My POV
I get ready for the presentation, trying to not think too much about it. The only thing I'm trying to focus on is actually getting to school.

What is the bus taking so long for? I'm gonna be late.. no, I can't be late. I need to get there in time.

A familiar car stops by the bus stop.
"Need a ride?"
"God yes! Thank you, Jungkook, you're a life saver"

We get to school surprisingly before the bell rings.
"We aren't late for the first time, wow" he says.
"Yeah..crazy. I guess this bad habit we have is gone"
"Yeah, it's about time" he laughs. 

The whole school is ready. I'm not the only student who will be on stage today, there is several other people. I'm up next.

We make our way to the seats, I sit next to him.

I could feel my leg bouncing. I'm feeling very anxious, this is worse than what I thought.

He puts his hand over my leg to stop it from bouncing.
"Relax" he whispers to me.

I actually felt better, he had this reassuring tone that made me comfortable.
His warm hand on my leg made me feel safe.

He was about to remove his hand when I suddenly put my hand over his. I didn't want him to remove it, I needed to feel his warmth.

It got awkward. I quickly regretted it, causing me to remove my hand.

He grabs it back.

I look up at him. He isn't looking at me, but I could see him slightly smiling.

I turn away, trying to not make it awkward.

"Up next, y/n!"

I could feel my heart beating faster. My whole body is shivering.

"Trust me" he whispers to me.

I don't know, I can't think straight. I need to trust him, trust myself. I can do it, I will do it.

Time skip
I did it. It went better than what I thought. All I kept thinking was trust me.
I kept looking at him in the crowd. I tried so hard to stop myself, but my eyes kept lingering on him.

He looks proud and happy for me. I do trust him..
I feel safer having him take me home than the bus.
I feel safe when I see him in the school hallways, I feel safe with him.

He is a good person, a good friend.

"So.. it wasn't that bad" I nervously say, while approaching him.

"I knew you could do it"

"How?" I ask.

"Because deep down, you do trust yourself"

I pause.

"Feels like I've known you forever" I say.

It was a weird feeling. I felt like I've met him before, he just understood me.

"Really? You're just an easy person to read"

True.. I have heard that before.

"The class is over, do you want to do something?"

"I mean, hanging out with you would be better than going back home, doing nothing. Sure"

"Ohhh I know you're dying to hang out with me" he smirks.
"Don't. Flatter. Yourself"
"I won't" he winks at me.

Oh god... why is he like this..

He starts to walk a head of me, then stops.

"Oh my.. you are so slow. Come on, let's go" he says while grabbing my hand.

Oh well...
