Lucky You
The teacher nodded with a smile as she looks around the room, "you may sit next to Jeno," at the sound of his name, he panics and shyly raised his hand a bit.
Renjun was about to visibly scoff at the pathetic hand since it's literally at the very back of the classroom and he can't even see it properly, but then softens when he saw his seatmate looking down with his hood up.
He nodded and bowed once again before heading towards his seat, he sees his seatmate scooting away until he hits the wall and plays with the hem of his hoodie.
He sits and smiles at him after placing his backpack down, "Hi," he waves. He gets confused at how his classmates start to whisper and laugh at each other, seemingly gossiping.
Jeno, however, only nodded at him and looks back at the window, it's not because he's rude, but because he doesn't really trust people these days.
Fortunately, Renjun understood as he only smiled and looks back at the teacher who's proceeding the lesson for today, Jeno stares off and was about to fall asleep.
The sound of the students screaming and the teacher yelling at them when the bell rang indicating class is over, he jolts up and rubs his eyes as he looks around to see the room almost empty.
Renjun stayed a bit and arranged his stuff in his bag, he then sees Jeno standing up at the corner of his eyes and goes to stop him, "wait!"
Jeno flinches at the sound and looks at Renjun, he tilts his head, still refusing to speak first. Renjun smiled and stood up slinging his backpack onto his shoulder.
He hands out a few papers being clipped together, "take it," he said, Jeno flickers his eyes between the papers and Renjun, the boy laughs airily and nudges it towards him, "I noticed you didn't took some notes and fell asleep a little bit."
Jeno nodded and hesitantly taking the notes with his eyes still on Renjun as if the boy was going to attack him anytime sooner, the elder took a step closer and he flinches before moving back.
Renjun bits back a smile, "Sorry," he apologizes, "but I insist," he nudges it and Jeno slowly takes it.
"Thanks," he mumbles quietly before turning on his heels and walks out of the classroom. Weirdly enough, Renjun had caught up to him.
"Hey," he smiles and walks beside him, Jeno looks to see people looking at them as they whisper and he looks down fixing his mask.
"So–"
Jeno abruptly stops and turns towards Renjun, "listen," he starts, "if you're here to make fun of me, do it later or something, I'm too tired for it," he snaps.
Renjun bites the inside of his cheeks, "well lucky you, I'm not," he said, Jeno was confused and he continues, "I was confused at first as to why they stare at you in a mocking way, but when we walked out and how you acted made sense."
Jeno raised a brow and Renjun took that as a sign to continue, "why don't we talk about this while eating? I'm starving," he whines.
He successfully and surprisingly made Jeno laugh, he smiles when he saw the raven haired clutching his stomach as his eyes turned into moons.
He has a good feeling about this, a new friend who's not a bitch for once maybe, Jeno calms down and nodded before beckoning him to follow him.
He does so and gets confused at the route, he is a new student, but as far as he knows from the mini tour and the school map, the cafeteria was at the other way.
"Isn't the cafeteria that way?" He asked pointing at the direction, Jeno slows down and looks, he shrugs as he fixes his glasses.
"We're eating at the school garden," Renjun at first wasn't sure if he's happy about it, but then sees his eyes turning into pretty moons again, He's smiling.
He nodded and smiled back before they walk towards the garden, it was pretty and not a lot of students, Jeno sits on the bench and points at the seat across from him.
Renjun takes his seat and opens his lunchbox as Jeno took out his bag of bread, "so, where do we start?" The raven haired asked.
"At the very start," Renjun shrugs and Jeno rolls his eyes playfully feeling comfort towards the new kid, maybe he's not like them.
"Fine, just promise not to tell anyone about this," he says, "like anyone, this is between the two of us only," Renjun nodded and made a cross sign on his chest.
"On my life," he said, Jeno nodded before taking down his mask so he could eat. Renjun brightens his eyes at the sight, his new friend was pretty.
In a platonic way, He's still trying to heal from his last break up but no doubt Jeno is pretty. Jeno notices him staring and flushes, "stop that," he whispers.
Renjun laughs and takes a bite of his food, "sorry, but you're really pretty Jeno-yah," he shrugs. Jeno rolls his eyes and takes a bite of his bread as he starts.
"Well, I can't believe I'm saying this but Lee Donghyuck is my secret stepbrother," he said, Renjun gasps but nodded letting him know to continue.
He does know about Lee Donghyuck, word in school won't stay with you forever and is easily delivered from one person to another. Plus, they weren't good at whispering anyways.
"To keep this short, I'm the school's loser, Donghyuck doesn't like me, my stepmother as well, my father is a seaman but keeps in contact with me, my biological mother died giving birth to me, this school is shit and everyone hates me, and no one knows except the last part" he shrugs.
Renjun softens and nodded as Jeno licks his lips, "I have a secret job at night," he inhales, he doesn't know why he's telling this to a new kid but he feels like his guts are telling him to, "I work at a bar, as a prostitute to earn money for myself."
Renjun widens his eyes and almost drops his spoon, "why?" He asked baffled.
Jeno shrugs, "because I need it, the money, Donghyuck gets what he wants unlike me," he said taking another bite of his bread.
Renjun nodded understandingly, "I wish I could help you," he said sincerely, Jeno shakes his head and wipes his mouth messily.
"Nah, it's fine," he waves off but Renjun still feels bad, "I'll ask for help when I need it," he smiled tiredly.
Renjun nodded as Jeno speaks up again, "oh and the reason why we ate here is because of two reasons, One the cafeteria is like a zoo and anyone can hear us and Two the rooftop has a few boys smoking weed or something."
The elder scrunched his nose as Jeno laughs, "ew," he mutters, "really?" The raven haired hums and points at the rooftop of the school to see a few visible smokes and some kids laughing at nothing.
"Also beware of some restrooms, it's either a sex room or a drugs room," he warns nonchalantly, "I suggest to do your business ten minutes before class so you won't get in trouble for disturbing the class and running into trouble," he adds.
Renjun nodded keeping the information in his head, he noticed Jeno doesn't have a drink and he slides his juice box to the younger, he might of met him just today for a few minutes but already knows the boy is too humble.
"I insist, take it," he said and grabs another one, grape this time from his bag, "I've got plenty," Jeno smiles bashfully and takes the offer.
Renjun smiles satisfied he made Jeno trust him and vice versa, they'll get through highschool together.
