In My 20s (Seventeen Fanfiction)

Chapter 1 - Elizabeth

Monday at 6:55 am.

I stand patiently at the bus station, hoping that I won't be late for my 2nd year in college. Traveling using the bus takes 45 minutes to get to school, so I have 15 minutes of sleep in class, before the clock strikes at 8:00 am.

And, just in time, the bus arrives at 7:00 am. But, as I hop on the bus, I realize that a lot of people are on the bus since it's a Monday. So I had to stand up. Since I couldn't get a good grip on the bars that are attached to the ceiling of the bus, due to my height, I have to hold onto one of the chairs.

I'm almost at my school, there's just one more stop that the bus has to go to. The bus fills up even more, to make the situation even better, a few people step on my feet as they try to look for a spot. The doors close and the bus begins to move.

The guy in front of me steps back and steps on my foot, probably due to inertia of the bus moving. I pull my foot out, but the bus' speed increases which causes me to fall over. While thinking of about how I will be able to recover from an upcoming embarrassing moment, I then feel an arm wrap around my waist. I look up to see a man wearing a beautiful smile that complements his eye-smile.

I have to say.. he's very pretty for a guy.

The bus stops, which means that I have reached my destination. The man puts me back in a standing position, I whisper a thank you to him, and he smiles back. I look at his clothing and I realize that he goes my school.

"You go to Harvard University?" I asked,
"Well, that's what it says on my jacket." He said,
"Really? I go there too—."

"Hey lady, can you chitchat elsewhere? Some people have to go places here." a senior citizen said from behind.

I quickly apologize and I move aside for him to move, then me and pretty boy hop off the bus together and make our way to our school.

"What course do you take?" pretty boy asked,
"I take interior designing." I said,
"Oh, that's pretty cool." He said, "How about you?"
"I'm taking biochemistry."
"Ooh, science-y." he gave a small chuckle at my comment, "Yeah, I plan on discovering something new and name it myself." He said,
"Nice." I said.

Wow, pretty and smart. Any girl would kill to get their hands on someone like him, even me. If only men knew what really goes on in a woman's mind.

"Speaking of names, care to say what your name is? Ever since whatever happened on the bus earlier, I've been calling you pretty boy in my head." I said as I laughed,
Pretty boy laughed back and nodded his head, "Yes, pretty boy does have a name, and it's Mingyu." Mingyu said,
"Oh, that's great, I thought I had to call you pretty boy for the rest of my life." Mingyu laughed at my statement.

We enter the building and head our way up the stairs to where my first class will be in. Although, I'm not really sure where his classroom is, so I decided to pull out my schedule and showed it to him.

"Did you get your schedule from yesterday?" I asked,
Mingyu dug in his pocket, pulls a piece of paper, and showed it to me, "Do you want to go to class together? If we're not in the same class, can we at least eat together?" he asked,
"My friends, who are actually my cousins, won't be here until next week. So, why not?" I said while laughing,
"So you're leaving me when your friends get back?" Mingyu asked while raising up an eyebrow, "Probably."
"You're mean." He said as he crossed his arms and pouted like a baby, "What about you? Where are your friends?"
"I was alone ever since my first year in college." Mingyu said as we both laugh, "Aw, poor pretty boy." I said,
"Yeah, poor me." He said as he chuckled, "Is this your second year?"
"Nope, it's my third year."
"Well then.. let's make the best of your two years here in college before you leave me." we both laugh at my reply as we make our way to classes.
