I walked out of the canteen, feeling a little disappointed that i dimmed the sunshine vibe of the cheery boy i just met today. I mean, I could have reacted better. I felt so bad about myself. The buses were leaving for dispersal, and i saw Hobi climb into his. 

say goodbye to me atleast.

I started to walk towards the main entrance of the school, where mom was supposed to pick me up from. I went some distance and then hear someone call out my name. It was Namjoon.

I felt strange, but then he handed me a note. "Hobi said sorry if you became sad or anything, but you could join us this evening and hang out with us if you would like"  the chit of paper had an address written on it.

"alright, i'll see" and Namjoon ran off to catch his bus too. It was a nice handwriting, let's see if mom allowed me in the evening. She was working like an ox in the fields, and i didn't want to show her that i am being irresponsible about anything, especially hanging out with people that i just met.

"hi, i'm sorry if i'm late" mom said, pulling up her car next to the side walk where i was standing. I smiled at her, "no, you aren't late at all, thank you!" i said.

"how was your day? I hope people didn't ignore you!" mom laughed.

"I made new friends, in fact, a bunch of them! there is Hobi, Namjoon, Taehyung, Yoongi, Jungkook...." i started

"woah, that is a good start!" mom exclaimed, "but dont make too large a friend circle, a few friends are good enough"

"they didn't even make me feel that i was unfamiliar with the place! I'm happy!"

"i'm happy that you are happy." mom said, and we turned to the lane where our new home was. I got out of the car and just as she was about to drive away, i stopped her, remembering something.

"heyyy mommm!" she rolled down her window, "do you mind if I could hang out with some friends this evening, they said they could help me catch up with school work" i lied.

Mom didn't hesitate for a second. "well, okay- it will help you bond with them, so fine." she gave me the permission. yesss!

I went into my house and plunked down on the sofa. i tried doing some reading and catching up with what was done at school after i changed from my uniform. somewhere, i was really excited to meet my new friends after school.

the evening set in, i changed into an overall with a white tee, and adjusted my messy hair and popped a beanie. i tied the laces of my converse on the front porch of the house and skipped out of the neighborhood with the piece of paper on which the address was written. it wasn't quite far away luckily, just two lanes away from my place.

i reached the front of a small house, almost the same size as mine, and before i could proceed to ring the bell, i heard shouting and screaming from the backyard. 

I didn't want to invade the privacy of the house, but then anyways i walked around the house and saw all seven of them enjoying a game of basketball. 

"Pass jimin, pass!" Namjoon shouted, waving his hands in the air.

"hello guys!" I said, and they stopped their game.

"Hiii!" a collective sound said. 

"oh finally, now we can make equal teams!" Seokjin said, standing up from the corner in which he was sitting. i chuckled.

"i'm not very sure if i am good at it..." i said nervously.

"no excuses huh" Hobi laughed. oh thank god he is back to what he was. i've seen people who get stuck onto one topic for days and it has just been a couple hours and he has moved on without even taking it on his ego. 

"alright, so me, hobi, miya and jin at one side" Namjoon said, "and jungkook, tae, yoongi and jimin on the other side...fair enough?" we all nodded.

"and kookie, no cheating! this is an order by jin- your handsome hyung!" Jin said, and we all laughed at his comment. 

the game started, namjoon grabbed the ball and passed it to Hobi, who dribbled across our side of the court and then passed it to namjoon again, who scored.

Jin muttered something in korean, causing everyone to laugh out loud again this time. i stood, clueless. "he said, yeah yeah, you both are the only ones in the team, right?" taehyung translated for me, and i giggled too.
