Minho took a deep breath in. A new school meant new people and a chance to become a different person. He'd spent so much time and effort at his previous school trying to fit in, when in reality he was just making himself stand out. He forced himself to talk about girls as much as he could to try and make his 'friends' less suspicious of him, he never hugged anyone of the same gender, claiming that the action was 'gay'. The only thing gay about it was Minho.

He didn't like hiding his sexuality and he didn't like acting as someone he wasn't. This is what led him to making the decision of transferring schools and starting a fresh. He would find friends that would accept him no matter what his sexuality was.

"Are you going to go in that classroom or are you just going to stand there all day?" A voice asks causing Minho to jump a little in surprise. He looks over at the boy that had spoken, he was now laughing a little at Minho's frightened state "sorry I didn't mean to make you jump, I need to be in here though" he points at the room and Minho quickly moves to the side upon realising he was blocking the entrance. "If I were you I'd get a seat before the teacher comes and marks you down as late"

With that the boy disappears into the room, purposely leaving the door open for Minho to come in. He takes another deep breath before entering the room, his eyes glancing around for a spare seat. The teacher was already in the room and he must have spotted Minho's nervousness. "Oh you must be the new student" he says and Minho nods, thankful that the class no longer thought he was jut some weird kid panicking over going to class. "Students, I'd like to introduce a new student" the teacher says, getting everyone's attention "this is Lee Minho, treat him nicely okay?" He reads his name off a sheet of paper on the desk before looking back over at him "why don't you go and sit in that spare seat beside Jisung"

The boy, Jisung, raises his hand and Minho was glad to see that it was the same boy as before. He had seemed friendly enough and this calmed his nerves just a little. He offers Jisung a smile as he slips into the seat beside him. He gets out his equipment and new textbooks, ready for the lesson to start.

Once the bell had gone for the end of the lesson, the students rushed out of the door, meeting up with their friends in the hallway. A sudden feeling of regret washes over Minho, maybe switching schools wasn't the best idea. As soon as he left this classroom he would be completely alone, in his old school at least people wanted to be his friend.

"You're smart" a voice says and Minho jumps, he thought that everyone had already left. The boy, he now knew as Jisung, stood from his desk, throwing his bag over his shoulder. "Sorry I need to stop scaring you" he apologises with a small laugh. Minho found himself involuntarily staring at the boys smile but soon snapped out of his trance-like state when Jisung starts talking again "waiting for the rush of students to be over is way easier than trying to push your way through, you're smart like me" he comments and this makes Minho laugh a little.

Of course he wasn't going to say that he was in fact only still sat at his desk because he was afraid to leave the classroom. Jisung didn't need to know that.

"Since you're new I'm guessing you dot have any friends yet" he says "wanna sit with me and my friends, they're a little crazy but they're friendly" he offers and Minho swore this guy had just saved his ass.

"Sure, thanks" he smiles, grabbing his own bag and following him out of the classroom.

Minho loved his new school, and even better he loved his new friends. They had pretty much accepted him into the group on the first day and treat him like he had always been there. There was one small problem though...Minho had ended up crushing on one of them hella badly.
