The light burns

Part 4

"Omg have you heard that rumor about Yuna and Seventeen living together? I heard that their parents are getting married!" Rumors spreads in the hallway as all fourteen of us walk through it. Seventeen? Is that their group name? Well my friend's group name is Wanna one so I can't judge. My group name should be Una. Get it cause my name is Yuna and uno means one? No? Okay. All eyes were on us and I hated it. The boys acted as if nothing was going on. I just wanted to get to my class asap. "Oh I need to finish my homework! I'll go first. See you after school!" I ran off from my brothers. It was obvious I was flustered. I ran to my class and shut the door behind me. "Daewhi! Guanlin!" I yelled as I ran to them. "Yuna! Have you heard about the rumors?" Daewhi asked. "Of course! The hallways were filled with them." Guanlin got serious,"You should be careful for the fangirls. They'll probably hate you. They can go too far sometimes like I once heard someone hugged Mingyu and the next day she was dumped with flour and eggs." Goosebumps went up my spine. The fangirls are more worse than bullies. They go extreme at all times. "But it's not my fault! It's not like I wanted to live with them!" I realized I yelled out that and everyone in the class was looking at me. I bowed down and sat down quietly. "You should still be very careful. I would be even to scared to go to school if I were you." Daewhi warned. I shivered in fear. The teacher walked in and everyone became silent. Class went by quickly and it was already break time. "Are you gonna sit with us today?" Guanlin asked. I nodded,"Of course. That's what I do everyday." He nodded in response. I grabbed my phone and head to the lunch room with Guanlin and Daewhi. "Do any of you guys have any after school sports?" I asked. "Well, some of us are in basketball and soccer but not all of us." Daewhi responded. I can't believe I have to stay an extra hour! What's so important about going home all together? I sat down with all eleven boys and put my head down. I miss being the only child. I miss living with no trouble. UGH! I could hear the boys' thoughts worrying about what's wrong with me. They knew better than to mess with me when I'm at this state. They stayed quiet the whole lunch. The day went by slowly but I was already heading to basketball practice to watch Seungcheol and the others. I sat down on the bleachers by myself and watched the boys running around chasing a ball. I groaned. Then Woojin caught my eye. Woojin? He realized me and looked up at me then waved with a huge smile. I waved back. I never knew he liked basketball. He seemed more of a soccer guy to be honest. I checked my phone. 45 more minutes?! I can't sit here for another 45 minutes. I stood up and walked to the hallways. I need to use the restroom. The hallways were empty and silent. It felt different. I remembered the words from Guanlin and Daewhi about the fangirls. Goosebumps covered my arms. I should just go to the bathroom and go back. I sped walked to the bathroom but before I turned the corner I felt someone's presence. No, three presences. Three girl presences. They were talking very softly. "Let's wait quietly for Yuna. I heard she is staying after school today." A voice said. I tried walking back slowly but my shoes made a squeaky noise. Shit! Before I could start running, the girls were already in front of me. One of them grabbed my hair and threw me to the wall. I was too scared to use my strength. I was too scared to use my speed. I was just too scared. "Yah! You little punk! I didn't know you were spying on us! Who told you that you can be next to Seventeen!" One of them yelled. I thought of solutions and all I thought of was mind messages. I sent a mind message to Seungcheol. 'Help. I need help.' I was shaking in fear. "Please s-stay away from m-me." I stuttered. The girls smirked,"Or what?" They all laughed in unison. One of the girls were gonna kick me in the stomach and another girl was gonna punch me in my face. "I said GET AWAY FROM ME!" I created fire through my hands and I made a border between me and the girls. Fear was clearly shown in their eyes. The girls yelled in fear. "Stay away from me!" I yelled. The fire was growing and I threw fire to the girls using my bare hands. The girls dodged it and ran from the scene. My eyes became red and my fangs and veins were visible. Calm down Yuna. Control your power. I didn't listen to myself and my anger grew inside of me. The girls yelled words such as monster and freak as they ran away. No, I'm not a monster. I promise. I realized I was in a circle surrounded by fire. What do I do? I'm trapped. I collapsed to my knees. I don't know what to do. As I sat there confused and terrified, the fire became taller surrounding me. "Yuna!" I heard Seungcheol's voice. "Stay back! You're gonna get hurt!" I yelled through the crackling of flames. The smoke filled the hallways and my lungs. I'm scared. This is all my fault. Maybe everyone is right. I'm just a monster. I shivered in my own body. I cuddled up in my body and cried. "Oppa! I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I'm gonna die. I don't wanna die!" I sobbed uncontrollably. "Yuna! You have to calm down or else I can't get to you!" Seungcheol was panicking as the fire got bigger. "Don't you remember? Father said that we have to go home together. Let's go home Yuna!" My breathing became slower. "Yeah that's it. Slow down your breathing! Only think about me! And your other brothers! Think about Mother and Father!" The fire was dying down and my veins went back in my arms. I thought about the important people in my life. The fire went down to the floor and the only thing left were the ashes. I saw Seungcheol standing there stunned. My chest was still puffing and my fangs were still visible. My eyes glowed bright red but I was relieved to see him. "Yuna!" Seungcheol ran to me and pulled me in a hug. The feeling as he hugged me made me feel like I knew him for my whole life. I hugged him back and clenched on to his shirt making my nails dig into his back. "I-I was so scared and the flames were t-too big. I didn't know what to do." I managed to say before breaking out in tears. I was sobbing loudly in his chest. He must've been shocked to see me as a crybaby. My hiccups were loud and my tears kept coming. "It was so scary a-and I thought I couldn't control my powers and I was g-gonna die!" I was sobbing as if I couldn't stop. Well I really couldn't. "Shh. Shh. I know. I know you were scared. You're okay now." He patted my head softly. You must be wondering why I'm such a crybaby over such an incident. Well fire is my least favorite power but that's a different story for a different time. Suddenly my lungs became suffocated and my head was spinning. My breaths got faster again. "Seungcheol-"  Before I could finish my sentence, I was blacked out left in the smoke.
