locker 127, jisung's locker.

jamie took a deep breath, trying to stabilize herself and stop her pounding heart as she slipped the note in his locker.

she turned around and let out a startled shriek, jisung was standing right behind her, a confused face on.

renjun was right next to him, the two boys towering over jamie.

saying she was scared was an understatement as she heard the pounding of her heart in her ears and felt the blood rush to her head, making her light headed.

she pushed past them, going down the hallway and to the girls' bathroom, shutting the door behind her.

a shaky breath left her lips.

jaehyun and jaemin had given her the ideas to write letters to the two boys since the idea of even facing them made her have two panic attacks the previous day. it had only been a week and a half since jamie had accidentally offended half of her friends, but she couldn't stand the idea of them being angry at her.

so, she wrote a seven page letter to jisung and a two page one for renjun. she didn't know what she was going to do for chenle, but she figured he would be the easiest out of the three to make not angry at her.

she shakily took out her phone.

a laugh escaped jamie's lips, her eyes slightly watery.

jaemin was always there for her no matter what, even if everything was her fault.

jamie sighed, putting her hands in her pockets and walking out of the bathroom and to her half-empty locker.

yerim stood there, eyes blazing, "what the fuck?"

"what?" jamie asked.

"why is your locker practically empty?" yerim spat.

"i'm transferring," jamie said, opening her locker door, "to sopa."

"to be with your boy toys? disgusting," yerim scoffed, "what? am i not good enough for you?"

jamie turned towards her, "not good enough? know your place, you've been pushing me recently, be glad you're getting away with it. now leave me alone please, i need to finish before i leave."

yerim stared at her in shock before slamming her against the lockers, "bitch! what happened to us being best friends huh? why are you leaving me?"

a crowd had formed, all watching and whispering.

jamie's eyes blazed, startling yerim, "get the fuck away from me."

yerim watched in shock as jamie ripped her hands away from her, "get the fuck away from me!"

shock quickly turned to anger as yerim clenched her fist and sent a punch to jamie's face.

the girl dodged it, pushing yerim against the lockers and pinning her there.

"stay the fuck away from me, you don't want to try me," jamie growled before shoving her into someone else and shoving all her stuff into her bag.

she looked into the crowd, meetting renjun's eyes as he stood next to yena, who was fussing over yerim.

he looked disappointed, so she turned and walked away as fast as she could, trying to stop the tears from forming in her eyes.

it wasn't her fault, it was self-defense, it wasn't her fault, jamie repeated in her head over and over.

johnny was standing in front of the principal's office when she got there, looking at his phone.

he saw her and threw his arm over her shoulders, "ready jammie?"

jamie took one last look over her shoulder before nodding, "as ready as i'll ever be."

johnny smiled at her and they walked away.

"welcome to seoul school of performing arts! thank you for registering here," the principal beamed at jamie.

jamie clung onto johnny's and jaehyun's hands as they stood next to her.

"as you requested, we got mr. na jaemin to come your you around, without telling who you are," the principal continued, "if you need anything at all, please let me know."

"thank you," johnny grinned, "we leave her in your care."

the three left the office.

"i'm so sure she thinks you guys are gay," jamie mumbled to the two, both of them laughing.

"we've been getting those looks since you first moved here," johnny said, ruffling her hair, "we have to leave. you'll be okay, right?"

"i have jaemin," jamie smiled softly, "i'll be great."

jaehyun and johnny both have her hugs before leaving the school.

jamie stood there, looking at her schedule that the secretary had given her until there was a knock on the door.

"i'm here to help with the transfer student," she heard jaemin's voice.

they met eyes, and a grin grew on her face, and she flung herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"you... you transferred here?" he asked shakily, "this isn't a prank right?"

jamie shook her head, "this is real."

he hugged her back, before leading her out of the office and around the school.

he was a terrible guide, barely able to remember himself where he had to be.

they thankfully had lunch together with jeno and she had physics with donghyuck who had taken a different science his second year and her free period was with jeno.

jamie enjoyed the surprised face of donghyuck as she walked into the room, the teacher telling her to sit on the opposite side of the room.

xiaojun, who she had forgotten went there, grinned at her, mouthing something along the lines of wait for me after class.

xiaojun led her around after physics, forcing her to sit with him and his friends instead of jaemin and his at lunch.

jeno picked her up and spun her around when he saw her at their free period, happily talking about the new cats taeyong and wheein had gotten him.

jamie left school with a feeling she hadn't had in a while. happiness practically radiated off of her as she walked with jaemin, jeno, and donghyuck to the bus stop.

"i heard you're going on another date with mark," donghyuck teased, elbowing her slightly, "does this mean you don't like renjun anymore?"

jeno gasped dramatically and jaemin shot his head in their direction as jamie shyly laughed.

"no, i still like renjun," she replied, playing with her hands, "i just, you know, am trying to get over him and mark is trying to get over someone too."

"who?" jaemin screamed, "who is mark trying to get over?"

jamie glared at him, "first off, shut up, the whole world doesn't need to know. secondly, that is an invasion of privacy, ask mark himself."

"you're no fun!" jeno pouted, "mark is never going to tell us!"

"ha! losers," donghyuck teased, "i already know!"

"tell me!" jaemin screamed, shaking donghyuck back and forth.

"never!" donghyuck sung, running away screaming at the top of his lungs.

jaemin let out a battle cry and followed him.

jamie and jeno looked at each other, sighed, and ran after the other two, also screaming.
