(a/n: i just splurged on all of the boyz albums and i can officially say that i am satisfied)

We're back at back at hell..." Eric yawns as we all walk into the school building.

It was an early Monday morning which meant we were back at school after 2 weeks of break. As expected, the guys weren't happy to be back. Luckily I worked on the project all break long so Sunwoo and I only had to decorate our presentation and make it look nice.

We stopped at our lockers and I began feeling tired after getting my stuff. I lean against my locker and yawn, smacking the back of my head lightly to wake me up.

"We should've stopped and got coffee before getting to school." Eric yawns loudly, resting his head on Sangyeon.

"All of you fuckers woke up late and I had to spam your phones to wake you guys up." I glare at them. "I told you guys to sleep early, why didn't you listen? Now you'll be asleep in all of your classes, how dumb are you guys.."

"Jihyun's scary when she scolds us." Changmin giggles sleepily.

"We DID sleep at 4 am... after she told us to sleep before 12..." Younghoon scratches his head drowsily.

"Kang Jihyun?" All of our heads turn.

I see Hwang Hyunjin; the person who broke my heart and completely ruined my trust for everyone and everything when I was a freshman. His hair was blonde and a bit longer; up to his neck almost. His face structures looked exactly the same, except just more matured.

He hasn't been here at the school after freshman year, he moved schools.. I don't know why he's back after two years. He played with my feelings, then completely fucked me over by creating false rumors about me.

"What is it?" I coldly respond.

"I haven't seen you in so long, you got really pretty. Prettier." Hyunjin smiles at me; his dumb smile I fell for.

"Get to the point, Hyunjin." I stare at him hard.

"I know I did you wrong in freshman year, but it's been almost three years. I've changed ever since, you know I'm really sorry about what I did." He says emotionless. "Seeing you now just makes me miss you a lot more, I haven't had my eyes on anyone ever since-"

"Get lost." I remark.

"What?" He says.

"I said, get lost." I grit my teeth.

"Jihyun, you know I'm sorry! You know I regret-"

"You aren't sorry, you were never sorry. You haven't said sorry all these years, an apology isn't even going to cut it at this point. You were downright a piece of shit and you probably still are. You might think I'm still foolish but I can see right through you." I spit out. "Even if you changed, I don't want anything to do with you."

"Jihyun, don't be so harsh..." he chuckles slowly and nervously.

"Dude, it's clear she doesn't like you, just leave it alone." Eric stands in front of me.

"Oh, Eric! I haven't seen you in a long time! How's things been, bro? How's your-"

"Stop speaking to me as if we're cool. You were never my friend, I never liked you." Eric remarks coldly. "I didn't forget about the past."

"The past is the past, why are you guys still holding a grudge!" Hyunjin exclaims.

"Come on guys, just walk it off-" Sangyeon tries cutting in, but gets interrupted shortly by Eric.

"I get that it's the past, I really do. But the fact that you decided to come back and give Jihyun a half-assed apology after you know she's thriving with herself and she's actually happy again really fucks everything up. What did you expect to happen? Her to forgive you?" Eric snickers. "Hell, you haven't apologized for almost THREE years. Of course you want to come back after hearing she's finally happy."

"Eric-" I try to intervene, but Younghoon tugs on my arm and frowns at me.

"I'm a good person now, I've changed. I'm not like that anymore, you guys have to trust me." Hyunjin frowns angrily.

"Bullshit. I heard all of those things about you recently, you aren't innocent at all. You were a piece of shit and you still are." Eric remarks.

"I heard rumors about Jihyun being a slut, now I can finally confirm that it's true." Hyunjin smirks maliciously.

"Me? A slut?!" I exclaim angrily, but Sunwoo pulls me away before I can get closer to Hyunjin. "You dated half the grade, don't get smart mouthed with me, Hwang Hyunjin."

"Shut up, Jihyun-"

"Who the fuck are you to say Jihyun's a slut, huh? You pathetic people have to hate on a person who's actually finally happy, don't you? You're so jealous of another person's happiness because you all are so fucking pathetic." Sunwoo glares at him coldly.

"Think twice before you call her a slut, we will actually punch the shit out of you, Hyunjin. We aren't messing around." Eric scarily says.

Holy shit, they're seriously so scary when they're angry like this, it's giving me chills.

"Come on dude, I'm sure you heard about the stories. Why would you even try messing with us anyway?" I hear Juyeon say.

"There's no point in trying to start problems with Jihyun, we're all here for her together." Changmin frowns.

"Yeah, dude.... it's better to walk away now." Haknyeon says in a monotone voice.

"Such low lives, seriously.." Hyunjae snickers.

"Get the hell out our faces before I beat the shit out of you like the last guy." Sunwoo deadpans.

"Whatever. Jihyun, you're missing out."

"What am I missing out on? What's there to miss out on?" I chuckle, absolutely amused.

"You bitch-" before Hyunjin can come closer to me, Sunwoo shoves him.

"You don't want to test my patience. Leave, now." Sunwoo grits his teeth.

Hyunjin gives us one last snarky glare and walks away from us; after he walks away, the students in the hallway immediately look away once any of us makes eye contact with them.

"Seriously, everyone has a problem with Jihyun." Chanhee sighs.

"People pray for your downfall, that's why." Kevin shrugs.

"I'm surprised Sunwoo or Eric didn't beat the shit out of him the second he called Jihyun a slut." Jacob chuckles, trying to lighten up the mood.

"I'm a slut for hanging out with guys.. makes sense." I facepalm.

"People are pathetic, point blank period."
