•"I know there is a compliment somewhere deep inside of you and I'll take it."
•"You piece of shit."
•"Ah, there it is."
Silently, Sunghee glanced to the side as she tried to hide her blushing cheeks.
She hated admitting it, but holy shit...
Trouble...

"My iced Americano!" I heard Jaemin whining angrily behind me as I took his coffee out of his hand for the second time today.
As with the last one, the drink left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth, but made sure I was a little more energetic for the next hour. And by energetic I mean having energy in the first place.
It was already evening, the soccer game against the other school was slowly approaching and I had to honestly admit that I didn't expect to survive that long.
My head hurt as if Soyeon had beaten me with a sledgehammer while my hands were slightly shaking. My whole vision was swaying around, but I kept pushing myself to my own limit.
Somehow I thought of everything and nothing at the same time. Every now and then there were those moments when complete emptiness filled in my head and I just stared into nowhere, but sometimes my own memories seemed to run like a kind of short film in front my mind's eye.
I tried to ignore those thoughts as best as I could and continued walking instead. After a short time I finally arrived at the football field of the school, immediately overwhelmed by the countless different outer influences.
The glaring floodlights, which were directed at the field, the huge crowd of people trying to make their way to the stands and the loud cheering and yelling of the students, who supported their respective team.
While there were happy and excited faces everywhere, only sheer horror was reflected in me. The lights burned hellishly in my eyes while the loud voices of the audience roared in my own head like fifty sirens at once, echoing from one brain wall to another.
Eyerything irritated my senses, but I was not easy to get down, so I tried as hard as I could to control my racing heart and hectic breathing so that I could cheer on my best friend as well.
With swaying and trembling body I continued to walk, trying to find any familiar faces with blurred vision. It took quite a long time, but luckily Momo and Mina were in the second row, whereupon I quickly approached them.
I buried my own hands deep in the inside of my pockets to hide my continously shaking hands. I took another deep breath and gritted my teeth before I ran over to them, putting on a fake smile with the rest of my strength while hoping it could fool them.
"Sunghee, you came after all!" Momo jumped up happily and clapped her hands as I took a place right next to her.
Mina peered out from behind my classmate and smiled shyly at me while waving for a brief moment.
"Why shouldn't I come", I continued to smile fake, although it was unspeakably difficult not to give a broken sentence from me.
Unconsciously, I clenched my fists as a group of girls suddenly began to scream when the two football teams made their way onto the feld. If I had been able to do so, I would probably have yelled at them angrily.
