the hooded boy ran out of the library and onto the basketball court, hiding under the tree. he gasped quickly as he held the area on his chest over his heart, breathing heavily.
that was close.
he sighed as he calmed his heart down. he patted his pockets and instantly paled when he couldn't find the polaroid.
oh no.
he groaned and looked back at the school.
don't tell me that it fell back in the library.
he walked to the school again, dread in his stomach. he didn't want to face gina again, not after he ran away from her. not wanting to lose the polaroid, though, he decided to walk back to the library and retrieve it again. he looked down and pulled his hoodie further down his face, not wanting anyone to see his face. as a result, he couldn't see where he was going and crashed into a girl. the girl yelped and fell backwards. he leaned forward and caught her quickly so she wouldn't fall and crash down to the ground. both of them locked eyes and he paled again.
oh come on, not her.
he pulled her up again and proceeded to walk away, but she called out to him.
"wait!"
he paused and slowly turned back to gina. she held up a polaroid, glancing inquiringly at him.
"this is yours, isn't it?"
he nodded and gently took it from her fingers. he pocketed the polaroid and immediately walked away, but then gina called out to him again.
"wait, what's your name?"
he turned back to gina, his heart racing.
"i-it's keonhee. lee keonhee."
