Another week of school passed and overall, classes were going well. To make things even better, I became a lot closer with Luhan and Lay, although I was quite bummed that Kris focused less on me and more on his...well, friends - but I what I really meant to call them was stalkers.

Maybe I was just jealous that they spent more time with my best friend than I did. But I shouldn’t have a double standard because I was, indeed, spending more time with Luhan.

“Yeah, do you want to?”

“Heh, no one would do it with me,” I chuckled, “Oh! You and Lay should do it again this year since I didn’t get to see it last year!”

“Nah, others should have a chance,” he chortled.
