I blinked tiredly as I gazed out the classroom window. It had started storming half an hour after our detention started and if it hadn’t been for the detention, I would’ve been able to avoid the rain and get home. Now I was going to have to walk to and wait at the bus stop in the pouring cold rain.

“Shoot, shoot!” I looked back over at Tao and Sehun who were playing basketball with a balled up piece of notebook paper and the waste bin. Tao went for a dunk, but Sehun’s skinny arm blocked it. In annoyance, Tao slapped a hand across his friend’s back earning a wince and a loud slap back.

“Don’t be a sore loser,” Sehun grumbled, ending the little game as he sat back at his desk on my left. He massaged the shoulder Tao hit before glancing over at me. “Why so grumpy, chubs?” he asked with a blank face.

“Don’t be a sore loser, Oh Sehun!” Tao shouted, the sound of chairs sliding on the floor following his words. “Ha! I won, deal with it! Now you have to treat me to dinner.”

“One more round and, if I win, you treat me and we go to your place and play games,” Sehun demanded. Tao agreed and a few minutes later there were loud shouts echoing in the room. “Don’t forget to tell them to hold the cucumbers,” Sehun said cockily.

Tao grumbled under his breath. “Of course, wouldn’t want the prince to croak out during dinner because of his stupid allergy.”

I squeezed my eyes shut, wishing they would just
