Song Baram and Kim Hyjoon were walking in a haughty nature, as was common of senior students. With each step, they seemed to be telling everyone, "I've spent 12 years working with all of you and I'm very fragile from it, with barely any sanity left, now I deserve respect and admiration."
It was a good strategy for them, as it usually discouraged anyone from trying to talk to them.
But that couldn't always be the case.
Hyjoon jumped in fright when an arm slung around her shoulder, but to the left, Baram only grinned widely as Chanyeol confidently joined them.
"How's my favourite little junior? Did you request Mrs. Jeon for history, because if you didn't, I will actually kick your ass when you start failing-"
"Take it easy, I always listen to you, don't I?"
Baram smirked, pinching Chanyeol's cheeks and letting out an ugly cooing sound.
Chanyeol's face scrunched up cutely, and Hyjoon stared at them in disgust, knocking Chanyeol's arm off of her. She caught sight of Yifan on the floor, and she slowly formed her hand into a gun and pressed it to her temple. Yifan only laughed at her pain.

Kyungsoo scowled as he walked through the hallways. If one more person mistook him for a freshman, he would actually leave the school. He had only changed his hairstyle, surely he didn't look that different.
His friend Jongdae loved the change, as now Kyungsoo 'looked more like his style of friends'. Kyungsoo felt the urge to shave his entire head off at that remark, but he had resisted, as he thought he looked awesome with his newly styled red hair. He thought he looked rather grown up, and as a 15 year old, that was very important to him.
He hastened on as he noticed Jongin in the corner of his eye, a few paces away and closing in. He had met the now-freshman at a party last month, and since then, the kid had tried to talk to him every time they ran into each other. Kyungsoo was not happy about it.
"Oi, Soo, you changed your hair. That's mad dope."
Kyungsoo let out a huff that could hardly be considered a 'thank you'.
"Well hey, do you want to maybe.... you know, smoke with me and the guys?"
Kyungsoo scoffed, "I changed my hair, I didn't lose all my brain cells."
Jongin stood frozen as Kyungsoo stormed off, although he quickly shook it off when he caught sight of Sehun.
"Oi!" He caught Sehun's attention, and the boy quickly paused, allowing Jongin to catch up.
"Where have you been?"
"Well, I was in line to talk to the counselor," Sehun nervously fixed his hair, "and then all of a sudden these new kids came in, right, and they're like, wow."
Jongin grinned, "oh, was it the foreign exchange kids? I heard they were hot. I wish freshman could be shadowed, it's not fair that only upperclassmen get to do that."
"Yeah, but the exchange students shadow people in their grade, and there's never freshman that are willing to spend their first year in another country. Oh man, the principal welcomed me to the school with them, and now they know I'm a freshman. I didn't even get to seem cool to them, especially... well, I don't know."
Jongin snapped, an idea forming, "you'll help me out with something, right?"

Baekhyun burst into the office, fixing his sweater and adjusting his bag before looking at the various students in the chairs. He smiled sweetly, "hey! I'm here to pick up," he paused to look at his hand before continuing, "a Yixeng and a Loo Han?"
Two boys stood, the third scowling and muttering under his breath, "where's my stupid guide?"
Baekhyun ushered them over with a sly smirk, as if he was about to tell them the hottest gossip of the year. "You two, follow me."
Yixing aimlessly searched the hallway, hardly keeping up with Baekhyun, and the slightly irritated boy settled for holding onto Yixing's arm to keep him from wandering off. "Can I call you Han?"
Lu Han shook his head, "just call me LuHan."
Baekhyun nodded, his lips pursed slightly. "Well, technically you belong to Chanyeol, but you can hang out with me and Yixing whenever you want."
The boy nodded, looking at his agenda absentmindedly, "do you know when soccer tryouts are?"
"End of the week, why? You gonna try out?"
"Duh," Lu Han spoke, and Baekhyun laughed, turning away to search for his tall friend.
Noticing the boy between two girls, Baekhyun shook his head as he assumed the worst - or best.
"Let's give him a second to finish charming those girls. What I want you to do is just lean and stare, it always attracts his attention. I think his kink is being stared at, because it never fails, and honestly - oh wait, okay, here he comes. Hey, Chanyeol, this is LuHan, he's your shadow."
Chanyeol grinned, leaning into him, and Lu Han pulled away, though Chanyeol didn't seem to mean anything by it.
"Hey, I haven't seen that kind of hair in like five minutes, when Yifan walked in -"
"Fuck you."
"Oh! Yifan, I was just talking about you. This is LuHan, and..."
Yixing seemed to just realize that there were other people here, and he turned with a smile, though his eyes were rather unfocused, as if he was still taking in the new atmosphere. "I'm Yixing."
Yifan nodded, his face bored, and he quickly left, without so much as a goodbye.
Baekhyun clicked his tongue, staring at the boy with an unreadable expression before he focused on his friends again.
"So, you guys ready to start Hell? Stick with me, and I'll make sure it's as easy as possible, nobody will mess with you-"
"Hey fag-"
"Eat shit and die," Baekhyun spoke the words with such an angelic smile that onlookers had to doubt their own ears.
"That may be true, but people will definitely mess with you Baek. Are you sure you don't mind? I'll totally talk to them if you want."
Baekhyun waved Chanyeol off, "Yeol, you're the definition of gentle giant. And besides, more than half of those dimwits will be begging to fuck me by the end of term."

Sehun burst into the office for the second time that morning, his chest heaving as he focused on the boy from this morning. He quickly moved over to him, gasping for a moment before speaking. "I apologize! I'm nervous and I completely forgot that you were in my grade, and you need to follow me, uh, you follow me. I can't believe I forgot, but I'm here, and we're late, we need to hurry!"
Zitao huffed, but stood up and followed Sehun out of the office, listening intently to everything that he was saying.

And so it begins.
