Star laid on her stomach next to me, her chin resting in her hands, with her legs swinging back and forth in the air, as she pointed out when I made mistakes on my paper. I feel bad for doubting her, cause she really was smart. I was jealous of her, once again. She had patience with me,even when I got the same question wrong over and over again. She had only chuckled at my confused expressions, then re-explained everything from the beginning. I wondered how she was this smart...even after I heard how she has a tendency to skip school.
I was now on my last question on the worksheet, as Star breathed down my neck nervously, seeing if I would make the wrong move. Okay, just get it right. Don't be an idiot. Don't get distracted by her perfume. Which conveniently smells like cotton candy. Wait, now i'm hungry.I mentally slapped myself. Focus. Make Namjoon proud.
I hesitantly started on the question, trying to take in all the information she had told me this past hour. Surprisingly, I felt confident in myself. I might just be able to do this. Three agonizing minutes later,I set the pen down hesitantly, waiting for her reaction. Please don't embarrass yourself and get it wrong after this whole hour.
Surprisingly, I heard her chuckle. Is she chuckling because I got it wrong and she thinks I'm stupid, or because I got it right and she's relieved that she can finally kick me out of her house now? Her excited voice broke my momentary doubt "You did it Chim Chim! All my work didn't go to waste after all" She punched my shoulder playfully, as if we where child hood friends.
I let out a breath in relief, before sitting up to face her excited form. "So I got it right? Am i not stupid after all?" She frowned, looking genuinely upset. What did I say? "Don't be so hard on yourself Chim. You were never stupid in the first place." I really like the nickname she gave me. It's like our little thing. I don't know why I feel so special for that. I'm sure she has nicknames for her other friends as well.
I shrugged, and small frown on my face "Sometimes I feel stupid." Crap, now i'm going to spill all of my insecurities. I should stop while I'm ahead. The bed dipped over next to me, as she had scooted over cutely, to rest a hand on my shoulder. Iv'e never seen this side of her. The serious side. The caring side. "Why? Do people tell you that stuff?" My mind immediately went to my days in elementary school, and dance class. The kids picking on me, and telling me I'm not good enough. The dance teacher humiliating me in front of the whole class, making me feel useless. I guess I just started to believe them over the years.
But I don't tell her that. I shrug my shoulders instead. To my surprise, her eyes shown in anger. "Who's saying those things to you? Should me and Jen go beat them up?" She raised her small fists in a threatening gesture, though in my eyes she just looked like a kitten trying to act tough. Though I know she could definitely do some damage. I don't want to test her. Or the seemingly sweet and innocent Jen. Them together would take down anyone.
Though, despite sadness, only one thing was on my mind. She would beat someone up for me? Maybe she does care about me. Even if it's just a little, it's a start...right? I smiled shyly at her protectiveness, lightly lowering her oh so threatening fists. I chuckled "Don't worry about it. Whats in the past stays in the past. I'm fine now" She looked skeptical, but sighed out in defeat anyway.
I suddenly heard 'Sexy back' by Justin Timberlake blast out, coming from my pocket. Damn you Jin for insisting you set that song for your ringtone. I fumbled in my pocket, while Star was holding a hand over her mouth to stop her from laughing. Finally, I brought it out, and clicked answer,holding the phone to my ear, already red with embarrassment. I'm so gonna kill him for this. "Hey, it's me, your hottest friend. Just called to make sure your using protection-" I cut him off from Stars hearing as I hurriedly clicked him off of speaker phone. Star's face was red from holding in her laugher, while mine was red from embarrassment.
Star called out, loud enough for Jin to hear "Don't worry Jin, Chim is being very respectful" Jin bursted out laughing, while I face palmed. "D-did she just call you Chim?" He sputtered out between laughs. I'm never gonna hear the end of this one. "Thanks for checking up, but I gotta go now, by Hyung" I hurried out, but before I could hang up, he hurried out "Wait! I originally called to ask you if you wanted to invite Star and Jen with us tomorrow at the amusement park down town. Tae lost a bet to Yoongi and now he has to ride the Grim Reaper." I'm not even going to ask how any of that even came up in the first place.
Star called out, making sure Jin could hear her "Jen and I would love to go" Rolling my eyes, I put the phone back on speaker. Might as well just leave and let the two of them talk. "Where are we going?" We both jumped, as Jen stood in the doorway, her arms crossed. Star had a hand over her heart. "Jesus Jen. Stop sneaking up on me like that" She only rolled her eyes, smirking slightly "You could have just told me to not come back... I could halve you two alone if you'd like..." We called out at the same time "NO!" Jen laughed out loud, wiping a fake tear from under her eye "Yo two are fun to tease. Anyway, where are we going?" I sighed, before explaining the news I got from Jin to her. She suddenly looked eager, "Is Hoseok going?" Star rolled her eyes. I must be missing something out on some inside joke, because Star answered "Yes, your precious Hoseok is going" Jen clapped her hands excitedly. "So Jen likes Hoseok?" Jin called out over the phone. We forgot he was even there.
Jens face palled. Star waved her off "It's okay. Jin won't tell. Won't you Jin?" My friend only scoffed on the other end "No way. Plus, I already knew you liked him." Wow, I must be blind to have not figured this out already. I suddenly remembered that time he had called her hot on the first day they sat with us.
"Anyway, ya'll going or not?" Jin asked impatiently. Star shrugged "What have we got to lose? Plus, it will give Jen some time to finally ask him out" Jen suddenly threw a pillow at Star, with me dodging it by an inch. Uh oh, I'm in the line of fire. "I don't want to know what just happened, but i'll take it as a yes. Anyway, Iv'e got to go, jungkook has Tae in a headlock" I heard distant yelling in the background.Jin called out "I'm going to count to three, and I swear to god if ya'll asses ain't-" Than the phone went silent, as he had suddenly hung up. Welp. I guess we are going to an amusement park tomorrow. Great.
