Daniel walked through the cafeteria, lunch tray in hand with Jiho following behind.

I transferred to escape from my old school.

He watched a kid that reminded him of himself at his old school being bullied.

And what I feel here was those guys like me were everywhere.

"That's Duke from the vocal department. I was just like him before I started eating with you." Jiho said with a wince as Duke was delivered another kick. "Bastards."

And we were destined to be at the bottom of the food chain.

It had just become easier for me because of my new physical body.

"Hey, Jiho." Daniel said, causing the smaller boy to look up at him. "Do you know him? Invite him over." He said with a smile.

The entire cafeteria watched in shock as Duke cake to sit with Daniel.

'T-that guy, why is he starting to hang out with all of the weirdos?'

'Is he up to something? Does he collect nerds?'

(Y/N) walked into the cafeteria, late as usual. When she saw her usual table that she and Duke sat at empty, she immediately began to look around.

When she did see Duke, he looked just as confused as she was. She narrowed her eyes and walked over, sitting across from her friend.

While Daniel was absolutely thrilled to have nearly all of his friends eating lunch together, others were growing suspicious.

Vin Jin silently watched as he listened to people whispering praises for Daniel.

"He's really nice."

"What a great guy."

"Taking care if the weak."

Then, a cup went flying through the air and hit the table in front of Duke, making him flinch.
(Y/N) froze.

"Hey Duke, get me some water." Vin Jin demander as he slumped back into his chair. He looked to Daniel and smirked. "So you're the new transfer? You're handsome and I like that. You smoke? Let's go have a cigarette. Even though I'm a bit hotter than you."

He startled when he saw Daniel glaring at him, but continued to tease. "Do you have a problem with me? What's with that look?"

When he saw Jay glaring at him as well, he was even more confused. 'What the hell? What's this dick looking at?'

"Hey, Vin Jin, get it yourself. Is your hand broken?" Zack asked. He paled when people started to whisper about how he hadn't been fighting much recently.

Mira gasped when she saw that Zack was not only sticking up for Duke, but not fighting as well.

"You wanna get fucking messed up? Cheeky bugger." Vin Jin snarled, standing up with his two followers behind him.

Zack stood up as well, "Can't you see anything with those glasses on? I bet you like stealing honey butter chips." He said, intimidating and confusing the others at the same time.

The cafeteria began to whisper about the brewing fight and Daniel, Jiho and Duke watched on nervously. (Y/N) had turned around to watch as well.

"Hey, black glasses. Pick up your cup." Vasco said as he walked by, other burn knuckle members glaring as they walked by as well.

Daniel let his jaw drop.

Vin Jin grit his teeth, "What? Are you trying to start something? Mind your own business."

"Didn't your mom tell you not to throw things on the floor?" Vasco asked.

"What? Get lost!"

"Guess I'll have to scold you. Take off your glasses."

Vin Jin's patience finally snapped, and he stood up, kicking over a chair. "UGH! Fuck this!" He began to walk towards Duke.

All of a sudden Daniel yelped "My apple!"

Vin Jin stopped when something hard hit the side of his head, and he turned to glare at where it come from.

A bitten apple rolled across the tiled floor.

(Y/N) was out of her seat and standing in front of Duke, her face impassive. "Get over yourself, would you?"

Vin Jin scowled, "Who the hell are you? Sit down, bitch."

(Y/N)'s eye twitched and she was about to speak again. Before she could, a shrill voice came from the cafeteria's entrance.

"(Y/N) (L/N)! To the principal's office NOW!"

She sighed and turned around to walk out. On her way out she patted Duke on the shoulder and whispered something before leaving.

As soon as she was outside do the cafeteria, girls began to fawn over the male students of the Fashion Department.

(Y/N), however, followed the fuming teacher of the Architecture Department down the hall with a pout on her face.

The man was mumbling to himself as she moped, and when they reached the main office's door he opened it for her.

She glared at him as she brushed past, and ignored the principal's cheery "Good afternoon, Miss (L/N)!"

She didn't respond and plopped herself down on the uncomfortable seats.

"Now, this is the first time you've been down here for a while, care to explain why?" He asked kindly, leaning forward and intertwining his hands on top of the desk.

Before she could answer, the teacher spoke up.

"She threatened to start a riot in the cafeteria. This disruptive behavior deserves a two week suspension."

The teacher quirked a brow, surprised to hear such behavior from a girl who is usually so quiet.

"I threw an apple at somebody's head." (Y/N) said plainly.

"Ah, so a food fight, not a riot." The principal hummed.

"A difficult to clean mess which disrupts other students and lead up to a riot within the student body." The teacher continued.

(Y/N) rolled her eyes. "Where's this energy for the bullies in your school?"

"It's put into students who disturb the student body as a whole." The teacher said smugly.

(Y/N) narrowed her eyes and the principal sighed.

"(Y/N), it's your first offense so-"

(Y/N) wasn't listening, and decided to give the teacher a piece of her mind.

"But what about the fight between Daniel Park and Zack Lee? The entire student body was there to watch that and cheer it on, nonetheless. Jay Hong beating three boys half to death in the restroom, And Lee Eun Tae is running a literal gang in the architecture department. And I'm the one being punished, for throwing an apple?"

The teacher gaped. "I-"

"Male students have been known to get away with much worse totally free. You only seem to punish students when it's convenient to you, and it just so happens that you give female students detention on a weekly basis.To me, this seems like predatory behavior. I refuse to stay after school with this teacher alone." (Y/N) finished with a huff and leaned back into her seat, crossing her arms.

The teacher was still struggling to speak, and the principal smiled calmly.

"Okay then, Miss (L/N). Then we'll give the students you named detention as well."

(Y/N) and the teacher both snapped their heads to look at the principal with wide eyes.

"What?"
