Partners With The Badboy

Chapter 14

"You're an insane woman!"
"But did you die?"
"Nearly! Damn, Hannah."
"Oh please. Grow some balls, it was a soft handing."

It was 12 AM. Hannah and Sehun have been talking on the phone for over two hours.

Sehun had safely made it back home. Thankfully, he said, his parents weren't home. He would've had a difficult time explaining all the mud on him.

"Why?" He asked Hannah, just then, "Why didn't you want your aunt to see me?"

Hannah giggled. "She's just so touchy about boys. I mean, I can easily talk to her about the subject and she'll give me great advice, but when it comes to actually seeing the boy...she's just so...ugh."

"Oh. Okay, I think I understand now," Sehun laughed, "Girls are confusing, so I don't know."

Hannah was beginning to love Sehun's laugh more and more.

"Hey, Sehun," Hannah said, "You left your jacket and your notebooks and stuff here. Want me to give it to you at school tomorrow?"

"Yeah. You can sleep with my jacket, you know, so my scent reminds me of you. I won't judge."
"Ha! You wish, lover boy."
"Okay, this isn't The Hunger Games. Though, I would make a fantastic Peeta."

Now it was 12:48 AM. Hannah didn't want the conversation to end, but she was feeling tired and didn't want to fall asleep on Sehun.

"Sehun, I'm sleepy."
"Alright. I'm sleepy, too, actually."

There was a brief moment of silence between the two.

"Sehun?" Hannah said softly.

"Mhm?"
"I haven't said, 'I'm sleepy' to anyone, but my mother. Not like that...in that childish tone."

It was true. It was something only Hannah said to her mom; something only her mom playfully said back, just like Sehun had.

Sehun didn't reply for a moment. Then he said, "She's going to be alright, Hannah. She will."

Hannah smiled. "Yeah, I know." She yawned into her hand. "Okay, Sehun, I'm going to go to bed now, so good night."

"Good night." The smile was clearly heard in his voice.

The next morning was absolute hell for Hannah.

All her classes were boring, and she kept getting weird stares from the students.

"That's her."
"She's Sehun's-"
"I think they're dating-"
"I don't know what he's-"
"She made a mistake with him."

Hannah cringed. "She made a mistake with him."

Someone grabbed her arm, making her flinch. She heard the person before seeing her.

"Hannah! Come here! I need to talk to you!" Arlene hissed into her ear.

Hannah was happy to see someone who wanted to talk about their problems instead of her's.

Not that Sehun was a problem for Hannah.

Was he?

Arlene dragged Hannah into an empty hallway; she never let go of her iron grip on Hannah's arm.

"You've been hanging with Sehun," Arlene said simply, a hint of accusation in her voice.

"Never mind," Hannah grimaced.

She tried to cover her growing irritation. "He's not a bad person. At all. You just need to get to know him."

She paused to look at Arlene, only to find a confused expression on her face. This made Hannah explode.
