Hyunjin's POV

Beep! Beep! Beep! I heard my alarm clock blaring in my ears. Does this thing have to be the way of waking me up. I sat up and stared at the thing. Beep! Beep! Beep! "Oh my god, I have had enough of this piece of shit" I grabbed the alarm and threw it at the wall. It shattered into pieces and joined the other two on the floor.

I flopped back down on the bed and tried to fall back asleep, but my mom walked in. "Oh sweetheart are you not feeling okay, you can't stay home, you have a science exam." she said sweetly. "If you want I can drive you to school?" she offered. I thought about the time in 7th grade when she picked me up early while playing Twice's new album.

That was one of the most embarrassing moments ever. "Yeah, no, I don't mind taking the bus, go to work."

She looked kind of hurt and said, "Oh okay honey, have a great day." She walked out of my room. I laid back down. Then she came running back in. She said through a tough stare, "Hyunjin don't you dare fall back asleep you understand me." I shook my head and waved bye. She waved, then ran back out the house. I heard the front door shut and I went back to sleep.

I woke up to my phone ringing on my end table. I had a good feeling I knew who it was. I answered it without looking at the name. All I heard was a bunch of whining. So naturally I hung up. I got out of the bed and walked to my closet. I looked in the mirror. I was only wearing a regular white t-shirt with all black boxers. Couldn't be more comfortable. I grabbed a pair of jeans off the floor and smelt them. Hey, it's good enough for me. I went and took a shower. When I got back into my bedroom, I decided to update my instagram, because why not. I have over two million followers. To be honest it's kind of annoying with them messaging me all the time. But I just put my phone on silent.

Okay so I own a bunch of glasses, but I like contacts better. Especially these green ones they suit me. As soon as I posted the picture three-hundred thousand people liked it. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if some of them screenshot it.

I got up from the bed and took my bag off the back of the chair. Then I grabbed a pair of socks and my phone and walked into the living room.

I put my shoes on and walked out the house to see my mother sitting in her car glaring at me. "Mom before you get mad I can explain." I said wearily. "Save it for your teachers." and with that it was silent. She was pissed I could tell. Just as we pulled out of the driveway I get a text from Jeongin:

Jeongin: Hey, did you do the homework for Ms. Hamburger?

Okay so our english teachers name isn't actually Ms. Hamburger. Her real name is Ms. Hienburg. We started calling her that the second week of school when she brought four triple patty burgers to class and ate them right in front of us. So yeah..

Me: No, why?

Jeongin: Well you see...you know how my excuse for her class is that my dog ate my homework or some stupid crap like that?

Me: Yeah....where is this going?

Jeongin: My dog ACTUALLY ate it this time, and I need that grade or I am gonna fail.

Me: Your joking right?

Jeongin:  No! It's not my fault, it's that dumb beagles fault.

Me: Yeah yeah whatever you say, just talk to her about it, it's not gonna be that bad.

Jeongin: Okay, if you say so.

My mom pulled up to the school and practically kicked me out of the car. I walked up to the front office and waited in the line.

When it was my turn the receptionist asked for my ID. I handed it to her and she scanned it then handed to back.

She looked at me with googling eyes and said, "What your name sweety?"

"Hyunjin, Hwang Hyunjin." I said rudely.

"Okay have a fantastic day Mr. Hwang" she said with the biggest smile ever. I rolled my eyes and turned around.

I walked out of the office and headed to my locker. It was traffic hour and the halls were crowded and loud. I got to my locker and unlocked it to find a note inside. Next to me this blonde girl was giggling and I could already tell that it was from her. Yeah I guess you could say she was pretty, she was a cheerleader, but she wasn't my type. I don't understand how many times I have to tell these girls. I crumpled the paper into a ball with out reading it and shoved it in my pocket. I looked back up and the girl was starting to tear up, so I gave her a small wink then walked away.

I got into my second period, English Honors. "Hyunjin why are you late to school?" Ms. Hamburger said through gritted teeth.

"Oh uh...I slept in." I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to my desk and sat down. I sat next to this loud Australian, but he wasn't here today.

Jeongin walked in shortly after and the teacher asked for his homework. He looked at me then back the teacher. He told the teacher that his dog ate his homework for real this time, but she glared at him and practically yelled, "I have had enough of this, every single day you come in here and make some stupid excuse!"

Jeongin looked at her with puppy eyes and begged, "I am really sorry, please, please my grade depends on this."

She looked up at him and said, "Just for that I am going to give you an after school detention."

"But...but...." he was basically pleading at this point. Poor kid.

He went to his seat and gave me the, I told you, look. We went through half of the lecture before she realized that the annoying aussie wasn't there. "Where is Bangchan?" she said calmly. Ah, so that's his name.

"Hyunjin, do you know where your classmate is?"

I mocked his accent and said, "Sorry mate, he must've skipped this excuse for a class. He's probably in the potty." The whole class cracked up even Yoongi, who is infamous for his straight face. The rest of the time was just plain old boring and filled with dirty looks from Ms. Hamburger.

Once she dismissed the class I headed to my locker. I unlocked it and grabbed my Gym clothes and my lunch money. When I shut it, I saw someone a couple lockers down staring at me.
