♫What if who I hoped to be was always me?♫

"As microscopes and staining techniques improved over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, scientists were able to see more and more internal detail within cells"

♫And the love I fought to feel was always free?♫

"The microscopes used by van Leeuwenhoek probably magnified specimens a few hundredfold"

♫What if all the things I've done♫

"Today high-powered electron microscopes can magnify specimens more than a million times and can reveal the shapes of organelles at the scale of a micrometer and below"

♫Were just attempts at earning love? Yeah♫

"With con focal microscopy a series of images can be combined, allowing researchers to generate detailed three-dimensional representations of cells"

♫'Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep, oh, stupid deep ♫

"These improved imaging techniques have helped us better understand the wonderful complexity of cells and the structures they form"

Taehyung sighed closing his eyes. He never paid attention in bio, so instead of listening to Mr. Johnson talking about some weird history about cells, he decided to hum 'Stupid deep'.

Ellie sat beside him half sleeping too, she looked much better today, earlier that morning she told him that she fainted because of dehydration, and got better when she drank water and ate at home.

The bell rang and everybody stood up from their seats the same time.

"Class, for next time read chapter 28" Mr. Johnson yelled between chair squeaking, loud sighs and groans.

Ellie approached Taehyung who was putting his book in his bag "life is harsh to us Tae"

Taehyung looked at her and giggled "Ellie its only one chapter". She rolled her eyes at him.

They got out in the hallway and walked towards the cafeteria.

This was the first time Taehyung had ever noticed the group of jocks sitting in the middle between the other tables. Or he knew they sat there but this was the first time he looked a little longer at them.

In between Jackson and Elias was Jk, he was laughing at something Han-bin said. Taehyung had never seen him in the schools dark blue uniform with the white shirt underneath  but he looked like he always did with messy brown hair. Taehyung noticed that Jk looked up but it was too late to look away now. Jk lifted his head as a greet and Taehyung greeted back with a smile.

Last night was actually nice, Taehyung enjoyed sitting and talking to a new person, Jk was calm and new compared to his best friends who he had so many jokes with.

He turned around and walked to his table where Ellie and Jimin already were sitting and discussing a new thing. He sat down "so whats the topic today?"

"because im from Britain i should've seen or read Harry Potter" Ellie said still her narrowed eyes locked on Jimin who was doing the same.

"you should" Taehyung stated while opening a water bottle, both of them looked at him. Taehyung looked up at his friends " i mean not because you're from Britain, but just to be a normal human being" Taehyung answered.

Typically he was the one to end Ellie and Jimins verbal fights about weird stuff, cause he was the smartest one in the group and the others knew that.

"stupid fucks" Ellie said as she started to eat her pasta. 

That was usually the sentence that ended the fight, sometimes (usually) Jimin said it and sometimes Ellie said it.

They talked about classes when someone tapped Taehyungs shoulder. He turned around and saw two, probably freshmen boys who was standing nervously in front of him.

"ah Tae-hyung, my..my name is Mark and this is Haechan" one of the boys pointed at the other, the boy who was speaking had light brown hair and cute brown eyes, the other had brown hair with a tint of red in it.

Haechan looked impatient with Marks attempt to use formal words, he pushed Mark lightly to the side "we want to ask you something" he said with a bright smile.

Taehyung liked his way of saying that "sure, whats up?" he answered calm to show them that they didn't have to be nervous.

Mark came back in the 'spotlight' "we're from the freshmen part of the schools council, and now we kind of have to plan the whole freshmen prom"

"- and how we do that, we don't know, but what we do know is that you are president of the juniors school council, and you've planned a prom party before, so do you want to help us out?" Haechan finished for Mark who sighed at his choice of words.

Taehyung smiled at them "of course". The two freshmen boys who probably had expected a no looked up in surprisement.
"thank you so much" Mark said with a thankful look while Haechan said "ohh cooool" , Taehyung gave them his number so they could contact him later, both them bowed and said thanks then rushed out of the cafeteria.

see the International High School of Seoul is huge. Its divided so the juniors and the seniors are in one building and then freshmen and sophomores in another building.
In the junior/senior building is 2,300 pupils and in the freshmen/sophomores building is 3,350 pupils. Taehyung didn't even know half of the 2300 people who were with him everyday, he didn't know anyone from the other building. Because of the many people in the school meant divided school councils that came together 3 times a year but also divided proms.

Taehyung turned around to his friends "yeah hi Mr. im-super-nice-to-everyone, we're actually your friends" Jimin said sounding a little grumpy. Ellie laughed and Taehyung laughed too.

The rest of the day went by really slow, calculus classes was wack, Japanese class was wack but English literature was nice cause Taehyung finished the test early so he could go home earlier.

At home he ate some panda express, made homework, fell asleep, woke up, took a shower, then fell asleep again.
