Chapter 12
I'm a genius... right?Back to school.
How long has it been?
Years? Months?
Nah. Just a day.
But who would notice? I’m just a small blade of grass in this vast field of colourful flowers. No one would notice if I was plucked out. The valley would still remain as beautiful as it was even without me there.
I strolled into school, again just like my expectations like a ghost before seeing a familiar blob of hair. As usual, my heart warmed into mush upon seeing his face and I might have a teensy weensy crush on him because he was the first to ever talk to me voluntarily but I mean who wouldn’t. He’s kind, sweet although annoying at times but I find that quality endearing.
“Jungkook!”
Waving my hand frantically, I immediately tore down my curtain of invisibility, spreading me vulnerable to the gazes that bore into me. I mentally facepalmed myself for letting my feelings taking control but seeing as everyone is expecting me to do something (even Jungkook), I picked up my remaining shreds of pride I had left, and walked towards him with all the confidence I could muster (which wasn’t all that much).

Seriously, what douchebags I don’t know maybe he sees something in them. Maybe they have this endearing trait that I must be blind because I can’t see. But I’m going to give them the benefit of doubt. I mean Jungkook hangs out with them voluntarily (I think it’s a thing) so they must have something right.
Right when I got into their metre radius, they abruptly stopped whatever conversation they were having and added another 10 to the list of people current staring at me. They all looked at me, expecting me to get on with it but it seems like my voice was stuck in my throat because I couldn’t seem to say anything. I coughed awkwardly, trying to get rid of that lump in my throat before finally I got my voice back and managed to stutter out a weak “Hi”
Cue the boisterous laughter. I squeezed my eyes in embarrassment while clenching the hems of my blouse. Among that chorus of laughter, I hear Jungkook’s snickers? I peeked through a little slit, I made for myself, and saw Jungkook laughing along with his friends at me.
Hold on. My e
