(Y/N) P.O.V

We walked together to school and everyone's gaze was on us. We bid goodbye and I got to Taehee. She was talking to Haneul, a kind and cute girl.

I hugged Taehee as a greeting while she was listening to Haneul.

"What's up? Some news?" I asked.

"Haneul just told me that we will have a new student. Why didn't he transferred at begin of the new school year? "Taehee said.

"Maybe he was ill or something." I suggested.

"That could be. Do you know his name Haneul?" Taehee asked.

"No, but I heard that he's super-duper hot." She bit her lips.

Why is every girl thirsty for hot boys here? We have four and that's enough for a school like this. I heard the bell rang and walked with the girls into the classroom.

We sat down on our places and waited for the teacher. Having maths in the first hours is really boring. Taking out my notes I chatted a bit with Taehee about the last evening.

The door opened and revealed our teacher with the new student. He was tall and had blonde hair. Somehow he looked familiar and I waited to see his face. The boy lifted his head up and I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Students, this is your new classmate Lucas. Be nice to him!" The teacher announced.

Lucas scanned the room and saw me. His eyes were big as he saw me and soon after a little smile appeared on his face. He bowed and made his way through the classroom. Sitting behind me I could feel his gaze on me.

"(Y/N) is everything okay? You look a bit pale." I could hear Jaemin's voice beside me.

I quickly nodded and shushed him. I tried to pay attention, but the feeling of Lucas behind me didn't leave me. Why was he here?

"Students, today we're going to do partner task. I will make the teams." He announced.

Please don't let me be in a team with Lucas. I can't talk with him. Now he was announcing the last three teams and Lucas and I didn't get picked yet.

"Taehee and Jeno in one team, then Jaemin and Somi and lastly (Y/N) and Lucas, now please sit next to each other and do the task."

I sighed and slammed my head against the table. Why is fate so cruel?

I heard that the chair next to me was moved and smelled an awfully known fragrance.

"What a coincidence that we're meeting here (Y/N)." His voice was soft.

I decided to lift up my head. He searched for my gaze and after a bit we locked our gazes. His eyes looked troubled, he had large eye bags and his skin had some break outs.

What happened in his life? He looked somehow broken.

"Yes. I didn't think that I would see you here." My voice was trembling.

"Same goes for me. I thought I would never see you again. It was like you were swallowed up by the soil. You never replied to my messages."

I hardly breathed in. Why is he here?

"I couldn't talk to you. I was too broken." We didn't care for our task.

"I hope you're better now. I still feel sorry that I did that to you." Lucas voice was barely a whisper.

I nodded. Should I ask him how his life is? He broke my heart, but I still care for him.

"How is your life?" My voice sounded weird and I bet he heard that.

I totally blocked out my classroom and classmates. I only looked at Lucas. Even though his skin wasn't perfect, he looked like a Greek god. His arm muscles were defined and I could see that his t-shirt tightened around his back.

"As you can see I dyed my hair blonde, I wanted a new start-"

A new start, yes, the same thing I wanted.

"-start, so I also changed school. I got a few problems with my family, but this isn't your problem now. " His voice broke.

What did they do now? His family was quite problematic.

"Why is this slut here again? I told you not to bring her here." His mother bickered.

"Mother, she is not a slut!" Lucas voice got louder.

"I saw her flirting with your father! How can you love this bitch?" His mother screamed.

She was mentally ill and abnormal jealous. I couldn't be mad at her, even though she hates me so much. She can't do anything against it. It got harder as Lucas' father started to drink.

"Stop with that nonsense! How often do I need to tell you that?" Lucas voice cracked.

He was exhausted from the whole drama. He couldn't be happy one moment with his parents. He always told me that I'm the only source of his happiness.

"Let's go babe, we know that. She will calm down, when I'm gone."

With that I grabbed his hand and towed him out of the house.

"If you want to talk about it, I'm here for you. I hope you know that." My voice was somehow stable.

I can't let him alone with his problems. He may broke me, but he had such a positive influence on me. Without him I wouldn't know what true happiness is.

"Thank you (Y/N)." He grabbed my hand and smiled genuinely at me.

Why is my heart racing?

"Yah, Princess, can you help me?" A voice disrupted us.

I turned and saw Jaemin looking at us with a dark expression. Hurriedly I pulled my hand away. Lucas furrowed his brows as he heard the nickname Jaemin gave me.

"Jaemin, we didn't even start the task. Do it yourself." My voice was sharp.

A bit taken a back he turned to his partner, without saying a thing. Was I too harsh?

"Is-is he your new boyfriend?" Lucas voice was silent.

"Oh god no, he's just a good friend of mine. He always calls his friends by nicknames." I weirdly laughed.

Lucas nodded hesitantly. He looked at the sheet and shook his head. Math was never his favourite subject. And finally we started to work.

I didn't talk a word with Jaemin after the little incident. Lucas asked me if he could sit with us at lunch and tarried I said yes. This will be awkward.

Lucas introduced himself to my "squad" and everyone liked him. His laugh was contagious and his bright personality made him likeable. Only one person wasn't happy about his presence.

Jaemin suspected Lucas to be my ex-lover. He didn't smile one time at him or laughed at his jokes. His mood was frozen. I noticed it and tried talk to him, while the others were busy with Lucas.

"What's wrong Jaemin?" I touched his arm.

"I thought he broke your heart? How can you be so normal around him?" His voice was low.

"Well, I'm not feeling too well around him, but what can I do? I can't run away from the past, so I'm confronting it." I tried.

Jaemin suddenly grabbed my hand under the bank and pressed it.

"If you're not feeling well, please tell me and we're going somewhere else."

His eyes were glistening.

"I will tell you, pinky promise." We looked at each other.

Again my heart beated unnaturally fast, am I falling again?
