I skate my way to the café, feeling the wind in my hair. People where out and about, getting coffee or talking. I grab an iced coffee to go and head to my class. My professor was already in her room, organizing some papers and students were scattered around the room. She smiles at me, then frowns at my shoes.
"Jisung, none of that in my room." She says sternly.
I nod. "I know." I sit at the front, towards the side.
The class fills with students, mainly female considering it's cosmetics. A few guys come in, still. Class begins.
"Today, were starting a new unit. Nail art. Under your desk are a box of nails and nail glue. Pair up and try it out." She says.
I end up pairing with Jennie. She's really nice and pretty. She likes nails. Luckily, she didn't have them on today. I do my best and get glue all over my hands.
"You're a mess." She giggles.
I blush and try again with the next nail. I start getting it better and less messy. She watches intently. I do her other hand better and then paint her nails. She had picked out a pretty purple color to match her outfit today. She does my nails and does better since she does her nails a lot. She does them for her girlfriend sometimes too.
Guess I really am the one and only lonely gay at this college.
She does all my nails white with a silver accent nail. Professor Park walks around and sighs at all the work everyone did.
"You all get an F. You all failed that."
"What? Why?" Jennie looks at her.
"Good effort. The nails are pretty. But hand hygiene. Your client has to wash their hands to get rid of bacteria that could get trapped under the nails and cause infections. Take the nails off. Try again."
After class, I had clean, pretty nails. Jennie painted my nails the same way and even put a tiny silver heart on my thumb.
We learned all about nail care and the different kinds of nails. Tomorrow we have to practice different shapes of nails and make them really pretty. I skate over to the dorms again to find Seungmin was gone. He must've had work or class today. I go to Felix's dorm room and knock on the door. I hear rustling inside.
The door opens to Hyunjin. I try looking inside, but he blocks me.
"What do you want?"
"Is Felix here?"
"No, it's just me and Jeongin." He shakes his head. "Felix is on a lunch date with Changbin."
I peek in the door, seeing Jeongin was asleep on Felix's bed, naked. Hyunjin blocks me again. I nod.
"Sorry. I can come back later." I mumble.
He nods. "Yeah, we're leaving soon, so go for it." He looks back at Jeongin.
"Just so you know, he really likes daisies." I sigh. "Daises and candy."
He blushes and nods. "I'll keep it in mind." He gives me a small smile.
I leave the dorm building and skate around campus, looking for an empty spot. I plant myself under a tree and sigh.
"Fuck!" A body falls from the tree, landing right next to me.
I jump and scream at the sudden everything. She sits up and looks at me.
"I'll be leaving now." She says.
I nod. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. How are you?"
"Umm... You just feel out if a tree..."
"Uh-huh?"
"Why?"
"I saw a bird." She answers before running away.
I sigh and open my bag. I grab my phone and make sure my makeup is still perfect. Of course it was. I look around to find students walking around. Talking to friends. Smiling. But not me.
I make sure my skirt covered everything before grabbing my notebook to write in.
