Stephanie POV

Baekhyun returned a moment later with Kris and I stiffened. They looked down at Chanyeol,

“What’d you do to him? Slam a door in his face?” Kris smirked and I sniffed,

“No. I save that honor only for you.” And with that I turned and walked away, leaving them to deal with Chanyeol.

Kris POV

Shoot!

Shoot, shoot, shoot!

She hates me.

She has to hate me now.

Why Kris!

Why!

Why are you such a jerk!?!?

I sighed and stopped berratting myself.

No. Stop it.

Things can only get better now, right?

Right?

Wrong.

I sat down to take a break. Sitting on one of the tables was a phone. I had no clue whose phone it was, but it suddenly started beeping like crazy. I had this major headache and it was driving me crazy. After two calls, I was sick of it. Once the third round of beeping and buzzing started I picked it up,

“Yobusseyo?!” I figured that the odds that the person was Korean were greatest.

“What?” A guy asked in English. I faltered,

“Oh, uh. Sorry. Hello?”

“Who are you?”

“I’m Kris…”

“Why are you answering Stephanie’s phone?” Oh shoot! Stephanie! This is Stephanie’s!? “Hello? Answer me.” I shook my head,

“Oh. Yeah. Sorry. Um, I’m a… friend. She left her phone here, so I answered it.” The guy made some obnoxious scoffing noise,

“Her friend? Whatever. Tell her to call me.”

“…And who are you?”

“I’m Dennis. Her boyfriend.” My heart sank.

Seriously? She has a freaking boyfriend? What the heck!?!? WHY!!!!????

“Fine.” And with that I shut the phone and tossed it on the table.

I most definatly won’t be telling her to call him.

I continued to sit there with my arms crossed over my chest. I was trying to think things through and tell myself that I can’t like her. She has a boyfriend and I need to get over it. Or I could somehow break them up… Nah, that’s cruel… But otherwise it’s cruel for me… UGH! I HATE THIS!!! Suddenly Stephanie appeared before me,

“Uh… Hi. Have you, uh, seen a phone here…?” She asked. I looked up at her and glared. I didn’t mean to, it just kinda happened. “Oh, um… Nevermind?” She started to leave,

“Wait,” She stopped and I tossed her the phone. She smiled, “Thanks!” I remained silent and started at the carpet. She lingered for a moment before walking away with a confused look on her face.

Everytime after that, when Stephanie tried to innitiate any sort of contact with me, I avoided it. I avoided her like the plague. She would enter a room, I would leave. She would come over to talk to Nina and Lay; I would make some lame excuse and run away. I was trying to forget her somehow. I know I had barely known her, but I didn’t want to get anymore attatched than I had already grown.

The next couple of days passed like this. Finally, she cornered me,

“What’s your problem? Whenever I come near you, you run away. And when we do talk, you’re a complete jerk! What the heck! What did I ever do to you?!” I didn’t want to answer. This was all wrong. I hadn’t wanted to seem this way, but I wanted to distance myself from her. “Fine. Don’t answer. You know what? Just continue with your little game. I don’t care if you talk to me. I’m better off. Just… stay away from me.” My pride got the best of me, and I said something that I immediately regretted,

“Gladly.”
