Once Tina stepped into the rain she knew instantly she wasn't walking back. She put her hood up and called San.
"Where are you? It's already dark!" he yelled.
She flinched, memories of her mother coming back, before she could stop herself she apologised.
"I'm sorry."
"Tina stop. I'm coming to get you don't move." he said, hanging up.
Great. Now she was stuck in the rain. Her hair was already soaked and the wind kept blowing the hood off. It got to a point where she didn't even bother.
When San eventually made it to her, she was shivering and jumped into the car, her teeth chattering.
She didn't say anything, feeling awkward after the talk she'd had with Lara, instead gazing out of the window seeing Lara in her room making a heart with her hands towards them. She rolled her eyes and waved.
San however, furrowed his brows.
"She believe the rumours? Is that what she's doing?"
"Calm down, she's alright, she's just.. saying goodbye." Tina quickly said, not wanting to reveal her not-there-but-also-totally-there feelings for him.
"Let's just go." she said, "I'm freezing."
He nodded and they drove home. When she go back she put on another hoodie and made herself a sandwich before going into the shower.
San couldn't help but feel Tina was off for the next day. She limited conversation and rarely stayed in the same room as him. He missed her company, her laugh, her smile, everything. But he would never say that obviously. Instead he just ignored the problem thinking it was because of the rumours going around.
The next day arrived and he was dreading going back to school. He almost didn't want to go but pushed himself anyway. He left earlier than Tina to avoid being seen. When he got to school, he silently crept to class only to see a huge crowd lurking around waiting for him and Tina. His heart stopped for a few seconds as he forgot how to breathe. Once he was breathing again he stoned himself and cleared his throat. Everyone turned to him and in a second he was surrounded. He glared at everyone completely ignoring their questions.
"Move." he said in a voice so cold everyone almost listened. Almost.
"Do you actually like Tina?" a girl asked, "She's so rubbish you shouldn't waste your time with her when there are so many better people out there." she flicked her hair and fluttered her eyelashes at him.
He curled his lip in disgust.
"Are you and Tina dating?"
"Why do you bother with her?"
"Is it all true?"
The questions came in one after the other until San couldn't take it anymore.
"Everybody move out of my way!" he yelled.
Everyone slowly moved giving him a clear path to the classroom. He went in and put his head in his arms in his seat worrying about how Tina would deal with it.
Tina was more than nervous, she was terrified. But she wouldn't show it. She was Lee Tina. She walked to school and saw the crowd. She bit her tongue lightly and started walking through it. Everyone's head turned and saw her. And she was surrounded.
As the same questions were directed to her she glanced at San through the window of the classroom. He was watching her, his gaze flicking to her every now and then. She pushed past everyone. Or at least tried to.
"How do you love San? You guys are meant to be enemies. Not lovers"
"I don't love him!" she snapped.
"What about the pictures?" they continued.
"The pictures are none of your business." she looked at the girl who was asking the questions, Lina. "What you should be worrying about is what your boyfriend - what was his name again? Hongjoong? The short one - yeah him. What he will think when he finds out you don't love him? You're just using him so you can get closer to San." she leant closer and said in a soft but cold whisper, "And you're doing a horrid job of it." Then she backed away and glared at everyone with a daring smirk, watching them back away as the girl broke into tears.
Then she waltzed into the classroom. She saw Lara sitting at the table. Lara jumped up and embraced her.
"You are a different person when you are at school." she observed.
"What can I say? You need a load of different personalities when you live a life like mine. I have my stupid obedient slave, I have my side that feels, I have my side that I just showed and the side no ones managed to get far enough to see yet." she shrugged.
"You have an obedient side?" Lara arched her brow.
"Yeah it's for... People. But I don't need to worry about them anymore, they're gone. For now."
She glanced at San signalling that Lara didn't know about her parents take. He nodded.
Just then the teacher walked in and sent everyone to their classes and begun hers.
-Aurora
