Classes had been good so far, I mean I'd only had two; Literature and Ethics, and they didn't call for a lot of thinking.
I had third period free again, which I liked. In a way it meant I had a longer lunch, and I'm not complaining about that. Also third period was the longest period of the day. Only by 5 minutes, but that makes all the difference when sleeping under some stairs.
Jimin had come to my form in the morning before school while I was telling Teagan and J-hope about what happened at the gym, ignoring what happened afterwards with Jimin. He told me that I had to meet him in the library at the beginning of hour free period. As much as I didn't like being told what to do, I was impressed with how assertive he was being.
I waited in the girls toilets for the crowds to calm down, until I could leave and head towards the library. I always waited a little bit, to make sure that everyone had gone into class, or at least most people had before I left. I always made sure I got to my classes early so that I got ahead of the crowds.
Once I knew that no one was around again, I left. I hated having to hide away and remove myself from everyone else around me, but it was much better than what the result would be if I was in the situation of being in the crowd.
I'd been inside the crowd once before, it was a long time ago, when I was 13, but it was horrible. It was the reason that I had started to feel so trapped and like I couldn't escape once I was in a similar situation.
When I was 13, I had gone to the mall, near my house by myself. I'd always been very independent, shopping by myself ever since I was 12. I was trusted enough to, mainly because the only friend I really had was Teagan, and my parents trusted her enough to know she wouldn't be a bad influence on me. But that one day, I'd finished buying myself new jeans with the money I had saved up with doing chores and was finally leaving. A gun shot went off, somewhere in the mall behind me, shooting down a younger male.
As you can imagine, everyone started screaming, running. I tried to, although I was confused and panicking. I froze in my place, being pushed and hit from all directions. As I started screaming, watching everyone pass me by, all forms of sound began to disorientate, becoming a blur with loud white noise. I was knocked down to the ground, knocking me out cold. That was the last I remember before waking up in an ambulance with the police sirens screeching as they pulled up outside the crime scene.
After the incident, I went back to school and thought everything would be fine. But it wasn't, all the feelings of what had happened before came back. The freezing in my place, the blurred noise, overcome with white noise. My heart was pounding against my chest as my breathing became fast and heavy, readying for me to scream.
Once the screaming started, I passed out again, waking up in the medical room within the school, with Teagan and J-hope by my side. It's fair to say, I was not good with crowds, but I'd learnt to avoid them, alongside shopping malls.
I wondered through the empty corridors, not wanting to rush since there was no real point. I wouldn't be surprised if Jimin hadn't turned up for the tutoring. Or at least he'd forgotten to bring anything to it.
Jimin had surprised me last night, pulling me into him under his coat even though I was soaking wet. Walking me home so that I didn't get so wet from the rain, by myself. He seemed very gentleman like, even though I'd given him a nose bleed only a couple of hours before.
I couldn't sleep last night, not with all the thoughts pouring in my mind. Not only did I have the thoughts about the boxing, and how I had such little time to prepare for my first match in the higher up division, and all the problems that might cause. I couldn't help but think about how I felt bad that I didn't take Namjoon up on his offer of going out to dinner with him for celebrating. But above all, how my opinion on Jimin had changed, maybe I had been too harsh on him, in the first place. But then again, it might have just been a one off.
The library was quiet as I opened the doors to it. It was big and vast, with books everywhere, as you would expect. There were bunches of computers together, spread throughout the library with different people sat on them. There were different sized tables all throughout, I couldn't see anyone on any though.
"Lexi" I heard a voice shout, but with a whispering tone. I dont understand that, you are literally shouting anyway but you just sound more airy than usual.
"Yes?" I said back, still not exactly sure where the voice had come from. I'm pretty sure it was Jimins voice, but I wasn't entirely sure.
"I'm back here, between the chemistry and biology books" he shouted/whispered to me. I looked to my left slightly, and saw the aisle of books, labeled chemistry on one side, and biology on the other.
I walked over to it, noticing Jimin looking in between the books as he watched me. I'm not going to lie, he looked creepy. Very creepy actually as he watched me. Once I got between the aisles, I looked over to Jimin who continued to watch every move I made, only he wasn't watching through books this time.
"You know, you'd be a pretty crappy perv" I commented as I walked up to the desk and placed my bag down onto it.
"I wouldn't have to be watching out for you if I had your number" he commented and walked over to the desk, picking up his bag.
"We aren't doing this here anyway, follow me" he said and picked up my bag and began to walk away, out of the library. I hated people taking my bag, not because I had something secretive inside of it, I just didn't like it. Especially when it was Park Jimin taking the bag.
"Give me my bag and I'll follow you" I said and I caught up with him, trying to grab ahold of my bag, but he wouldn't let me.
"I'm being nice and holding your bag for you" he laughed as he watched me trying to take a hold of it. I rolled my eyes and just followed after him. I had no idea where we were going, or where would be better to go than the library to do the work.
We continued down the empty corridors, towards the 'haunted' stair case. I became weary as we went close to it, no one ever went near here, apart from me of course. But I normally hid at the bottom of those stairs. Instead of going down them though, we went up them, somewhere that I never went.
We got up to the top of them, showing a single door, with the window blacked out. I wasn't scared of it, but I was weary of it for sure. Jimin smiled slightly to me as he opened the door and turned the lights on. The lights lit up the room, it was just a plain classroom that hadn't been used by teachers in a while.
"Come on, you don't believe that it's haunted here, do you?" he teased, making me roll my eyes at him and walk into the classroom and look around it.
I walked passed Jimin, grabbing my bag from him and walked over to one of the desks in the classroom. All the desks were separated apart from eachother. Jimin came to my side, pulling one of the desks with him.
"What are you doing?" I asked, eyeing him up.
"Moving a desk next to yours, so that we can be closer together" he winked. Rolling my eyes I began to open my bag to pull out a notepad and pencil case. I was still fairly cautious of what Jimin was going teach.
I was really bad at maths. I always have been, no matter how many tutors and extra hours I did, it didn't seem to help. My parents paid extra money for me to get really good tutors, but I was still crap at it. I suppose I just wasn't someone who understood maths, like some can't draw. In fairness, I only was only allowed to do science because of how good I was at everything else. If I hadn't been really good at chemistry, I wouldn't have been allowed to take it, considering I failed maths.
As I pulled my pencil case out of my bag, I watched in slow motion as the money I was given yesterday fell out of my bag. It was a lot of money. Of course it was, it was the winnings from the final match; my final match in the division. I'm pretty sure there was at least £2,000 in that rolled up money.
Lexi, you fucking idiot, you were meant to put that away as soon as you got into your room I mentally scolded myself as I looked down at the money. I went to reach it, before Jimin noticed. But that was too late. Jimin had noticed, and was currently leaning down to pick the wad of money up.
"Jesus Lexi, how did you get this?" he asked as he picked it up to exam it. I took my chance to quickly grab it away from him while he was looking at the money. Straight away I threw it back into my bag.
"Oh my God... Do you take drugs? Is that dealer money? Is that where you went yesterday after school? To get drugs? No, do you sell drugs?" he suddenly asked, quickly going threw questions and trying to link things together that weren't even true.
"Jimin, shut up, it's only a bit of money and I don't take drugs." I said in an attempt to reassure him.
"That was a lot more than a bit of money, you shouldn't be carrying that around" He warned and raised an eyebrow at me.
"It was a mistake, okay? Look can we just get this session over and done with" I said, throwing my bag under the table and sitting down, wanting to just move on from this.
He looked intensely at me, before deciding to not continue. I was thankful for him not continuing the conversation. He was not meant to see that, it was only going to cause rumours. Although, I don't see why he would have any reason to think of me.
I watched him as he rummaged through his bag, collecting the various work books and maths equipment. I was surprised by how organised and prepared he was.
"I doubt you are too bad at maths considering you got into that class" he commented as he looked for the correct work pages. He clearly hadn't done enough stalking on me to find out my grades.
"I failed maths..." I said quietly and looked down at my hands in my lap. I always found that I had always been ashamed of my maths. No matter how much I tried with it, it was the one thing that I couldn't do, no matter what.
"You can't have if you are in the class?" he questioned, I still wasn't looking at him, only downwards.
"I was allowed to because of how well I did in chemistry in general" I said and looked up at him, skipping over the part that I may or may not have used someone my saved up money to allow the sixth form to let me in.
He just stared at me, a lot longer than someone normally would. The staring made me feel uncomfortable, causing me to look away and cough slightly to break away.
"Well that changes things" he said and closed his book and opened up his note pad, scribbling different numbers and signs into it.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I watched him.
Once he was done, he spun the not pad around. I just saw a bunch of numbers, letters and symbols which meant nothing to me. I looked up at him confused.
"I'm going to teach you general maths too"
