A/N

Usually I get around a thousand of you reading each chapter. If you all donated a £1 I would have enough money to go to 24Ks concert. 😂 My PayPal is [email protected].

Just kidding! Give your money to a charity instead, or whatever you want to do with it.

I wave goodbye to BamBam as he returns the gesture and walks down the heavily packed corridor.

Today I feel empty as ever, with my Mother still in hospital and BamBam mourning my day only gets worse. Not that I blame BamBam or wish that he didn't come to me, I guess I'm just tired.

At least now I don't have to worry about BTS bullying me, it's another thing about Hwasa though. I'm still technically dating Hoseok, and I'm pretty sure they can't protect me forever.

No one seems to care that my arm is in a bandage when I try to get to class. School must make people lose their humanity. Every few seconds someone nudges my arm making me wince in pain.

Eventually I get to my class and flip myself down on my seat, I am alone in the class apart from a few students I vaguely recognise.

All night I was worrying about my Mother, it was past visiting hours after Hoseok dropped me off at my house so I didn't bother going to the hospital, instead I was pacing my room.

I decide to sleep until Mr Sehun arrives.

"Welcome your new classmate, Yugyeom."

I slowly open my eyes and rub them tiredly.

How long have I been asleep?

At the front of the class stand Mr Sehun and Yugyeom. Mr Sehun seems bored and Yugyeom is smiling cheerfully at the class.

I haven't seen someone smile so happily in school for a very long time.

"So, Yugyom," Mr Sehun says dryly.

"It's Yugyeom."

"Where do you want to sit?" Mr Sehun ignores Yugyeom.

"Hmm," Yugyeom scans through the class until he sees me. "I want to sit next to Lucy!"

"I can't think of a reason why." Mr Sehun mutters whilst Yugyeom practically skips to the desk next to me.

"Hello, Lucy!" He beams before sitting down.

"Hello, Lucy." Someone mimicks.

I turn around to kill the person who did that to see Jungkook scowling at Yugyeom.

"Have you got anything to say?" I ask getting his attention.

"He's annoying." He states.

"So are you." I reply and turn back around.

"I didn't know you were such a savage." Yugyeom laughs.

I wink at him and turn my attention to Mr Sehun who is drawing something on the whiteboard.

"Psst," I stop writing about why abortion is okay and look over to Yugyeom . "You look really pretty today."

"Shut up, you blind person." I raise an eyebrow at him before returning to my work.

"I'm not blind, you're just-"

"That better not be you talking, Yugyeom." Mr Sehun says not glancing from his computer screen.

"Sorry Sir." Yugyeom replies sincerely.

It's not long after when I hear Yugyeom yell quietly.

I look down to see Jungkook kicking the back of Yugyeom's legs.

"Cut it out Jungkook before I turn around and snap your legs off." I whisper loud enough for him to hear.

"It's okay," Yugyeom smiles happily. "He's just jealous you like me more than him."

I hold in my breath.

I can't believe he just said that. Jungkook is going to kill him.

"Take it back," I whisper to Yugyeom. "Now!"

"What did you say? You do like me more than Jungkook? I mean, it doesn't take much." Yugyeom says.

What is he doing?

Jungkook stops kicking him.

"See? It worked." Yugyeom smiles before returning to his work.

"I'm not so sure." I mutter picking up my pen.

"I forgot to ask, but what happened to your arm?" Yugyeom asks not looking up from his work.

"Fell down the stairs."

"Ouch," Yugyeom winces. "Did you go to the hospital?'"

"Yep."

"And they said?"

"Can't remember."

"That's a little silly." He laughs quietly.

I reply with a small smile, like the reaction when you see something on the internet and comment 'lmao' when really you're just smiling a little.

"Did Jackson tell you anything yesterday?" He asks quietly.

"No?" I reply sketching a baby.

"Oh, okay, it doesn't matter then."

"Why? What was he going to tell me?" I ask curiosity taking over.

"I'm not allowed to say..."

"You can't do this to me, my curiosity will kill me." I beg.

"Sorry but I'm sworn to secrecy." He looks over to me and puts his finger over his lips.

"God damn you, Yugyeom." I say.

"Sorry." He says cutely.

"You're quite cute, aren't you?" I smile.

"What makes you think that?" He replies doing a peace sign with his fingers.

I shake my head and try to focus on my work.

The bell rings before long making all of us quickly stuff all of our things into our bags.

Lunch time.

I feel someone's hand on my shoulder.

"Are you going to be eating with us today?" Yugyeom smiles at me squeezing my shoulder.

"Sure," I smile back. "I don't have a lot of choice of who I sit with."

"I'll wait for you outside of the classroom." He says and walks out of the classroom.

I quickly place all my books into my bag. I look around the classroom to see I'm the only one in it.

I hear shouting coming from outside of the classrooom.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

I put my bag on and peer outside of the room to see what's happening, unfortunately my height doesn't let me see much as everyone is crowding round whatever is happening.

Getting on my hands and knees, for the second time this week, I crawl in between legs hoping no one decides to look down.

I stand up rubbing by knees once I get to the front. I look up to see someone grabbing another by the throat and pushing him into the lockers.

I squint to see who it is. It's them. Can I not leave them for one second?

Marching up to them I grab Jungkook by the collar and yank him off. Yugyeom slides to the floor gasping for air.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I snap at him as Jungkook stares angrily at the floor. "Look at me!"

He looks at me and furrows his eyebrows.

"He ask-"

"Spare me the bullshit." I interrupt him. "Do you think it's acceptable to beat him up?"

"He knew that he was winding me up!" Jungkook shouts as I pull Yugyeom up from the floor. "That annoying little prick!"

"And what do you think you are?" I shout back.

"Ooooh, burn." Yugyeom laughs. "She really does like me more than you."

"Shut up!" Jungkook shouts and raises his fist.

He misses Yugyeom and instead punches me in the cheek.

I fall to the floor.

"Oh my God, I'm so so sorry, Lucy! I didn't- Shit!" Jungkook says his voice breaking.

"You just hit her you fucking bastard!" I hear someone shout.

I look over to see Jackson and BamBam standing in front of Jungkook.

"Someone ought to give you a lesson in why you don't hit girls." Jackson growls grabbing Jungkook by the collar.

I stand up with the help of Yugyeom.

"Don't," I say to Jackson. "He's not worth it."

Jungkook looks at me but automatically looks down.

"I didn't mean-"

"Let's go." BamBam says grabbing my hand.

"What's happened?" Taehyung appears from the crowd. "Lucy, who did that to you?"

"Take a wild guess." I spit and let BamBam lead me away.

Jackson walks in front of us whilst Yugyeom walks beside me.

"Are you okay?" BamBam asks.

I break into tears.
