NoA turned herself in circles as she looked forth and back for the faculty hall. She was hoping to ask about her classroom, but this school was like a glass and crystal castle…there were many rooms. She breathed as someone ran past her managing to knock her belongings out of her grasps. A back pack skid across the tiles, and her binder fell to the ground blowing away with its innards composed of papers; clean loose leaf paper.

"Watch it!" 

"Sorry!" the person apologized continuing to run. NoA bent down, her caramel brown fingers reached over masses of lined paper she pulled them all in bunches towards herself and the binder. She finally pushed all the paper back into her binder, and was going over towards her backpack. Her hand grabbed the fabric of the bag, and so did another hand. Then it was taken from her grasp, and she was subjected to looking up at the person…which was a male. He was one of the boys who was able to introduce himself up on stage earlier. 

"You need some help?" he asked holding out the bag to her. NoA slowly nodded

"I was looking for…the um…faculty hall,"

"Do you know what your first class is?" he looked down at her schedule. He smiled brightly

"Good were in the same class!" his exclamation made her heart jumpstart at its warmth, "This way," he directed NoA after him. Falling into step with him the two made hollow steps down the nearly empty hall, he began some small talk but never got around to his name. NoA liked his soft rounded face, and wide alert eyes that contracted an innocence to him. He had short black hair and an awarding smile. She found herself brushing out her brown hair in a self-concious manner

"I'm NoA," she blurted out. His mouth dropped

"What a pretty name! I always forget to tell people my name---my bad! My name is D.O, or thats what everyone calls me is what I mean to say," his apology showed up with a sunny smile. D.O was an optimistic person as it seemed. NoA and D.O arrived at the designated classroom; Class E-14 in E Hall. He opened the door like a gentleman; and NoA was first to be met by an array of glances. The students all looked over her honey skin, and then they quickly looked behind her and some females faces turned to jealously at the male smiling at her back.

"You're late," the teacher mewled with lecher from her desk. D.O bowed lightly at her,

"Sorry I was helping out people who couldn't find their classes," he looked up to see her waving him off,

"I'm not mad at you," she concluded. He really didn't need to explain----infact she was talking to NoA the whole time. The two found empty seats. The teacher introduced herself as Mrs. Kobyeol. Ms. Kobyeol talked endlessly about her favorite authorists. Seeing a boy looking out the window she squinted

"Something interesting---," she had to look at her roster before saying, "----Jinyoung?" her eyebrow lifted at him, "Who's my favorite author?"

"What?! What kind of question is that?" he breathed.

"So you weren't listening?!" she accused. Jinyoung turned to the girl at his side----that being NoA

"Hey you---," he caught NoA's attention, "what's the answer?" he whispered as he pretended to be stretching. While Ms. Kobyeol rolled her eyes NoA answered

"JK Rowling," she told him. He smiled brightly at her 

"JK Rowling?" he questioned with uncertainty. Ms. Kobyeol began to laugh a bit to ward off her embarrassment in unsuccessfully making a fool of a slacker. 

"Hmm, guess you were listening," she mumbled in defeat. Jinyoung turned to NoA

"Thanks man you really saved me!" he appraised her. NoA waved off his praise

"No prob," commotion breezed through the room, words like 

"that girl just helped him" and also;

"You think she's one of those goody two shoe students?"

NoA didn't notice D.O smiling

"There's probably more to her…" he told himself; returning his vision to the front of the class. NoA rolled her eyes *All you have to do is listen, gosh,* she shook her head and focused on the board up ahead. 

As the class ended D.O was going towards her to offer guiding her around because he knew she would be unable to find her next class, but he noticed Jinyoung sidle up at her side;

"Hey yo' where are you going to next?" he asked with a grin. D.O watched the two leave with Jinyoung saying, "Awesome that's my next class too!"
