Sneak Peek:
"Hello?" He answered.
"Jungkook, look across the street," She said.
She watched him furrow his eyebrows and look at her shocked. She waved at him with the hand that had the box of paper hearts which caused his face to soften.
She quickly...
"Trying to remember all the good times." - Tori Kelly
Jungkook's POV
For the past few days, I've been avoiding Jaz like the plague. I know it's rude, but I don't want anything to do with her if it's going to make her mental health worse. I'd take the back hallways and have my hood on where it completely hides my side profile. The first time I looked at her was when I saw her pounce on Stacey. She looked like a completely different person. I've never seen her like that before.
Every time I'd see her in the hallway, she looked distraught. Those beautiful brown eyes didn't sparkle anymore. Her plump lips never curved to a perfect smile, displaying her dimples and the cute gap that nobody could make her ashamed of.
It's hard to imagine all the good times we had with one another when she looks so moppy. Not even Brianna can get her out of that mood. She'll smile, but it would always come out forced or never reach her eyes. I felt like a prisoner to her since she never left my mind and although I avoided her, I always found myself glancing at her to see if she's okay.
It's the fourth week of school, Wednesday to be exact and my math teacher comes up to me while I enter the class.
"Hey, Jungkook," Mrs. Kasongo says, smiling widely. "I've seen that you've been struggling with Precalculus. Your scores haven't gone pass 60%."
"Yeah, math isn't really my thing," I respond sheepishly.
"Well, your grade isn't very good in this class. If you want extra credit, you can join the Math League or stud to retake ALL your test," Mrs. Kasongo says.
My eyes widen at her.

"W-Why? I'm terrible at math and I can't really stay after school because I have practice with my band."
"Practice is only Monday - Wednesday - Friday from 2:15 - 4 pm. But if that's how you feel, better start studying for those tests," She says before walking away from me to her desk.
Study for math? She is expecting a lot from me. Never liked math and never will. It's something that I can never grasp, but thank goodness this is my last year of school and I can completely focus on BTS and only BTS. For the whole day, I thought it through and I believe Math League is the way. I'll test my dance instructor and PD in 'cause I'm trying to graduate. I'm never retaking a grade again!
I quickly walk into Mrs. Kasongo's classroom at 2:10 pm. She immediately looks at me like she was expecting me. She takes her glasses out and sets them down in front of her before turning her chain towards me and crossing her legs.
"Glad you came, Jungkook. I'll introduce you to the team in 5 minutes. Find a spot," She says smiling at me.
I sit down at the closest desk to me. Trying to avoid all the piercing stares, I adjust my hoodie where it's hiding the right side of my face and take my phone out. As I wait, my mind strays to Jaz... the moment I asked her out. It was a mess. If it weren't for Damian and Andres, she wouldn't know what I was asking. I was a blushing, hot mess. Sometimes I wish my face never blushed so people couldn't see when I'm embarrassed or nervous. When Jaz and I were together, she would tell me every time I was blushing which would always worsen it. I think she did it for her own entertainment.
