"Have you heard from noona yet?" Jeongin frantically asked Changbin and Yura as he furiously typed on his laptop, trying to track down Areum's location. 

After he woke up this morning, and realized that Areum was not home yet, the first thing he did was try calling her. When his numerous calls went straight to voicemail, he started to panic. Within minutes, he called Chan and told him of what had happened, and the entire team showed up on his doorstep within fifteen minutes, to find Jeongin a crying mess. 

Chan was presently calling all sorts of people to tell them to keep a look out for Areum, Hyunjin and Jisung were raiding the fridge, Minho was trying to contact Felix to ask him about Areum's behavior when he met her yesterday, Seungmin was busy examining Areum's room to search for any possible clues about the case she was investigating that she may have left behind, and lastly, Changbin, Yura and Jeongin were trying to track down Areum's phone and location.

"FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME JEONGIN, WE'RE WORKING ON IT!" Yura shouted, sick of Jeongin interrupting her work every now and then.  

"YEAH? WELL YOU WOULD DO THE SAME IF CHAN WENT MISSING!" Jeongin retorted

"NO FUCKING WAY WOULD I DO THAT! I'D KNOW THAT HE CAN HANDLE HIMSELF, AND I'D PUT TRUST IN EVERYONE TO HELP ME FIND HIM! AND I WOULD REMAIN CALM! UNLIKE A CERTAIN SOMEONE!" she shouted

"UH HUH. CAUSE THAT'S TRUE. AND HOW WOULD YOU EVEN REMAIN CALM?! YOU START SCREAMING THE MOMENT SOMEONE TOUCHES YOUR FOOD!" 

"AND YOU TURN INTO A MONSTER IF SOMEONE TOUCHES YOUR BREAD!" Yura retorted

"I got 100 bucks on Yura winning" Hyunjin whispered to Jisung as they both stared at the maknaes fighting. 
"And I got 1000 on Minho hyung telling them to shut the fuck up" Jisung snorted. 

"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP! I FINALLY GOT THIS FELIX GUY TO PICK UP ONE OF MY CALLS!" Minho shouted, as Jisung sniggered and Hyunjin grimaced, handing him a 1000 bill

"Hello? Who is this?" Felix asked, his deep voice filling the room as Minho put the call on speaker
"I'm Park Sung Bin. I'm a journalist working for xxxx Newspaper. If I am correct, you are You are a graduate from xxx high school, am I right?" Minho lied, going into full on spy mode. 
"Yeah, that's right. I graduated just a few months ago." Felix replied
"Great. Would you mind answering a few questions about your time there? You see, I'm doing an article about your high school. Your feedback on the school would be highly appreciated." 
"Yeah sure, I guess I could do that." 
"My first question is, how was you experience as a senior at xxx high school?" Minho asked, deciding to start with easy questions.
"It was fine, I guess. The school's nice, the teachers teach well, I understand what they teach me. But that's normal. What I really loved were the juniors, they used respect us seniors a lot. That's difficult to find in any school these days."
"Okay...Did you happen to find love? Like, a girlfriend or something?" 
There was a silence at the other end after Minho asked this. Like Felix was not sure about what to  say.
"Yes. I did." Felix answered
"Could you tell me a bit more about her?" 
".....I don't see how this is relevant" 
"Well, sir, there are many times when people join a school after seeing the type of people it has. I'm basing the boys off of the vibe I'm getting from you. And I'm basing the girls off of a few adjectives that I think would be correct to describe your girlfriend. Since, I'm pretty sure she'd be the girl you were closest to." Minho calmly explained. 

".....Okay, in that case, she's really sweet, and kind, and wouldn't hurt a fly. She's perfect, really. She has a younger brother in the year that was below us." Felix spoke, his voice sounding dreamy
"And what about dates? Where would you usually take her for dates?" 
"It depended." 
"Depended? On what?" Minho questioned
"err....um, I don't see how this is relevant" 
"I already explained this to you sir" Minho pleaded
"Yeah, um, I just checked online, there is no journalist Park Sung Bin working for xxxx Newspaper. So then you're definitely a stalker. GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND YOU CREEP" Felix shouted, his voice going a few octaves deeper, and cut the call.

"Wait- WHAT?" Minho shouted as he tried to dial Felix's number again

"Please call him again hyung" Changbin said.
"I WOULD, BUT THE DICKHEAD'S BLOCKED ME" Minho shouted, glaring at the phone, as though doing that would make Felix unblock him

"Why doesn't Jeongin call him?" Chan spoke, calming Minho down
"Yeah, you're Ari's younger brother. Felix would talk to you" Changbin pointed at Jeongin in an accusing way. 
"We might not need to call him. I think I recognize him from all the photos in Ari's room. And if I'm correct, which I always am, Felix is coming here" Seungmin spoke as he came down the staircase, pointing at a moving figure visible through the one of the windows.

"Yeah, but wouldn't expose us? I know that Ari's not told him about us being a mafia yet" Hyunjin pointed out
"SHE HASN'T TOLD HIM YET?!" Jisung screamed, looking at Hyunjin in horror
"That doesn't matter anymore. Unnie's missing, and her boyfriend deserves to know about it. You know he'll want to know why we aren't going to the police to report this." Yura murmured, her eyes still on her laptop

"AREUM'S MISSING?!" Felix shouted 
"Hyung? How did you come in?" Jeongin asked
"Backdoor" 
"We didn't hear you" Jeongin murmured
"Are you kidding me? I literally knocked thrice and shouted hey"
"You wanna come in?" Jisung smirked
"Leave that! ONLY AUTHORIZED PEOPLE MAY ENTER THROUGH THE BACKDOOR!" Changbin shouted
"You don't get more authorized than me. I mean- I do date the owner of the house. WHO IS SOMEHOW MISSING!" Felix shouted

"Yeah...how much exactly did you hear Felix?" Hyunjin asked
"Only that she's missing. OH MY GOD. ONE OF YOU GUYS IS THAT HYUNJIN, ISN'T IT?" Felix screamed, looking at everyone in horror
"Yes. That's me. Anyway, did Areum tell you anything important yesterday? Like, you know, life changing news?" 
"No"
"Okay. One thing you should know, all of us, including Areum are part of a mafia called Stray Kidz."

Soo how about that?
I absolutely love school now. Don't get me wrong, it's still a pain in the ass, but now it's more fun.
Like yesterday, me and my friends are playing red hands on our desk (that game where you hit each other's hands to the point they turn red?), and like one guy runs out with someone's bag, and then, he enters the classroom once more, fighting with the owner of the bag. And me and my crackhead friends are cheering them on. Later, in the same period, the bag owner goes into another huge fight with two of the guys in my class who look like thugs. And then one of my friends feels left out and goes to join the fight. And during all of this, there's one girl hopping from seat to seat, smiling, and spraying chalk dust everywhere.

I think i'm realizing the difference between middle school and high school
