Can We Be Friends? | jjk

☆13☆ : Library

What the heck is happening?

That was my very first thought when I read the fudging message.

I went through my hair with my left hand and sighed.

Another threat means another round of negotiation.

And here we are the emergency meeting within 24h.

"You think the new announcement is changing anything?" Jimin scribbled something into his notebook.
I gave him a look that expressed my trust towards the committee.
"Haha! I should know!" Jimin shook his head. "They were quite stubborn last time."

~ A few hours later ~

We left the building at last with Headmaster Owen.
"President Park, I quite of know you're worried about this situation. But as everyone expressed already safety will be increased! I do absolutely trust our security team that will track down this anonymious blackmailer!" Headmaster Owen declared.
I just thanked him for his good will and excused us.

"Kyungmi, I'll go to the gym to meet up with the baseball team, wanna join?" Jimin asked me after I told him how ridiculous the meeting was. Jimin my caring friend and vice president always made sure I'd lose up after a very stressful day, so was he now.
"Well, I'd love to lose some tension but I need to do some research for my presentation in literature." I answered.
"Oh, too bad! Jungkook wanted you to come-" he cleared his throat. "Uhm, what I mean was - ouch!!!" he flinched when I pinched his cheek.
"So you don't want me there but just because some guy named Jungkook does you're so persistent?!" I threatenend him playfully.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'll see ya!" he ran away in a second.
I laughed. Man, he was a scared little puppy!
Then I went into serious mode again.
I walked to the library when I got a text message.

Have you been at the
infirmary today?

Sh#t!!!

I ran to the infirmary. Ms Aurora was most likely mad!
I always forget our meetings!

When I got to the infirmary panting like I've been trying to get first place at a marathon Ms Aurora was already waiting for me in her room.

"I uh, had a meeting sorry for being late." I panted.
When I flopped onto her chair to get examined she scoffed. "You know that I attended that very meeting myself, right?"
I bit my lip. Oops!
"I'll come early next time!"
"Tomorrow!"
I put my hands up in surrender "Okay, okay!"

After being examined by a grumpy Ms Aurora I got out of the building to finally go to the library.

That's when I remembered - who texted me earlier?

I took out my phone.

Who are you?

Sweetie, you don't have my
number saved?
I'm hurt!

Urggh, there is only one person
who calls me that...

I'm honoured to be this person ;)

Coucil Jeon, are you hurt or
honoured?
Get your acts together!

Haha, feisty like always!
Have you been to Ms Aurora?

Yupp, thanks for reminding me!

He suddenly called me.

"I can't believe you really forgot!" I heard him grinning through the phone.
"Uurrgh, it wasn't on purpose!" I sighed.

It was nice of him to remind me. And even remembering that I had to go to the infirmary.

He chuckled "Are you now being a naughty girl? If you're joining the bad side, call me up there a lot of things I can teach you!"

Nevermind.

"Don't you have baseball practise?"
"I do. But I do set my priorities differently." I could tell that he smirked.
Just in that moment I heard the coach yelling something and the guys bawling out.
"Get back to practise you lazy ass."
"Nope! I have the 'exchange student advantage' remember?"
"I won't be responsible for this." I said and hung up.
Jungkook was so annoying!!!

I went inside the library. As expected just a few students were in it at this hour.
I went past the study groups, who debated about the importance of oil and the bookworms that silently sat in those armchairs, trying to focus on their books but at the end still listening to the study groups.
I smiled. That was definitely me two years ago!

I went to the back of the library and put my notebook on the table. This is the quietest corner of the library with just a few sitting opportunities to enjoy.
I sighed "Franz Kafka, here I come!"

I started my last slide of the presentation when I heard some students coming to the bookshelves near my workplace.
"Whatcha think about this anonymious guy?"
"Bitch, what is there to think of? It's hella lit!"
"What? He writes something in whatever language that is and expects people to know what it's about?"
"I think it's spanish."

I facepalmed myself. These idiots.

"Duuuh, I don't care. What does he want anyway?"
"How do you know it's a guy?"
"I don't know, do you think a girl would do something like that?" the guy laughed.
"Why not? It's a free country!" the girl sassed back.
"Haha! Maybe! But what does he want, hmh?"
"Probably playing around, haha!"
"Noooo, bitch! There something with that stupid '10 years ago' thing, kinda creepy, huh?"
"Are you wetting your pants, you fucker?" another guy laughed.
"Nooo." everyone was now laughing.
The librarian told them to be quiet and soon they left.

I snap shut my notebook. These kids are stupid but damn right about one thing:
I wonder too, what happened 10 years ago?
