My eyes flutter open at the sound of the alarm. I can't help but sigh and reach for my phone to turn it off. As soon as I do that, I pull the covers over my head and continue my peaceful sleep.

Yet the alarm keeps ringing until I give up and decide to wake up properly. I rub my eyes and sit up slowly, picking up my phone once again and going through YouTube and my texts.

My eyes wander to the window. Although it is 7 am already, outside it looks like it's still nighttime. The sky is dark, slowly transitioning to a lighter blue. The sun hadn't come up yet.

How depressing.

Dragging my feet to the bathroom, I wash my face and then brush my teeth. I stare at my reflection in silence, trying to figure out a hairstyle that would actually look good on me. After a few attempts, I give up with a scoff and walk out of the bathroom. Still ugly, no matter what.

"Isn't it weird that we haven't been taking any exams in Korean? I mean, our professor would suffocate us with exams last year." Jennie points out as she sits on top of her desk.

I sit down next to her and I look out of the window, slightly nodding in agreement.We're currently on our five minute break.

We hear laughter. It obviously comes from the group of boys, who seem to be picking on another guy.

"Ugh, the guys here are such asses." she complains, pushing her hair out of her face.

I look over at the group of guys as they push the other guy away, telling him to leave them alone. He's wearing nerd glasses and he's a coconut head.

"Why do you even bother?"

"Hey, look at his haircut. Like a coconut." one comments as the others began laughing.

My eye twitches in annoyance. Bullying. A phenomenon that affects every school. Like every school, ours is affected too. Especially our classroom and the thing is, that guys are the bullies, not girls.
I seriously feel a strong dislike towards every one of them, except my desk mate, Chanyeol. He's a straight A student that studies a lot and never really messes with anyone. He just minds his own business.
That's why no one really bullied him or made fun of him.

Suddenly, I see my pencil case getting thrown in the air as two of the guys, began throwing it to one another and playing around with it as if it was a ball.

I sigh as I hop off the desk and walk over to the guy, who's holding it as I try to get it, but he throws it to another guy.

"Fucks sake!" I hiss in annoyance as I keep trying to get my pencil case back, but they keep throwing it to each-other. "That's my pencil case you're playing around with." I point out as I stand in front of Sehun. "Give it back."

He just looks at my pencil case. "This yours?" he asks as if he didn't hear me and casually throws it at me. Or more like at the floor in front of me. I throw him a glare before squatting down and picking it up.

"Now class, we will go downstairs to the computer laboratory and watch a DVD." my english teacher says as I smile slightly and stand up, grabbing my bag.

After a long day at school, I'm finally at my English course. People say my English is pretty good and I'm currently finishing level C1.

Our class has around eleven people, seven guys and the rest are girls.

Making my way down to the laboratory, I walk over the marble floor and take a seat as I push my sleeves up, revealing my wrists. I grab the CD from the book, putting it in.

I can hear the chair next to me move as I turn my head and see Xiumin. My ex best friend on whom I used to have a crush on. I flash him a small smile as I turn my attention back to the computer screen, however I can feel his gaze on me, making me feel slightly uneasy as I glance back at him.

That's when I realize...

The only reason he's been staring at me. . .

He's looking at my wrist. . .
