Today was a new day. The day where I try to make things better with Moon Bin since our last encounter wasn't exactly ideal. It's Friday so it's the only chance I'll get before the weekend or else I'll have to wait two whole days. As I got ready for school, I put on light make up like usual and pinned half my hair up with a bow, pulling strands out the sides. I grabbed my backpack and walked out the door.

Once I got to school, I stood at my locker waiting for Bin. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure walking slowly walking down the hall. I turned my head and saw Bin. He usually has an uninviting look on his face, but today he looked like a sad puppy. I wanted to cheer him up.

"Hey Bin!" I waved and smiled at him.

He looked up at me and waved weakly.

I sighed and closed my locker. I slowly made my way over to him. "Bin?"

He didn't even acknowledge me and closed his locker and walked away. Now he's giving me the cold shoulder? I must've really hurt his feelings. I scoffed. Why is he being so sensitive anyway? He's the biggest jerk in schoo- wait, this is the problem. He really is misunderstood! He fronts likes he's big and bad, but he's really in touch with his feelings. I started walking to my class. This is a major breakthrough! I'm starting to understand him, or maybe not at all. I don't know anymore. All I know is that I have to try to talk to him again later today. As I turned the corner, I felt someone walk up next to me.

"Why are you trying to talk to Bin all of a sudden?" I turned my head and saw my friend Vernon.

"What?" I was surprised because he came out of nowhere.

"Bin. I saw you walking with him yesterday."

"Oh, yeah, so?"

He put his hands up defensively. "Nothing, I just think it's weird. He doesn't talk to anyone unless it's to tell them to get out the way."

"I know, but I want to talk to him," I mumbled.

"Why?"

I rolled my eyes. Must he be so nosy? "Because I want to. I'm trying to see if he can open up to me."

"Are you trying to fix him or something?"

"In a way, yes."

"Well, I wouldn't bother. He's a lost cause, you shouldn't waste your time."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "What do you mean?" I looked up at him.

"I don't know, I just don't trust him."

"He's not that bad. He's just misunderstood," I mumbled.

"Oh don't give me that crap. He's scum. Guys like him don't deserve your time."

What does he mean my time? "That's enough, okay? Just let me do what I want," I said.

"Fine, but when he's a jerk to you, don't come crying to me with hurt feelings. I already saw him ignore you this morning," He said, shoving his hands in his pockets.

I sighed as I remembered the disappointing result of earlier. "It's just a bump in the road. We'll get over it."

"What, are you a couple now?"

I blushed. "What? N-No, leave me alone!"

He smirked. "Fine, now get to class, nerd."

I couldn't help but grin at his comment. Typical Vernon. Just when you think he's serious, he does a 180 and goes back to his goofy self. "You too, dork."

Throughout the day, I thought of new ways to approach Bin and get him to actually reply. At lunch, I always sit with my friends, but I wanted to find Bin. He never eats in here, I don't even know if he eats at all. I asked around to see if anyone knew where he was until someone finally say he saw him on east campus in the back courtyard. I made my way to him and when I got to the doors, I saw a small girl peaking at him through the window.

"Bin, why can't I tell you how I feel?" She whispered to herself.

My eyes widened and my heart beat faster. I heard something I probably shouldn't have. I stopped walking and watched her.

"If only you will talk to me. Open up to me, let me be the girl that changes you."

I tip-toed back around the corner. Oh my god, she's in love with Bin! She wants to do the same thing I'm doing! But she loves him. She wants to be the girl that changes him. Maybe I should back off then. But...I don't want to. I mean, I don't love him, but...I like him? No! I don't, I just want to help a friend. I just want to make an impact in someone's life. I'm not trying to make him fall in love with me like that girl probably would.

I sighed. I shouldn't intervene. That girl will be crushed if I take her place. Maybe Vernon is right, I should just leave him alone. But I can't leave things like this. I don't want him to think I think he's a jerk. I walked over to the corner and peaked around. The girl was still there. I bit my lip and mustered up some courage. I'm sorry girl, but I need to do this.

As I was going towards the door, the ball rang. Soon the halls were flooded with people. Bin came back inside and walked in the opposite direction. School was almost over and I still hadn't talked to him yet. Maybe I will have to just wait until Monday.
