Chapter Thirty Two
You and Me: We're Dorm BuddiesSometimes I forget to think before I speak. Sometimes I tend to act before I think. Well, I couldn’t help it. I have to constantly remind myself that when my head takes control, my emotions consumed – things just, fall apart.
“Look who’s blushing, like real badly!” C.A.P elbowed Niel, refusing to let go off the matter.
“Oh! Shut up!” Niel took the latter’s Ray Bans shades, threatening to throw it down, directly from the school’s rooftop. Teen Top has always been a handful bunch, with mischievous pranks up their sleeves, and pretty often, occupied with senseless conversation and arguments to wrap it all.
“In-Na likes me best!” Changjo teased, dodging their annoyed faces.
Chunji remarked, “She can do better than that, Changjo.”
“You’re just jealous,” Changjo grumbled, deciding at the end to work on his board tricks.
“Yeah, yeah whatever,” Chunji rolled his eyes, attempting an aerial trick against the horizontal wall. "Whatever that makes you happy."
C.A.P filled us in with Seoul High’s latest information, dramatically pointing out that they haven’t done anything reckless for the past three weeks. Since we have been gone, that is. He rolled up his jeans instinctively, sharing stories on how he has gotten those bruised up kneecaps.
We nodded our heads, paying attention to him. Well, since he enjoys talking – we gave him the attention that he deserves.
“I have another worthy-gossip to share-“ C.A.P continued. L.Joe and I winced, scratching our heads in bewilderment. He wasn’t stopping, an irritated sigh escaped from our lips.
“Have you been behaving?” Niel questioned, looking rather nervous. He rested his skateboard on the ground, shoving his hand into his pocket. He sat down, knees touching his chin. His ears tinted red, sketching a nervous glance.
C.A.P made some kind of taunting comment seeing Niel who has propped himself next to me. We feigned ignorance but the other members has decided to do us a beautiful favor, by pinching his kneecap.
“Yah, I’m the oldest! You shouldn’t be the one bullying me, brats,” C.A.P wailed, rubbing his sore spot. The other scurried away, kicking their boards to a distance - merely to escape from C.A.P’s wrath. Chunji did an Ollie, grabbed the front side of his board and landed on the other side of the rooftop. L.Joe launched, turning his board by a whole three sixty. Changjo spun his board, laughing hysterically. Ricky decided to sit next to Niel.
I chuckled at the scene, unhesitant with Niel’s question, “I haven’t done anything defiant for the past weeks. Are you proud of me?”
Ricky exclaimed, interrupting, “I am proud of you, In-Na!”
“Hey, I’m talking to her,” Niel widened his eyes, staring at the younger member. The latter pouted, defeated, listening intently to our conversation. “So, how was school like for the past weeks?
“I’m adapting well,” I responded. “L.Joe and I sneaked out just to meet all of you guys. We will be returning back to our respective boarding school, late this afternoon.”
Niel snickered, giving a crooked smile. “So that’s what you called - not breaking the rules? Well, definitely, absolutely obedient, In-Na.”
“Amazing isn’t it?” I smirked, appreciating his sarcastic ways.
“Sneak out again sometime,” Niel added, folding his arms across his chest. I nodded, agreeing to his suggestion. “It’s great to see you both. I didn’t know how that balding patch has come up with such a ridiculous idea of posting his students to separate boarding schools. I really don’t get it. What are you supposed to get out from this – plan? To be honest with you – the whole idea sounds pretty, lame.”
“Apparently, he wanted us to fix on our misconduct,” I half-explained, carefully hiding the bruises from his view. “I know right. It’s pure bull. The headmaster should have just cooped us up in detention or put us out, to do volunteer work around the school.”
“So, are there like rules to follow?” Ricky widened his eyes, shaking his head in disbelief. “Sounds like a whole lot of work. If it’s
