Mina POV

After the fight, everyone seem to notice me more than usual. Just this time I could see they give me some positive vibes. Everyone had seen the video of Chaeyoung punching JB and Jackson in the face and taking me to his car. I guess they thought we were back to normal but when Chaeyoung didn't talking to me every two minutes in class, they knew something was wrong. After break, we also had to changed seats in every class.

I know I should be following my resolution, but I couldn't help to wish and hope that I would get assigned to sit next to Chaeyoung. Each time, it only seem like we got further apart, except for biology. So, when I got the seat right beside him, everyone looked and observed, curious if he would finally talk to me. But, sad to said he didn't. Maybe I shouldn't be turning every five seconds to look at him. But, I can't help. Every glance makes me flutter but ache at the same time. I don't know I show call myself lucky or unlucky to having him next to me.

"So, for this biology project I want you guys to study any animal and their behaviour. Explain every characteristic they have and how that helps them adapt and survive in their habitat. Then, research threats to that species and predict who they will evolve in the future. Please don't do cats and dogs cause that's just lazing and boring." My biology walks to the front table and drops off a clipboard.

"I assigned you partners so come and take a look. I want you guys to decide on an animal by the end of the class and get started over the weekend." She added.

The whole class groans in unison, having already picked their partner by eye contact. However, this is brief as everyone rushed to the front in hopes if seeing their friends name next to their own. Chaeyoung and I stay rooted to our seats. I twiddle with my thumb while waiting for someone approach me. However, I secretly it won't be the case. Being that, I can't help to think my partner might still be sitting down, possibly the one next to me? I'm give in once the front table clears and no one went to talk to me yet. My feet heavily went to front and approach the clipboard, trying to keep an open mind but I can't seem to help but my mind keep thinking of someone.

Chaeyoung,. Chaeyoung.. Chaeyoung. Yeri. Shoot!

Don't get me wrong. Yeri is nice and all, but she never works. Plus, I have other reason.. Chaeyoung. When I turn around, I catch Chaeyoung looking towards the front of the class. But quickly directs his eyes to his desk and writing something in his notebook. Since no one sat next to him yet, I check the list again. Next to Chaeyoung, is Bang Chan who is currently absent. I look around for Yeri, not seeing her either. So, I went back to my seat. I have to options in my mind, sugar glider and penguin. Well, sugar glider much easier as I been researching them for sake of properly caring for Cuddle. And penguin is one of my favourite animal. So, that's why. But, I think I will go with sugar glider. Since, Yeri isn't going to do the work, I'm sure she won't mind if I choose the animal without consulting her.

"You guys are awfully quieting for partners that are supposed to be picking and animal." My biology teacher laughs tapping on our table.

"Oh, we're not partners. Mine's absent." I explain.

"Chaeyoung, where's your?" She said.

Chaeyoung just shrugs in reply. Something quite odd for someone usually very talkative.

"Well, since both of your partner absent, you guys should just partner up and get started. I will just partner the two together then." Satisfied with her decision, my teacher smiles and leaves us awkwardly staring at our desk.

I continue my list for about ten more minutes before I speak.

"Hmm, if we go with sugar glider okay?" I asked.

"Sure." That's the only he said.

I sigh. I continue my list for another ten minutes before speaking again.

"I can just finish the whole thing tonight." I said to him.

"No, I will help." This time he said looking at me.

Then, he quickly take his eyes to somewhere else. We continue our silence for another ten minutes. I give up as I know he won't speak to me.

"Should we try to finish the whole thing after school?" I asked again.

"Sure." Again, short reply.

Another ten minutes.

"Where do you want to do it?" I asked.

"Coffee shop should be fine." He reply.

Oh my god! Until when he will ignore and with his short reply. My chest hurts like its being stomped on. We rarely did homework outside of each others houses. I sigh. Another ten minutes.

"The one near mall?" I asked.

"The closest one to the school." He said.

The bell rings and before I could said anything Chaeyoung already out of the class. Again, I sigh. I picked my thing and walk to my other class. As I walk, people keep talking about the video that I beaten JB and Jackson. How they glad someone give them a lesson, how cool I am, how Chaeyoung went to defend me, how they cheat on Nayeon and Momo and how asshole their are. I just give them an awkward laugh to excuse myself from the conversation and continue walk. I can't believe JB and Jackson did that to Nayeon and Momo. Well, I guess I could believe it since they are major jerk. But, that's still horrible. If I knew that early, I would have kicked them in the balls while I was at it. The one time my wish is granted, it isn't even what I wanted because JB and Jackson found me and dragged me off to were the dumpsters were. I sigh. I wasn't really hoping to kick his balls! 

"I thought I make it clear I wanted you guys leave me alone!" I exclaim in exasperation and attempt to yank my backpack out of their grip.

"You know how much shit you got me into? My coach threatened to throw me off the team!" JB angrily yells, shoving me slightly to throw me off balance.

"You did that to yourself. Don't cause anymore trouble for either of us and just ignore me from now." I said.

"Ignore you? Hah! After you make everyone think you actually beat us up? I wasn't going to beat up a girl!" This time Jackson angrily yells.

"Funning because I remember pinning you and you couldn't slip out. You didn't have to punch  me, just throw me off." I said.

"Fine, if you want a real fight bitch!" Jackson goes to grab my shoulder but his knees suddenly buckle.

The next thing I know, he's on the ground, hands over his crotch and moaning in pain. Panicked, I check my feet which has stayed rooted in the same place the entire time. JB turn to look but his destiny end out same as Jackson.

"Fucking asshole. You're the worst JB." Nayeon rolls her eyes, showing no remorse.

"Didn't she tell both of you leave her alone!" Momo said.

"Oh my god! You actually kicked his balls." I gasp.

"Fuck! Momo! Fuck!" Jackson growls on the ground.

"Fuck you Nayeon! Fuck! Why did you kick my balls bitch?!" JB growls while he rolls on the ground.

"One ball is for cheating on me, the other one is for messing with Mina." Nayeon retorts.

"Fuck!!" JB cursed in agony.

"And you Jackson, I told you that I don't want you anymore. Stop bother me! Piss me off one more time, I will make sure to kick the whole sack all the way to China." Momo warns.

They nudges me to walk with them and we leave them grovelling on the pavement.

"Um, are you sure you guys won't get in trouble?" I asked them, looking back at JB and Jackson.

"Yeah, them won't said anything unless them wants to get in trouble for harassment." Momo said.

"How did you find me?" I asked curious.

"Well, since I hit you last time near the dumpsters, we just tried going there first." Nayeon replied.

"Oh, thanks." I said smiling.

"You shouldn't thank me." Nayeon said.

"Ehh? Why not? You helped me out." I said.

We get behind the track bleachers that are made of thick concrete. We totally out of JB and Jackson view. Nayeon stop and spins around to face me.
