Kaelynn's POV
I walk into my electives class; before admission, you have to select a field of art you're talented in and it will be treated as an actual class. I chose dance because that's basically my passion.
I wonder if Yanyan is in this elective, I don't see him here so I guess not. I have a really bad feeling something terrible is going to happen today. It's been there since yesterday but the feeling intensified when I woke up today.
The teacher introduces himself since we're all kinda freshmen, he seems really nice and laid back. I feel a presence creeping behind me, probably someone attempting a jump scare so I do a full 180° and grab his/her hand.
"Joseph?!"
"Hello" He greets with a nervous look.
"Um........you can let go now" Well isn't this nostalgic.
"Why? My hand seems quite comfortable in this position." I say with a smirk. He laughs and I release his wrist quietly laughing along.
At that moment Yanyan walks in looking pissed. "Hey Yanyan."
He ignores me and goes to stand on the other side of the class room, away from me. Maybe he's just having an off day, I'll talk to him later.
We end up free styling for today's class. Joseph keeps making me laugh at his dorky actions and funny dances. I notice from the little side glances, Yanyan intensely glaring at us

During lunch I go to meet Yanyan to ask him what's wrong today to see if I could make him feel better.
"Hey Yanyan" I call when I see him heading towards the school's huge outdoor garden for those who prefer some fresh air while eating. He keeps moving,maybe he didn't hear me.
I jog to where he is and hold him by his wrist. "Hey Yanyan. What's wrong? You've been acting off today." He pulls his hand from my grip and pushes me away, literally.
"Wait tell me why you're upset. Maybe I can help"
"Leave me alone KRGarcia."
His words make me halt in my step, a little panic growing.
"Wait Yanyan. I can explain."
"Did you honestly think I wouldn't find out?! That must be why you even bothered to talk to me in the first place, cause I was that guy from tik tok."
He looks at me with angry tears in his eyes. "I swear that's not why I'm friends with you. I-"
"So you're saying that if you never knew who I was you'd bother talking to me in the first place?"
I stay silent because I can't honestly give him the answer he wants.
"Thought so. Go hang around Joseph, I'm sure he'll give you all the clout you want."
As he starts walking away, I say something I feel has to be said.
"I never hung out with any of you for clout. I only just wanted to be friends." He feels a sharp pain in his chest when she says the word 'friends'. Of course just friends.
"If you really wanted to be friends. You would've told me the truth at the beginning. It would've worked out any way."
The bell rings for the next class and he leaves not giving me a glance while I try to force back tears that are begging to fall.

Yanyan gives me the cold shoulder for the rest of the day and I give him some space. Joseph asks to go out and I agree, needing something to take my mind off everything.
"Would you mind if I invited Yanyan?" I shrug almost 100% sure he'll say no once he sees me.
"Yanyan. Wanna come? We're going to get ice cream" Joseph asks side hugging him. I know I should be feeling bad right now, but is it so wrong that a voice in my head is screaming Yanseph?
Yanyan takes a look at me and makes up an excuse not to go. I knew it, even though a part of me was hoping he'd come anyway. Joseph tries to convince him but he still refuses. Maybe I should go home, I don't wanna cause problems between them but before I could go through with that plan.
"Ok then. See you later Yanyan." Joseph says before grabbing my hand and pulling me with him.
Yanyan's POV
I watch as Joseph drags her along with him. That sharp pain comes back seeing his hands on hers. I would forgive her, give her another chance but I'd rather not get hurt again. It's not like she's the first, or second................or third..................
