love of my life

School

The next day, I arrived to class 5 minutes late as usual. I walked into my class and didn't even try to sit down, already knowing what was coming.

"Maria, Jacob's office, now."

It was no use arguing with Mr. Brown. He was known for being the toughest, strictest teacher in the entire school, and of course, I had him first period every day. What a great way to start the day. I walked out of the class and went down the hall to the Student Counselor's office, Mr. Jacob. I knocked on the door and walked in, not waiting for an answer.

"Jacooooob, it's me."

"Maria! What a fun surprise. Well, an actual surprise would be to not see you here every morning but I always enjoy your company."

"Oh, I feel hurt. I look forward to seeing you every morning! If I didn't I wouldn't purposefully arrive late every morning!"

Mr. Jacob handed me my purple pass and looked at me in the eyes when he said,

"I really hope you're joking, Maria. You're a great student but one more tardy and I'll have to give you detention."

I took the pass from him and walked out of the office before yelling over my shoulder,

"See you tomorrow Jacob!"

I left with the sound of laughter coming from the office. What Jacob didn't know was I actually got here on time every morning, I would just purposefully wait 5 minutes before entering the class in order to be sent to his office. Why would I risk my transcript for 5 extra minutes out of class, you ask? Easy. Because of Jimin. Every morning he would arrive 7 minutes late, so when he was sent to Jacob's office I would always meet him in the hallway and he would sometimes smile at me. Probably a polite smile but a smile nonetheless. 

I walked out into the hallways and could already see someone walking from the other end. I continued walking and lightly made sure that my hair was nice. I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket so I stopped to take it out and check the message. It was from Emma.

*So dude what are you gonna be for Halloween??????*

Damn this girl was super clingy.

*I think I'm gonna be a chef. Like top hat, apron, the whole shebang wbu?* 

*Ohh okay cool I really like that idea. And I'm not telling you its a surprise. Don't worry though you'll like it :)* 

*Ok lol do whatever u want I don't need to like it. Also, my mom wants u to make those chocolate muffins again*

I was watching the three bubbles indicating that Emma was typing when I suddenly heard the distinct sound of someone clearing their throat in front of me. I looked up from my phone to see Jimin standing right in front of me.

"Um hey"

I stared at him starstruck. Was he talking to me? Did he just say hi to me? Why would this god be talking to me? And why was he waving his hand in front of my face? Oh fuck. Say something cool, something interesting, someth-

"Hi"

What a great fucking response Maria. Real stellar work there.

"Can I walk past you? I need to go into Jacob's office"

Oh great. I'm in the way. Of course, he wouldn't talk to me I'm a loser with no life who spends her time reading BTS smut and isn't as cool as she thinks she is.

"Oh sorry let me get out of your way Jimin"

"You know my name?"

Oh, fucking hell. I can't tell him that I know his name, last name, family history, address, and class schedule. That would be creepy.

"Um yeah. I think Jacob mentioned it since we're both usually late."

Nice save Maria.

"Oh right. Well I'm gonna head in so... do you mind?"

I realized I was still standing in front of the entrance and quickly jumped out of the way, giving Jimin a captain salute before making my way down the hall. A captain salute. I'm a fucking disaster. My phone vibrated again in my pocket and I took it out to check the new messages from Emma.

*Oh my god yes I'll make the muffins again your mom is adorable.

Did you like them?

Hello?

Are you dead oh my god should I call 911*

Jesus, I can't go two minutes without this girl texting me 10 times. I typed out a quick response, confirming that I was still very much alive, though I wish I could die from the shame of talking to Jimin, and I headed off to class.
