Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

XXXIIV

PAIGE;
I hopped out of Lucas' truck and winced once my feet hit the ground, I guess I should've stretched before I ran.

I ignored the small pain in my legs and walked with the boys to the entrance of the school. Lucas broke off with us once we entered the hallway.

"Bye guys" He said as we said the same and waved. Xavier and I continued walking while whining about another bleak morning.

We entered our first class of the day and I saw Kookie sitting at his desk in the front. It was too bad there were no more spots next to me.

"Morning guys" he greeted with a cute smile.

Why was he so cheery in the morning, is he even human?

"Morning" we smiled, we still had a few minutes till the bell so we talked.

I smiled, remembering the Saturday we spent together, it was fun. We went to the mall and hung out, we just talked a lot, something I loved to do with him.

He was a good listener and he responded well, he'd nod here and there but will always give me an honest reply.

We talked a bit more and the bell rang, School was starting.

—

It was lunch and my day was already off to a bad start.

This morning our government teacher walked around to collect our homework and I remembered I left mine on my desk since I worked on it last minute. It earned me an automatic zero in the grade book and made my grade go down a letter.

During my second hour math, we had a pop quiz where I had a brain fart and forgot everything I ever learned in that class and failed the hell out of it.

I figured third hour would be a little easy on me but nope, while I worked in the office I had to place papers into folders. But I accidentally dropped the pile and they all got mixed up so I had to separate them all over again.

I also lost my favorite rose gold glittery pen, why must the gods be so cruel to me to lose my lucky pen?

I sat at the table with my hood on and listened to music to calm my nerves.

Why was my day like this?

I thought it would be a good day. I mean I wore comfy clothes, it's supposed to be a good day.

I put my head in my shoulders and closed my eyes, I was pretty early to lunch so I was alone for now.

Please Rex Orange County, save me.

As I listened to his angelic voice, I didn't notice that the bell rang. I kept to myself a little longer as I felt the table shift a bit.

Then someone took out one of my earphones, I knew it was Xavier. He liked to do that.

"Hey Paige" they greeted as I groaned in response, I wanted to take a nap but I knew I couldn't.

"You okay?" Jungkook asked, I shook my head. I didn't want to be too dramatic but I wasn't feeling as good as I should be.

"What's wrong Swishy?" Xavier asked.

"Just tired" I answered, tired of a lot of things.

"You want to nap, does the baby need a nap?" Xavier asked in a baby voice. I lifted up my head and looked at him.

He smiled in victory that he at least got me to look at him, I rolled my eyes and put my head back between my hands.

"Hey Paige" It was Lucas. I looked up to him, he seemed happier than usual.

"Oh hey" I said, I wasn't expecting him to sit with us but he was friends with Jungkook.

They all exchanged hi's as I kept to myself, I just wanted this day to be over so I could go home and sleep.

Throughout the whole lunch period the boys talked and talked. I was happy that my boy's were getting along with each other.

The bell rang as the two boys left, I stayed at the table with Kook. I noticed as they all talked, he would glance at me from time to time.

"You ok?" He asked as I nodded and sighed.

"It's Monday, I'm just tired for the week already" I gave him a reassuring smile as he reluctantly nodded.

"Want to go to the library or to the woods so you can pull my pants down again?" He asked with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes and stood up from the lunch table and walked off. He chuckled and ran after me.

"This is going to be fun, I get to tease you on that now" he smiled and bumped into me.

I couldn't help but smile, even when he was just as annoying as my brothers and my best friend, I liked him a lot.

We entered the library, waving to Ms. Evans as we walked to our spot. This time we sat on the beanbags that were place against the wall.

I dropped my bag on the floor and sat on the beanbags, sighing in comfort. This was better than the lunch table.

Jungkook chuckled but followed after, I put my hood back on and laid my head back. It went silent, I could feel his eyes on me.

"Your'e stressed"

My breathing stopped, how could he tell and how did he know?

"No, I'm not" I said, when I clearly am.

"Yes, I can see it. You're usually cheery on Mondays even when it's school. I noticed your having a bad day, want to talk about it?" He asked.

I thought about it, if I tell him will my bad day cease to exist. It's like speaking your dreams and wants out loud and the earth does it's best to provide.

I lifted my head to the side and looked at him, "You sure you want to know about my day? It was pretty shitty"

He chuckled and nodded, "I want to help"

I sighed, I didn't want to relive it but since he wants to know I'll tell him everything.

I started with first hour then went on, I didn't want to tell him about my dreams/nightmares just yet.

He'd probably think I'm crazy if I tell him, but again...

Would he?
