Under the skin.

School was fine. I was happy to see Ara again. She was very energetic today, talking about her weekend. 

"My dog started barking at my brother because he dressed up as a girl. She couldn't recognize him!" Ara roared, holding her stomach. She was currently on the ground laughing up a lung. 

I was in tears giggling, but a headache remained pounding in my head. Ara's brother, Hugo was such a funny boy. He always made us laugh when we were sad.

After a few minutes, we both calmed down. 

"How was your weekend?" she asked. 

I stopped smiling. "Well, Jimin's cousin passed away. So, I went to the funeral. It was a depressing weekend and the weather was shit."

Ara patted my back, "Oh, I heard about that. It's so sad!" 

I nodded. "Also, I met Jin's friends. Somehow, I've never met them before."

Ara raised an eyebrow. 

"Who are they?"

I opened my mouth to speak when I heard footsteps down the hall. I was able to make out Jin's laugh. Peering over Ara's shoulder I saw Jin with his friends. 

I nudged Ara's shoulder. "That's them."

She turned to look at them. Her mouth formed an "o" shape. 

"Jimin is friends with him? Poor you Lae. They're really good looking though. I've never seen a group in school with so many good looks."

I wrinkled my nose. "Yeah. It's weird. They're almost too perfect. Too perfect looking. See that guy, with the doe eyes?" I said, looking at Jungkook.

"Yeah? You do know that you could easily fit it with them because your looks are like perfect too, like Jin." She chuckled. 

I let out a "pfft". 

"Well, Jin had them over and they stayed over for the night. He had me against a wall and he fucking licked and sniffed my neck. They're so strange." I seethed. 

Ara looked disgusted. "Damn. I just learned that you can't judge a book by it's cover." 

I nodded in agreement. "Let's go to class." We both turned ourselves towards our class, our hair swishing behind us. Maths. Eww. 

My headache grew worse and worse. 

Halfway through maths class, a sharp attack from the headache sliced through my brain. 

I let out a low groan. 

"Lae, are you okay? Do you need to go to the bathroom?" Mrs Lennon, the maths teacher asked. 

I nodded.

"Ms Jisoo can go with you."

Ugh. I hated Jisoo. She was such a bitch to me and Ara. Jisoo was very popular in the school. She has many exes and they still wanted to get with her again. I sighed and slowly walked to the bathroom. 

I saw Jisoo roll her eyes and get up, following me. 

Arriving in the bathroom, I glanced in the mirror. My skin was sickly pale. Sweat was starting to form on my forehead and back. My stomach churned and I rushed for the toilet. 

Jisoo walked in and looked at her nails as I vomited. 

"You shouldn't have come to school if you were sick. You could get others sick, like me." she said.

I held onto the rim of the toilet, panting. I turned towards her and glared. She finally looked at me. 

"Well I'm sorry. I was forced to come to school. Trust me, I didn't want to come here." I said, my tired eyes narrowed. 

She looked away. 

I let out another groan and vomited in the toilet. This time, the vomit was red, blood like. My eyes widened. 

It was blood. 

Jisoo gasped. "What the fuck? That's disgusting!"

I ignored her. My vision started blurring. Growing dizzy, I leaned against the wall of the bathroom stall. 

My vision tunneled and I went into unconsciousness.
