"Y/N please, just let me explain."

I slammed my locker shut and avoided Jaemin's gaze as he continued to plead.

"What is there to explain exactly? It's over Jaemin, don't make this harder than it has to."

"But I was set up, Yoona set us both up."

Anger filled me after hearing his words. How much longer did he plan to continue lying to me?

"She set us up?" I rhetorically asked. "Or did you set yourself up?"

"Huh?" Confusion set upon his face. "What's that supposed to mean?"

I glared at him and couldn't help but let out a laugh to hold back my tears. "Yah!" I raised my voice slightly. "How much longer are you going to lie to me? I heard everything Jaemin."

"W-What are you talking about?"

"Yesterday after class, I overheard your conversation with Yoona." I took a deep breath as I fought tears from escaping my eyes. "You know I almost believed you, but I should've known," I couldn't help it any longer, my tears broke free as I started to cry uncontrollably. "I was so stupid to think you actually liked me. I get it now, I'm the school loser so I must have just been some meaningless game to you right? Well congratulations, you won."

"Y/N I-"

"Don't." I cut him off "Haven't you done enough?" I mumbled while wiping away my tears. "You can stop pretending now. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone......just leave me alone."

I walked away from him without saying any other words.

"Hey y/n whats u.......are you okay?"

I looked at Yangyang after sitting down in my seat.

"Perfectly fine." I faked a smile, making sure I had no leftover tear stains on my face.

He frowned knowing very well that I wasn't okay.

"Listen if you need someone to ta-"

"I said I was fine." I suddenly snapped at him. I cleared my throat and softened my tone. "I-I'm fine okay."

He nodded and faced towards the front of the class when Mrs. Lee walked in.

Suyeon walked in late immediately catching the attention of Mrs. Lee and everyone else.

"Late again are we?"

Suyeon bowed apologetically. "I'm sorry for my tardiness, it won't happen again."

Mrs. Lee shook her head and sighed. "I'm sorry Suyeon but I can't keep dismissing your tardies. Detention after school, don't be late."

"After school? But Mrs. Lee I have cheer practice." She pleaded.

"Well then I guess you should have thought about that before being late again. Now are we gonna have anymore issues or may I proceed with class?" She crossed her arms.

"Yes Mrs. Lee." Suyeon responded and walked straight to her desk.

While Mrs. Lee was discussing the upcoming Senior trip during winter break, Suyeon turned around and sighed.

"What a bitch, Coach is going to kill me if I miss practice."

I shrugged my shoulders not paying much attention to her. Although Suyeon was my best friend, she had a bad habit of complaining and blaming everyone but herself when things didn't go her way and I wasn't exactly in the mood to humor her today. I spent the entire morning quietly working on my class assignments and focusing on the lessons instead.
