Elbows propped on the desk, and eyes closed, I slowly rubbed my temples trying to soothe my aching head. My teacher had given us an independent assignment and I tried my hardest to focus, but a certain someone a few seats infront of me wouldn't shut up. "And then I found out that my father had finally hired a new golf caddy. He's so much more well behaved than the last one. Ugh, that other one was just asking to be fired. Like, does he have any idea who I am? My father could ruin his reputation for the rest of his life in an instant. He's lucky we were generous enough to just fire him." He laughed obnoxiously as well as his followers. "But other than that, the game went pretty well. I won of course with the golf clubs my father bad bought me on our trip to Italy." The girls, and some guys, around him were in awe. "Wow, Taehyung. That's so cool! Tell me, how is Italy?" One girl asked, mesmerized. "It's so beautiful this time of year. The air smells of roses, the beautiful city lights reflect on the water as you ride down in a gondola with your special someone." "And who is your special someone." He paused and peered at me, then grabbed her chin and looked into her eyes. "Why, I don't have one. Perhaps you can accompany me on my next trip." He said. She practically melted under his gaze and other girls started squealing. "Y-Yes Taehyung." She said. "Taehyung!" I yelled. "No one wants to hear about your stupid rich people adventures. Some people are trying to work, so can you just shut up?" He smirked and slowly let go of the girls chin and looked at me. "Wow (y/n)." One girl said. "Taehyung is trying to tell a story." "Yeah, how rude." I rolled my eyes and Taehyung looked amused and he put a hand up. "No, no. It's fine. She's right, we should all get back to work." He said. His posse groaned and went back to their seats. He looked at me with that stupid smile and I made a face at him and scoffed. Kim Taehyung is a rich brat who moved here 2 years ago. He's the richest kid in school, and a lot of girls think he's the cutest, so of course he's popular. Everyone is so brainwashed by his good looks and enchanting stories that they can't even see that he's the biggest jerk there is. The first day he was here, my teacher made him sit next to me, and since then, I've hated him. He thinks he's better than everyone. The very second he sat down next to me, he started flirting with me. He just looked like a jerk and he acted too cocky, so I rejected him, but he didn't give up. After a year, he finally got over me, or so I think. And over the next year, this past year, he purposely gets on my nerves, makes me mad and spreads petty rumors. I just wish he would stop. After class was over, I turned in my assignment and walked out of the classroom. My head was killing me and I almost lost my balance until someone caught me. "Whoa, be careful." It was Taehyung. I scoffed and straightened myself out. "What do you want?" "Aw, that's no way to treat someone who just saved your life." "You didn't save my life, you gave me a headache!" I raised my voice, making my head hurt more and I winced and grabbed my forehead. I started to walk awak, but Taehyung followed me. "You had some nerve telling me off in class earlier." He said. "So what?" "So," He pinned me against the lockers. "If you ever even think of embarrassing me in front of people again, you'll wish you were never born." I laughed. "Or what? You'll make my life hell? Because you already do." I pushed him off, but he just pushed me back. "I do not!" "Yeah, you do. Just because I refused to go out with you 2 years ago." "You think that's what this is about?" "I know that's what it's about! Now get your filthy paws off me." I started walking away. "I just don't understand why, (y/n)!" He called after me. I huffed and turned around. "Because you're rude, childish, obnoxious, you think that you're so cool because your daddy owns a jet and you have fifty sports cars and that you automatically think that people are supposed to like you because of it! Well they're not. You just have all these people brainwashed into liking you because of your money." I spat. "Who knows? If you weren't such a jerk, I might have considered going out with you." Taehyung was stunned, and so were the people who crowded around. "How dare she talk to him like that." I heard someone whisper. "Yeah, how could she do that?" "She's so heartless." I rolled my eyes and started walking through the crowd, ignoring the stares. The next thing I knew, Taehyung went and stood on the window ledge. "Before you guys scold her for yelling at me, just know that what she said isn't far off from the truth." He said. I stopped walking, but kept my back to him. "No, don't say that!" "Yeah Tae, you're awesome!" "Don't let her make you feel like that!" The crowd started to yell. Taehyung raised his eyebrows. "Wow. You guys are brainwashed." He said quietly. "No, I am a jerk. Especially to (y/n)." I sighed and everyone turned their heads to look at me. "Who cares?" "She's a nobody." "You're wrong!" Taehyung yelled, causing people to flinch. "She's everything to me." He said. I slowly started to turn around. What was he saying? "But, she is a nobody. You said so yourself." Someone said. I looked down. "I lied. I constantly degraded her so no one would see her as a woman. So no one would go after her. So I could have her to myself." He said, looking dead at me. At lot of girls started getting jealous and glared at me. "But my stupid self only drove her away." I looked back up at him. "I am rude, I am childish, I am obnoxious, and any other name that hasn't been mentioned. All because my feelings were hurt because I acted stupid." Taehyung jumped down from the ledge and came over to me. I wanted to die. Everyone followed his every move intently. "(Y/n), I'm sorry." He said. "If you give me a chance to prove that I really like you and that I can change, you would make me so happy." He said. "Why should I make you happy when you've given me hell?" I asked. Taehyung grabbed my hands and got on his knees. "Please (y/n). I promise, I'll make it up to you. Just give me a chance." He gave me puppy eyes and people started whispering. "Fine. You get one chance. As soon as you mess up, it'll be over as quick as it started." His face lit up and he stood and hugged me. "Thank you, you won't regret it." He said. And I didn't. Probably the best decision I've made. Taehyung is nothing but sweet, caring, and loving. He made a complete 180. Sometimes, you just have to tell a guy exactly how it is. Once he's exposed, (hopefully) he'll change. And Taehyung definitely kept his promise about making it up to me. I became that special someone he took to Italy.
