You sprang up from your bed with your hair going every which way as you reached to turn off your hello kitty alarm clock that Zelo gave you on your 16^thbirthday. You rolled out of bed and landed face first on the ground. You slowly and weakly stood up with a groan, ripping the blanket that was tangled off your body.  You ran your fingers through your mane as you walked to the bathroom and closed the door, even though you had no one to kill your privacy, I mean you lived alone. It’s always been like that, when Zelo leaves your premises you are left with nothing but your thoughts and pure emptiness. Though, you grow fond of it considering that time does pass and emotions shed anew as well.

You were ready and dressed at the usual time and you looked out your window, but Zelo wasn’t there, ”Where could that boy be?” you told yourself as you bit your lip and glanced out the window. You looked at the watch on your wrist and it read 7:45 am which meant there was only 15 minute before your first bell rang. It took about 10 minutes to walk to school, so, you didn’t waste any more time and walked out the door.

You passed by several buildings that you recognized but never really got the chance to actually window shop. As you walked passed stores in your direction you kept track of stores and telling yourself that you will bring Zelo there soon. After ten minutes of walking your reached Winsdor Academy. Walking into the building the aroma of whispers filled the air, you knew it was because of you. People had acknowledged over time that you and Zelo have been best friends and always arrived together, so when you walked in by yourself it was really the hot topic. You rolled your eyes and thought about how pathetic this school was. You made it to your locker and waited once you got all of your things, but, you remembered that Zelo wasn’t there. Of course Zelo had missed school before, but he would always tell you a reason why he wasn’t there. Today, there were no messages. You bit your lip when you heard the warning bell ring and proceeded to first period.

You sat at your desk and occasionally looked at the door while taking notes to prepare yourself for the test that was on Friday. Suddenly, the door opened Jungkook? You thought, though it was Zelo and he came in late. You stared at him and thought, What the actual hell? I was waiting for Junhong the whole class period and when it is him I think of Jungkook? You stared at the teacher and back at Zelo. He was dressed neatly, coat buttoned up, tie fixed, hair nicely straightened; He was so different compared to Jungkook.

::::::::

The class ended and it was now passing period, “Where the hell were you Junhong?”

“I woke up late.” He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

You raised your eyebrows, “Woke up late? You are never late, like, ever.”

“Yeah well this time I was.” He walked with your out of class to go to your locker.

You opened your locker and switched out your text books, “Care to explain why?”

“What are you a Seonsaengnim?” You gave him a scowl as you pushed your locker closed, “Okay, I was tired because I forgot that there were new people moving in next door to me. And of course they were the type of people to blast rap music and sick beats at 2 in the morning. I mean, I love rap and you know it, but I love it just as much as I love sleep.”

You laughed and walked to your next class with him, “Well, when we get to my house you can sleep while I study for the English test on Friday.” As you walked to Ms. Cho’s class, you couldn’t help but remember Jungkook walking into the same apartment building that Zelo lived in. Could he be the new neighbor?   

You walked into Ms. Cho’s class and listened to her give her lecture on the topic. You would write notes and then occasionally doodle on the margin of your loose leaf paper. Time flew by and it was now the end of class. You gathered up your things and walked to your locker with Junhong, pushing and nudging him for his horribly corny jokes. You stopped at your locker and got your homemade lunch; you closed your locker and proceeded to the abandoned stairwell with Zelo telling you an unamusing story.

“-and then, Daehyun Hyung ate the cheesecake!”  Zelo held his stomach and howled in laughter.

“That was so funny Junhong.” You told him with as pushed open the door with a poker face. Zelo pouted and poked your face.

“So rude.”

::::::::

You sat down on your favorite ledge with Zelo seated in front of you happily munching on the kimbap that you had prepared for him.

“Do you know what the people who moved in looked like?” You acted as if you didn’t care but, you were really dying to know.

“I think I got a glimpse of them,” He looked at you, “Like a group of six or seven people.” He looked at the ceiling and looked at you, “Yeah there were definitely seven people.  They wore street clothes like, black hoodies, crewnecks, snapbacks, and Jordan’s.”

You nodded your head, Definitely Jungkook, you thought to yourself.

Once you were done eating you and Zelo went to the library to study and mess with the computers. The bell rang and the two of you then rushed to your next class.

After class you went to your locker to get your backpack and go home. You noticed that Jungkook had not come to school today and you thought of possible reasons that boy would miss school. You grabbed your backpack and closed your locker waiting for Zelo to come and pick you up. When you saw him turn the corner you saw a girl next to him. You raised your eyebrows and looked at them. Never, ever has Zelo really socialized with girls other than you, not that you know of. When he neared you he introduced her.

“Haeun-ah, meet Kwon Yoomi.” She sweetly smiled at you, but when she shook your hand, her nails softly dug into the back of your hands. Instinctively, you pulled your hand away and looked at it.

“Is there something wrong, unnie?”

You were still looking at the nail imprints on you hand when you responded, “Don’t call me that.”

“What, unnie.” Yoomi batted her long eye lashes at you.

You looked up and stared at her face, “Don’t call me ‘unnie’, I don’t even know you.”

With that you walked away, leaving Zelo to stay and chat with Yoomi. You looked back at them with your hands on the door, “Is he really going to stay with her?” you scoffed and walked out of school with a scowl on your face. You walked down the alley ways with your hands deep in your pockets. As you neared the basketball court you heard boys howling with laughter and shouts. You glanced over and saw a group of 7; they would occasionally play basketball, blast music, or dance to it. It was quite amusing, that is until one of them spots you. Your eyes widen and you start to fasten your pace. The boy was walking up to you and all you could do was be at least a pace ahead of him. The boy grabbed on to your shoulder which resulted a squeal from you.

“Hello, I couldn’t help but see you watching us. Want to join?” The boy with blondish hair asked.

“No, thank you.” Even though you denied, he pulled you by your wrist towards the group of boys. You tried to resist, but it was no use, he was too strong. Once you reached the group of boys the inspected you like you were some kind of alien. You stared at one boy who had his back turned, he was wearing a black hoodie. He turned around and there he stood Mr. Ditch School on the second day, Jeon Jeongguk.

“Yah, don’t you think that hitting on my hyungs is a little low?”

You furrowed your eyebrows and bit your lip in irritation, Aish, this nigga seriously.
