announcements

finally i got to my house after the longest two weeks of my life. unfortunately school was back tomorrow and i wasn't ready. at least there was no assignments over the break. if there was that'd be hell.

but i had the last few weeks of memories to keep me going ~

----------------------------------

i was not ready for the alarm that woke me up at 6am. i had been sleeping way to many peaceful nights that i forgot what it was like to have school. i didn't have a soul to hold that night or a face to wake up to. just me, myself, and i until my reflection joined us later when i went to my bathroom mirror. i was a mess. hair all over and face pale with a chill.

i went to my closet and got myself ready for the day. a black a t-shirt tucked into navy blue jeans with a belt. a messy blue flannel to top with some yellow and white lines. rather comfy but cute look to start the week.

i had oatmeal and strawberries for breakfast before quickly walking my way to school. i guess i hadn't timed up with minho as he was no where to be seen when i walked there this time. it was decently breezy but rather foggy signally rain later that day. i arrived swiftly to school without trouble.

students rushed through the doors and made out in the halls and screamed about homework answers and all these other dramatic conversations. i walked right over to my homeroom who i shared with someone special although our seats were opposite of the room. emma was waiting against the wall typing on her phone in a grey pink floyd hoodie and leggins. her hair was straightened this time and she barely noticed my arrival until a few seconds into my approach.

she gazed up and pretty much squealed but silently so there wouldn't be much attention drawn. she jumped to hug me tight and i held her for a moment in return. "not gonna lie. i did kind of miss you jisung. it's good to have you back!" she exclaimed.

we turned into our homeroom at the two minute warning and settled at our opposing seats , although a window of space allowed us to see each other. we wrote down some schedules and notes for the day before listening into the announcements. the language club would meet on friday, the bowling team had a game on wednesday that was away, and they hoped we had a good break.

"now students i must be the first to make this pleasurable announcement to you all. as you know our homecoming dance was a success back in october, but that is only one of the many. our school wide winter dance will be held february 8, a friday, at the catering building about a block away. tickets are $20 and the name of any dates or escorts must be turned in by the ticket deadline which is next monday! this is so we have time to buy catering, hire djs and photo booths, and many more festivities to celebrate our school."

i stared wide eyed at the speaker. emma stared wide eyed at me. i turned after the announcements were completed and looked at her. the time was 7:29 so we'd have to discuss this later  as everyone was blocking our path of sight while packing up to leave the minute after this one.

the bell rang and i headed over to my first period. i wonder if emma and i were thinking the same thing. who'd go with who...?

——————————————

woojin being a senior had different classes the rest of the year. not sure if i'd see him in classes again. but emma was in math as always. and as i said before you couldn't miss her.

we wrapped up our classes and emma and i walked to lunch together now that she sat with us. it felt weird not going to get minho for once at his locker, but he understood.

we got to lunch and the dance was the immediate topic. felix was talking all shy about it. "guys. i kinda wanna ask someone..? or i hope someone wants to ask me!"

everyone laughed and was a bit shocked. "felix. when was the last time you got a girl again?" he was embarrassed and pale. his freckles stuck out very obviously . "it's alright, lix. don't listen to them. you'll get someone!" seungmin smiled adorably to cheer up the australian student.

"if not go with me! as a buddy of course. we could be lonely together." seungmin was such a dandy person. he was always smiling and happy to help. like a puppy was loyal to his owner, seungmin was to you.

"you two going together?" changbin peaked over and asked emma and i. i had no clue what to reply but hopefully emma would improv again and save the day.

"we're gonna discuss that. of course i wouldn't wanna suspend you from hanging out with friends, ji. we'll get back to you on that, bin." she smiled. chris nodded proudly. he was proud of me.

no body was ever proud of me. not my parents or myself. i never thought i did enough. but maybe i was doing too much now. this was a bit hectic after all.

minho arrived as the bell rang as he normally did. he sat beside seungmin as normal . everyone was all here now. i began to count heads. one. two . three. wait...

i think we're missing someone. hold on. i recounted. someone was missing. i already subtracted jeongin and woojin since the baby left for america and woojin switched classes this year for half the year.
felix spoke up to help me out though.

"hey guys. have you seen hyunjin today?"
