My Bully

Changing

I walk into my last class with Jungkook. He hands a note to the teacher, then leads me over to two empty seats in the back of the classroom. The teacher reads the note, frowns, then shakes his head. I watch as he crumples up the note and throws it in the garbage.

As he walks past us, he mutters, "High school these days."

I turn to Jungkook. "What did you tell him?" I whisper.

He shrugs. "That you were still weak, if you know what I mean."

I glare at him. "Jungkook! You can't say that!"

He chuckles. "I know. Sorry."

"But now the teacher thinks that we..."

"What happened and what people think are totally different," Jungkook interrupts. "Just ignore it." His phone buzzes. "Aish! I totally forgot to tell hyung!"

"Who?" I ask.

He pulls out his phone and starts texting. "Namjoon. He said to tell him when we came back upstairs."

He puts down his phone. A few seconds later, the intercom crackles.

"Would Min Annabelle and Jeon Jungkook please come down to the office, Min Annabelle and Jeon Jungkook to the office."

Jungkook stands up and takes my hand. I stand up too, and he moves so that his arm is around my waist.

"Are we in trouble?" I ask as we walk out of the room.

Jungkook shakes his head. "I only get called it it's Namjoon, so we're good."

I relax. We walk down the hall towards the office. I can see Namjoon waiting for us with Jin and Jhope.

"Hey Kookie," Jhope says when we get there. "How was it?" He smirks at me.

Jungkook glares at him, arm tightening around my waist. "We didn't do anything, hyung. Leave her alone."

Namjoon raises an eyebrow. "You didn't? Then why were you down there for so long?"

"We just talked. I mean, we were going to do it, but I decided to wait."

"So what, are you two dating now?" Jin asks.

Jungkook looks at me. "I don't know. What do you think, Annabelle?"

I smile. "I'm fine with that. As long as I'm never seen with that pabo." I glare at Namjoon.

Namjoon grins. "That might be hard, seeing as I'm your math tutor."

I roll my eyes. "You're still sticking to that?"

"I'm not 'sticking to' anything. It's true."

"Hyung," Jungkook interrupts before a fight can start. "Where are we going?"

"We're taking the brat to see her little alien friend," Namjoon snaps.

My eyes widen. I had totally forgotten about Taehyung! I really hope that he's okay.

"Yah!" Jungkook yells. "I told you not to call her that! She isn't a brat, Namjoon."

"You aren't the boss of me," Namjoon says. "Now let's hurry. I have someplace to be."

"Probably to make out with Jin Sung again," Jhope mutters.

"Um, Jungkook?" I look up at him, tugging on his sleeve.

He looks at me and smiles. "Yes baby?"

"What about my brother? He's going to worry when he notices I'm not at school."

"Text him. Tell him you're with us, so he doesn't have to worry."

"Are you kidding? He would be even more worried!"

"Then tell him you went with a friend to visit the alien, I mean Taehyung."

"Why do you call him that?"

"Did he not tell you?" Jungkook sighs. "I thought he would have told you."

"He told me about what happened in Scien-"

"OH, this started way before that."

I frown. "What are you talking about?"

"Come on. I'll tell you later, okay?"

He turns and we walk towards the doors. We follow Namjoon to a sleek black Ferrari, the same one that had almost hit me. I get in the back with Jhope and Jungkook, Jin getting in the front next to Namjoon. Jungkook takes my hand, rubbing my knuckles with his thumb.

"So, Annabelle," Jhope says. "How did you become friends with the- Taehyung?"

"After the lunch incident." I glare at Namjoon in his mirror. "Thanks."

He grins back at me. "No problem, love."

"Stop calling me that!" I shout.

"Calm down, baby," Jungkook says. "He's just messing with you."

I roll my eyes and pull out my phone. I send a text to Yoongi telling him that I went with a friend to visit Taehyung. A few minutes later, he responds.

Yoongs: Ok. Just b back by 5. Mom wants
2 eat dinner w/us.

I frown. He usually wants to know who I'm with.

Jhope starts talking. "So yesterday, I went out with this one girl. She was really cute, and I found out that she's, like, a year older than me. So I started calling her Noona, but she didn't want me to. Now I don't know what to call her."

"What's her name?" Jin asks. 

"Milie," Jhope responds.

"Then call her that."

"Why don't you ever go on dates, hyung?" Jungkook asks Jin.

"Are you kidding?" Jin scoffs. "No girl deserves to be my girlfriend. I'm too gorgeous for them."

"Oh, shut up Jin," Namjoon says. "You just don't want them to be weirded out by how narcissistic you are."

"Are they always like this?" I ask Jungkook.

He grins. "Yeah. They're great, aren't they?"

"Oh my God!" Jhope shouts. "It's a cat! Namjoon, don't hit it!"

There's a thud, and Jhope looks horrified.

Namjoon grins. "Oops."

Jhope starts crying. Jungkook leans over my lap and tires to comfort him. I groan. 

Why did I have to come to school today?
