Baekhyun just about had it with his disruptive classmate. It had been three weeks since the tall, misbehaved student had joined his Philosophy class and during this time, all he had done was ask a ton of off-topic smartass questions to their teacher in order to get some reaction from his dickhead of a friend. He never understood the point in interrupting the learning of others when it came to being in class, let alone anyone finding it funny.

Baekhyun would’ve pondered about it all day if it weren’t for him shortly snapping out of his zoned out state when he heard the student’s friend snigger once more at the taller one’s remarks. He scoffed as he rummaged through his bag, taking out his earphones as he thought that maybe popping one in whilst listening to music would help him focus on what the teacher was explaining and block out the silly antics of the two whilst he wrote from the board.

“Sorry Baekhyun, but earphone out. I want to make sure everyone’s listening to this.” The teacher pointed to the board whilst scolding Baekhyun lightly with a sympathetic smile.

He scowled for a moment, debating whether or not to mention the fact that the new addition to the class along with his mate should be the one she should be telling off. After thinking for a minute, he took his earphone out before replying back to the teacher.

“I am listening Miss, it’s just that I can’t concentrate when dumb and dumber over there are trying to interrupt the lesson every two seconds with their cocky comebacks and stupid remarks. They have been nothing but rude and disruptive throughout these few weeks and have had no positive influence on anyone in this class.” Baekhyun looked over at the two as he continued. “We all know you’re doing it for attention, you can stop now. Your jokes aren’t funny in the f- slightest.”

Baekhyun stopped himself from letting out an accidental swear word due to pure frustration, but that didn’t matter as his fellow classmates started to make small hums of agreement as he spoke, making the idiotic duo agitated even more by his words as they started to get up whilst arguing back to the class.

“Chanyeol, Sehun please! Everyone calm down right now or else no one’s going to their next free period.”

Baekhyun couldn’t help but let a smug expression show on his face as he did what he wanted to do for a while now, to expose and embarrass them.

He checked the time on the wall and hummed happily to himself as it was only 2 minutes until the lesson was over. As he packed his things away, he could sense the death glares both Chanyeol and Sehun were giving him. Although he was tempted, he decided not to pay any attention to the pair as he swiftly walked out of the classroom. With a bounce with each step, he made his way to the library to meet with his friends.

Baekhyun greeted his group with a smile as he set his things down onto their table.

“What’s made you so happy...?” Curiosity laced into Kyungsoo’s words as he asked. This had to be the first time the group had seen their charismatic friend come straight out of a Philosophy lesson looking happy. The shorter one of the group usually stumbled into wherever they were sitting, endlessly complaining about how his classmates had yet again ruined his concentration. Little did they know that Baekhyun had finally let them know a piece of his mind.

“Listen closely, because I’m only saying this once.” He waited for everyone to stop what they were doing in the moment before continuing.

“So I was just sitting in class, listening to the teacher and taking notes down and - you know the usual. I was already finding it difficult to understand the topic Miss was talking about when I suddenly heard the Dumber one of the pair start to laugh at Dumb’s whispers.” He stopped for a moment whilst giving a small smile as he let the others giggle at the nicknames he had for them. Baekhyun had nicknamed the two to his friends when he had first explained the shenanigans they got up to when they moved into his class. Ever since then, the nickname seemed to just stick within the friend group.

“But anyways, I put an earphone in to allow myself not to hear the mess that was happening in the corner of the room, but the teacher wasn’t having it so do you know what I did? I spoke the up and exposed the two idiots for being nothing but rude for the past few weeks and told the teacher straight that they weren’t helping any of us within the class.”

“Wow, you finally-“ Jongdae would start to compliment him but an impatient Baekhyun did not hesitate to cut him off.

“I’m not finished. I even said to their faces that they ain’t and that everyone knows that they’re just doing it for attention.” Baekhyun exclaimed whilst grinning.

“But you didn’t say that, did you?”

Baekhyun’s grin would falter as he stared at Kyungsoo for a moment with a ‘Really?’ look plastered onto his face.

“Well I thought it, okay... But I did say that everyone knows that they been doing it for attention... And that’s how my day has been so far, girlies.” He’d smile sweetly, thanking and nodding at the compliments that his friends hurled his way.

“You think you got away with it though? I don’t wanna be negative, but what if they hunt you down and try negotiating with you? Or with any of us for that matter, I know you’ve heard those stories of bullies targeting the victim’s friends.” Jongdae asked with concern leaking from his words.

“Woah, woah, woah. Who said they were bullies? They’re just insensitive pricks that have no respect for anyone else but themselves. No one’s gonna get targeted or pinpointed I promise. I’m sure I’ll be fine handling it if they do come up to me- I’m good with confrontation.” Baekhyun showed confidence as he spoke.

It was true that he could definitely handle things, but the boy couldn’t help but feel doubt as he had thought of the height of the disruptive students, as well as the fact he gets instantly shy when confronted by a cute guy.

Did he just think that? Baekhyun thought whilst shaking his head in an unnoticeable manner as he quickly shook off the thought before coming back to the conversation - his friends turning out to have moved on from his topic and were talking about something completely different.
