Fear Me P.JM

🌼"1 Day left until show time"🌼

🌼

I'm nearly through the school gates when I hear my name.

"Kito!"

I turn around recognizing the voice.

"Jb!" I say walking to him. "I went to your house this morning! Your parents said you left already!"

Jb smiles. "Yeah, well, I had to pick someone up. She wanted to see you..."

Suyeon pops out from around the corner. "Hello, Nikito."

"Ah, hi."

Suyeon grabs my hands. "I heard from Jb about you taking down that man who was trying to take my picture!"

I look up at Jb. He shrugs.

"Oh?" I say.

Suyeon pulls my hands together so she's holding them up.

"I just wanted to thank you so much! I didn't know you were such a good person!"

Do I exude some sort of serial murderer type of aura? I look up at Jb. He shrugs again and grins.

"And now I hear you are going to the gala because of Jimin!"

Jb looks at me. "What?" he says. "You're going, too?"

"How did you get an invitation!?" I say.

Jb points at Suyeon. "I'm her date."

"But I thought there was a committee and—"

"Oh," Suyeon says with a light laugh. "I sent them a picture of Jb and they immediately mailed me a ticket."

Okay, I know the road of anyone's life is tough...but seriously, why are mine filled with potholes and beautiful people?

"I really want to help you!" Suyeon says. "Any way I can!"

Suyeon is still holding onto my hands. I wish she would let go. Her hands are so smooth I feel like I'm chaffing her.

"Um, Suyeon..."

"Please call me Su!"

I freeze. Really? I can call you Su?

"You should come over and I'll let you borrow any dress you want!"

Really!?

"We have a seamstress ready to change the sizes, too!"

I look at the model-thin girl before me.

Thanks.

I'm going to go eat a donut now.

BECAUSE I CAN!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

"Nikito?" Suyeon asks.

"Huh?" I say. "Oh, thanks a lot—I'd really like that."

Jb nudges Su. "Don't worry, she does that a lot."

"You are a strange little one," Su says, her eyes wide.

And you were probably some goddess in another life.

"So, you'll come over after school today?" Su says finally letting go of my hands.

"Ah, I have detention."

"Why?" Jb asks.

"Oh," I say waving my hand, "just you know..."

Su shakes her head. "No?"

I lift both my hands and just wave them around. "Just a bunch of this and that, mishaps, and crazy fun..."

"Excuse me?" Su says.

Jb shakes his head. "Just let her be, Su."

"Ah," Su says nodding. "Then after detention?"

"Yes!"

"Alright then! Bye!" Su says.

"When is Jimin picking you up?" Jb asks.

We step into the school and stop. A huge banner spanning at least twenty feet in length hangs over the side of the main building. Jimin is pictured. And he's smiling. And I recognize that smile. It's the smile he gave me after I confessed to him.

Seriously, those girls are stalkers.

But the thing is... I'm not afraid.

I'm completely fine.
