A/N: a school fix because I missed school ✊

As usual, you were late again. For some reason, it became a habit. Being mindless of time, and being mindless in general. Life hates you anyways. It was always unfair to you. You throw your bag to the wall. Jumping to reach the wall and successfully passing through it.

Somehow, these miseries let's you discover new talents, just like parkouring and running as fast as you could. You quietly entered the room, you were like a ghost anyways, an outsider. Nobody really acknowledges your existence. Even though school sucks, you know you needed to go to school. Maybe it is not as important as now, but in the long run, you know, it is crucial.

The door swing open. Somebody came in. "I'm sorry, I'm late." he said and swiftly went to his sit. You can't recall his name. The teacher seems chill about him being late. Is he also an outsider like you? You realize this is some rare moment you actually pay attention to class.

The teacher exited the room after a boring greeting from your classmates. You also exited the room because you are hungry, you didn't took breakfast, as always. Walking on the hallway, decreasing your pace, you felt footsteps behind you.

You looked back. It was him, the classmate you don't know.

"What were you staring at?" he snapped his fingers, making you flinched. You didn't realize you spaced out.

"Nothing. You look sick." you said absent-mindedly.

"I know, everybody says that." he said, he seem sad about it. He walked past you so you ran to him.

"Yah- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say it. What I mean is you look sad." you said, hoping he'll feel a little bit relieved.

You both walked to the cafeteria. He bought Strawberry Milk and you bought the same. He want to soccer field, you went to the soccer field.

"Why are you following me?" he said as he sat on one of the benches, drinking his strawberry milk.

"I don't know. I got nowhere to go. I don't want to go to the classroom yet." you confessed, sitting beside him. The weather was fine, it was not that sunny. The wind was just right to make you feel relaxed.

Silence filled the atmosphere. You just observe the surroundings. The soccer net, the classrooms, the students watching you, the student running on hallway, the teacher with loads of papers holding. While staring at those things, you felt someone was staring at you. You avert your gaze to him, yet he quickly avert his gaze somewhere. A little smile form on your face.

"Are you really sure we are classmates?" you asked him, kicking his shoe lightly. He played the rocks with his shoe.

"Yes, I can't believe this is our first conversation." he said, it was indeed a rare moment you talk to people.

"I am sorry again for calling you sick." you said out of the blue to destroy the awkward silence around the both of you.

"It was really okay. I'm not fine with it but there is nothing to be dramatic about. I wanna tell myself it was okay, that it's just a misunderstanding but you know, it hurts." he said, you don't know what to say for real.

"You know what, let's skip class today. Let's go on noraebang, Daehyun." you said, standing up and giving him a hand.

"My name is Taehyun." he corrected and held your hand. You ran to the gate making sure you won't get caught by the school guard. Luckily, the school guard was sleeping.

Walking around the street, still holding Taehyun's hand. Walking pass the street foods, walking pass the shops.
