because of that "incident" that didn't even involve myself, I didn't walk home with haechan just now. he did chase after me but I just speed walk away. I don't even know what was wrong but I just didn't feel like it. didn't he just promise me yesterday? I shouldn't even really trust that, because I'm pretty sure he'll never have me as a girlfriend even if I'm the only female left in this earth. I should never overestimate such promises.

"omma, I'm home." I removed my shoes and slipped on those fuzzy home slippers and head into the kitchen. "where's haechan?" I ignored her question and made myself some cereal for lunch.

"did the both of you fight?" I got kind of annoyed, I don't even know the reason why. I just walked into my room without answering her questions.

I sat down on my comfortable seat and placed my bowl of cereal on the table. I didn't get to eat my lunch just now because of that freaking teacher, thinking about it pisses me off. in less than 10 minutes, I finished up the bowl of cereal and I left the bowl on the table. I decided to complete some homework before I head for my night classes later.

my phone vibrated and I opened up the message that was sent by haechan.

I heard a knock on my door. "yes?" the door slipped open and reveals my best friend, haechan. "you ready to go?" I merely just shook my head and went to my closet and picked out a set of clothes. "are you mad at me? you didn't reply to any of my messages."

I sighed. I shouldn't act like this. "nah I'm fine. I'm just tired." haechan face grew a smile. " I'll wait for you outside." he left the room and I took a quick shower inside my bathroom.

I really don't know why I am acting like this, but I'm pretty sure that I don't like him.

the outfit was simple, just a yellow Snoopy t-shirt and some shorts. better to go casual than going all out.

after so, I put in some of the works I was assigned to last friday and walked out of the room with the bowl. I cleaned the bowl then wore my shoes.

"you're done. let's go to school now." I nodded and unlocked the door. "omma, I'll be going now." I saw my mother's grin. I guess she's happy that we "patched up" even though nothing really happened.

we entered the air-conditioned classroom right at the highest level of the school building. there are very little students here since most students felt that it isn't necessary. I want to score well for my exam, so of course, I have to put in the extra effort.

I went to the seat that's the nearest to the teacher and settled down. I have my notes settled in front of me and I started flipping through it. "jaeni, can you don't act like that? did I do something wrong? can you please tell me?" I shook my head, "you did nothing wrong. I'm really tired, that's why." he ruffled my hair, so did my heart flutter. "give me a smile, I don't want you to be unhappy okay. well, it's better not to smile. just so those other guys wouldn't fall for you, so I can be your boyfriend when next year comes."

that made my heart jump really quickly. is this somewhat an indirect confession? did he just, confess?

"aish, just smile." I gave him a small smile and he chuckled. "kyeopta."

that literally boosted my mood for the whole lesson.
