His First Love

Chapter Two

"Grandma, guess what?"

"What? What happened?"

She brushes my hair with her fingers as I let out the good news.

"I officially got a job last night!"

"Oh that's so wonderful! What did you end up going with?"

"It's not much, but I have the job of cleaning at a barbecue restaurant."

"That's just enough, dear! That should definitely help us be able to stay at this apartment."

She gives me a peck on the cheek before starting to shove me to the door...

"Now go to your fancy school."

"Aright aright, love you."

"Love you too, angel."

She continues to push on my back until my feet are in the hallway.

I run down the stairs, actually feeling excited for what this day will bring...

"Aah!"

I must be too excited though, because I lost track of where the steps were beneath my feet and tripped.

My ankle twists, making me crash on my knees at the bottom.

"Ouch.."

It takes me a moment to feel good enough to stand up again...

After taking the first step towards the door, my ankle stings...

"Aish!"

I lean against the wall quickly as I try to recover from the stinging.

"This is going to be fun going to school like this.."

I go straight to my locker without looking or listening to anyone around me. I'm way too close to being late.

After taking my books out of my locker, I hear the bell ring and notice no one else is in the halls anymore.

Crap! I'm that late?!

I slam my locker and dash for math class as well as I can.

When I enter, the music teacher gives me the side eye...

"Please take your seat, miss Leera."

He hands me a slip, so I quickly snatch it before taking a bow...

"Yes sir, I'm so sorry.."

Without another word, I limp through the desks to get to my own.

I trip suddenly and land on my hands and knees though...

I hear Taehyung shouting shortly after...
