FLO POV

The article came out and I was bombarded with questions on who my mystery guy was. Handling Minny was fine but the whole school asking me now that was hard.

“Flo is it me that you like?” A random boy approached me. “I like you too!”

“Piss of dude.” Kai said pushing the boy away from me. The two of us were walking back to the room from the library.

“Chill Bro.” the boy said walking away after winking at me.

“take his advice. Calm down.” I said to Kai.

“he was about to shove his face to you.” He answered gritting his teeth.

“Kai not worth the wrinkles.” I said putting my arm through his and poking his cheek fondly. “Stop frowning and smile. I love it when Oppa smiles.”

He sighed and smiled as I requested. My heart flipping is like a normal reaction to me these days.

“Your hair is returning.” He commented. My hair was beginning to return. It was already forming waves.

“I know. Will you miss my straight hair Oppa?”

“Like I said even with a hay stack as hair you’ll look fine.”

“You’re so biased.”

“only for you.”

“gee.. I’m blushing.”

“Should I take a picture?”

“No.”

“It will sell like hot cakes.”

“you’ll sell it?”

“To the highest bidder.”

“Eh..”

“So I can buy that book you wanted.”

“You don’t have to Kai. I can buy it.”

“You promised you will let me buy it for you.”

“Fine fine fine. You’re so stubborn.”

We continued to argue aimlessly until we reached the room.

“There’s Jong-in teacher.” Jess said as we entered the room.

“Oh good. Jong-in you’re requested by the dance teacher to meet him.” Our adviser said.

“Am I excused sir?” He asked as I pull my arm from his grip to go sit on my chair.

“Go ahead.” Our advisor answered with a dismissing hand.

“see yah guys.” He said before going back out.

“I think Kai’s going to represent the school in the annual district dance match.” Minny whispered to me.

“oh.. that’s nice.” I answered.

“Girls no talking in class.” The teacher said in a stern voice spotting us.

“Sorry teacher.” I said grinning sheepishly.

“concentrate on class. Gossip later.” He said smiling.

“Yes teacher.” I answer.

Kai didn’t come back until dismissal time. We met him outside the school main door.

“Hey bro where did you go?” Lay asked him.

“Sorry had to practice right away.” Kai answered. He was dressed in his P.E. uniform and was all sweaty and tired looking.

“What for?” Chen asked.

“The annual district dance competition.”  He answered.

“Wow you were chosen? Nice bro.” Lay answered giving him a high five.

“Thanks. Does anyone have my bag?” He asked.

“Here.” I answered giving it to him.

“thanks Flo.” He said smiling and taking it from me.

“What’s your dance?” Minny asked.

“Ballet.” Kai answered as he chugged water.

“Are you dancing with someone?” Minny asked back.

I frown involuntarily. If Kai is dancing with someone it has to be a girl right?

“A bunch of people but I do have a partner.” Kai answered leaning on the ledge where I was sitting on tugging on the frays of my scarf playfully grinning.

Before he can answer Lee Na Ra appears behind him hugging him.

“Kai Oppa!” She said in her high pitch voice.

“Oh Hi Na Ra.” Kai answered trying to extract himself from her arms. I wanted to help him but I retrained myself.

“You should be used to my arms by now Oppa. After we practiced all afternoon.” Lee Na Ra said trying to look sultry but looked cheap instead.

I raise my brows as Kai looked at me.

“Wait you’re his dancing partner?” Sehun asked.

“Of course. I’m the best girl dancer in school.” Lee Na Ra answered arrogantly. I hate to admit it but she is the best girl dancer in school.

“Please let me go Na Ra.” Kai said and gently pried Lee Na Ra’s arms from him. He was gentle I wanted to take them off their sockets.

Wow. That was a very violent thought right now.

“So Flo has something she can’t do eh. Your lose my gain.” Lee Na Ra said to me.

I didn’t answer her because I just might cuss her.

What does she mean my lost?

“Kai Oppa and I will be spending time practicing. I heard from Coach that it will be a close and touchy dance routine.” She said to Kai holding his arm grinning.

“That’s great. I hope you win.” I said jumping down from the ledge. “I forgot something in the room. Excuse me.” I said and walked away before I act on the violent thoughts swirling in my head.

Why didn’t I learn to dance when I had the time?

Days passed and Kai was mostly absent from class since he was given a pass to practice. He even had to bail out of our plans for his birthday.

I should be happy for h
