(A/N: I decided to start this a lot earlier than I thought, but I have a lot more time to finish my other books to continue this one. I hope you enjoy :))

The ringing of my alarm,  sounded in my ears. Causing me to instantly let out a loud groan,  turning the alarm off and slamming my head back into the pillow. Normally I wouldn't be this bothered about waking up. But I had barely slept,  from the celebrations of winning last nights match.

Normally when I win,  there isn't much celebrations. Usually because I tend to go home as soon as the match is over,  so that I can get through the next day without much problems. But last night,  that wasn't an option. I think it was because I wasn't going to be participating in any matches for a while until I get all my grades sorted again.

I had one year left,  not even a year,  until I was expected to go to university or do something else with my life. Most of those I knew at the boxing gym all expected me to carry on there until I retired,  but I didn't know if I wanted to do that. I didn't really know what I wanted to do,  only to do well at my current subjects and then see.

Before I could fall back asleep,  I managed to pull myself up from my bed, to make sure I didn't fall asleep and have to run to school in a hurry. I've done that too many times already this term.

I pulled out a plain black, oversized hoodie and a pair of ripped black jeans with one of my many band 
T-shirt's to wear underneath. I pulled my light brown hair out of its braid and shook it slightly before moving it around one side.

Luckily I hadn't gotten many hits to the face during last night's match, so I didn't feel the need to put on much makeup on. Some matches meant I had to put on a lot more makeup for atleast a week. But, I did have a cut to my lip which made my bottom lip swell slightly.

The good thing about being hidden in the background, meant that no one really took any notice when I did have bruises visible. The only people that noticed was Teagan and J-hope,  and they knew why.

J-hope: 'I'm outside'

Me and J-hope always walked to school together, mainly because we lived next to eachother and because we didn't really have any classes together, so this was the only time we got to spend together, other than lunch. I grabbed my rucksack that I had packed the night before and left my room.

As I ran down the stairs,  I grabbed an apple and quickly looked around to see if anyone was in the house. But as usual,  no one was. My parents were always working, so when they weren't, they just rested. They weren't bad parents, they were just very busy parents. But then again, that just meant I had a lot of free will and independence.

I left the house, locking the door behind me. I saw J-hope leaning against my gate at the bottom of the garden with his earphones in,  playing on his phone. He was always listening to music and dancing. Ever since I'd met J-hope 7 years ago,  I could never be sad or moody around him without him instantly lifting my mood with him being his cheerful self.

"Lexi!" he shouted as I walked up to him. I smiled to him, whilst he took his earphones out and put his phone into his back pocket.

"How are you?" I asked as we began to walk our usual way towards the school. I began to eating my apple as I waited for him to answer.

"I'm good,  a bit sore though. I forgot to do a cool down after dance practice yesterday" he explained and began to stretch slightly, in an attempt to relieve the pain he was in.

"After all those lectures you have given me in the past, and you can't even follow them yourself " I commented and rolled my eyes at him, he nudged me almost causing me to fall into a bush.

"That was uncalled for" I stated and nudged him back,  he just laughed and smiled brightly at me.

"So are you" he replied cheekily. I placed my hand on my chest and pretended as if his comment hurt me.

"Do you think Teagan will bring Jungkook over to sit with us again today?" J-hope inquired. Teagan and Jungkook had been together for a couple of months,  but only came out about it recently. Jungkook was nice,  quiet but nice. The only problem was that he was friends with the popular boys in our school,  which I didn't mind. But, I just didn't like the amount of attention it brought to us.

"I don't know. I'm fine with him sitting with us,  it's just the others I don't like" I replied and J-hope nodded. J-hope was friends with the boys, not close friends, but friendly enough to get along with them.

"You don't really like them do you?"
J-hope asked, I continued eating my apple as I thought about how I was going to answer the question.

They weren't bad people, they were friendly enough when they wanted to be. But they seemed to think so highly of themselves compared to everyone else,  and thought they were practically perfect. To be fair, I could just about tolerate Jin and V, but Jimin just managed to annoy me above everyone else.

"It's not that I don't like them,  but they are just a little intense for me" I admitted, J-hope laughed and nodded in agreement. Don't get me wrong, 
J-hope could be equally as intense,  maybe more. But he didn't think he deserved to be the bright star at the top of the Christmas tree, unlike some.

"I get what you mean. They aren't as bad as they come across though, I think it's more of a persona than anything else" J-hope said, maybe trying to defend them. I know he knew them a lot better than me, but there was something about them I just didn't seem to like so much.

"Alright, I'll believe that when I see it" I commented back quietly, I noticed
J-hope rolling his eyes at me.

I think the reason I had a problem was them,  is simply because I have classes with them. So I see how arrogant they can be at times. Also, as no one takes notice of me and I like to stay quiet and hide in the shadows,  I watch and listen to others around me. It's fair to say, I've heard enough about them.

"Look, I'm not going to be a dick if they do sit with us." I said in an attempt to reassure J-hope. He smiled at me and threw his arm over my shoulder as we approached the school gates.

"You know Jimin's dyed his hair pink" J-hope randomly said, I looked at him dumbfounded.

"Why would I know that? I don't pay much attention to him" I replied and laughed with J-hope, we both knew it was mainly because I never used any social media, only when Teagan or
J-hope told me too.

"I'll see you later" he laughed to me before running off into the school.

As we walked into the gates, I could see all the younger years huddled together in their friendship gates before classes started. I decided that I'd go and buy some food before registration,  so that my stomach would start rumbling during my first class. I was definitely someone that ate like a horse, but I had to considering the amount of working out I had to do to keep me in shape and have the power to fight.

No one really ate in the mornings, so the canteen was usually pretty empty, other than a few people trying to fit in time to do work without the sounds of everything around them.

Teagan: 'Where are you? You need to tell me about the match'

Me: 'I'll be there in a minute,  I'm just getting food'

During my time texting back,  I continued to walk forward. Causing my to collide with someone much taller than myself and drop my phone on the floor. Instantly I dropped to the floor to pick up my phone, but the person I collided with got there first and picked it up for me.

"Watch where you are going,  we don't want you ruining that pretty face of yours" Jin said,  and winked before turning away. Well that was incredibly cheesy I thought to myself before walking over and picking up a bacon sandwich and paying for it.

I finished my bacon sandwich while walking to my form, where I had registration. A few people glanced at me,  giving me strange looks as I stuffed my face. I would care,  but I really didn't. If I wanted to stuff my face with a bacon sandwich, then that is exactly what I will do,  because I feel like it and I deserve the food.

My form was pretty quiet, mainly because it was a Monday and no one could really be bothered to talk, so instead all sat on their phones. I noticed Teagan sat near the front,  texting. Probably to Jungkook.

Teagan had long black straight hair that complimented her dark chocolate skin. She was insanely pretty, although if you mentioned it to her she'd deny it. She was also one the the kindest people you'd ever meet. Her smile was bright and sincere as she looked up at me.

"Looks like it didn't end too bad for you then" she commented as she scanned my face,  looking for any form of bruise. However winced slightly as she looked at my slightly swollen lip with the slit in it.

"I mean I don't know how she looks now, but atleast I won" I replied quietly,  she smiled and wrapped her arms around me in a hug.

"Of course you won" She laughed as she let go of me. She's only ever been to one of my matches, and that was only because she wouldn't stop bigging me until I let her come to one. Although, she never returned because of how rough it was underground and it freaked her out.

"Yeah, although they forced me to go out with them afterwards to celebrate" I said and yawned. I honestly don't know how I am going to survive the day on such little sleep. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of people can function on a small amount of sleep, but I am not one of them.

"Oh, celebrations. Did you and Namjoon celebrate and have a little kiss again?" she teased and nudged me slightly.

"Teagan! That was one time, and no!" I defended myself.

"Oh come on, I bet you wish you did" she said and winked to me. I elbowed her slightly to shut her up. She'd always been convinced me and Namjoon were going to get together. It didn't help that we had shared a kiss more than once, but that was  completely by accident.

"You do like him though" she commented and raised her eyebrow at me.

"It doesn't matter whether I like him or not, we wouldn't work." I replied and sat down next to her as I heard the bell go off,  signalling registration was about to start.

"You don't know that" she whispered quietly to me with a cheeky smile on her face as the teacher walked in. I rolled my eyes at her comment.

Once we were done registering and we're able to leave, me and Teagan went our separate ways to our classes.  I had chemistry first,  which I was glad of considering that I was actually somewhat good at it. Although, that did mean that I was in the same class as Jimin. Luckily this was the only class I shared with him alone, meaning that he wasn't too much to deal with. P.e was the worst subject though, I shared it with all of them.

As I walked into my class,  I smiled slightly at the teacher and moved over to the double laboratory table in the corner of the class. They were double since you were meant to have a partner to work with. But since the class has odd numbers, I volunteered to be by myself. I didn't mind,  it meant that I could just get on with my work without having to deal with someone else. Plus, atleast I knew I was going to have to do the work all by myself, instead of having someone else there who's meant to be working but has left it all to you and still gets credit for the work.

"Okay class, today we will be continuing with atomic structures. So therefore, we will not have any experiments today" Miss humphreys explained, most of the class let out a moan, however I didn't mind. It meant I could easily make notes for revision. I needed to do a lot of revision in the period of time I had free. I still had to train, but it wouldn't be as intense for the next couple of weeks.

Three pages later of notes and work,  the class finally finished. To be fair,  I wouldn't expect anything less, it had been a double period. Although I was thankful it was over since I had a free period next,  which I was most likely going to spend it how I normally would.

"Lexi, Jimin, could I have a word with you two after class?" Miss humphreys asked kindly and smiled at us two. I was confused,  I hadn't done anything wrong,  nor had I had any form of involvement with Jimin recently. I nodded and continued to slowly pack my bag,  I bit my lip, something I usually done when I was nervous about something.

I finally finished packing my bag and threw it onto my back,  I placed my hands inside of my pocket. Not before readjusting my glasses, so they sat properly on my face. I didn't have awful eyesight,  but I didn't have great eyesight. I saved my contacts for training and matches.

As I walked forward, towards the front of the class near the teachers desk, I noticed Jimin staring at me strangely. I looked back at him and raised my eyebrows at him,  questioning what he was staring at.

"Your lip is bleeding" he commented as he leant closely to me. I placed my finger against my lip as saw the blood on it. I quickly licked away the blood,  Jimin laughed lightly as he watched.

"Right,  thank you for staying behind. Don't worry you're not in trouble" she chuckled slightly,  I was more intrigued to know what she wanted considering I knew I wasn't in trouble. Although, that just raised more questions.

"Why do you need to talk to us?" Jimin asked and leaned back against one of the tables. He must have been as confused as me.

"Lexi, you are my top student in this class, but you struggle with the maths involved. Jimin, you aren't doing so well in this class, however, your abilities when it comes to the maths questions involved are better than anyone else." she explained. I knew exactly where this was going and mentally rolled my eyes.

"I want you two to learn off of eachother. Next lesson,  Jimin you will sit next to Lexi from now on."
