Doyoung's POV

Highschool. A place filled with hormonal teenagers, grumpy teachers and a lot of drama, of course. Nothing goes unnoticed, nothing gets forgotten and nothing escapes the eyes of the lurking drama queens whose main goal is to make fools of whoever decides to disrespect them.
Being in a clique with a bunch of douchebags isn't probably the best decision for a fairly normal human being such as I, but who has a choice when you need to find a good place in the school hierarchy in order to survive?

"And so her fucking dad walked in on us mid-action and she freaked out. Sorry to disappoint you but we didn't manage to do anything. Got a good one hour scolding and 'the talk' though."

"What the hell, Lucas, we don't want to hear about your sex life." I spit out bitterly as I eat my sandwich on the lunch table. Kun next to me giggles and I see how intrigued the others are by this conversation so I just sigh.

"Talk about yourself, Doyoung. The story's a bomb. But it won't top mine." Taeyong says contently and slams his hands on the table excitedly.

"Shut up, nobody believes you had a threesome with Jenny and her mom." Winwin mutters from the other end of the table grumpily.

"Oh, guess grandpa didn't have a nice night last night, did he?" Taeyong laughs devilishly at his own words and looks very satisfied with them. What a douchebag.

"Shut it!" Winwin groans and lets his head rest on his hand, smushing his chubby cheeks. He looks angry while he's sleepy. "I'm way too hungover for a conversation with you guys." He mumbles.

"That's okay, at least there won't be any more arguments today." I smile joyfully. The boys are way too hormonal to keep things chill so I am always glad when there's no sign of conflict. Most times though, that doesn't seem to be the case.

"So, where's Dahye?" Ten smirks in front of me and I furrow my brows.

"It's none of your business." I cross my arms and hear him chuckle loudly.
This really makes me think though, where is she? We had an arrangement to meet after she's done eating.

I stand up and scan the cafeteria, quickly finding her, cheerfully talking and eating with her friends. "Oh, she's having lunch, ah?" Kun nudges me as I sit back down and nod.

"Have you done the thing yet?" Lucas asks with a grin and I shake my head. Yukhei frowns. "Oh, come on, you've been together for what? Two months now? I would've totally banged her already dude, what are you waiting for?"

"I'm not interested in sex, Lucas. My brain isn't in my balls, though I can't say the same about you." I look to the side just in time to see her making her way towards their table. I quickly grab my bag and nod to the others. "See you around." They nod back silently and I stand up then walk to her.

"Hey Hey~." She greets sweetly and I smile at her.

"Let's go."

Chemistry classes - the possible worst of all roll up, eager to suck the life out of me. I and chemistry don't get along, certainly. So I just sit in the back, doodling in my notebook until the teacher has bored himself to death and just leaves us be and talks to that weirdo I have Math with.

Currently I'm passing time before the bell rings. And when it does I'm not at all surprised to see that weird boy walk in exactly as the bell ring stops. I wonder how he always does that, but every time he executes it flawlessly.

I also wonder how the guys from my crew never really noticed him, if they did he'd be a pretty alluring target to bullying. Kun's in my math class, which means he sees him almost all the time and yet they never mention him. Though he isn't exactly one to bully people. I mean, that's good because I really don't condone bullying, I'm just wondering how he goes unnoticed.

And the reason for why this whole thing is so outlandish is that I still haven't found out what his name is, surprisingly, even though I literally know the names of every person in each of my classes. He always walks in that unnaturally straight posture and is never bothered by anything. I have precisely heard him click his tongue once for three years and that's it. He never reacts to anything that is happening, he just writes some stuff in his notebook half the time and the other he seems pretty interested in talking to the teacher. If I didn't know Mr. Moon well enough, I'd think there was something between the two. But he is happily married and perfectly straight.

So that guy sits on the opposite side of the room, and I can still see him because, well, I don't really know why. Maybe the fact his hair almost looks like it's made out of gold.

And now why to clear things up. If it seems as if I'm infatuated with this guy, believe me, I'm not. Really, he's just a weird person and weird always catches my eye. Plus I solely have nothing else to do in chem class so that's how I pass time sometimes. Wishing I could find out why he is so strange. But I'm satisfied with what I have.

I'm just eager that in a few minutes the bell will ring and I will be able to see my favorite girl in the world. Me and Dahye have been best friends for years now, even before highschool. We just recently confessed our feelings and have been together for almost 2 months. The sweetest 2 months of my life, to be honest.

The bell finally rings and I actually run out of the room, to my locker where I wait for her. She comes a minute or so later and gives me the cutest smile. I smile back and open my locker to sort my books. I take what I need and close the door, following Dahye to hers. It is a thing we do, wait for each other to take their stuff and then I go with her to her class where we part ways. We have no classes together, unfortunately.

After we say goodbye, I go to history class, which is by far the most boring. And I sit with Winwin, who is 100% still hungover and we won't be able to have a civil conversation that doesn't end with him punching my face because I speak too much.
Learned that from personal experience.

I calmly stay at my seat and wait for Winwin to come, probably slouching with his legs sliding on the floor instead of actually walking. The bell rings and a bit after that I'm surprised to actually see him wide awake, fully energetic and... Well. I guess he's been making out with some girl because his lips are swollen and there is a mark on his neck.

"Had a nice break, huh?" I ask, smirking at him and he looks at me with shining eyes.

"No! Not at all." He blurts out, his voice still shaky from running but also defensive. A small blush has spread on his cheeks, which makes him seem younger and more innocent than he is. Had I not known any better, I'd actually believe that.

"Damn, that girl must've been a beast then." I comment as I open my notebook and chuckle a bit.

He seems startled for a moment but quickly clears his throat and answers. "A-ha, yeah. A girl."
