Chapter 4

The class has finished and Felix was still waiting outside the classroom for Chan to arrive. Everyone else has leftover ten minutes ago but there was still no sign of Chan. The hallway was quiet and deserted, the odd person walking past but no one Felix knew.

Felix didn't know practically anyone here since he was from a different country and it's his first day here.

Felix began to feel anxious as he stood like a meerkat, continuously peering down either side of the hallway. He eyes wavering from the space around, to his phone as he wondered if he should call Chan or not.

Hearing a group of footsteps coming Felix stands up from leaning against the wall. He watches eagerly to see who's coming. Only, to be quickly disappointed as it's just another group of student who will most likely pay no attention to him. Felix wants to ask them if they have seen Chan but he can't even communicate properly so it's useless.

Resting back on the wall he looks up at the ceiling, closing his eyes so he's not looking directly into the light and damaging his eyes. Somehow not directly looking at the light reminded of some events that happened at home before he left.

His dad did not approve of him and wasn't hesitating to ship his "son" off. The grabbing of the table lamp from beside his chair in the living room, the swift movement that sent it flying across Felix's face. The screaming of his mother telling his father to stop. The memories were making Felix feel sick when he was suddenly brought out of his daze by a stinging pain from someone flicking him on the forehead.

Opening his eyes he sees Chan standing there with the stupidest grin in his face. Like those kids who have done something naughty and know it but pretend as of nothing happened.

"Took your time." Felix picks his backpack up from the floor and swings it over his right shoulder.

"Sorry, I and Changbin may have skipped class and got a scolding from a teacher passing by." Chan played it off cool but knew Felix was about to go off on one in any moment.

"You skipped class." Felix already sounded like a complete overprotective parent when he said that.

"Yes," Chan answers straight forward.

"The very first class," Felix rubs his temples as he tries to understand. "On the very first day."

"Not just him also me." Changbin came to stand around from behind Chan with an almost offended tone.

Felix looked at Changbin, biting his lip, he didn't want to laugh, he didn't, but he couldn't help it. Felix folded over laughing. He had no clue that Changbin with standing behind Chan and the way he moved out from behind the other had him in an uncontrollable laugh.

"What you laughing at?" Chan supported Felix on his shoulder who was stuck in a laughing fit. Forgetting that he was about to have a go at Chan for skipping class.

"Let's just go get something to eat he'll be fine by then... maybe." Changbin began to walk back the way he and Chan bad come.

They started making their way to the cafeteria. When Felix noticed an off and disgusting smell. "You two were smoking?" Felix pushed himself off of Chan and walked ahead.

"Sorry, but you know it helps to calm my nerves down." Chan tried to reassure Felix.

Felix doesn't like the smell of cigarette smoke and tried his best to stay away from it. "Please tell me you are never going to make our dorm smell of that." Felix eyes were watery but were trying to hold them back along with the memories.

"I promise after we get some food I'll go shower and get rid of the smell. Okay?" Chan could see Felix's eyes and he knew of all the things that happened back home.

Changbin however, didn't know for obvious reason. He had never met Felix before today and Chan never told him for Felix's sake. So he just stood back making sure Felix didn't smell it on him too.

Felix was walking head, he looked up to push the tears back when he was sent flying to the fall. He groaned in the pain.

"For fuck sake, do people not know how to walk toda-" When seeing who it was Hyunjin quickly knelt to help pull Felix back up. "Sorry, I didn't realise it was you. Are you okay?" Hyunjin brushed the dust off Felix.

Changbin and Chan stood back confused to what was going on along with Seungmin behind Hyunjin. However, Minho already knew and saw that Hyunjins plan was going into action quite quickly.

"I-I'm fine." Felix was fine physically but mentally not so much.

"Well since you're fine I'll leave first." Hyunjin gave a smile to Felix but he faced turned sour when he saw Changbin, he even nudged his arm into Changbin and he walked away. Seungmin and Minho following after.

"What was that?" Chan asked Felix Felix grabbing him by the shoulders.

"He is in the dance class and he helped me out a bit. Why?" Felix answered honestly seeing Chan was not happy.

Chan took a deep breath before speaking again, "You should keep your distance from him. He is not a nice person. Do you remember this morning?"

"Yeah, I know that was him but," Felix looked away while he said the last part, "I want to make friends."

Chan looked at Changbin, both knowing what they need to do. "You can make friends but just not with that homophobic ass wipe!" Chan's words were firm and strong, sounding like the command they were meant to be.

"Okie." Felix gave a forced smile he was too mentally tired to listen to what Chan just said. "I'm not feeling hungry any more and I'm all sweaty from dancing so I'll head back to the dorm and see you later." Felix walked before either of the others could reply. He just wanted to be alone right now.
