(Author's Note: I accidentally published this as chapter 8 the first time, my apologies)
Two months have passed since that day when I first introduced Yoona to our friend group, she's been getting really close with us. The two of us have even had a couple of sleepovers, we practically know everything about each other. She's not a very social person and she said it to me herself that she seems more comfortable with me and she does with the rest of the group, which I completely understand. She's such a sweet girl though, time flies by when I'm hanging out with her.
We hang out almost every day at my place. My dad doesn't really mind whoever I have over at our place, mainly because I only have Jin and the boys and Yoona that come over, and he already knows all of them.
School has been pretty normal, of course, the "ABG" girls at our school are always glaring at me, now at Yoona too since she hangs out with us, for no reason, I really don't mind anymore because I have all of my chaotic but lovely friends.
Every time I see Jin, I just..freak out and act all awkward. I have no idea why I'm suddenly acting like this, we've always been so comfortable with each other. But for some reason, I think Jin acts the same? I try not to but I really can't help myself.
Last week, I had to ask Jin about a group assignment for a science class and this is how our conversation went.
"Hey, um Jeen? I mean Jin, uh. Have you finished your PowerPoint slide yet..." I awkwardly trailed off of embarrassment.
"Yeah, I'll send it to you, hold on." He matched my energy without meeting my eyes.
Yoona is shy but still outgoing, it's quite hard to explain. Every time Jin comes close to Yoona, Yoona acts the same as well. She gets shy and awkward, but when she's with us she's outgoing. We take a lot of pictures for her Instagram, recently she told us that she's an Instagram fashion blogger. She also has a lot of ties to different people and so she tells us everything about everyone. Since we go to a school in the middle of Seoul, we have quite a bit of idol trainees or audition trainees, as well as a few people training to become actors or actresses. Yoona told me that the girl with "the dramatic curls and hoop earrings" as I put it, who glares at me and obviously talks shit about me, is an idol trainee. Yoona is also friends with a lot of famous people since her job is related to that in a way.
I enjoy dancing a lot and I've gotten to get into it more, and with other people. Since I always used to move, I didn't really get the chance to join classes or join a dance team at a past school that I've been in. This is my last year in school and I want to get the best experience so I decided to join some dance classes and see my progress. If I get better, I decided to join the dance team that Hobi was in, with a little bit of bullying from him. I feel like hip hop or urban style dances would fit me better so I decided to go with that instead of the contemporary dance style that Jimin does.
Every Friday, we get the last two periods off for club activities, personal studying or eating, anything you want to do really, as long as you stay in the school. I've usually just been studying or hanging out with my friends that don't have anything to do, but I recently signed up for dance.
I walked through the hallway with my heart bursting out of my chest. I pushed the giant door with noise cancellation pads stuck onto them with a creak. Thankfully there was no one inside except for one girl who was silently stretching in the corner of the room with headphones in. I went to the other corner after attempting to wave my hand but quickly put it down after she missed it. I wasn't very flexible, mediocre I would say.
I waited while everyone showed up one-by-one. I was changing the song on my phone when I saw a familiar but hostile face walk in through the door that I walked in through a few minutes prior. The girl with acrylics and of course, the hoops, looked at me like I was a piece of chewed gum stuck to her expensive Jordans.
I ignored her and continued to stretch.
The teacher showed and the class started. The hostile girl kept on looking at me then whispering to her little servant and they would cackle together. The time flew by and I felt so amazing afterward, dancing has always made me feel so refreshed. The girl that was first stretching when I walked in was right next to me while we were learning the choreography, I could immediately tell she was amazing, She memorized the advanced dance all in 30 minutes and was, even I could tell, the top of the class.
"We don't have homework here, just try to stretch every day! Have a nice weekend!" The dance instructor said with her relaxing bird-like voice.
I saw the dancer girl speed ahead in front of me in the hallway.
"Hi!"
She turned around at the sound of my voice, looking around clearly thinking that the voice wasn't calling her.
"Me?" She questioned.
"Yes, hi I'm Hana! I just noticed that you're so amazing at dancing and wanted to say hi."
"Oh! Thanks, you were great today too, it was your first time right?"
"Yes, it was tough to keep up but still fun!"
"I'm Sora. I'm actually in your English class."
"Wait really? Nice to officially meet you then. Here's my number, I promise I won't pester you to help me with my dancing." I said. You could hear the smile through the mask I had on because of the pollution in the air today.
"I have to bounce because of practice but I'll catch you later, bye!"
I waved goodbye, feeling so happy to have met yet another kind friend.
