I shuffled uncomfortably in my seat. The guy next to me had kept his eyes on me far too long.

He cleared his throat and looked away when he saw me notice his starring. I slightly adjusted the yellow floral hair band that pushed back my dark afro-textured locks, thinking perhaps he starred because something was out of place.

I felt relief when the lecturer walked in because all eyes fell on her. Almost immediately beckoning us to open our textbooks to page 14 before she could set down her belongings.

***************

After class, Jungkook's eyes lingered on me. He subconsciously found himself following me out of class. He furrowed his eyebrows at the idea of following a person he saw for the first time.

He had managed to avoid Yugyeom for now due to his curiosity. He mentally planned to meet up with him later instead.

He sighed slightly when he saw me enter the ladies room. Feeling a nudge on his left arm he looked over to find his brothers. "Who were you following?" Jimin was the first to ask.

"I don't know, but I got this energy from her." The twins cocked their heads in confusion. "What are you going on about dongsaeng?" Taehyung pressed.

"Positive energy" Jungkook said finally and the twins knew exactly what he meant.

"No", Jimin protested. "Not here".

"Come on Jimin and what do you expect us to do when its time to-"

Before their conversation couldn't go on, the siren sound signaled the end of the short break.

Different courses meant switching between different classes as well. The twins headed over to a new class as did Jungkook.

The twins were already seated before the next lecturer entered the class and I followed right behind him. The twins looked up and it was Jimin's eyes that met mine first. I briefly looked away to scan for a seat. I could still feel his stare on me and that just made me sigh mentally. Too many stares and it wasn't even 10am yet.

I finally found a seat right next to my good friend Yoongi. We have always treated each other like brother and sister. Grew up together in the same neighbourhood since age 3.

Quickly settling next to him, he winked at me teasingly as he handed me the textbook he had borrowed on my behalf, already opened to the required page. I mouthed thanks to him and took the book. Yoongi brought the normalcy back to my morning and I treasure him for that.

"Wanna go grab a bite?" Yoongi suggested. "Sure why not? I have at least half an hour before my next class". I said shrugging my shoulders. We headed to the school cafeteria.

Ten minutes into our break and Yoongi got a call from his project partner. "Right now? Right this minute?" Yoongi spoke into the phone with a groan.

He hang up. "I have to go YN" he spoke with a frown. "Its ok Yoongi, your credit scores depend on it." I assured him I would be fine eating alone. He nodded and gave a gentle pat on my shoulder before grabbing his bag and heading out.

I looked at the sausage roll I had ordered, suddenly losing the morale to eat since Yoongi had left. I chose to sip on some juice instead. My eyes lingering around the cafe and there he was again, the guy that had starred for far too long. He was seated with another whose back was faced in my direction.

I made the decision to ignore how uncomfortable I felt and took it as one of those things I can live with. It was school after all, guys like that will exist. I decided to head for my class earlier anyway.

*************

I settled in class, my eyes widening when I realized as my hand navigated through my bag that I had left my diary at the cafeteria. It was just 5 minutes before class would start and I groaned loudly at my forgetfulness.

I rushed out of class hoping to get back on time, running as quickly as I willed myself to. I reached a blind corner and bumped into someone hard, sending both of us to the floor.

Both of us groaned at the pain of our foreheads hitting with an unforgivable force. I could have sworn my vision doubled slightly when I opened my eyes.

It took both of us a minute to realize I was on top of the person I had bumped into and it was a guy. Our eyes met. Blood rushed to my face but thank goodness melanin hides it all. Saving me the obvious embarrassment.

"I....I'm sorry" I tried to move off him as quickly as I could. He held onto me firmly, "let me help you up", he said.

We both got off the floor. " Its not your fault," he smiled. I nodded and walked past him when he held onto my arm and I turned in total surprise.

"I think you left this back at the cafeteria." He held out my diary. "Thank you so much", I took the diary he held out to me. "Name's Jimin by the way". He smiled.

"I'm YN." I said rather shyly.

"Nice to meet you, YN".

The siren sounded, reminding us we needed to get to class that instant.

Jimin followed behind me towards the class. Pretty, thought to himself.
