renjun got out of bed early today. it was the first day of school, and of course he had to look good for chenle. he wore a cute pastel blue shirt with a small embedded rose on the upper left area. he matched it with his blue jeans that his cousin, lucas gave him on his birthday. he wore his white converse, ate breakfast then left.

time check: 6:37 a.m.

school bus usually comes at 6:40 in renjun's neighborhood. he lives by chenle, but that rich boy has his own service. chenle once suggested to give renjun a ride but he refused. he didn't want to take advantage of his bestfriend.

finally, the bus had arrived. renjun sighed in relief. he thought he was gonna be late for first day. classes start at 7:30 that day and he still had to get his class cards.

renjun got in the bus, walking pass the noisy jocks and cheerleaders who were busy flirting with them. he sat at the back of the bus where nobody really occupies. it was usually just him and the kids who bring boardgames to school. but since the school changed their rules, no more toys are allowed to be brought to school.

renjun had sensitive ears. shouting irritates him but even if he talked to those jocks, they wouldn't listen to him because they don't know him. so instead of having a non receptive talk with those guys, he just puts on his earphones, listen to some calming jazz music.

the trip to school was pretty okay. renjun didn't even notice that na jaemin sat beside him. everyone knew jaemin. he played the flute in the marching band and he was the leader of soccer club the previous school year, but he resigned to be able to focus on his studies. he was really desperate to get in the star section even just this once.

"hi." the pink haired boy greets renjun. the chinese boy just looked at him, raising a brow. "i said hi."

instead of a greeting, all jaemin got was a look from renjun, and then got back to his jazz music. "just because you're the smartest kid in school, that doesn't mean you can ignore me like that." pissed, jaemin crosses his arms.

they had finally arrived in school. since renjun was small, he got past everyone quickly, while jaemin on the other hand, had a hard time getting through the crowd. he went back to his seat and waited for the students to empty the bus. that's when he noticed a wallet on one of the seats.

being the righteous person he is, jaemin picked it up, even tried to run after renjun. but to his dismay, he wasn't able to find him anywhere. the boy just decided to proceed to his classroom and look for the chinese boy during his break.

room 241. finally, na jaemin had found his classroom. he still had 10 minutes before class but he decided to spend it in the classroom and review for their upcoming topics. it was his first time to ever qualify for the star section. he's a jock, how would he find time to study? however, he made it, even his coach was surprised to see his grades go skyrocket.

he turns the knob, opening the door widely. for the girls, everything went slow motion as jaemin walked in. the boys on the other hand just rolled their eyes on the newly arrived boy.

"he's not just handsome, he's smart too omg!"

"i think jaemin and i are meant to be!"

"i'm never skipping school if that's the case!"

the room was immediately filled with talking and girls giggling. jaemin was too busy looking for a seat to even bother listening. his eyes spots an empty chair at the back of the class. it was between chaeyeon and..... renjun.
