Seren POV 

A couple weeks went by without my knowing as I got a new job and was on a search for an apartment in the city. I haven't gone back to see Su yet but I plan to do that today. Along with going there, it was also the first day back to the money place called school. I should be working when I'm forced to be at school, the only bright side to the whole school thing was seeing my best friends, Krystal and Jieun. They are really the only reason I like to go to school. 

I walked to campus that was not far from my brothers school and looked around for the familiar face. I saw Krystal's familiar brown hair first and then her bright smile as she saw me. She screamed and ran at me with her arms wide open. I guess you could say that I wasn't the most outgoing in the group. Before we said anything else Jieun popped up behind up with her cheeky smile and hugged us both. I'm not exactly sure how I ended up friends with two girls that are more outgoing and prettier than me but here we are. 

"So how was America?" I said to Krystal first. She just smiled and her face got all red as she thought about it. I glanced at Jieun and smiled as we both jumped on her to find out who this mystery guy was. "Okay, what's his name?" I said laughing at my friend who was flustered to death. 

"Is he cute? Do we have to beat him up for you?" Jieun said as she cracked her knuckles. We all knew that if we were going to beat anyone up, that I would be the one doing as they watched. 

"His name is Yoongi. He is adorable, and sweet. I won't get to see him for awhile though... He's in a band, so we can only call and text." She said rubbing her cheeks to stop the redness that had formed. She looked so flustered that I couldn't help but laugh. "Now how about you Jieun? How was Hawaii?" I couldn't help but be jealous of my friends as they probably had the best summers of their lives and I had the worst one yet.

"Yeah, did you soak up the sun rays?" Krystal asked. I couldn't help but this that was a dumb question as it is Hawaii, not Alaska so of course she soaked up sunlight.

"Really, Krystal. Did you really ask that question?" I said stifling the laughter inside me. She looked at me with pouty eyes.

"What its a reasonable question." She whined to me. I burst out into laughter. 

"It was awesome. I loved it there!" Jieun gushed as we walked to the board that held our room assignments. None of us wanted to be separated but the teachers liked to pull names out of their hats and put them in random classrooms. I smiled at Jieun as she gushed about the views from the volcanos, the white sand and beautiful boys around her. 

"How about yours,Seren? You and your family do anything fun?" They both asked simultaneously that it was almost scary. I of course had to lie my way out of this one so they didn't find out. 

"Of course we didn't. You know my parents are workaholics. I was lucky to leave the house," I joked with them. They both laughed not shocked with this response. I think they could tell that something was wrong with me because they didn't laugh like usual but knew better not to ask. We walked the rest of the way in silence afraid of where we will end up. 

The board was finally in front of our faces and we searched for our names. We had somehow all ended up being in the same room. I wouldn't be alone this year was all I could think. Thanking whoever did this as we walked to our room. We located three desks near each other and sat down. I looked around to see who shared the class with us when I heard a group of laughter so familiar that I know I have heard it. I turned and saw seven bodies come into our room. I instantly recognized them and gasped. I grabbed my bag and hid behind it. 

"Yoongi?" Krystal questioned. He looked over at us and instantly recognized her. She smiled and ran over to him. He hugged her and she hugged back and I instantly knew they had a thing going on. 

"What are you doing here? I thought you lived somewhere else," she questioned him. He just smiled and looked around. 

"Well our group got located here and we of course have to go to school." He laughed. He looked at his group and instantly realized that they wanted to be introduced. I still was hiding behind my bag afraid to be discovered. "This is Hoeske, V, Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, and Namjoon. This is my group. And group this is Krystal the girl I met in America when I was there." He said smiling and his face turning a little red. 

"Oh, nice to meet you guys. These are my friends Jieun and -" she stopped midsentece when I jumped up.

"I have to go to the bathroom!" I yelled and ran out the room. I kept running until I was finally in the bathroom. The bell hadn't rung yet thankfully so I quickly looked at myself in the mirror and decided I better leave now so that I'm not late to class. The bell rang as I sat down. 

"What was with the surprise bathroom visit?" Jieun asked me. I just shrugged acting like I didn't know what she was talking about. I looked over at the group of boys trying to hide my face from them.

Our teacher greeted us and told us to sit. She looked at each of us and asked us to introduce ourselves to the class. One by one each student did until they got to me. I stood up still hiding my face behind my hair before saying my name. 

"My name is Seren." I said. I received a few gasps from the boys as I sat down. I pushed my hair out of my face and looked over at them. They all looked shocked to see that I was there and had so many questions to ask me. I just shook my head and mouth 'not now. After school' so that they would get the hint not to ask me any questions in front of anyone. 

The day went by sluggish as the teachers drowned on about work to be finished and to be handed in. Finally the bell rang to dismiss us, I slowly packed my bags as my friends said their goodbyes and headed home. I was hoping the boys would forget that I was there as I walked towards the gate. I looked around not seeing them until I got outside the gate and saw them leaning against the wall. I was so close to be seen by them but I quickly stopped and walked backwards. I crouched down and started to go along the wall in hopes of finding another exit somewhere. I was practically crawling when I heard voices talking and I couldn't help but stop and ease drop on the conversation.
