Class started the afternoon. First subject as History. Boring, they all wanted to go home. Especially Samuel. It was boring with only Jihoon, Jinyoung and Hyeop around. The voices that would wake you up are Daniel, Seongwoo and Youngmin.

It's only now that the four of them realized that those three are older, and noisy.

Samuel glanced at Somi who's sitting with Sejeong. They look like they're getting along.

"Last year, I bought a sorting hat adding it to my collection. The piece that's hard to find is the golden snitch that flaps its wings." Sejeong told Somi when she's not even that much of a fan that actually hunt for collectibles.

"Daniel oppa has a golden snitch but I haven't seen it yet." Somi said just to relate as long as the teacher's still not there. "He has all the Deathly Hallows too, back in Yongin." she said.

"Really? Kang Daniel really is my rival in collections. Remember the Hogwarts Phone case? I knew then that he's something else." Sejeong babbled.

"The geeks united." Sohye cut off giggling. Both Yoojung and Pinky felt embarrassed of her.

"Sohye! Shut up. We're juniors now. Can't we just live your lives like normal people. Have other friends and date peacefully?" Pinky told her since Yoojung couldn't say it. She's too afraid to speak up. Three years ago, she had no friends and joining Sohye was the only comfort she had.

Talking back would be a crime.

"Date peacefully because you like that good looking guy? He's a cousin of the disgusting Kim Samuel." she said followed by an insulting laugh, making Pinky glance at Jinyoung and Jihoon.

"Good Afternoon class!" the history teacher finally came. "I see you're lucky to choose my history class! I'm new, Lee Mark imnida. Stand from your seats because I'll be sorting you to your houses." he said lifting his computer.

"Single file because you'll be sorted to your houses. Fist row will be Slitherin, second Ravenclaw, followed by Hufflepuff and then Gryffindor. Since history is quite boring, I'm adding a twist. The whole semester, you'll be working as a group and points will be added." he announced as the students took the quiz one by one.

You can tell by now that only Sejeong was excited.

"Gee, shall we drop out now?" Sohye said, mocking the young professor.

"This sucks!" this kid Taedong hissed too. "Can we just do a vampire concept? Have an Alpha and Luna instead of class representatives and class president." he whined.

"Geek!" a guy from the back fake coughed.

Mr. Lee frowned, grabbing his pen to throw it on the guy who said it. "I don't want name calling on my class." he scolded.

"Now if you don't want me, drop out!" he said making the class silent.

Does he know about Samuel?

What does he know about people dropping out of this school?

"When you're out of my class, you can act all high and mighty, but inside this classroom, nobody's fucking better than anyone, unless you don't want to be in a group, you'll do everything alone." he said.

"Gryffindor! I can't wait to tell Daniel." Sejeong said excitedly, interrupting Mr. Lee. It seems lile this girl is the only one excited about this.

"Good! Someone's already excited." he said checking out if they're being honest.

"Daniel?" asks Somi.

"Yes! You know what, Daniel's kinda cute and hot and I'm not even sure but I wanna be close to him." she said. Old technique to make a girl like a guy. Compliment him with exaggerated praise words, and the other might notice it and start to develop feelings for him. And she wanted Somi to notice it, maybe then, she'll start to like her and get away from Samuel.

"I got Slitherin, I could be Draco Malfoy." Hyeop said chuckling.

"I got Ravenclaw." Bae Jinyoung said sadly, because Jihoon got Ravenclaw. They won't be at the same row, he won't have friends.

Jinyoung's slow at making friends.

He glanced at Samuel who's currently taking the quiz and he's Gryffindor. Sejeong's eyes widened.

Cool, right now, Mr. Lee is going to be his favorite teacher.

Just a few prayers and Samuel will be all hers. And she started to pray that Somi won't be Gryffindor.

Next one is Somi to take the quiz. Samuel was behind her, playing her hair, wishing to get the same house but she's Ravenclaw.

"Somi! Thank goodness." Jinyoung said grabbing her hands.

"Yah! Hands off." Samuel possessively pulled her hand. Sejeong wanted that. But for now she'll still work on getting close to Samuel.

"Go to your seats and we need to start!" Mr. Lee said making them groan.

"Samuel, we can sit together since I'm new, you're new. We're both Gryffindor." Sejeong said making Samuel roll his eyes.

"Plus! I need to ask more about Daniel. He collects Harry Potter things right? Does he have them all, I want to give him a gift but I don't want to give him something that he has." she said following Samuel on his seat.

"Daniel likes specific collectibles. He doesn't like cheap ass things." Samuel lied.

"I think we like the same thing. I mean our phone case were similar." she raised it, and it was remarkably look alike. Except Daniel's phone has broken screen. Pretty much just how it represents everything that he touches break into pieces.

"Do you like my cousin?" Samuel asked straightforward.

Sejeong but her lips, thinking for a second. But why does she have to think. Of course she have to say yes. It's the plan.

"I'm not sure yet." she said, mentally slapping herself. If she says yes Samuel might back off. It's what Daniel told her.

But when Samuel asked her that, why did she feel nervous and confused all of a sudden. She's sure that she doesn't like Daniel that way. Of course there's that Harry Potter stuff but there's nothing else.

"Not sure? Of course, you have to think hard about that, Daniel's repulsive. Who would like him?" Samuel smirked.

Is he?

Sejeong asked herself. She spent a little time with Daniel but he's sweet. He gives useful advices and he's a gentleman. He doesn't hold grudges either.

"Take out a sheet of paper and number it from one to 14. Number 1 write C, number 2 write L, number 3 write A, number 4 and 5 write S, number 6 write D, number 7 write I, number 8 write S, number 9 write M, number 10 wite I, for numbers 11 and 12 write S, 13 write E and for 14 write D." he was so fast that they couldn't ask something.

He haven't even discussed something and he has the audacity to conduct a quiz that's super confusing.

After that he saluted walking away the classroom.

"What happened?" they all asked.

"How stupid! He didn't take the papers!" Sohye giggled.

"It's you who's stupid!" Woo Jinyoung said before taking his bag walking out to meet up with Moonbok.

"What?" Sohye asked.

"Read your paper." Woo Jinyoung said before he left the room.

1. C
2. L
3. A
4. S
5. S
6. D
7. I
8. S
9. M
10. I
11. S
12. S
13. E
14. D

"Oh shit! He's really cool!" Hyeop said.

"I love this school." he added, making Sohye frown. How did she not see it? She felt stupid all of a sudden. And the person who corrected her was crazy Woo Jinyoung.

...

At the seniors, Daniel took the seat near the door. After the class is dismissed, he wanted to be the first one out.

Besides, in front of the class he can familiarize himself with their faces.

"Daniel, why do we have to sit here?" Seongwoo asked, "I wanna sit with Youngmin." he pointed at Youngmin who's sitting at the back of the classroom. His head buried on his forearms on the table.

"But the door." Daniel said.

"There's two doors shit ass." Seongwoo said pulling Daniel towards Youngmin.

"Sure we sit here like delinquents." Daniel rolled his eyes. Why was even Youngmin sleeping in class? He's not Samuel. He's not allowed to sleep in class.

"Good afternoon class. I'm Jessica Jung, you can call me Miss Jess or Miss Jung. You're supposed to meet with Mr. Lee Taeyong, Math class but we decided to meet our Homeroom to organize before the real class begins." she started before writing on the board.

President:

"Today, we're going to elect our class officers." she smiled. The way she smile made the world become brighter. At least that's what Seongwoo thought.

"The table is now open for Class President." she said, and then here comes Daniel raising his hands.

"I'd like to nominate Lim Youngmasdfffg!" his words were muffled when Youngmin covered his mouth. This ass is just pretending to be asleep,how can he move that fast from his seat to Daniel.

Of course he would nominate the guy who's asleep, it would be fun. But it turns out he's not really asleep.

Hun rolled his eyes at the new kids. Cool, more freaks to complete the animal kingdom.

"Who would you like to nominate?" Miss Jung asked, but Youngmin fearlessly sealed Daniel's mouth with his hands.

Good thing this one weirdo came inside without greetings to the homeroom teacher.

He scanned but all the seats are taken, and his seat was taken by the new kid.

"No space for another loser!" Kwangjin said before they laughed.

"That's not nice Kwangjin." Miss Jung said but she was laughing with them. "Kim Taemin, you can borrow one on the other classroom, Mr. Lee is there." she pointed at the other classroom across them.

"Nae." he responded before nodding at Moonbok.

So it means he's one of them.

"He's friends with you?" Seongwoo asked their new friend.

"Yes. And Youngmin's sitting on his original seat." he pointed on the chair near the back door.

"Shit! I should be the one borrowing extra seats. Sorry, I'm new." Youngmin said going our of the back door. He tried to catch Taemin to apologize but he already entered the other classroom.

"Excuse me Mr. Lee."

"Yes Kim Taemin? Are you Kim Taemin? The last time we saw each other you keep calling me TY Track!" Mr. Lee challenged.

"But everybody calls you that behind your back. I just thought you should know." he said.

Mr. Lee smiled, glancing at the whole class with their guilty faces.

"Why are you here kid? Classes are starting. Are you going to confess on someone? Because your honest, I can give you this one chance." Mr. Lee told him, hut it was a joke. More like a sarcastic insult. But of course Taemin wouldn't know that.

Youngmin chuckled because he's only there for a chair. Not a confession.

"Oooh! In that case, Cathy." Kim Taemin said shyly.

"Wooooohooooo!" the class went wild, making Miss Jung's class run outside to see what's happening.

"Eeew! The freak likes Cathy." they started screaming.

"Go ahead and accept him. You can be the weird couple." someone screamed.

"Shut up Hongbin." Cathy hissed.

"Eeew! It'll be beauty and the beast!" another one screamed.

"More like beauty and the weirdo!"

Hearing those made Youngmin angry. This was so much different from his last school. On that school, they're ranked base on class rankings. The rank 1 rules the school. He rules the school and received special treatment all the time.

But this school is different. Why is everybody calling Taemin a freak? He looks decent, except the fact that he has the guts to confess just because the teacher told him that he can.

"Cathy, I liked you since kindergarten, can we go out after class?" he confessed despite of the noise.

"Class! Quiet unless you want to run laps with Mr. Nakamoto!" Mr. Lee warned.

"Cathy, what's your response?" Mr. Lee asked even though Cathy looks disgusted.

"Sorry. I don't have an answer now." she apologized bowing.

Taemin smiled genuinely. "I have a chance then. I'll wait for you Cathy. But for now, Mr. Lee can I borrow an extra seat?" he asked but there's no available seat.

"There's none." they said.

"The cafeteria has many seats. We can share the desk." Daniel interrupted.

Everybody stared at him as if he's a freak show. Seongwoo and Youngmin were embarrassed. Of course Taemin would reject that offer.

But then he smiled.

"Good idea!" Taemin said giving Daniel a high five. "After you." he said gesturing at the window, Daniel didn't think twice and jumped thought it's the second floor, followed by Taemin.

Apparently it's easier to exit the building that way.

"Woah! That new student really loves being with the freaks." a student muttered.

"Kang Daniel! You still didn't go to the Guidance Councelor! Come back here!" Mr. Lee jumped even though he's afraid of heights.

"Cool! He broke another rule didn't he?" Seongwoo told Youngmin.

"Feels good doesn't it, Cathy?" this tall guy from the back muttered.

Cathy lowered her head to her desk.

"Guys are going crazy over you even though you're not interested, why not just tell the guy to piss off?" he asked.

"What's your problen Eunki? Cathy's not bothering you." This girl sitting beside Cathy responded for her.

"Eunice?" Eunki chuckled. "I didn't know you're Cathy's spokes person."

"And I didn't know you're Kim Taemin's friend. The last time I checked, you stood here while he's being bullied." Eunice replied, mocking him.

"Yes, I did! Just like what you did a while ago while your friend is adding another guy onto her spell. That must've felt good, having another guy fulfill your needs of attention." he said.

"What's your point Eunki?" Yebin, another friend of Cathy asked.

"My point is, other girls out there might deserve the attention Taemin has been giving Cathy since we're kids but she wanted to have it, it's just that you don't want to have him because this school thinks he's a freak." Eunki said before grabbing his bag. "I saw you Cathy. I saw you that day." he said before totally leaving the building.

Here comes Mr. Lee too, yelling at the students crowding the hallways.

"Class B! Kindly go back to Miss Jung's class." he yelled.

"Did you capture Kang Daniel, sir?" asks Seongwoo.

"Nope! The kid's like a ninja. I saw him climbing the building. Can't he just use the stairs?" he asked.

Youngmin and Seongwoo's eyes met knowing what Daniel would answer that.

They both faced Mr. Lee before entering the room and Saw Daniel at the same table as Taemin. He's sitting at a blue chair from the cafeteria.

"Don't we have chairs from the storage rooms?" Youngmin asked Miss Jessica.

"We have to check the other rooms first." She responded.

"Just say it!" Moonbok said. "We freaks don't deserve to be treated fairly. If it's a popular kid who doesn't have a chair, they will be treated like Kings." he said making Miss Jessica frown.

"Of course not!" she said.

"Please just shut up, remember when you weren't a subject teacher and worked for the Student's Affairs Office? Me and Hun both did the same offense, but you treated him with special treatment." he said.

"Shut up freak. You're ugly accept it!" Hun said.

"See! That's how we're treated here. You guys are so unfortunate to have transferred here." Moonbok faced Daniel, Youngmin and Seongwoo.

"We're going to elect the class president tomorrow. Class dismissed!" Miss Jung said.

(Flashback)

Moonbok took off his ID after entering the school because it was irritating. A student prefect caught him and his ID was confiscated.

"Go to the Student's Affairs Office if you want to get your ID." she said, and so Moonbok did after class. It turns out, Hun made the same offense.

"Got my ID confiscated, you?" Moonbok asked.

"Me too. I took it off and got caught on the faculty." Hun chuckled.

What's funny though? First offense was warning from the guidance counselor. She will be ranting about stupid school policy that doesn't even exist on other school and that are useless in real life.

Hun's phone started ringing before he excused himself.

"You can come inside now." Miss Jung's secretary let him in and there's Miss Jung on her chair.

"What did you do?" she asked in a furious voice.

"I removed my ID when I entered." he answered.

"And you think it was cool? You thought you're a badass? You think what you did is cool!" She continued to babble.

Moonbok felt awful.

"Go to the cafeteria and have two hours community service." she said getting rid of him.

After 1 hour, here comes Hun too. They mopped the floor, washed dishes and collected trash and plates.

After another hour, the Student's Affairs Office called the cafeteria summoning both Hun and Moonbok.

But Hun's phone started ringing again, excusing himself.

Moonbok came inside the guidance office alone and here's Miss Jung glaring at him. "I can't find your ID! Find the prefect who collected it." she said but then grabbed him.

"Where's Hun though?" she asked.

"Someone called him." Moonbok told her.

"Can you call him, he needs to take his ID." she said in a soft voice since it's a favor she's asking.

Moonbok called but his phone was busy. "Maybe he's still talking on the phone." he said.

"Lunch is almost over. Did you guys eat?" she asked. "What if he hasn't eaten yet. That kid really." she said in a concerned expression.

"Wait! I did give him only one hour of Community Service, maybe he already ate." she said with a satisfied expression.

Moonbok started to feel uncomfortable.

After excusing himself, he tried to find the student prefect. He doesn't really know her name but he knows what she looks like. She sings every school program everybody would recognize her.

He walked to the music building and searched every music room. And there she was, practicing. He knocked on the door, interrupting her. "Excuse me but Miss Jung told me to get my ID to you. Apparently you forgot to give it to her." he said politely.

"No, I gave it right away." she said.

"But she told me to find you." Moonbok said in an irritated way. Why wouldn't he?

He did a community service two hours when Hun did it one hour only. His ID is missing and he still needs to catch up to class for a quiz and his stomach is empty. He felt dizzy and unwell.

"Wait! You're pale. Do you want to go to the infirmary?" The student prefect asked. "You're Moonbok right? I'm Joona." she introduced herself.

"I just want my ID, please." he said weakly.

"I'll go with you, let's find it." she reassured, going with Moonbok.

They went there without permission, Joona opened the door, and there's Miss Jung with Hun, having a make out session.

"You're a bad girl Miss Jung. You even made me do Community Sevice." Hun whispered.

"You're lucky you only had 1 hour. That ugly ass kid had two hous, not to mention it's his first offense. It's your third offence. You should be wiping dirty floors for 1 month." she said making Moonbok shamelessly entering the door, walking towards the drawers to find his ID, then walked away.

(End of Flashback)

Since then Joona and him couldn't look in each other's eyes knowing that they know a secret that none of them can reveal. Because nobody will believe them.

"That's fucked up!" Daniel said while they're
