Love with an Alien

Chp. 38 Lost My Way

Sooyoon's POV

I sat at a table by myself in the cold detention room. The teacher, Mr. Ko, had just finished assigning paperwork that we are supposed to finish by the time we are finished with detention. I don't understand.. Is it just me or does every girl in this school genuinely hate me? I sighed and rest my head in the palms of my hands, glancing back and forth between the ticking clock and the door. Mr. Ko had his feet propped on his desk with his hands clasped in his lap and an open book on his face. I looked around the cold classroom, scanning all of the different faces.

A boy with jet black hair and a scar on his brow sat in the back. His nose, lips, and ears were pierced. His white button up wasn't buttoned all the way, the school tie was loosely hanging around his pale neck while the rolled up sleeves revealed the tattoos on his arms and the back of his hands. His long legs stretched from underneath the desk. His arms were crossed in front of his chest and his eyes were shut. If it wasn't clear enough, he's the baddest of the bad boys in our school. Leader of his posse, heart breaker, you name it. 

A couple of desks in front of him sat another boy, but his appearance was the complete opposite. His clothes were disheveled, his hair looked as if he had just gotten out of bed and a black eye. He might've gotten into a fight that he couldn't handle. He sat in his desk and scribbled onto his worksheets vigorously. He glances over his shoulder at the dark haired boy and mutters under his breath while narrowing his brows. As if on cue, the boy in the back opened his eyes and glared back at him, making him shudder and turn back around.

Next to me sat a girl with bright red hair that was tied into high pig tails. She props her arms on the desk and cups her face in the palms of her hands as she obnoxiously smacked and blew bubbles with her gum. I sighed and rubbed my face. I had already finished today's work, there's nothing else to do and I have to sit here, listening to chewing, popping and the sound of wild writing. 

The bell that rang to end lunch was a signal for us delinquents to clean up the lunch room. The loud noise over the intercom shook the detention teacher awake, making the book on his face to slip and fall to the floor. He quickly stood up and cleared his throat.

Mr. Ko: Alright, kids. Get in a single filed line and make your way towards the janitor's closet. You can choose between a rag, a broom  or a mop. There's plenty for everyone.

The girl with red hair groaned.

Girl: Isn't that the janitor's job, though?

The boy with the messy hair scoffed and rolled his eyes while mumbling.

Boy: Why, are you scared that you might break a nail or something? Girls are stupid.

The girl's eyes shot up at him as she glared at the boy.

Girl: Call me stupid again and see what happens to your other eye, dweeb.

Mr. Ko: Seoyun!! Chanwoo!!! Knock it off! 

The tall tattooed boy chuckles at the three.

Tattooed boy: All three of you are so annoying. Chanwoo, you're lucky that I didn't snap your jaw in half. And Seoyun, for mankind's sake, could you not speak? Your voice is literally making my ears bleed. If you really want to be loud, you can always meet me at my place or a motel.

Seoyun blushes and furrows her brows at his confusing insult as Chanwoo flinches at the boy's gruesome threat. I cringed at both insults and looked down at my feet. Definitely a "bad boy" kind of guy... Would people consider him as a fuck boy as well?? Ugh..

Mr. Ko: Hyuntae! You better shut it or else I'm going to keep you in detention longer!

We approached the janitor's closet with the custodian standing next to the opened door. Chanwoo and I stopped in front of the closet and looked inside of it, examining which items we wanted to use. I quickly grabbed a rag and disinfecting spray bottles while Chanwoo took the broom, leaving two mops behind. Hyuntae and Seoyun stared at the mops.
