It's the first day of school again and everyone had gathered in front of the main notice board of the school to see their classes. You were sandwiched between the taller students and wasn't able to see the board. Just then you felt someone's hands around your torso and you were being lifted up. Shocked, you quickly looked down only to see Chanyeol smiling back at you. "How's that? Can you see your class? Oh, could you help me check mine too?" You couldn't help but giggle and nodded. All around you, you could hear the whispers of jealous females.

"Who does she think she is?"

"She's going out with him too? How many guys is she dating?" 

"He deserves someone better."

Chanyeol heard it too and glared at them, asking them to shut up. *What's their problem?* He looked up at you to see if you were okay. Those words hurt but you ignored them and checked your class. A smile immediately appeared on your face when you realized Hae Ra was going to be in your class. After checking the names, Chanyeol gently placed you down and straightened your blouse. You smiled at him. "Thanks oppa. You're in the same class as Baekhyun again." You told him the good news. You expected him to be elated but he pouted. "Oppa, what's wrong?" You cocked your head to the side. Chanyeol looked down and back at you. "If only you were in my class. School would be much more interesting then." You chuckled. "Oppa, I'm two grades lower than you. It's impossible. Besides, isn't Baekhyun your best friend? You should be happy!" You tried to cheer him up. Chanyeol sighed and smiled. "I guess so."

"Have you guys checked your classes yet?" Just then Hae Ra and D.O approached the both of you. You couldn't help but smile. *No wonder oppa left early today. He fetched Hae Ra from home.* You nodded and grabbed her hands. "Guess what chingu, we're going to be in the same class!" The both of you started to jump in a circle. "Cool! Can we join?" The both of you stopped to see Kai and Sehun. Sehun was smiling widely while Kai had a smirk on his face. "What do you mean? You're not in our class...are you?" You ask, with a hint of fear in your voice. Kai leaned in closer to you and you felt your body stiffen. He pointed towards the notice board behind you and you slowly turned. Just then a group of students who were blocking the board moved and right at the bottom was written,

"Kim Jong In        Class 2-3"

"Oh Se Hun          Class 2-3"

You closed your eyes, hoping that it was all just a dream but it wasn't when you turned to face Kai's smirk. You sighed, the happiness suddenly gone. Kai made a face. "Yah, what's with the face? How do you think I feel to be in the same class as you?" *Thank God I'm in the same class as her again.* He thought silently. Kai scoffed and flicked your forehead before heading in to the school building, and also before anyone catch him smiling to himself. You make a whining noise. "Ugh I have to face the wrath of heartless Kim Jongin again? For the whole year? Hae Ra ah, sit beside me okay?" You pulled Hae Ra to your side. Just then Sehun took your other arm and linked it with his. "Yah, I want to sit next to you too!" 

You couldn't help but think that Sehun was being clingy to you again. And since you guys would be in the same class for a whole year, he was going to be extra clingy. You just smiled and nodded your head. "S-sure Sehun ah. Let's all sit together." After all that hassle, Hae Ra bade goodbye to D.O before going to class, Chanyeol went to search for Baekhyun and you were left with Sehun. Just then, a familiar voice made you turn. "My my if it isn't my little Japanese dongsaeng." Mi Young and Ma Ri were standing in the middle of the corridor. You noticed how the students around them were intimidated by their presence. *Why is everyone so afraid to stand up against them?* You thought to yourself. After the incident where she pushed you up against the wall in the girl's washroom, you weren't afraid of her anymore. 

Sehun glared at Mi Young, but deep down he was worried for you. *If that witch tries to hurt Ryoko again, I won't hold back anymore.* You tried your best to put on a smile on your face before greeting her. "Annyeong, Mi Young sunbae." It seems satisfying to her since she was grinning from ear to ear. Both her and Ma Ri slowly walked towards you and you could feel your body tense up. Sehun took a step in front of you and you swore you caught a glimpse of shock on her face but she managed to compose herself quickly. "Well, I just wanted to see how you are doing. I've missed you during the break." She said that with the most sarcastic voice. You couldn't help but scoff. Which caught her off guard.

You took a step forward so that you're in front of Sehun this time. "Well, that's nice and all sunbae, but class is about to start soon. I think you should leave." With that, you grabbed Sehun's arm and turned your back, heading towards your class. Sehun was shocked by your comeback but deep down, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with the way you dissed Mi Young. *Looks like Ryoko's getting stronger.* Mi Young and Ma Ri were left dumbfounded in the corridor before they were told to head back to their class by the discipline master. 

It was break time and as usual the rest of them were at the gazebo. Except for you. You were scared. *After what I said to Mi Young this morning, she's bound to be looking for me right now. So I have to stay hidden..for now.* You thought to yourself. You were sitting alone at the school's rooftop. You didn't know it was acessible. There was even a small basketball court up there but it doesn't seem to be used a lot. You tried to find a shady spot for you to sit. "Babo. Just why did I have to say that? Acting all brave and such." You scolded yourself. You sighed and leaned against the cold wall behind you. All that angst was making you tired, and plus, you didn't eat lunch. "I guess a small nap would be fine." Slowly you closed your eyes and drifted off to sleep.

A few moments later you woke up after feeling something lightly brushed against your hair. You noticed you weren't sitting down anymore, instead you were lying down with your head resting on someone's lap. "Oh, you're awake already?" Baekhyun's voice filled your ears. Immediately you sat up. "O-Oppa, what are you- What time is it?! Did I miss class?" You were panicking. It was the first time in your whole life that you're ditching class. You were about to get up when Baekhyun pulled you back down and rested your head on his lap. "Don't worry. You've already missed a few classes and there's only one hour left until the final bell rings." You were shocked. *I didn't know Baekhyun oppa was the kind who would skip lessons.* Baekhyun smiled. "Didn't think I was the type of person who would skip class eh?" He said, as though he read your mind. 

Baekhyun chuckled. "It's a first for me too. So let's just stay here and don't get caught by the teachers okay?" He placed his finger on his lips. You smiled and nodded. Since you were lying down, you were facing the sky. Now that you think about it, it was the first time for you to see the sky in the afternoon. You never noticed how blue the sky was since your class always ends late in the evening and the sky is always dark. "Oppa, how did you know I was here?" Baekhyun chuckled. "The others were asking where you went so some of us volunteered to search for you and I found you asleep here. I didn't want to wake you up because you looked so at peace." Just then you felt Baekhyun lightly your head again. And you blushed. "O-Oppa, what are you-" "Shhhh..let's just stay like this until school ends." He had his eyes closed and there was a smile on his face. A slight breeze and the sound of the trees from below made you calm. You suddenly forgot that you were skipping class. *This is really nice.* You took a deep breath of the fresh air. Baekhyun felt the same way too. *I'm glad I found you first. You really are special Ryoko ah.*
