If love is just one word, then why does it hurt if it isn't there?

-Sabaku No Gaara from Naruto Shippuden

Beep. Beep! BEEP!

Slap. Thump. Crash!

Ri Rin raised her hand and grudgingly silenced the alarm clock, effectively killing it in the process. The alarm fell off the side table and met it's death as it face-planted onto the floor. She grumbled as she stretched and rubbed her eyes, mentally reminding herself to buy a new alarm clock. Slipping on her fluffy bunny slippers, she made her way to the bathroom to get ready for the day. The cold air in the bathroom made her shiver as she squeezed some toothpaste onto her toothbrush and made sure to scrub every inch of her teeth.

She turned the tap and sat under the shower head, using the shampoo and liquid soap provided. All her school items has been prepared by her last night, knowing that she wouldn't want to wake up early the next morning. The rush of the water made her slip into a deep thought, thinking of her first day of school. She couldn't deny the exciting feeling of being able to use her powers among other students and also learn of other types of existing abilities. The distant sound of knocking jolted her from her reverie. 

Totally forgetting that she was not in her own home and in fact at a dorm, Ri Rin carelessly wrapped a fluffy white towel around her body. It reached her upper thigh, and barely covered her cleavage. Slipping on her bunny slippers, she hurriedly made her way to the door; careful not to slip on the water puddle that she left in her wake. Unlocking the door, she expected one of the maids sent to accompany her throughout school mornings, but who she saw was the complete opposite. In fact, it was a male. A very, very tall and red in the face male.

He tried looking at her face but found it incredibly difficult as she was only wearing a piece of cloth. Finally, he swallowed and stared her in the eye, totally ignoring the rest. "I- Uh...I'm here to help you around school," He shifted from his left to right foot. Ri Rin gaped, clutching her hands around the towel and slightly hiding behind the door. "I'll just...wait he-" She instantly pulled the door open and gestured him to come in, finally having found her voice, "No, please come in, I'll just be a sec."

He entered and patiently waited on the couch, staring at his feet the whole time. Ri Rin hurriedly flew around the room, quickly taking her clothes and putting in on. Slipping on her converse, she grabbed her schoolbag and made her way to the living room where her tour guide is. She looked at him, waiting for a response as he continued gazing at his shoes unaware of her presence. She coughed, gaining his attention, "I'm ready."

He nodded and they left after she securely locked the door. They stayed silent, neither not knowing what to talk of after the earlier incident. He finally spoke up, the tension becoming too unbearable, "You're Ri Rin, right?" She nodded, peeking at him from the corner of her eyes. "And you?" She asked, wondering what his name is. He has light blonde hair that rivalled the sunbeam and had a lanky but sturdy physique. He looked at her, confused by her question. "What?"

"Your name..."

"It's Sehun, Oh Sehun." He answered and Ri Rin found herself wondering what to say next. "So...how old are you?" She questioned, wondering if she is the youngest of the whole student body. He finally faced her, "I'm sixteen, my birthday's on twelfth of April." Her face lightened and she beamed at him, "I'm sixteen too, but my birthday's on seventh of June...which means, you're my oppa!" She exclaimed and bumped her hips with the flustered boy who was delighted to be known as her 'oppa'. Sehun stumbled a little but regained his posture as Ri Rin apologised for being to brash to which he replied- "It's fine," and proceeded to return her gesture of 'hip bumping'. 

They finally arrived at the cafeteria and Ri Rin noticed that a few of the other students were missing but joined the group and sat at the end of the table between Xiumin and Suho. They both smiled at her and helped her take a plate filled with bacon, eggs and a slice of toast. She instantly dug in, having only a chocolate bar for dinner yesterday and was glad that the cafeteria offered unlimited breakfast. 

The door of the cafeteria burst open and in came one of the boys she remembered during her accidental encounter in the gathering room. He was tall and took long strides with a cap that's worn backwards, hiding his messy, spiked black hair. He took a seat facing her and noticed the girl and instantly grinned. "Why hello there, fancy seeing you here," He teased and Ri Rin quickly downed her orange juice. He took a plate and began piling it with dozens of bacon and a scoop of scrambled egg. "The name's Chen, and you must be Ri Rin, am I right?" She nodded, pushing her plate aside.

mShe noticed his T-shirt had a unique symbol that read Exo and a wolf behind it and felt interested with it's simple but awesome design. Chen caught her staring and glanced down at his shirt, smirking at her as she tried to pretend like she hadn't been staring, "You like it? I've always been into wolves..."

She murmured an "Oh..." and replied, "I also like wolves. I think they're quite...sensuous. I also like foxes, especially after watching Naruto Shippuden​."

All the males at the table turned red at her bold opinion and Chen cleared his throat, "You watch animes?" She nodded, grinning in interest, "Yeah, I love Naruto the most." 

He felt ecstatic to know that the new girl is beautiful, smart and also has an addiction to Japanese entertainment, he wondered if she likes playing video games. "You enjoy playing video games?" 

"Yup! I mostly stick to playing Warrior Orochi and DCUO," She responded, and he grinned. "I have almost all of the Naruto collection and I also play DCUO, you wanna' tag along sometimes?" 

Ri Rin shrugged, "Sure." 

Suho turned to Ri Rin, stuffing his last piece of toast into his mouth, "So, what's your schedule?" 

She sifted through her bag trying to find the piece of paper that had her timetable. She flipped the folded paper open and read it out loud- "Physics, chemistry, biology, calculus and advanced math, art, English and literature, French, Economics and P.E."

The new arrivals; Chanyeol, a tall guy with messy ombre hair and his friend, also tall and possess jet black hair, they gaped at her though the one with ombre hair hid it as soon as the expression crossed his handsome features. Suho stared at her, shocked to the bones at how smart she really is, and to take up that much classes?! Is she sane? Her bag must be heavy with all that book but luckily, Scarcrest Academy provides colossal lockers.

Chanyeol stood up and walked towards where Ri Rin sat and tapped her on the shoulder, and when she turned a round, he gently tugged onto her sleeves, silently asking that she stands up. He looked around the room and placed a huge and heavy arm on her shoulder, "Guys, as you all know, this is my future wife, Ri Rin," He declared, his eyes twinkling with mischief. 

A guy that she remembered from her previous encounter snickered and said- "Keep dreaming! We all know that with your ridiculously loud snoring, the only wife you'll ever get is your pillow." 

Chanyeol released Ri Rin from his deadly grasp and tackled the other male, "Watch it Baekhyun. At least I snore, unlike someone I know who always leave giant drool marks on his bed!" They both continued to banter like two year old children but Suho stopped their disagreement, saving everyone in the room from losing the ability to hear. 

Suho turned to the eleven guys and pointed to each of them, saying their names and each of them nodding their heads in her direction, "That's Kris, Chanyeol, Luhan, Kai, Tao, Baekhyun, Lay and D.O and I'm sure you know Chen, Xiumin and Sehun." She nodded, smiling to the rest of schoolmates. 

The bell rang and all of them stood up making their way to the exit and Ri Rin followed, walking beside Chen and Sehun. They reached the building responsible for their classes and Chen asked, "What's your first lesson?" 

"P.E." She replied after reading her timetable. He grinned and patted her back, "Well then, you better get changing cause' P.E is with all of us." The group continued walking until they reached the changing rooms, the female's on the right while the male's on the left.

Suddenly, one of them came up to her, Kai and said, "If you get scared in the female's changing room, you can always change with us." He finished with a smirk and took off with a sprint as the others gathered around her either smirked or chuckled and snickered. She found herself turning red, half attempting to throw her shoes at Kai, making sure it hits between his legs but knew that it wasn't worth it as she left to change. 

The changing room was cold and very quiet as she was the only one there, even so it didn't look haunted. Big windows with blinds allowed massive amount of sunlight, lighting up the place. Red lockers are lined neatly in rows and changing stall, toilets and showers are present. Unlocking the her locker, she took the plain P.E uniform and slipped it on, admiring it's softness.

As she stepped out of the changing room, Ri Rin found herself smirking evilly as she saw the others coming out of the male changing room with the P.E uniforms on.

'I hope we're playing something violent today cause' I sure as heck will show these guys just how strong I am!'

And that was how the guys found themselves making their way to the nurse's office.
