The light burns

Part 9

"I'm ready!" I yelled as I jumped down from the stairs. "Wow, I have never seen you be so excited to go to school." Jun grinned. "Better than doing chores and assignments." I replied while shrugging my shoulders. "I bet she's gonna get suspended again anyways." Seungkwan whispered. I glared at him. He just ran out the door and into the van. Whatever. I finally finished my three day suspension and it felt like three years. I just have to keep my distance from Hyungsik and I'll be fine. All the boys went into the van and were silent the whole way. I gave myself a little pep talk in my mind making sure I don't get into any trouble. When we arrived I breathed deeply before looking at the driver, "If I get into trouble again, please pick me up before I get caught okay?" I smiled jokingly hoping it won't actually happen. He laughed out loud before waving. "You know you're my favorite." He whispered. Of course I am. I mean look at me! I get in trouble in school, have an attitude and I roll my eyes 24/7. I'm perfect basically. "Thanks." I said before getting out of the car and waved goodbye to him. The minute I started walking through the hallways whispers were already arising. Unfortunately there was no paparazzi or red carpet to fit the scene. Just kidding. I walked into my classroom to be tackled by two boys. "YUNA!" They yelled in unison. "Hey guys. I missed you. How'd I do in the fight?" I asked. Guanlin took a deep breath,"Well everyone was talking about it. It was honestly one of the best school fights this year. I heard Hyungsik got moved to another class though!" My face lightened up hearing that. Would've been better if he was moved to another school or universe but better than nothing. Class was boring but today I found myself paying attention. Surprising right? Maybe I was just terrified of getting into trouble again. Lunchtime came and I was excited to see the rest of the boys. I waited for Guanlin and Daewhi to put up their books and locked my elbow with theirs. "So any drama while I was gone?" I asked. Daewhi hummed,"Well I heard Jungkook and Mina got back together." I rolled my eyes,"They're probably gonna break up in a week and cry for a month. Status update: just got dumped! Hashtag heartbroken!" We laughed together as we arrived to the cafeteria. I wonder what the menu is today? Kimchi Jigae? No, bibimbap? But I'm in the mood for jjajangmyeon. I was so concentrated on the food that I didn't even notice Guanlin calling my name. "Wait what?" I went back to reality. "Tell me why Hyungsik is sitting in your seat at our table?" He replied as he pointed at our table. Wait what! I then see Hyungsik sitting down at my spot with the rest of my friends. He was staring right at me with that annoying smirk. The rest of the boys looked awkward. Oh that punk is so dead. First he comes out of nowhere and picks a fight and now he's taking my seat?! I stormed my way to the table but I stopped in the middle of the way. This might just lead to another fight and I am not looking forward to being home with towers of homework or dishes. Breathe in and out. Don't do anything Yuna. I looked at another table I can sit at. The only people I knew were my own brothers. What a coincidence. They had another seat. I walked over to their table and sat down. "What makes you sit here, sister?" Jeonghan asked while fixing his hair. I pointed my eyes to Hyungsik. "That annoying jerk is sitting at my seat." I whispered. They all looked at him. I banged my head on the table. This is hell. "I can't believe I have to sit here." I groaned. Mingyu rolled his eyes,"A bunch of girls would love to sit here." I scoffed. They're probably gold diggers. "Um Yuna. Behind you." Dino whispered beside me. I stood up and turned around to see a girl with a high ponytail and lots of makeup,"This is my seat." I scoffed as she said that. "Who are you?" I said while looking at her up and down. "I'm actually Seungcheol's girlfriend, Sura." My jaw dropped. Oh my god. "Uh yeah. I forgot. I promised Sura that she can sit here today." Seungcheol said as he stood up from his seat. I rolled my eyes. "Tch whatever. I would rather give my seat up than you having to sit on one of my brothers' lap. I'm pretty sure your butt implant would pop anyways or you would break their legs." I grinned as I left her speechless. I walked away slowly. "What did you say you punk?" She said as she was about to grab my hair but I grabbed her hand quickly and put her arm behind her back. She let out a quick yelp. She looked like a helpless puppy. I laughed at how helpless she looked. "You are no match for me." I whispered in her ear before letting her go. I turned around and saw that everyone was looking at me. Ugh. Don't make a scene. Don't make a scene. I lowered my head and searched for an empty seat. Just my luck. The only seat was the table my friends and Hyungsik were sitting at. I quickly took the seat between Woojin and Jisung. Hyungsik was right across from me and I felt his stares. Why did this cafeteria had to be so full? Gosh. "Did everyone heard what I said to that girl?" I whispered to Woojin. Woojin looked at me for a second before nodding. "Yup, everyone saw you hun. I would've protected you but you're not mine anymore." Hyungsik said loudly. I looked at him. I swear to God. What is his problem? "I don't need protection from you. Give me protection when you prove you're stronger than me." I crossed my arms and looked the other way. "You didn't say that whenever you get trapped by the fires you created. You always scream out 'oh no. Hyungsik save me'. Don't you remember when you use to be scared by the fires YOU created?" I felt heat rising in my body. The memories came back. The time when was at school getting bullied by these kids. I screamed and I was already in a circle of fire. No one saved me. I couldn't even save myself. Everyone called me fire freak or flame girl. I remember the tears and the screams. Hyungsik knew that those memories haunted me. He promised me to never bring it up. I slammed the table,"Oh shut up Hyungsik. What the fuck is up with you? What do you even want?" I seriously asked him straight in the eye. He chuckled "Don't you get it? I used you for fame. Ever since the beginning, all I used you for was to become more powerful. I used you so I can become stronger than you. I wanted to defeat you for more ranking and power. " He said with no emotions. I remembered that me and him had the same level of strength. He used me to gain power. He used me so he can become stronger than me? He never loved me? He didn't mean anything he ever said? "You're disgusting. You sick freak." I stood up furiously and grabbed a cup of water which I'm assuming was Woojin's. Woojin stood up holding my hand,"Yuna, calm down." I realized I couldn't let go of his grip without hurting him,"Woojin, let go or else you will get hurt." His eyes showed pain and for a second I felt bad. My anger still overtook my body. Woojin released me knowing I will hurt him. I took one last look at Hyungsik who was soaking wet. "You disgust me" I said before storming out of the cafeteria. My tears were overflowing in my eyes. That jerk. It was all lies. I don't consider him my ex anymore. I now consider him my enemy.
