I'm going to introduce you to this boy I met in my math class. He's so cute, I think I have a crush on him! My friend Cassie says with excitement as she pulls my arm and drags me to the direction where her new "friend" is possibly at. The bell just rang signaling that it was time for recess and I have just met up with her at our "spot" that we assigned to meet this morning before heading to our first period classes.

"It's our first day of 6th grade and you already found yourself another boy to drool over" I say with annoyance and she continues to drag me.

"Abrielle! That is not true. This boy is different, he's super sweet and he's not one of those boys where I have a one week phase of liking them and move on to the next type of thing. Besides you wouldn't know the feeling, you never liked anyone."

Not true. I thought to myself. I had a crush once on this boy back in 4th grade until I overheard him talking to one of his friends saying that he only likes "pretty skinny girls". Not only was that a big pang to my heart but it made my insecurity higher knowing that I'll never be anyone's "ideal type or crush" just by looking at the way I'm shaped. So till that day I haven't really paid much attention to the whole "crush" or "liking" phases that everyone experiences. Sometimes it would happen but before it gets too deep I stop and remind myself that they'll never like me back. My friends never knew about it though, they always thought that I was never just interested in the whole liking someone phase yet.

All of my friends had great body figures. They were all skinny and pretty. Whereas for me I'm not either of those. My body was not skinny I was more on the chunky side compared to my friends. They always told me I was pretty but so did my family, maybe because they love me too much so they had to lie to me to make me feel better. But other than that I'm still insecure.

Everyone in my friend group was assigned with a certain sport. My friend Cassie and her twin Kristy they're both cheerleaders in an elite cheer team. But for me? Nothing. All I know that I can do is play the piano. Boring right? Which probably explains why I'm not fit.

"Ahhhh there he is Abrielle!" Cassie says with excitement as she squeezes my arm once more then letting go as we reached the basketball court where a tree and a red bench was placed outside of it. There were three boys sitting on that bench two of them were facing the basketball court while the other one was faced towards us wandering his eyes around until he saw us.

"Sup Cassie" the boy that I'm assuming Cassie has a crush on says as we walk towards them while Cassie beams him with a cheeky smile in return.

"This is Abrielle" she pulls me in to her side as I stood there with an awkward smile. "She's one of my best friends" she says as she nudges me forcefully as a signal to introduce myself making me roll my eyes in annoyance.

"Hi I'm Abrielle, like she said. Abrielle Cenvera Kim" I said through gritted teeth as I smile forcefully.

"I'm Taehyung, Kim Taehyung. But you can call me Tae for short" he says as he gives me a boxy smile. He was tall, not too skinny and not too chubby. He was just the right size for our age group. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes, a nice smile, and slender long fingers with a silver bracelet around his wrist. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans with white vans. He pulls two of his other friends who's backs were faced against and made them stand up next to him. Once they were in view by each his side as he introduces them to us also.

"This is Park jimin, Jimin this is Abrielle and Cassie." he says nudging the guy to his right. As he gives an eye smile and a small wave to the both of us. He had cute chubby cheeks almost resembling a mochi. And was a little chunky too like me. He was a little shorter compared to Tae and the other boy that stood next to them. But they complemented each other well. He had dark black hair, brown eyes, his fingers were tiny and a little chubby, but he was still good looking no lies there. He was wearing a black shirt with grey Nike basketball shorts and black slip on vans.

"This one is Jeon Jungkook" he introduces us to the other boy on his left. He gave a cute bunny like smile and a small wave also. He was a bit more scrawny compared to Jimin and Tae. He had dark black hair, big brown eyes, and cupid bow shaped lips. He was wearing black nike shorts and a white t-shirt with a pair of white converse chucks.

"Nice to-"
"Nice to meet you two" Cassie says cutting me off as I was about to say the same thing.
"Yeah nice to meet you all" I say giving them an eye smile.

"THERE YOU GUYS ARE!!!" A familiar voice says as we all looked and turn to the direction of that voice.

It was the rest of my friends....

"Didn't we say we we're going to meet at that building?!" Kristy says in annoyance as she points to the building where all of us were supposed to meet.

"Don't look at me, it was all Cassie" I say with a poker face making Cassies jaw drop.
"What I-"
"I knew it! You always like to ruin plans and get ahead of things without letting all of us know" Kristy says with complete annoyance ignoring the fact that there we're three strangers listening to this argument. While the rest of my friends just watch this happen like it was completely normal.
"You don't understand we were going to come back-"
"Oh really come back?! Pffttt heard that before"
"Heard that before" Cassie mimics back making Kristy rage out more
"DID YOU JUST-"

I had to do something about. Sigh

"ENOUGH YOU TWO!!!" I say pulling them away from each other as they were this close into pulling each other's hair.

"We're all here already and that's all that matters, now stop it." I say through gritted teeth clearly annoyed giving them both a death glare as they gulped in unison and nodded their heads at the same time.
