The lesson continued on and by the end of it we managed to learn another segment of the specification for our final exam. The teacher had dismissed us and I aimed to quickly run out in case something happened- I couldn’t help but feel paranoid. I slung my back pack onto my shoulder about to leave my desk.

“I’ll see you after school then.” A voice murmured behind my back.

I turned around to see D.O looking at me with a humourless smile. I didn’t say anything, but was tempted to say no.

“I swear I’m not going to do anything bad. Look if you nothing out of the ordinary happens to you then you have to believe me. I’ll vouch my life onto it.”

I raised an eyebrow, and lowered my voice “Why do you really want me to go out with you that badly?”

He smirked, “Now that, will have to wait” He said simply

I sighed I couldn’t force the truth out of him and from his kind of personality it seemed he was the type that wouldn’t give in.

I left the class room and found Ji Woo waiting for me.

“You were talking to him again?” Her tone was curious.

“Yeah” I mumbled sheepishly.

I explained what went on throughout my conversation with D.O, leaving out the detail of D.O working out at the orphanage. She nodded in understanding that I couldn’t tell her. We had also discussed such things about school, our weekend plans and also upcoming exams that it wasn’t until we had gotten to my form to finish talking about D.O. I couldn’t help but find it slightly annoying, I felt like one of those classic girls who couldn’t do anything but talk about guys. To add further to this it was D.O we were talking about, I hardly knew much about him and yet I felt as if we were being far too girly. We had already discussed him this morning, but sadly thanks to him it wasn’t enough. I needed someone to tell this about, but only knowing if they had a better judgement than I did and luckily Ji Woo fitted the job.

“So when are you meeting?” She asked.

“After school” I answered whilst fiddling with a biro pen as I began to plan for an essay due the day after tomorrow.

“You’ll be fine?” Her face looked anxious

I sighed, “I have no idea. You know I’m not naïve, so I guess I wouldn’t be doing this if I wasn’t sure”

“True” She murmured in response. She began to take out a book she had gotten recently from the school library.

I groaned, “Oh please give me strength” I told myself. I then turned to Ji woo telling her “don’t forget to wait for me after your Philosophy lesson okay?” I reminded her.

“Yeah, yeah” She waved the thought away as she began to read the first page of her book.

I nodded, but frowned whilst she wasn’t looking. She didn’t really understand the anxiety I had to endure as the school day continued. To be honest I wouldn’t either if I was in her position. Sadly the annoying thing that happens sometimes is even if someone goes through a hardship and simply tells you about it, you can’t really relate until it happens back to you.

As the day went on nothing had happened. During last period I had kept an eye on the clock at the back of my maths classroom. I didn’t want to let the teacher catch me in case they misunderstood I simply wanted to leave the lesson, so I had turned my body so that my head could easily catch glances at the clock. I had sighed with relief when the clock had hit 3:15 and the alarm bell went off. What did annoy me on the other hand was that my maths teacher thought it would be useful to hold us back for another 10 minutes and lecture us about how to do our homework properly. I rolled my eyes. Some would say I had a bad attitude which I guess is true, but I just hated it whenever I was being patronized. I sighed mentally to myself when the teacher began to drone on and on about expecting our projects to be of high quality and not from the internet. I couldn’t help but flare with anger since it was something we all clearly knew since primary school.

“Took you long enough” D.O muttered.

“Oh please, like I wanted to spend an extra 10 minutes behind for maths” I responded sharply. I really wasn’t in the mood to spend some time with D.O after my maths teacher had wasted my own time.

“Right, that sounds like your kind of heaven though” He teased with a smirk. I looked at him properly to realize he was leaning lazily against the wall right by out school entrance.

“Whatever were all human so I do get tired too you know” I retorted, D.O kept adding to my irritation. “Look I’m really not in the mood. So maybe another time alright” I began to walk away before my mood continued to dip because of him.

I felt a hand press lightly onto my shoulder, not to force me to stop, but alarm me. “Hey, no please I’m sorry” D.O muttered behind me.

I turned to face him as he took his hand back,
