"guys, this is ina, my best friend from childhood." donghyuck said standing up to put an arm around me.
"aka, a baby who can't take care of herself." my eyes widened at his words, smacking him on the forehead.
"you sure you aren't talking about yourself" i said rolling my eyes.
"i would agree with that." a voice said.
"mark, shut up." donghyuck said. he introduced me to everyone in the room.
"hey." the last boy said. "i'm jaemin." he smiles, putting out his hand towards me.
"i'm sabrina."

i slammed my locker door closed, revealing a brown haired boy leaning on the one next to mine.
"hey."
i jumped, startled since i hadn't been paying attention to around me, my eyes glued to the video i was watching on my phone.
"jaemin, what are you doing here?" i asked, facing him with my phone in my hand and binder in the other. the boy chuckled, and shook his head.
"i'm supposed to guide you around the school. which you would know that you'd have a guide if you stayed for the assembly." my cheeks flushed at his words, realizing that he was gonna be my guide. that meant that my schedule was the exact same as his. great.
"right." i replied, looking away at the other students around us. silence filled the air between the two of us, until it was broken by a hall monitor motioning is to get to first period.
"come on, dance is that way." he said, grabbing my wrist to pull me forward. "we don't wanna be late." my eyes widened in return, trying to pull his grip away.
"are you okay?" he asked, noticing the bit of fear that showed in my eyes and the trembling hands.
"y-yeah, just don't grab my wrist, please." i returned, trying not to lay my eyes on his. his face softened at my words, slipping his palm into my hands.
"is this better?" he asked softly. i hesitantly nodded, a pale tone of pink spreading across my cheeks. "then let's go."
-
i sat my bag down onto one of the locker benches, reaching for my dance clothes, but interrupted by a gang of girls coming up towards me.
"hey. are you friends with jaemin and the others? one of the girls asked, the one in front in particular. i sighed at their stupid question, already used to the amount of attention and hate i got from even being near a popular guy.
"yeah, i am. why are you asking?" I said lifting my eyebrow, wanting to see what kind of cards i could pull with these stupid fangirls. her glare went deeper then before at my words, making me almost want to laugh.
"well stay away from them. they only like pretty girls, like me." she said lifting up her chin as if to show some kind of pride. i rolled my eyes, crossing my arms.
"sure, pretty girls. whatever makes you happy." i said sarcastically, staring the girl dead in the eye, causing her to gasp at my words. "now please, get lost, i have stuff to change into."
-
"you will all be learning a group dance together, and two groups of two people will be picked to do duets with each other. now since there are some people in here that i do not know how well dance yet, i'm gonna have those people do some improv, and then i will choose the duets. understood?" the dance instructor said looking at us.
we all nodded, and those new kids stepped forward to get in line and dance. luckily, dancing had been something i'd done my entire life, and i was used to doing it in front of new crowds.
soon my turn came, and i was the only one out on the wooden floor. as soon as the music turned on, my body followed it, and by the end of the song i was out of breath.
"good job, sabrina!" some students clapped and smiled at me when i sat back down next to jaemin, since it was the only seat left. i smiled at them, too out of breath to say anything back.
"you look thirsty, want some?" the boy next to me said, handing me his water bottle.
"i'm fine jaemin, thank you though." i managed to breath out, but he still shoved it into my lap anyway.
"drink it, ina." i sighed and took the water bottle, putting it just above my lips so that they weren't touching, but letting the water still pass through.
i gulped down some of it, giving it back to him only to see him staring at me.
"what?" i asked curiously, a pale shade of pink starting to crawl onto my cheeks.
"nothing." he said quietly, finally looking away.
gosh, this boy is so confusing.
