No Strings Attached, Right? - On Hold -

- Chapter 13 -

The everlasting school day dragged out like usual. I have received messages and miss calls from my parents, who were very frantic and worried for my well being. I sent them a text during a short break, saying that I was perfectly fine and safe and that I won't be gone forever. Of course I still refused to tell them where I was at because I didn't need them trying to drag me back home and hurdle a storm of questions at me. Home was the last place I wanted to be. Lunch was interesting. Mona forced me to sit with her at the table that all the fuck boys sit just so she could be with her precious Namjoon. I guess she didn't realize how uneasy I felt the whole time, literally sitting with all the boys I've been with. And they all so happened to be friends too. And they all know that I've been with each of them yet they don't have a problem with that. Well, I wouldn't say they're completely okay with that. They often fight over me sometimes, is what Jimin tells me. In their group chat that I'm still not invited to. What made me feel even more icky was the way Mona and Namjoon was canoodling and even smooching each other. Gross. I will never understand what it's like to be in an actual relationship. I don't see myself being in one for a long time. I just don't understand love and romance in general. The boys, except for Namjoon, were all snickering to themselves and huddled up while showing each other something on their phones. I could guess it was pictures of the girls they slept with or the ones they were going for next. Typical fuck boys and dumb girls who can't reject them even if their life depended on it. I predict that by the time I graduate, they would've slept with all of the girls in the entire school. That's just how easy they are. Even the ones who have high walls built around them will eventually have them taken down by time one of the boys get to them.

I still don't exactly remember how I became involved with these fuckers but I know it was around the second semester of my sophomore year. Once I slept with one for the first time, I craved for more and threw away my once good girl image in the trash bin. Yes, I actually used to be a good girl. I still get good grades and is focused on getting that good education, but these boys make it harder for me to stay out of trouble.

While the thotties were ogling over the pictures of their next victims, Taehyung often glanced over at me with those baby blue contacts he had in. Why? Why does he have to do this to me. He knows that I think he looks sexy with blue eyes. I shook off the thoughts and rolled my eyes at him while playing with my food. I didn't feel like eating. I have lost my appetite due to me feeling really uncomfortable and tense. After a bit, I excused myself from Mona and her hubby before leaving the table, throwing away my food and walking outside. I sighed in relief and felt all the heaviness leave my body, my once tense muscles softening up. I just needed to get out of there. That was too much for me. I walked through the school yard alone but I didn't care at this point. Before I could even make my way over to the school's square, I was stopped by a voice.

"Are you Tiana?"

I turned around and faced a young looking petite girl who had to be a freshman, but she was sort of tall. Her chocolate eyes looked up into mines and her near black wavy hair was in a side ponytail. She held her books close to her chest.

"Yes?" I confirmed, eyeing her.

She glanced away for a bit before speaking, "I want to be like you."

Uh what? What does she mean by that?

My eyes widened a bit go that statement.

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

She repeated herself but louder, "I want to be like you. You're cute, popular, and all the boys flock to you. Especially Taehyung. I've been crushing on him since the first day... "

I stared at her blankly and blinked a few times. What an impressionable little girl. And honey, I'm actually popular for all the wrong reasons.

"Uh... " I uttered staring at the ground blankly. Nobody has ever actually looked up to me before at this school and were always throwing me hateful looks and whispering things about me behind their backs.
