squeezed past each form that's eyes followed me. I suddenly felt small under everyone's gaze and before I knew it, I was yanked into a classroom, a yelp escaping my lips before the door shut behind me loudly. I spun around in shock to be face to face with Nari.

"What the fuck, Rose! Why were you with Bomi? Did she hurt you?" Nari spoke frantically while being cut off by Eunyeong. 

"More importantly, did she brainwash you? She's crazy!" Eunyeong exclaimed, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me.

"No, I-"

"She did your makeup didn't she?" Nari gasps and grabs my face to examine it. I looked more scared of the girl in front of me now.

"How could you tell?" I yelled back in shock, wondering how much this girl pays attention.

"Because you use brown eyeliner and she uses black!" She yelled back in shock and Eunyeong appeared taken back as well.

"You're crazier than her." I huffed and stepped away from her grip. I watched her roll her eyes and mumble under her breath, adjusting the heavy strap of her bag that fell from her shoulder from the sharp movements she took.

My eyes traced each line of the floorboards under my feet, adjusting my own heavy backpack that weighed down my weak shoulder. I couldn't help the smile that twitched my lips up, breathily laughing to myself as my mind reimagined the scene I saw. Jungkook looked amazing with his hair pushed back, I wondered the occasion. His face reappearing in my mind on repeat, even if it was just a split moment that our eyes locked.

I did a little spin and clapped my hands together, holding them to my chest as I made a slight giggle that turned into a fit of laughter. My laughter stopped mid-breath as soon as my eyes met Nari and Eunyeong's that were staring me down like I was a madman.

I averted my gaze quietly as I tried to think of an excuse for my giggling fit after I was scolded. I suddenly gasped in an idea, peering up into their eyes with a wild grin on my face. I hopped a little as I got closer to them. The suspicious girls backed up in response, waiting for me to speak before they were to run out in fear.

"We'll have a party at my house! Tomorrow night!" I clapped cheerfully.

"Why? What for?" They questioned in unison, exchanging glances.

"We will celebrate the beginning of the end of Bomi's reign of terror!"
