never again

"Y/nieee!" One of Y/n's friends' sweet yet sarcastic voice carried through the somewhat empty hallway.

You were quite new to the school, you'd recently moved here with your mum and little sister. lots of the students referred to you as fresh meat or the Canadian exchange student, you had made two friends already, Chaeryeong and Renjun. They were both really nice to you and soon enough you had gotten comfortable around them.

You used to live in Canada but moved to Korea for a fresh, new start from your previous life. just you, your mum and your little sister who sometimes was more like your daughter.

"Oh- excuse me, Miss Y/n?!" Chaeryeong continued to shout, catching unwanted attention from a few other students but Chaeryeong didn't really care too much, Renjun just strolled behind her, mouthing to people 'I Don't know this girl'

You were hiding behind the door of your locker but eventually gave up due to Chaeryeong's continuous need to emphasise your name throughout the building.

You spun around, your normal blank expression painted across your face, ultimately done with school even though you'd only been here for Ten minutes.

Chaeryeong panted as she finally reached your locker, one hand on your locker and one on Renjun's shoulder to keep herself steady. "Right, why isn't my crush here yet?! Is he not feeling well?! Is he late?!"

Renjun rolled his eyes, "typical Chae, not a care in the world except for her crush". He ruffled his hair slightly, checking himself out in the mirror that was neatly placed in your locker.

"tsk". you sighed before flicking Renjun's forehead. "check yourself out in your own mirror".

a little info on Chae and Injun:

Chaeryeong and Renjun weren't exactly popular but they were well known at your school and they were friendly with everyone. Your school wasn't like the typical soppy american 2000's movies with the bullies and whatnot. It was an average school, with decent students who had manners and the common human decency to be nice to everyone.

Of course there were a few popular cliques that roamed the school hallways, but they were popular for the right reasons and they had good intentions too.

There used to be a clique with seven boys, Lee Minhyung, Lee Donghyuck, Huang Renjun, Na Jaemin, Lee Jeno, Zhong Chenle and Park Jisung.

You weren't here long enough to know the depths of what happened but what you overheard was Jisung and Chenle used to be best friends but became mortal enemies over some college girl they liked. Renjun distanced himself and became friends with Chaeryeong.

Chenle gathered two friends and so did Jisung.

They all had their egos, they were the seven most hottest guys in the whole school, there was no need for their egos to be boasted. Even more so, most of the female population falls for them daily. Always a trail of girls following behind them, squeaking and shrieking like fangirls. It was like a swarm of bees.

you scoffed as you weaved your way through the crowd of the overly excited, shrieking girls who resorted to pushing and shoving each other to get to the one and only Zhong Chenle.

He was standing near his locker, a loose jersey vest draped across his torso, a bag with one strap sitting on his shoulder and a basketball that was placed under his arm. it was way beyond you how he could ignore dozens of girls shooting their love struck eyes his way.

It was obvious that he enjoyed the attention he got, knowing that dozens of girls fangirling over him must've made him feel great.

That's just life as a teenage boy in high school.
