Time passed really fast. It was already the second day of the new year and class starts tomorrow. I decided to get new stationaries as mine are all quite old to be used. I got permission from my mum and I got to the town by the bus. All I'll need is a new note book, some ball point pens because gel ink pen and some sticky notes. I am quite anxious about my results for the final exams last year because I felt like I didn't have enough revisions as I'm having more of my attention on something else and because I felt like the questions are quite difficult for me. 

(And if you're wondering if anything special happened to me during New year or new year eve, no. Nothing happened. No messages, no nothing. I think we've became distant. Just like how we were before.) 

Just as the bus stopped, I hopped out from it after I've scanned my student card on the scanner. "Thank you, Mr. Driver!" I said to the bus driver and he waved back at me. Then I walked myself towards the stationary shop and was really annoyed to see that it was very crowded. "I am so unlucky today." I sighed to myself and walked in. 

I managed to walk through all the crowds from the entrance. As I was picking up what I need from my list, an unexpected person came to me and said, "Hey Ara, it's been a while." 

It was Minho. It's been a really long while since we last talked. He was there with a girl which I assumed it was his new girlfriend because I don't remember seeing her at school and it wasn't the one saw when I caught him making out with. To think about it now, I'm kind of happy that I'm not with him anymore. He's such a player. He was smirking at me though I didn't pay any attention to him which caused him to yell at me. "YAH, Kim Ara, who do you think you are to ignore me? Don't you remember that we used to share some history together too?" I continued to ignore him and do my own thing. 

I walked myself to the notebooks shelf, wanting to get away from him and to get everything done so that I could take my leave already. As if he's too stupid to see that I'm trying my best to pretend that I didn't know him. "Yah, Kim Ara. Where's Jongin? I heard that he likes you, is that true?" 

I looked at him and said, "Even if it's true, it's none of your business too." I guess this made him surprised because I've never answered him back. I guess he's angry too, which caused him to come closer to me and held my wrist so hard that made me flinched. 

Within few seconds, I was surprised to see Minho being laid down on the floor and there was a slight wound on his jaw. Then I looked to my right to see a boy at my age, glaring at him. "If she doesn't want to go with you, then let go of her!" The boy said. He then walked towards me and asked, "Are you alright? Does it still hurt?" I just shook my head and thanked him. I was still amazed and shocked so that I didn't ask for his name but he looks kinda cute, and somehow he looks like the main character from a manga.

I went to school earlier than usual because it's the first day of school so I'm worried that I couldn't get a good seat since I have eye problems. I hopped on the bus and took a seat at the very end, took out my earphones and start to listen to my favorite songs. I think everything's back to usual, like how it was before Jongin came. I closed my eyes, trying to take a short nap on my way to school, to only got interuptted by the sudden brake of the bus. I looked up to see that there were students coming in. Most of them were from other schools, I know because they're wearing uniforms different from ours but there's this one boy who stands out because I've never seen him but yet he looked familiar. I don't remember seeing him in school but why is he wearing our school uniform? Could he be a new student? Yes, it could be. 

He walked towards the back and came to sit next to me. "Is there anyone sitting here?" He asked. I shook and he smiled at me. Oh, I remember him. He was the one who helped me to get away from Minho. He was the boy who looked like someone from the manga. No wonder he looked so familiar! 

It took about twelve minutes to arrive at school. I reluctantly got down from the bus and walked into the school lobby where I always meet up the Minah. When I was almost there, something grabbed me by my arm and I turned back to find it was the boy from the bus. It was weird but he has the same touch as Jongin. Warm and tender. Curiously, I arched one of my brows and asked him, "Is there anything I could help you with?" 

"Uhm yes, do you mind telling me where is the administration block?" He asked while smiling. 

I smiled back and nodded. "Sure. Since I had nothing to do and it's still early." 

On our way to the block, he stated, "You haven't introduced yourself yet?" I turned to look at him again and he looked funny now. Probably because he looked shy. He looked just like Jongin, when we first talked and when we took our first selfie.

"Ara, Kim Ara." I said and stretched out my hand, wanting to shake hands with him. As I was curious, I
