*lunch time*

After apologizing again to Suho for like I don’t know the millionth time, I grabbed my bag and walked out to the foyer

“Ya!”

I turned around to receive a slap to the face

“Are you CRAZY?”

I looked at the girl who slapped me only to receive another slap and a punch in the stomach, I fell to the ground wincing in pain, and the girl that slapped me grabs me by the collar and brings me close to her face

“You hurt oppa again, and I’ll kill you”

She lets go of me and walks away, I grab my stomach and stand up. Who was that? I dusted myself off and walked off to a nearby tree and sat down on the chair, looking up at the sky and watching the clouds. What’s wrong with that chick? I rub my cheeks and open my bag grabbing out a water bottle. I lean my head against the tree and I take in the breeze as it blows past. Ah this reminds me of him. I wonder how he is. I close my eyes and picture his smiling face. Ahh just remembering my life back then……… huh

*flashback*

“Princess, you coming?”

I look up and see him jumping up and don’t

“Ya, Im not a princess!”

He bends down and grabs my hands whisking me onto his back

“You are to me”

*End of flashback”

I wonder if he has forgotten about me, the pabo. I sigh and close my eyes once more, drifting off to sleep

“Ya! You can’t sleep during school hours”

I look up to see who interrupted my sleep and I see Luhan standing in front of me. He smiles and waves and sits down next to me.

“So how is your first day?”

“Alright, I just got beat up by some pyscho chick so it’s super” I say waving my arms in a sarcastic motion.

“What?! By who?”

“I don’t know”

“Are you ok?”

He put his hands on my forehead and looked me up and down, I move away from his touch and nod. Im not use to this kind of ….. Feeling … you know being looked after and having …. Friends cause I’m always alone.

“Yeah im ok, Ive had worse” I mean really

He chuckles and ruffles my hair “Judging by that lift you gave to Suho I wouldn’t be surprised”

“Im so sorry, I told him to let go”

“Hahaa, its ok”

I smiled and leaned my head back “Ahhh, this school is interesting”

“It sure is”

We sat there in silence and continued to watch the clouds float by. Then I looked down and saw that he had brought a guitar with him.

“Is that a guitar?”

“Ne”

“May I?”

“Sure” He grabs his guitar out of his bag and hands it to me “you play?”

“A little, my dad taught me when I was little and I had a close friend who bought me my first guitar”

I grabbed the guitar and started to play

“I know this song?”

“You do? Can you sing?”

“Lying beside you here in the dark
feeling your heat beat with mine
softly you whisper, your so sincere how could our love be so blind?”

I stopped playing and he looked at me

“Wow, you have a beautiful voice”

“Gomawo, I try”

“Shall I continue?” he nods and I continue playing while he sings

“We sailed out together
we drifted apart and here you are by my side”

He looks at me indicating that he wants me to sing now, I haven’t sung ever since Mum and Dad were here, so I don’t know …. But sitting next to Luhan I felt unafraid, not worried so I started to sing and Luhan joined in harmonizing

“So now I come to you with open arms
nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
hoping you’ll see what your love means to me
open arms”

“You have a beautiful voice yourself”

I look down and stop playing, then lean my head back on the tree “Ahh it’s been a while”

“Jinjja?”

“Mm …. I haven’t sung since ……. My parents died”

Then the most unexpected thing happened, Luhan embraced me in a hug and tightened his grip around me, I don’t know why but tears started flowing down my face.

“Shhhh it’s ok”

“You pabo, what did you do to me?”

He pulls back slightly and looks at me confused, I wipe away my tears and punch him softly on the arm

“I haven’t cried in ages”

“A girl who doesn’t cry? You are special” he laughs and ruffles my hair. The bell goes and I get up dusting myself off before looking down at Luhan

“Gomawo, for making me feel welcomed”

He nods “gwaenchana, what are friends for?”

“Friends?”

He stands up and holds out his hand

“Ne, friends”

I accepted his hand and smiled. I haven’t had a friend in a long time. Maybe coming to this school was a good thing after all.
