It felt like a normal day. 

It was Friday. 

Yay.

Huh. 

I'm sure you can sense my sarcasm.

My walk to school was worse than I could have imagined.

It felt lonely. 

It felt sad.

It felt different.

I felt stuck.

Stuck in life.

With nowhere to go. 

No place to belong.

My parents had gone for a business trip to America for two weeks.

My best and only friend now has a girlfriend and was too busy. At least that's what it seems like.

Maybe I was too selfish.

Maybe I felt too safe with where I was.

My finger hesitated and hovered above my phone. 

His number was right there, all ready for me to call. 

Convenient.

And yet in the end, I turned and stuffed the phone in my school blazer pocket.

I arrived at school earlier than usual. 

Nothing was the same anymore.

I drearily unlocked my locker and started piling my books inside. 

When finished I closed it and unconsciously sighed heavily, my hand leaning on the metal door.

THUD.

I banged my head on the door. 

THUD.

THUD.

What was I doing.

What was I doing?

Good question.

A question  I don't know how to answer.

Don't you ever get those days when your emotions only circulate and never get anywhere.

Call me tied up and obsessive.

But he was my best friend.

We spent the best moments of our lives together. 

"Hey."

I jumped at the sudden sound from behind. 

When I turned I saw a girl holding out a soft teddy key ring. 

It was my first gift.

"You dropped it just now."

Her voice seemed monotone but somehow I did not feel scared.

"Thank you," I smiled as I took it gently from her hands.

As the girl started walking away, it suddenly dawned to me.

She was that girl's sister. 

Apparently due to some personal things she had been held back in school and therefore she was older than most of the kids at school.

I shivered.

Goosebumps.

I should probably stay away from her.

I grunted disagreeably when the "delinquent" sat beside me.

I mean I was happy that I didn't have to deal with Myungsoo but still...

We didn't talk.

Especially since have of the time I was glancing over at him and her.

I could tell that he was questioning.

Wondering why.

But call me ignorant.

I just couldn't tell him about my secret.

I didn't know how anyway.

The moment the bell rang, I ran out the door with my bag.

But then I remembered.

It made no difference.

We had all our classes together.

And I just realized.

That included her.

Let's ditch class. 

I blinked.

Shocked at my own thoughts.

Even if I wasn't the best student, I would have never try or even think of this.

But at this moment, I didn't want to do anything.

I felt like I was overreacting.

I mean I can't blame him, and even if I hate the reality, neither could I blame her.

She was just as innocent.

Before I knew it I was in my favourite milk tea shop, sipping away one after another cup.

I was pretty sure that I had spent more money than I had ever in my whole life.

After feeling like I wanted to vomit, I returned home and slept like a child.

That was a bad idea.

Everything was a bad idea but especially sleeping.

I dreamt that Myungsoo got married with her.

And I was the best man.

Wow.

As you can imagine, I woke up feeling even worse. 

I looked at my watch.

I let out a gasp as I tried to find my phone.

It was 6:00pm.

It was time for my tuition.

I could miss school but I couldn't miss those lessons, I knew they cost a fortune.

I grabbed my bag and quickly locked the door before darting to the nearest bus stop. 

By the time I arrived it was already 6:40.

Whilst I tried my best to sneak in to take an empty seat at the very back.

I still got caught.

"Lee Jieun-sshi."

I blinked hard before facing the teacher.

I smiled slightly before taking a low bow, hoping that it was enough to redeem myself.

But being the stupid person that I was, of course it didn't. 

"You'll stay behind and properly complete 2 hours.'

Whilst my mind exploded with frustration.

I responded with a reluctant nod before sitting down.

I lazily placed my books and necessary items on the table.

Whilst the teacher ranted on and on, I looked at my phone.

My eyes widened.

To my surprise.

My parents' had called me.

I felt my face slightly burn when I saw Myungsoo's number as well. 

Even the "delinquent" had called me once. 

I clicked on a message he had sent later on.

Huh.

What a bossy person.

If anyone, it had to be him that would be on time.

BRRRRR.

I dropped my phone on my books causing a slight thud that I was surprised was not heard by the teacher.

It was him.

I had thought that he would be here.

He was suppose to be at least.

Suddenly images of him and her eating and laughing together entered my mind.

I immediately shut off my phone and started to study.

At least tried to.

There were too many distractions.

And yes, he was definitely one of them. 

There was a message.

For a second I sat there surprised that he was no t with his girlfriend.

Despite much conflict I finally sent a short message:

As if,  I thought begrudgingly. 

Honestly if I wasn't at class, I would have probably thrown my phone on the ground, but thankfully I still have some kind of maturity.  

I hesitated.

What should I say?

Did I really want to meet up with him?

That meant that I couldn't complete our assignment with that guy. 

I could cancel that.....

But I could cancel this as well.

After all what help would this be to me?

Boy am I stuck.

Badly stuck.

And the worse thing is that I am sinking.

I don't know what I am doing.
