Something Special

7

I woke up with my iPhone in my hand. It was probably fake for all I knew but I wasn't one to argue. After what had happened, I felt different. Not just in any way. Something inside changed. I didn't feel like wearing the clothes I did yesterday, so I took a shower and rushed through my closet. I knew that I was going to wear the killer boots I had bought at the mall and paired it with a leather jacket, a black shirt and diy ripped jeans.

I left my hair out for the second time and ran my fingers through it. All I needed now was a bag. That pink rucksack would wrecked the outfit so I sneaked into my parents room and took my Mum's best hand bag. I grabbed the first one, I heard my Mum waking up.

Kate Spade, not bad. I legged it out of the room, grabbed a handful of grapes and headed to the front door, but I stopped and turned around. I had forgotten about my iPhone, I grabbed it and I felt ready to take on this new, rich school.

I took off all my metal objects, including the necklace, without hesitation. I walked through the metal detector as the lady started handing back my items. She handed me the necklace, but, I didn't take it, I was over this, over Tom, I didn't feel guilty anymore. I walked into home room and I wasn't met with laughter. Instead, the first thing I heard was a wolf whistle. I looked in the direction which it came from, and none other than Jimin was staring me down. I looked at him with a look that said, 'really, get a life' and he put his hands up by him ears. This made me smile for some odd reason. I sat down and took out my phone from my bag as the teacher said that we could have free time. I started to pretend that I was texting someone, even though I have no numbers on my SIM. This caught Jimin's attention, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Jimin get his phone out of his pocket and he approached me. He didn't even say good morning, he just asked, "Hey baby, can I get your number." The way he said it almost tempted me to say sure, but I chose to play with him. I turned to face him, but what I didn't realise is that he was closer than I thought. Our faces were now half an inch apart, I gulped, but moved forward. I felt his warm breath pass my lips, this gave me goosebumps. I slowly said, "In. Your. Wildest. Dreams. Baby." I then took my hand and put it in his cheek and pushed his head side ways. I saw his Adam's apple and he looked so manly. Our moment of sorts were broken by people oohing and aahring. Comments flew around the classroom, saying, "Ahh, Jimin just got played!" And " He just got told." He bit his lip in slight embarrassment but mostly just to keep his playboy looks authentic. He looked so gorgeous. Wait, am I hearing myself, ewww. He still hasn't moved from my desk so I called his name and waved, with ring and index finger touching my palm. He sat down just as the bell rang, we all went to our lessons. 

I had science, I made my way to my seat, but stopped abruptly, as I saw Jennie in my seat. I walked over and started at her. My two hands were now fists, but I opted for the calmer option. "Oh, hi Jennie, only pretty people are allowed to sit here and this is my seat, so you need to move." I said this with an annoying smile on purpose, just to provoke her. She tried to say something, but I cut her off and said, "And what are you doing here, I mean this class is for smart people, so why are you here?" The teacher hadn't arrived yet, so this squabble could go on for a long time. She seemed like she wanted to reply so I let her. "If you must know, I moved up classes and my seat is always reserved at the back." She started to touch Jimin's shirt, near his chest, then she said, "I always sit next to the pretty boys." This made me feel sick. Partly because she had just broken up with one of Jimin's closest friends and also because I thought Jimin was flirting with me, until I remembered, he's a playboy. But soon, the teacher walked in, just when I was about to hit Jennie's ugly face.(FYI not the Jennie from Blackpink, same with the others, just needed name inspiration) He was already 10 minutes late so he expected everyone in their seats. So he looked at me. "Why are you not in your seat, Y/N?" He said it in a stern voice, he thinks he can scare me. "I'm not in my seat because a pig has currently occupied it, sir." This made everybody laugh, I even saw sir laugh, just a little. He looked at Jennie who was making a face as if she was going to cry and then he looked at me. I was waiting with my arms crossed. "Jennie, move." In my head I was celebrating. She tried to argue back, but that just led to her being seated at the front. We all got our books out and wrote the date and title. Jimin smirked at me, making me confused. I whispered to him, "What are you looking at." He scoffed and then replied with, "You." Whilst biting his bottom lip. This made me blush and I whacked his arm in embarrassment. We both couldn't stop giggling for some reason, there wasn't even anything to laugh at. But I stopped laugh when my eyes locked with Jimin's. His innocent smile made me melt. 

He started to move closer, he put his hand near mine, so our finger tips were touching. I started to move, inching back slowly. No matter how far I went, he kept on moving towards me. If I moved back and further, I would fall off my seat, so I froze. By now, Jimin's attention was soley on me, his eyes locked onto mine, his cheeks were a burning crimson, our hands were no longer just meeting at the finger tips, his delicate hand was now covering mine. He was about to hold my back to pull me in closer, to touch me, but the teacher shouted my name. We snapped back into our original positions, looking down at our books, pens in hand. My face was bright red, what had just happened? The teacher yelled my name once again, but this time asking me a question. I looked at the board and, by my luck, it was somthing I had already covered in my old school. I answered correctly and sir nodded, in surprise. I tucked my hair behind my ear, and carried on writing, Jimin and I didn't make any means of communication with each other for the rest of the double lessons.

After recess, we had the same lessons together again, what's worse was that I had to sit next to him for every single one. I avoided eye contact but I could see him looking at me from the corner of my eye. He kept on smiling, making me feel awkward. Finally, the bell rang through the endless corridors, it was lunch. I met with my friends by the lockers, our meeting place, and they were all staring at me. "What?" I said, wondering why they were looking at me in such a sinister way. "Well," said Suyoung mysteriously, "A little bird told me what happened between you and Jimin in Science." I felt annoyed that he told his friends what he had done, but also relieved, now I can talk to them about it. We walked into the cafeteria and sat on the same table as yesterday. I started to tell them everything from the start. "Well, he asked for my number in home room." They all looked at me and started making kissing sounds. I jokingly hit them all, then Rihannon asked, "Wait, so you have a phone." I nodded and I exchanged numbers with everyone. I carried on speaking but I stopped & quickly hid my phone when I saw Jimin approach. I reached into my bag to get my lunch, but I couldn't find it. "Damn it!" I said under my breath. My anger was taken over by pain as Jimin dragged a chair across to our table, making a horrible screeching sound. I was still trying to avoid his gaze, this is so awkward. He looked around the table and asked, "No lunch?" I shook my head slowly, still looking down. He then reached into his back pack and pulled out a sandwich. He handed it to me and said in a soft voice, "Here, have this." I looked up, my lot were literally on the edge of their seats and the boys had taken a seat and were watching us like a movie. "Yah, what are you all looking at? Finish eating." This snapped everyone out of whatever trance they were in. They apologised and Jimin went to his table. He left the sandwich so I thought 'waste not, want not.' I took a bite and the girls were looking at me, Rosé then said, "She loves Jimin just as much as she loves the sandwich." She smiled. I kicked her under the table, which made her rub her shin, I then repeated my thoughts to all of them, waste not, want not.
