Parallel Lines
At lunch, Amber quickly dragged me away from my classroom at full speed muttering something I couldn’t quite understand.
“Wait Amber, what did you say?” I asked her,
She sighed, “Sorry, Chen uh… told his friends about you and he was going to come drag you to sit with them… I sort of saved you,”
“Saved me?” I raised an eyebrow, “What are his friend’s leaches?”
She snorted, “Maybe, they’re the popular guys of the school but some of them are so damn annoying,”
“Oh right,” I nodded in understanding, “Thank you for saving me,”
“Let’s go get lunch before he finds us,” she dragged me down a hall way which opened up into a giant hall, “Hot or packed?”

Kris smiled at me, “Well it’s nice to see a pretty new face,”
“Thanks?” I muttered.
A figure suddenly sat down between Xiumin and Tao, a figure that made me freeze in my seat at the mere sight of him. Of all the schools, in all of Korea, he had to be at this one, it was as if fate was on my side after all, and suddenly I was really glad that I was caught that day.

Luhan looked up at me and widened his eyes in surprise, “New… girl?”
“Luhan?” I half whispered,
Xiumin frowned, “Have
