Breaking Out // Gahmi

Ten

Dami PoV

I woke up with the sunshine on my face. Slowly I opened my eyes and looked around, trying to determine where I was. I looked up to find Yoohyeon sleeping peacefully and slightly snoring. I realised I was clinging onto something, so I looked down to find a book in my arms. It was Gahyeons book, again. Probably I fell asleep yesterday while reading it. Had I slept the whole night cuddled up to it?

So basically I had spent the whole weekend reading it. It was really good and I was honestly enjoying it a lot. Usually romance isn't really a genre I'm into, but for some reason I was fine with this book. And while reading it I also kept on imagining how Gahyeon had probably read it. How she was sitting at her huge window, tugged into a blanket and completely lost in the book. Or maybe she had read it at school, in the library, hiding away from everyone. Honestly a million scenarios popped into my mind and all of them made me feel oddly warm inside.

Which also led me to wonder about her again. For some reason her room and everything I had found in it doesn't quite fit the girl, who is walking around with Handong bullying people. But now that I think about it, I actually had never seen her bullying anyone herself. She was still the girl, who was throwing a party at her house though. I don't know, somehow this is making my head real fuzzy.

But most of all, reading also gave me a solid excuse to be ignoring Yoohyeon over the weekend. Since the party we haven't really talked to each other about what had happened. I kind of went out of her way, avoiding talking about it at all cost. I'm not sure if I'm ready yet. Especially when I haven't even made sense of it myself.

Wait... Weekend! Shit! Today is Monday (I think. Reading usually makes me lose track of time real bad.), which also means we have to go back to school. So why am I still lying in bed, when the sun is already up? As much as I don't want to get up out of bed, I really can't be late. I have never been late to school (although it was really close a few times before).

I glanced at the clock on Yoohyeons nightstand. School started in 15 minutes! Damn! We could still make it in time if we hurried (not one of Yoohyeons specialties though).

Hurriedly I got up and tried to wake Yoo, but she was still lying there half dead. She sleeps like a rock, there really is no waking her up. So instead I ran into the bathroom, trying to get ready as quick as possible. Screw hair. All I did was brush my teeth and then ran back out, trying to wake Yoohyeon again.

"Come on! You got to wake up! We'll be late!" I tried calling to her.

"Hmpf. One more minute."

"No. Please, get up. I don't want to be late." I tried again, this time slightly shaking her.

"Alright, alright." she finally got up, nt without sticking her tongue out to me. "You can be such a nerd sometimes."

"Says you!"

With an insane amount of calmness she got out of bed and trotted towards the bathroom. Could she be any slower. I knew she was not a morning person. But desperate times, desperate measures. I slipped into the bathroom with her and started adjusting her hair while she brushed her teeth.

"We are going to be late, Yoo. The semester just started and I really don't want to get on any bad sides of our teachers. So please hurry a little!" I pleaded.

"I don't want to be late either. But I need to get ready first." she said, while getting her makeup stuff out.

I slapped it out of her hands. "There is no time for that. School literally starts in ten minutes!"
