i woke up. i turned on my phone and saw it was monday, 7:16 on a monday. i jumped out of bed and brushed my teeth as fast as i could. i flew down the stairs and ate breakfast quickly.
"hurry up, honey. you wouldn't want to be late for school on your first day!"
"i know mom, i'm trying!" i said, while stuffing my face with toast.
after eating breakfast, i went up to my room again to comb my hair and put on my uniform.
i grabbed my bag, and off i went.
i ran to catch the bus that probably left without me already.
i could see that the bus was still there, so i sprinted and sprinted towards the bus stop.
i was only two seconds away of catching the bus. if only the driver wasn't always so mean...
"hey...! wait for me..!"
i heard a voice from the distance, but i wasn't able to concentrate on it, since i was busy catching my breath.
soon enough, i felt another person beside me.
"god dammit..! the driver never waits for me..!"
it was a guy's voice. he also missed the bus, huh?
"oh.. you missed it too?"
"u-um... i did.." i said, obviously nervous.
i turned to look at him. he was wearing the same uniform as me.!
"you go to seoul academy too?" i asked shyly.
"huh? oh.. yeah, i do," he slightly smiled.
i unconsciously blushed. when, i noticed i did, i quickly turned my head so he wouldn't see.
i heard him chuckle at my action.
"which class do you go to?" he asked out of curiosity.
come on, don't stutter, don't stutter, don't stutter!
"t-two a"
god dammit
"oh! we go to the same class!" he smiled, "how weird... i can't remember seeing you..."
suddenly, we heard the bus coming.
"aand it's here!" he said while pointing at the bus and smiling.
"yeah." i smiled back.
we got in. it was empty. i got my phone out and checked the time.
7:40?! my eyes went wide.
"what's wrong?" he asked.
"o-oh.. i just realised how late it is.." i spoke in a small voice.
"you've never been late to school?"
"not really," i smiled slightly.
"well, i'm late sometimes. it isn't that big of a deal."
i sat down on a chair and he sat next to me.
you've just met him! calm down!
"you never told me your name.." he said.
"i'm yn.. y-you?"
stop stuttering!
"my name is jungkook, you can call me kookie if you want." he turned to look at me and asked," do you want me to call you anything in particular?"
"y-yn's fine"
i kept on blushing.
he chuckled," you're cute, you know?"
i became a full tomato.
the bus came to a stop. we had arrived.
he stood up and walked to the exit. i followed close behind.
we were about to enter the school, when i stopped walking. i didn't think he had noticed until he also stopped and turn around.
"everything okay?"
"y-yeah, it's just that.." i fixed my gaze on the floor.
"hm?" he came closer and lowered his head, so that he was making eye contact with me,"what is it?"
"i -im actually new here.. " i nervously giggled.
he stood up and lifted my chin up.
"that's okay, i can show you around if you want," he smiled at me.
i nodded.
"let's go in then"
he lead the way.
we entered the school. its so clean and beautiful!
"you said we're in the same class?"
i nodded.
"then that's perfect. we need to hurry up, though. its quite late"
after he said that, he grabbed my hand and started running towards the class.
my face was beyond crimson now.
we finally arrived.
he opened the door to the classroom.
"and that's the formula to calcu-"
everyone went silent and turned to look at us.
"mr jeon. you're late," said the teacher.
"sorry mr evans."
he let go of my hand and went to sit at his own seat. i could feel the glares of a few girls. i looked at the floor shyly.
"you must be our new student! please come stand in the middle of the class and present yourself!"
i quietly made my way to where he was pointing.
"u-uhm... my name is-"
i was cut off by some guy that yelled," speak louder we can't hear you!!"
after that, many laughed.
"s-sorry... my na-"
"louder!!" the same guy yelled again.
the laughing intensified.
"stop! she's trying to present herself but you won't let her speak! shut up and listen to what she has to say!"
it was jungkook.
everyone went silent.
i guess he's quite respected here.
"who is she, your new girlfriend?" the same guy who had interrupted me earlier yelled mockingly once again.
"yn, why don't you go sit next to sakura?" the teacher asked, trying to distract me from whatever was happening.
i nodded and silently walked towards the girl he pointed at.
what a great start of this new high school
