The Things No One Knows
The Thin Line Between You and HimNa Na's POV
“Omo! Here he comes!” One of the girls screamed along with the others. I'm annoyed. I continued walking towards the school without stopping at the scene. Like I need to look to know why they are so loud. Like every other morning, Khun and his friends walk towards the school while trying to escape the annoying fan girls, I bet some of them don't even come to this school. I sighed. Khun… The guy I'm totally in love with.
We have been together ever since sophomore year and made it through without anyone knowing about us. Nobody else knows because we decided it was for the best. As sweet as Khun is…I know he’s embarrassed. He sounds like a jerk but he really isn’t…after you get to know him. He's still a teenager, wanting to fit in. I get that. We sat down and talked about it, it sounds bad that he’s embarrassed about us but there are more ups then down to it if this was kept a secret. For a poor girl to go to this kind of school, it's a miracle I haven't been teased. I have no bullying problems. Being ignored is better than being bullied, right? Anyways, if people knew about us, the girls in the school would kill me. The guys would too, they probably won't be as vicious, but they would tease Khun.
Well it's the beginning of senior year, and I would love to live through it like last year; drama free. And Khun wants to keep his reputation. He cares about me, a lot, but he didn’t see why going public change that in anyway. I was a little frustrated at first but I got over it. The only good thing about us going public is everyone knowing, and that’s also a bad thing. It keeps the sane girls from flirting with Khun and causes the crazy ones to do it more. We love each other very much, but we just hide it during school hours.
My phone buzzed, alerting me of the new text message I got from Khun. -Saranghae! <3 Don’t ever forget that.- I chuckled reading the text and took a glance towards him. He was surrounded by a bunch of girls but I have known better to be jealous now.
I opened my locker to get my books and got to class. Sat down at my usual seat and looked out the window. The view was beautiful…it sounds weird since I’m at school. But then again, the elite ones are so much better than the public school my neighbors attend. Blah blah, I am super smart and on a scholarship. I was super lucky to have gotten the scholarship, but it makes me a total outcast. Everyone here thinks I am poor and homeless when I just happen to not be as rich as everyone else here. I sometimes miss my grade school friends but I can stand eating lunch alone for a bright future. Right?
I look down at my note book and began doodling. As amazing this school is, the classes are still boring. In the years I've attended this school, I learned to tune the teacher out yet recognize my name. So without getting into trouble, I can devote my full attention to my daydreaming and Khun. I smiled. Khun…
School was just like any other day, it was over before I knew it. I am now sitting at the café, waiting for Khun. This was our usual hangout place other than his or my house. We don’t go anywhere too fancy because that’s where the chances of being spotted by our classmates are.
"Na Na!" I turned to see Khun and replied him with a peck on his cheek. We sat down and talk about our day until we were interrupted by his phone. Khun reached for his phone then he let out a chuckle.
"Who is it?" I asked after he hung up. It's probably Taec or Junho bothering him.
"Huh? Oh, just Victoria." Khun answered then looked at his phone again. Victoria… It’s been a while since they have been texting ever since she moved back to Seoul. Victoria was Khun's friend when they were kids so I knew better to be jealous, but I still couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed for interrupting our date.
"Hey, Na Na? Victoria wants to meet, she says she has something to tell me. Rain check?" Khun looked at me and smiled. I nodded and kissed him goodbye.
I feel kind of bad since this wasn’t the first time… I know he isn't cheating because it wouldn’t make sense for him to speak so openly about Victoria in front of me. Khun wouldn’t lie to me. I left and started walking home. I still have to write that report for class while I have been ignoring for too long so there's that to do. I sighed at theboring thoughts of writing another one of those again. As I was walking, I saw a panda bear on display at the toy store. I giggled. Khun calls a panda bear.
So much for not being distracted.
