our treasure - ateez

three

first person; an min-ju

sigh. today is friday. which seems to be both good and bad news. the good news is that I only have to put up with being social for one more day and then I can hibernate over the weekend. the bad news is that today is probably going to have a lot of socialising as there are eight new boys joining our school. I am probably going to have to socialise. sigh.

after contemplating my existence in my bed for around half an hour I decide it would be best to get up and go see my brother, who is probably going to be half asleep. prime annoyance time. I peel my covers off my body and walk out of my bedroom, down the hall to the kitchen. my brother, an min-kyu, is tall and dare I say handsome because our good looks obviously run in the family. he also seems to have some weird ability to be good at everything which I personally am offended by. it seems that he got all the good genes. my parents didn't save me anything.

walking into the kitchen I smell eggs and bacon. I walk over to the breakfast bar and sit down on a high stool, hoping min-kyu would feed me before I died of hunger. ok maybe not, but thats what I feel like. min-kyu looked up at me from the breakfast that he was making. "hey juju, anything interesting happen last night while I was working?" he asks me. I mean obviously i'm not gonna tell him about saving a member of ateez, again. "nah, not really I was alone for a while so I did some exploring because my friends had other plans." I report to my brother who seems to be staring dreamily at the bacon? "ah, that's a shame" he replies.

after he has cooked the bacon and eggs he passes me a plate before sitting beside me on another stool. "hey, I heard that there are going to be like eight new boys at your school?" my brother speaks in-between eating his bacon. how does he know? weirdo. "yeah there are, and?" I ask quizzingly wondering what he could possibly say next.

"oh, just be careful you never know. they could be part of some sort of gang for all we know." he seems to be thinking. "don't worry" I begin, "it's not like I socialise much anyways, you have nothing to worry about." I finish then shove the rest of my breakfast down my throat and smile at my brother before going to get ready for the day of school ahead. 

[time skip]

I walk out of the apartment after saying goodbye to my brother and set off toward school in hopes of arriving before the new students. I plug my earphones into my phone and blast instagram by dean on full volume for the walk to school hoping that nobody will try to talk to me. 

as I arrive at the school I check my phone to see the time. 7:45am. almost an hour early. great. I walk through the school gates that seem to be always open and question what time the teachers  arrive, or if they just live in the school. I walk through the halls to my class to find that I am the first to arrive so I get everything ready at my desk before scrolling through my phone the pass the time.

after a while I notice that other people have started to arrive so I put away my phone and get out the text books that I need for the first lesson. maths. for some reason maths is the only subject that I understand which is confusing because maths is normally the only one that people don't understand.

I look up to find that my friends ji-heon and beom-gyu have arrived. I smile and wave at them as they find their seats. ji-heon next to me and beom-gyu in front of me. "have you guys realised that if there are eight new students joining us then they can't all be in this class." beom-gyu states as he looks at the four empty seats dotted around the classroom. one of them being directly behind me. 

"obviously they wouldn't all be in the same class," ji-heon says, rolling her eyes "there are obviously going to be some smarter than others." she looks towards the front of the class where the teacher has just walked in. finally. if I had to listen to my friends talking about the new boys any longer I would happily shove pencils into my ears.
