Just another HS fic- Chapter 6
-CHAPTER 6-
Now, we’re outside in the mall’s parking lot.
“Stop laughing… it’s embarrassing” I said. People were walking by.
“You really look pretty behind all that hair of yours!” IU said, all giddy and jumpy.
“Seriously Jaejoong, why are you hiding you’re face? It’s pretty” Junsu said.
“It’s not pretty. I look weird, stop mocking me” I said, dying of embarrassment.
“Um Jaejoong… being pretty is good these days. It’s in style” Changmin said.
“Whatever, I don’t like it” I said and started walking away. It was too embarrassing for me to stay here like this. If I show my face in school, I’d probably get bullied even more for being a “sissy” or “girly” or something. I only took a few steps before someone grabbed me by the arm and pulled me back.
“Alright, alright, I won’t tease anymore” IU said as she dragged me back. I reluctantly got back with the group.
“So you guys want to be my friends with me?” she said, looking at us with big excited eyes. There was a silence during which the three of us probably were considering if having her as a friend would be wise, but as her lower lip started sticking out we all almost simultaneously agreed in a jumble of words.
“Hurrai! You guys are going to be my first friends in this school!” she screamed as she somehow managed to hug the three of us at once.
“What? You don’t have any other friends?” Junsu said breathlessly since IU has her arm around is neck. She let us go.
“Yea….” IU said, scratching the back of her head.
“That’s weird, you seem to be very… sociable, how come you don’t have any friends?” Changmin asked curiously.
“I tried making friends when I first came to the school, but there are so many snob people you know?” she ranted “You almost feel as if you were in a high school drama!” Oh yes, believe me, I know.
“Oh, you mean like Boys over flower*?” I said. It was a drama that I watched last summer about a poor student going to a rich school full of snobs.
*(For those who have been living in a cave all, you can google up Boys over flower and read the synopsis if you really want to know what it is)
As soon as she heard the name of the drama come out from my mouth, she turned to me with her eye practically shining.
“YES! JUST LIKE IN THAT DRAMA!” she said very spastically while jumping up and down. “Did you watch it?! Did you?” she asked, tugging my arm.
“Uh… yeah…”
“Who’s you’re favourite character? You know most people like Gun Jung Pyo, but I actually like the more quiet type and-“
“Please.” Changmin stopped IU from her drama talk. “Let’s not drift away from the subject please”
“Tch fine, so boring” she said, making a face before looking at me with an amused expression, probably planning on discussing about dramas with me again sometime soon.
“So you were saying?” Changmin brought the topic back on track.
“Um, yeah. When I first came into the school, I tried to be friends with these girls whom I thought were pretty nice at first, but we got invited to a party at a certain point and the girl who hosted the party was richer than me and bought them some stuff and from then, they never hung out with me” she said with a pout.
“Wow, sorry to hear that” Junsu said.
“Nah, good riddance I say!” IU exclaimed, doing a victory pose and then looked at the three of us again.
“You guys aren’t like those people, are you?” she said, raising an eyebrow.
“Oh no! I would never do something like that!” Junsu said first, almost automatically, waving his hands in front of him.
“Only ignorant people would do that” Changmin said, seeming like he is insulted that she’d even ask in the first place.
“Um… I don’t even come from a rich family to begin with so…” I said, hoping it would be a good enough of an answer for her and that she wouldn’t be mad at me for ruining the epic moment with all of us answering something smart an honourable.
IU seemed satisfied.
“Anyhow, I’m going to part with you guy from here. I’ve called my driver to pick me up here” IU said suddenly stopping “see you guys tomorrow!” she said waving at us as we walked away.
“Um, I called my driver too. I’m going this way” Junsu said pointing in another direction.
“Oh okay b-“
“Do you guys want a ride though?” Junsu asked me and Changmin whom I remembered, wasn’t rich, just like me.
“Would it be bothersome?” I asked.
“Nah, he wouldn’t mind” Changmin said and pulled me along.
