My Savior

JENNIE

It is a good morning for me today . Not my usual mornings but there's something in me now that makes me excite to go to the university .

"Global warming is a term used for the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's and its related effects. Scientists are more than 95% certain that nearly all of global warming is caused by increasing concentrations of (GHGs) and other emissions." our professor said but somehow makes me bored .

I re-read what i wrote on my desk I was about to write something again when a fake cough disturbs me .

"don't tell me you're gonna continue that conversation between that food lover savior you have?' Irene sarcastically said emphasizing the word savior to me .

"yeah. or else you find him cute?" Wendy whispered but enough to hear it and the girls chuckles. I deep sigh and scratch the first letter I wrote on the desk and gave them a fine-i-give-up look.

LISA

I run the hallway quickly not because I am running late again for my evening class but because I am so excited for another message from Jennie . I quickly made my way to my chair and look for a new message but there is none . I look under the desk for a paper but still, none . I deeply sigh as I face palm my face when i remember that I exchange sit with my classmate .

"looking for something Lisa?' my chubby seatmate said. I shake my head .

It is Saturday afternoon and I spend my day with my grandma who have her work here inside a chapel every morning . I let her do it because she insist and she told me that it makes her at peace with her work . I am sitting now on one of the bench outside while reading a story book when my grandma sit beside me.

"child look ! I got my salary for a month now. Keep it! it's for your graduation!" I look at her and smile sadly and I saw her shoulder flop down .

"Is there something bothering you child?" she asked which I quickly respond.

"I-i am in love with someone granny and I can't see her anymore after graduation" I look down while fidgeting my fingers together . She lift my chin up and look directly to my eyes .

"try to talk to her and know her phone number and address" She smiles at me and I just shake my head.

"no granny .. we're different. She is rich and I'm not.. She will never noticed me" I let out a deep sigh and I saw her smile .

"you are a good looking human my child ! every girls you want to date with will surely say yes to you" I chuckle

"but seriously grandma, I am afraid that I will just lose her in the end"

"Ohh . I don't know what help I can give to you" she hugged me.

It's been a month since our exchanging conversations stop. Somehow I felt bad but it is my fault right? It is now our foundation night and everyone gathered around the school auditorium for a formal dinner night. All are wearing formal suits and formal dresses. Me and Jisoo invited Seulgi and make our way to our table. I don't know why but every girl giggles while eyeing us from head to toe. We decided to wear formal suits but not too manly. As we sitting and eating our foods, we are having fun watching the cheering group dancing for their performance. My eyes started to roam around to find a certain lady I am excitingly to stare and I saw her two tables away from us in front laughing with her friends but one pair of eyes from one of her friends caught my attention. In deep staring contest with no other than my friend Seulgi with a smirk on her face. I fake a cough to catch my friend's attention and I succeed.

" Don't tell me you are eye fucking Seulgi. You have a girlfriend right?" I elbowed her and she winced in pain.

"Man! That's my girl Irene!" She whispered but loud enough to hear" my eyes widen in shocked.

"You mean.. the one you sending poems?" I asked and she winks and gesture for a toast. I chuckled in disbelief and raise my goblet.

"Hey! Looking for someone?" I asked Jisoo who's busy on looking around the room.

"Have you seen Chaeyoung?" Me and Seulgi glanced at each other while making an "o" sound.

"What is that?" Jisoo ask us while smirking.

"There she is!" Seulgi point out at the door entrance.

"Where ???" Jisoo excitedly asked looking around .

"Hahahahaha! Got you bitch!" Seulgi laughing her ass out. I excuse myself to go at the washroom .

I bumped someone when she quickly wrap her hands around my waist and buried her face on my chest. My face heat up and I got shocked from the sudden interaction from a random girl . I look down cause my height is inches higher than her and I swear the hair and scent of this girl hugging me tight is from someone I knew ever since. My heart begins to pound and beat fast when her head starts to lift up to meet my gaze.

"Hey!" I got flinched and startled when she called me.

"I said look at the weird guy in red coat if he still right there. He keeps on bugging me and asking me for a dance please pretend that you are my date please.." she begged. I tilt my head to my back and saw the guy she was talking about who is now approaching us . I look back again to Jennie who is now trembling in fear.

"Hey" I called and she look at me in the eyes which is about to cry.

"I got this. Calm down okay?" She nodded and wipe her tears.

A hand tapping my right shoulder causes me to look back and saw the same nerdy guy who Jennie fears with.

I turn my body to meet him and Jennie still wraps around my waist and hides herself at my back.

"May I dance with Jennie?" The guy said.

"Ahm. My girl here said that you keeps bugging him sir" I calmly said.

"Your girl?" He smirks.

"I'm courting that girl for a year now. How about a single dance right baby?" He winked at Jennie that make my blood boil in anger while Jennie tighten her grip.

"Look man. I am humbly asking you to please stay away with my girlfriend here. You're scaring her" He closed our gap and towering me with his eyes furing.

"please stay away from me!" Jennie shouted from behind. We are in the hallway meters away from the program near the restroom so only few people roams around.

"Do not let me repeat here dude! Let me dance with her" He said.

I hold Jennie's hands on my waist and pull it away from me. I look at her and whispered.

"Jen. You can leave this place now. I can handle this" she shake her head.

"Please tell Irene to bring Seulgi and Jisoo here" she is about to complain

"Trust me" but nods in return and run away. The guy was about to run after her when I quickly grab his wrist to stop him.

"I said back off!" I shouted but he pull his hands off me and punch me on the face. I tasted rust from my lips. I stood up from the ground and before he say something, I punch back at him and when lays on the ground, I sat on top of him and holds his collar tight.

"When I told you to back off, don't let me repeat myself man!" I punched him again. A pull from Seulgi stops me from what I am doing and I saw Jisoo and Irene pulling the need guy from me.

"This is just a start asshole" I just smirked for an answer and he left while wiping a blood on his lips.

I touch my own lips and saw blood still on it. I got flinched when another finger touch it and saw Jennie in front of me.

"Let me clean this" she said. I shake my head.

"It's just a small cut. I can manage" I smile.

"Please.." she pouted and I chuckle.
