I sighed. Today is the day! Monday, first day of the second week of school. Even though I knew that I was gonna be with Jimin, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Not even the first week of school has been completed, and I already have a detention? What happened to my innocent, straight A, perfect student self? As I looked up at the clock, I realized it was 7:25, five minutes before my bus arrived. Quickly running down the stairs, I swung my backpack over my shoulders and ran out the door.

On the bus, I sat alone. Again. Not that I should complain. At least I don't have to sit next to a stranger, I reminded myself. I put in my earbuds and started listening to some Kpop. My friends, especially Liam, love judging me about it but I try to play it cool. Fighting with Liam is one of the most irritating things I can think of.

As I walked through the gates, i realized that it was only 7:40, which means that i have to wait 20 minutes. I walked to the side of the walkway, staring down at my shoes. I try to avoid all eye contact. "Excuse me, are you Allison?" I looked up to find a boy. Was he talking? To me? I stared at him, wondering if he was mistaken. But if he wasn't talking to me, why would he say my name? Therefore, he must be talking to me, I reasoned. "Uh y-yes, i'm Allison. How may i help you?" He grinned at me, perfect white teeth showing.."Hello, i'm Park Jimin, your detention buddy for the week. I also heard that you were sitting with my group in Family and Consumer Science. I apologize for any trouble they may have caused." Of course! I guess Jimin got a haircut over the summer, but other than that, he looked pretty much the same. "N-no, your group is actually very nice to me. Uh..." I trailed off. Needless to say, i'm horrible at keeping up a conversation. Luckily, Patrick  and the rest of the Bangtan Boys came. "Well, there's my crew. See you later, Allison. And cheer up, will ya? You're prettier that way." And with that, he left.

I walked back from art class, which, by the way, i had with Rap Monster. We sat together and chatted. He was actually a really talented artist. i threw my pencil case into my locker and slammed it. I walked over to Nolan's locker, feeling like a loner again. "Hey Allison! Don't you have a lunch detention?" Nolan! He was finally here. "Yeah... I do. i walked into class a little late... like maybe five minutes?" He laughed. Why was having  a conversation with Nolan so easy? We walked together to the lunch line, catching up on what we did over the summer.

He dropped me off in front of the FACS room. "I guess we'll be doing this all week,huh?" he sighed. I smiled. "It's ok. It's only for a week." We parted, and i walked in. "Allison! I've been waiting for you! I thought you abandoned me." Jimin walked up to me, grinning like a maniac. I giggled. "Jimin, if you knew me, you would know that i try not to break rules." He pulled out a chair for me, and placed my tray on the table. I noticed that he had already finished his food. As I ate, he watched me. Although i liked him, this was kinda creepy. He eventually asked, "Can i eat your fries?" i nodded pushing my fries and ketchup towards him. He gratefully started eating. "Umm... can I eat the other half of your sandwhich?"I nodded again, pushing whats left of my sandwhich towards him. I could feel the awkward silence starting to creep in. I guess he felt it, too, because he started asking me quetions. What was your favorite color? Blue. Are you chinese? Yup. Do you like asian things? Of course. Have I ever heard of Kpop? It's my favorite thing in the world. Do i like rap? Usually. And time flied. I asked quetions, too. He was A LOT nicer than i expected. In fact, i think i made a good impression. 

The bell rang and Jimin stood up. "Do you want me to take your tray?' he asked. I shook my head. "i have to head to the cafeteria anyway. My friend is waiting." He frowned a little. " Well, i guess i'll go with you." We left our trays on the counter. i turned around and saw Nolan waiting outside. He waved and i waved back."I'll be going now. It was fun, Jimin. Same thing tomorrow?" He nodded and came up close to me. "Don't miss school okay?" He turned and left.
