Chapter 4
Once upon a time, Donghae
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Or something like that is what Disney said I think...
When the next day came I felt as if everything that had happened had been a dream, as if these past 3 months were only in my head. I felt normal, happy and was anxiously waiting for class to start. It's been a long time since I felt that way. I liked it.
I took my clean uniform since we had sports that day and we could use it all day. I folded the ends of my pants until they reached above my ankles, my black polo shirt had the school's logo. I left my jacket open and combed my hair sideways then left for school. I said goodbye to my family without eating breakfast as I was running late. I remember my mom hugged me tight before I left and kissed my temple lovingly.
On my way to school I played my favorite music to make me forget my fears and thoughts, who was I going to talk to now? I had no friends....
I didn't want those thoughts to ruin the happiness I was feeling so I decided to ignore them. I was going to pretend it was my first day of school, when you don't know anyone and you have to make new friends. The only difference was that by now everyone already had their group of friends and it was hard fitting in a new one. But I was going to try.
The school hallways were filled with carefree students. I wanted to be like that even for a second. Something in me had hope that this day was going to be the start of something good....I wasn't wrong.
"Watch out!" I heard a scream and when I turned around a ball hit me in the head so hard as if life had decided to destroy me.
It was Siwon and his friends. They were playing soccer outside our class and of course Kyuhyun had kicked it wrong. I guess it wasn't enough to steal my boyfriend, he also wanted to hurt me.
I was lying on the floor trying to process what had just happened. The fall outside the classroom was embarrassing right? Everyone had seen right? Now I'm the ex boyfriend of the guy who hit me right? Wasn't that what lead to a life of teasing and being miserable in school? Yes, I think it is....now what was I going to do? Should I get up and confront them? Should I wait for someone to help me? Nobody was going to do it, but I could wait....what should I do? Yes, I'm someone who thinks five times before doing something which brought a lot of teasing and mocking since I tend to stay on the floor like a fool looking at nothing, like I was doing right now.
"How many times have I told you kids? If you're going to play soccer don't do it in front of other people because these types of accidents can happen." His voice took me out of my thoughts, could it be?
"And what else did we learn today?" He took me by the arm and helped me up. "Always pay attention to the road, right Hyukkie?" It was him, what was he doing here?! I mean I was glad he helped me again, but I was a bit scared. How did he know I was in trouble? Is he some kind of superhero?
"Yes, I'm sorry." I kept my answer short and tried regaining my posture, still a bit shocked and confused as to what was happening.
"And who are you?" Siwon got closer with a challenging glare. It was obvious he was trying to defend his place as an alpha male.
"Lee Donghae, nice to meet you," He stretched his hand with a big and shameless smile,"I'm a new student and I'm guessing a new classmate to you." I looked at him surprise. New student? He was going to be in our class? Was this a dream or a nightmare?
"It this a joke?" I asked without thinking twice.
"I don't like to joke around much, but no. It's not a joke princess. Plus, I'm glad we can share a classroom, you still owe me one." He entered the classroom without another word.
I stood still for about 5 seconds like an idiot just like everyone else, we didn't know what had just happened. Then I followed him.
He sat right in front of me and that, in a way, made me want to jump of joy, now I at least had someone to talk to. Someone to cover up my loneliness.
I walked slowly to my seat. Was I going to talk to him now? Should I wait for him to talk to me first?
"I have no idea which chapter you are on. Can you help me? We'll be even then." He suddenly turned around making me jump.
He chuckled,"You're weird Hyukjae."
"Sorry I was daydreaming and sure I'll help you. Then I won't owe you anything."
"Oooh," he raised an eyebrow,"We'll be even for the restroom scene. Now you owe me one for what just happened. You're still in debt and the more I help you in embarrassing situations the more you'll owe me. Now let's start with the basics. Who were they?"
"What?" His question was a bit out of the blue.
"I want to know everything that goes on in class so it's not so noticeable that I'm new. If
