Jisung woke up the next morning, tv still on, and somehow he was at the other end of the couch. "How did I manage to get to the other side of the couch without falling off at least once?" He pondered. "Doesn't matter, nor do I need to be focused on it. I need to be focused on how to get some food for myself because I'm starving." Jisung groaned, sitting up from his current position on the couch.

He started to take in his surroundings. He noticed how the golden sunlight poured into the dorm, how neat the dorm was, and how the colors all blended together so well. Minho may be mean, but the guy certainly had a knack for decorating.

Jisung eventually decided that he was going to bug one of his friends at school to bring him food. Usually Jisung was the shy type, but he took this oppertunity to rebrand himself in a way. Moving to a new school, that is. He picked up his phone off of the table, calling his friend Donghyuck, or Haechan as he insisted he call him.

"Yo Hyuck, bring me food today." "And why should I do that?" The older boy countered. "Because, I'm your friend, and that's what friends do." Jisung said confidently. "First of all, who said we were friends? Second, it's very bold of you to assume that I haven't already eaten all the food in my house." Donghyuck said with sass practically oozing from his tone.

"Please hyuckie? If you do this for me I'll owe you big time." The squirrel boy pleaded. "Fine. But if I ask you to do something for me, there will be no whining." Jisung was about to reply, offering his gratitude when he suddenly heard the line go dead.

"Wow that kid really is something else" Jisung whispered to himself. He then got up and headed to his room to get dressed. He shuffled through his unnecessarily large amount of clothes, trying, and failing, to decide on an appropriate outfit to wear. His gaze shifted to the dresser full of skirts and things of that nature. No one really knew this about him, but he liked to feel pretty this way.

He could never tell anyone this, he'd nearly pass out if anyone ever found out. It wasn't normal, and he really was trying his best to be normal for once in his life. Eventually he settled on his favorite pastel yellow sweatshirt and some light wash jeans. He giggled to himself thinking about what Changkyun would think if he saw him. Again since they had been friends for so long, the boy had eventually found out. 

Luckily, he wasn't judgemental at all, and often went to the mall with him to fuel his shopping addiction. Just to make himself feel good, he applied some makeup, and put on some jewlery. "Damn, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I look fine as hell today and I'm not complaining at all." The curly haired boy smirked to himself. He promised to himself that he would apologize to Minho when he saw him at school, assuming they had classes together.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be friends with him. I don't care what you want me to do." Minho grumbled with a mouth full of cereal. He was currently sitting in the cafeteria with Woojin, Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin. Chan had approached him, talking to him about what had happened the previous Friday. 

"I just think that you should at least try to be friends with him. He seems like a really nice boy, and he was kind of lost when we first met him. I want to welcome him into our group and become friends with him, before he starts to get labeled as 'The Loner' or some shit. You know how people are at this school." 

"And all I have to say to that is he should find his own friends. He already made a mess of our appartment, and I don't want to have to deal with him." 

"Minho why are you so opposed to being friends with him? You might as well become friends seeing as you're roommates." 

"I just don't want to ok?  We already have a good thing going for us, why mess it up or adjust it?"

Minho suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Chan outside the doors before he was dragged into the cafeteria and forced to talk about this. 

"Come on, just give him a chance! He really does seem like a nice guy Minho," Jeongin pleaded with him "and if you really don't like him, we won't force you to hang out with him. We just don't want you to immediately put him on your list of people you hate when you haven't really even met him." 

"Fine, fine! I'll give it a chance, but if he tries anything I will not hesitate to get real disrespectful real quick." The brown haired boy exclaimed, much to his friends pleasure. They were all excitedly chatting about how excited they were to have a new friend when they heard the doors to the cafeteria open. All 8 of them saw a squirrel-y looking boy in a pastel yellow sweater in the enterance.

Jisung widened his eyes, and then immediately looked down at the floor, slowly walking over to them. He approached Minho and stuck something out at him. "What's this?" Minho questioned him as he grabbed the box from out of the boys hands. "Just open it. Please" Jisung whispered. His mind was racing, wondering if Minho would like his gift, and more importantly accept his apology. Minho opened the box, finding a folded letter, and underneath it, a bracelet with a crown on it. 

Minho picked up the bracelet and stared at it. Where had he gotten the money to buy this, why did he give it to Minho of all people, and when did he have the time to get it, were questions racing through his mind so fast he couldn't focus. The blue haired male standing across from him smiled weakly, offering to put on the bracelet for him. "I just wanted to apologize and start over I guess. I saw this bracelet and I decided I wanted to get it for you," Jisung hummed in satisfaction when he had finally clasped the bracelet onto his wrist. 

Jisung heard someone cough, and immediately turned beet red. He had completely forgot that the others were there to witness the whole thing. Jisung quickly bowed and said his apologies for interupting their conversation, speeding out of the cafeteria and in the direction of the library. 

How he managed to embarrass himself in every single situation possible, he did not know the answer to. One thing he did know was that this certainly was going to be a long year for him.
