chapter 9: detention

12:04 PM, Friday, November 13th, 2021

It had been exactly two weeks since Hyunjin's dramatic arrival at your school. Everything was awkward. He would stare at you in english class, lunch, in the halls, or any other time he saw you. It had become normal for you to leave school as quickly as possible. Thankfully, he wasn't on your bus either, though you rarely rode on it.

You walked into the school halls, no Hyunjin in sight. Choerry waved to you as you passed her. When you turned the corner you were surprised to see Beomgyu, Jeno, and Hyunjin standing right next to your locker. You have got to be kidding me. You walked up to your locker not paying them any mind.
"Hey Y/N." Beomgyu turned to you.
"Morning." you smiled at him.
"Y/N do you know Hyunjin?" Jeno said, pointing at Hyunjin.
"Huh?!" you turned to him.
There was a silent pause. You looked at Hyunjin. You weren't sure what to go with. Should I lie?
"She's in my english class." Hyunjin broke the silence.
"Yeah." you were relieved.
"I've actually known her for a while though," he added.
"What?!" you turned back to Hyunjin.
"Really?" Beomgyu was curious.
"Y-yup! We went to the same school before we both transferred here." you blurted out.
"Ahhh," Jeno said.
"Doesn't it seem like fate?" Hyunjin smirked.
"Huh?" Beomgyu looked at him weirdly.
"Anyways, how do you guys know him?" you changed the topic.
"Oh, he goes to the same skatepark as me," Jeno said.
"Oh you skate?" you asked.
"No, I bike there." Jeno smiled.
"Jeno just introduced me to him," Beomgyu said.
"Cool, well, I'm gonna go, bye guys." you wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
You walked away from them.
"She's been acting weird recently huh." Beomgyu turned to Jeno.
"Totally." Jeno scratched his neck.
They both looked at Hyunjin.
"So... what was Y/N like at her old school?" Beomgyu asked.
"Yeah yeah, what was she like?" Jeno asked.
The looked at him like curious puppies.

You sat, trying to keep your eyes open as your english teacher droned on.
"Pssst~" someone was trying to get your attention. You turned to see Hwang Hyunjin looking at you. You chose to ignore him. What does this jerk want?
"Hey, Y/N!" he whispered at you.
"Y/N~" he kept calling you.
"Oh my gosh, what? What do you want?" you turned to him.
"Y/N and Hyunjin if you could stay focused that would great." the teacher called you out.
You turned back around to see the teacher and the class looking at you.
"Sorry." you apologized.

It wasn't long after the teacher resumed the lesson that you heard him whispering to you again.
"Y/N!" he said.
You tried to hold yourself together, though the pure annoyance was seeping through.
"Y/N, are you listening to me?" he whispered.
"Y/N~"
"Y/N why are you ignoring me?" he asked.
"Y/N-" you cut him off.
"What?? What do you want from me?!" you stood up, turning to Hyunjin.
"Y/N! This behavior is unacceptable, that's detention for you miss." the teacher began writing on his clipboard.
"I wasn't even doing anything! Hwang Hyunjin wouldn't stop talking to me!" you complained.
"She's right, I'm sorry sir," Hyunjin said.
"Great, then you can both spend detention together." the teacher said.
I hate it here, you laid your head down on your desk. Choerry looked at you, she felt bad.
"Sorry," Hyunjin whispered to you.
"Save it." you sighed.

Beomgyu stood before you outside of the school's practical-life room, where detention was being held.
"Don't tell me you got detention too." you shut your eyes.
"Yeah, I threw a paper at Eric, but it hit the teacher's head instead..." Beomgyu looked down.
"You make me forget we're seniors sometimes Choi Beomgyu." you laughed shaking your head.
"What are you in for?" he tucked one of your flyaways behind your ear.
"I yelled in class..." you said.
"Hothead Y/N appears in a local classroom!" he joked.
"Shall we?" you put your hand on the doorknob.
"Let's just get this over with," he said.
You walked in to see Hyunjin sitting in one of the seats, he was the only student in the room. Your smile dropped, you honestly forgot he would be there.
"There you two are, have a seat." the instructor said.
There were only three seats, they were set up in a spaced out in a horizontal formation. You sat in the middle, Hyunjin to your left and Beomgyu on your right. To the boys, this might seem like a fine situation, but on the inside, you were freaking out. Sitting on both sides of you was your current boyfriend and your ex, and they both had no idea about the other. You could feel them both looking at you. You looked down at your desk. If I look at Beomgyu, Hyunjin will get suspicious. But if I look at Hyunjin, Beomgyu will get jealous. UGHHHH! Is this some sort of cruel punishment for something I did?! You slumped down into your chair. I should just sleep this one out. Yes, sleeping, great idea.
