The New Step Sister

Nineteen

I got through my morning classes and was heading out to the cafeteria for lunch. I grab my tray, get my food, and scan the room.

I see Taehyung and Jimin with their soccer teammates at one table. I couldn't sit with them because there was no room left. Then I see Jungkook at a table with a couple of guys and girls. He was talking to a girl with familiar black hair. Mina. She spots me, and gives me a death stare.

Can't sit there. I look more around the room. I thought I would have to sit on the floor, when I see Sam waving her hand at me. Relieved, I go to her table and sit down.

"Wow, Sam, am I glad to see you!"

"I know, I know.. I'm irresistible."

We both laugh and start chatting.

"So, how are you liking Mountain View High School so far?" Sam asks.

I look down. "It's alright."

"Uh oh. That look tells me that you met Mina."

I look back up at her. "Yeah, she was pretty mean to me. What's her problem?"

Sam rolls her eyes. "What's not  her problem? I'm almost positive that she was raised by the devil. She has been pushing me around since fifth grade!"

I groan and put my hands on my head. "Now she's going to push me around too."

Sam laughs. "Now I'll have someone to suffer with."

I smile. I'm glad I met Sam. She seems like a genuine friend. We talk until lunch was over, and the bell rings for us to get back to class.

I say bye to Sam and start walking to class. I hear someone call my name and rushes up next to me. "Hey, y/n!" Jimin said.

"Sorry you couldn't sit with Tae and I. I wanted to clear some space for you, but too many people were sitting down and.."

"Jimin, its alright." I laugh. "I sat with my friend Sam."

"Oh, whew.. I'm glad. My heart was breaking just thinking about you sitting alone on your first day."

"Thanks for worrying about me, Jimin. You really are very sweet."

"The sweetest guy around," his eyes turns into crescents as he smiles.

"Uh, hey I wanted to ask you," he says, "if you want to go to my soccer practice after school?" He watched me with hopeful eyes.

"Sure. I can cheer for you!"

"Great!" Jimin said ecstatically. "I'll see you then."

We both head to our classes and finish the rest of the school day.

I find my way to the stands that overlook the soccer field. I see Jimins distinguishable blonde hair amongst the other players.

They start practicing, kicking and running after the ball. Jimin looks to the stands and makes eye contact with me. He smiles widely and waves.

His teammate kicks the ball to him, and he starts running toward the goal, dodging his opponents, and  scores a goal.

"Wooo! Go Jimin!" I jump up and start clapping. Even from far away, I could tell he was blushing and trying to suppress his smile.

The practice goes on as I cheer for Jimin yelling out his name and clapping.

For awhile I didn't even notice Tae was in the practice too. He looked annoyed, stitching his eyebrows together and clenching his jaw.

Once the practice was over I rushed to Jimin and jumped in his arms to give him a hug.

"Ahh y/n! You shouldn't hug me, I'm all sweaty!"

We giggled. "You were so good out there!"

Taehyung came trudging up in the middle of our conversation. "Yah, why didn't you cheer for me?"

"Oh, sorry Tae. I was just caught up with Jimin. Next time I promise to only yell out your name."

His expression melted in a small smile. He then went closer to me, and whispered in my ear, "You can yell out my name in other situations too." He pulled back and gave me a smirk.

He started walking away and said, "Come on guys, I called our driver to pick us up."

I was left a bit flustered, my mouth hanging open. Jimin noticed and raised an eyebrow. "What did Tae just whisper to you? Did he say something mean?"

I came back to reality and shook my head. "N-No it was nothing."

Jimin was about to say something else, but I interrupted him. "Come on, Jimin let's catch up to Tae so he doesn't drive away without us."

I grab his hand and we start running up to Tae. We all head to the car and drive home.
