Chapter 15.
Another week has passed without much event but today is special, today is Friday. It's special for the school, it is the day they announce the Leaders. Out through the week Leaders has been the most heard and talked about topic. It's just another way of saying prefect but apparently not in this school. They honour their words 'Power can not be innocent ' therefore all the teachers had to be very wise and strict about deciding who's hands the school's responsibility will fall into.
"Who do you think it's gonna be?" Min-Yo asks beside me.
Ever since Mrs Kim assigned us together as partners, I'd say we've become closer in a weird way. The singing thing made us bond a little and eventually we fell into place and become friends. At first she was still on about the Seolhyun thing but afterwards she changed and showed me a cooler version of herself. She isn't that bad, I wouldn't mind being her friend outside of class as well.
"No brainier that Jimin is one of them," I say holding my pen.
"Jimin is just so perfect, he defiantly deserves it for all the hard work his put in since the beginning and first day he stepped into this school. She says sitting up. "I remember when we were in grade 8, he was very playful...really really playful. If I had to compare him today and him in grade 8, you would've believed it was a twin instead. He never did homework, his books were always not at school and when they were here it was a wrong book. But then it all stopped when the social science teacher threw his book out the window, that day it was raining hei. She had enough of him and called his dad."
"Really?" My eyes widen.
She nods her head. "After that day he came back a new guy with this blank face and nodding head. He spoke less and always focused on himself. His pride and confidence made him the most respected learner. It's like he become smart over the weekends,"
"How did he become smarter over weekends?" I ask trying really hard to picture a flawed Jimin. Thinking of his change reminds me of his father and how Jimin doesn't get along that much with him.
She shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know but it was like magic. He wasn't dumb, he just procrastinated a lot. Then boom! His smarter then everyone," I laugh a little picturing a young Jimin refusing to do his maths homework because its too hard and then thinking of him now doing advanced maths. Before I can ask Min-Yo more about Jimin, Miss Kim comes back in the room.
"How many of you were nominated for Leaders?" There it is again, the topic on everyone's lips.
I raise my hand along with the others, which are quite a few, only 4 including myself. Miss Kim looks at me in shock.
"Yoona this is your second week and you're already big around the school. Impressive," she smirks at me while Min-Yo nudges me and smiles. I wonder if it's my own doing or Hoseok's doing. "I won't waste much of your time, as soon as the bell rings for the last period of the day the principle has requested all the nominee's to go straight to the main hall. That's the announcement, so back to the lesson. Today-"
My heart starts feeling uneasy just thinking about being nominated. A couple days ago, if I'm not mistaken a Tuesday. Seolhyun told me that Jimin nominated me. Which wasn't a shocker since I saw it myself but what shocked me was what she said next, she said Jimin had never did things like that before- not even for her. According to Sowon, the school adores them and therefore votes and nominates them not the other way around. They never nominate anyone. Not with the kind of power they have as popular kids. I was tense at first telling them that I didn't know he nominated me at all (a white lie) but she didn't mind. She said she was happy that Jimin approved of me. That's what she says but I don't know her heart. I don't know what she's feeling.
Lately Jimin has been very friendly -too friendly at times , not only has Hoseok noticed it but Choa too. She's the one feeding Seolhyun with information.
Earlier at lunch today
Our bodies are drained and tired from the long run Coach Taemin forced us to do. I have never heard my heart beat from my behind, but it is. I seriously need to sit down I can't stand any longer. It's even worse that I had to put my school uniform back on, the sun wasn't doing me any good. It wasn't on anyone's side.
When Sowon and I entered the cafeteria she went to get lunch while I just slowly made my way to the table, I sat down beside Hoseok and put my head on his shoulder. He chuckled along with the others.
"Yoona what's wrong? You look exhausted," Taehyung asks. Everyone is at the table except Yoongi and Seolhyun.
"We just came out of Physical ed." I look over at Sowon, who looks much better then I do, she sits in between Choa and Jungkook and starts eating.
"Mr Taemin worked the living nipples off our breasts!" She exclaims.
"Oh father god I just pray that you lay your hands on my stomach. So the fat can go away while I'm alseep, because I don't," I fake weep. "If I can keep doing this." Everyone at the table laughs. Hoseok gathers some noodles between his chopsticks wanting to feed me. I open my mouth and close my eyes waiting for the chicken noodles to enter my watering mouth.
But instead of the warm noodles entering my mouth, a freezing cold Cola fills up in my mouth. I quickly hold the bottle and drink up, eager and thirsty to get cool.
"Yah Hoseok! You should've given her water she's evaporating, not noodles," Namjoon says aloud. I open my eyes and see Jimin right in front of me helping me hold the bottle to my mouth. I gasp almost choking but pull my hand away and close my mouth.
"Jimin is so caring." Jin says. "Not only does he look after Seol but he also looks after Yoona," a deep blush covers me, I cover up with my hair looking away feeling hotter then before ignoring the heat.
Hoseok I'm sorry. Please don't get mad
...no answer... It's always been like that, he doesn't answer in my head anymore.
"He should only be focused on his girlfriend not mine," J-hope says in a playful manner but I can hear the venomous tongue of Hoseok.
Seolhyun suddenly appears behind Jimin and squeals. Before he looks at her he places the Cola in front of me and chuckles my way. He turns around and they both walk off, her arm wrapped around his.
(Back to present)
The cola is on the floor beside my bag, I debated whether to take it or not but I ended up taking it 'cause it was too hot. Boi was Hoseok mad.
But its whatever now, it happened hours ago I'm sure he has calmed down by now.
"Yoona,"
"Yes ma'am." I stand from my desk and walk over to her. Crap! I haven't been paying any attention to what she said.
"Give this to Mrs Noyo and tell her I'll give her the others later on." Phew, lucky she wasn't talking about class.
I walk out the class and walk some steps to the dance studio. I look through the glass rectangular window watching as they all stand leg in front of the other and head bow, in their casual clothes, males in black and females white.
My eyes meet with J-hope, he smiles a little and looks back down. I smile and push the door open. Obviously this gets everyone's attention. I hate this part, now they're all looking at me.
"Take a break for 1," she wiggles her pointer finger and looks my way. Everyone collapses to the floor and start light conversations. In an entire period they probably do so much more than us in the music class.
I stand in front of Mrs Noyo, this teacher looks very intimidating with her slim figure, glasses dangling and scarf over her neck.
"Yes what can I do for you dear child," she says sounding the exact opposite of how she looks.
"Good afternoon ma'am, Miss Kim said I should give this to you and that she will give you the others later," I say handing her the packet. She looks over them and opens the first page and looks up at me. "You're Yoona yes?" She asks. I nod my head showing a little smile.
"I've heard various of things about you," she says in a still manner looking over the page. I inhale and exhale soundlessly and shift my weight from one foot to another. I think I should go now, my job was to deliver this to her and that's it. What am I even waiting for? Okay I'll go when she turns around.
I feel a pair of eyes gazing at me I turn around shocked to see that all of them are looking at me but look away when I face them. I still have that new girl smell, I assume.
Jungkook's funny face captures my eye and I smile a little watching him.
"Tell me dear child, do you sing or play instruments?"
"Sing," I say. She nods her head a little smile appearing on her face.
"That's wonderful have you considered a collaboration with anyone?" I follow her as she makes her way to the back of the studio by the piano. So this is the place where Jungkook and Jimin sneak in the morning. I really didn't connect anything until now.
"I haven't given it thought yet ma'am, but I prefer to sing alone," she looks up to me her eyes boring into mine, she removes her glasses squinting and looking at the class.
"You see dear, at the showcase there's going to be a number of performances to show the school's talent." She looks back at me. "And of course the performances have to be stable and show a team ethics."
Is she saying I'm not a team player? Because I'm really not.
"Mrs Kim wants you in the opening act of the show and I have already started on an opening so now I'm willing to place you but I first have to hear you sing," she smiles. "Sometimes a single performance can have such power and dynamite but with a team or another person it can even be better."
"Thank you ma'am," I smile again. If Mrs Kim wants me in the opening act that means I've done something that is worthy. "Do you want me to sing right now?" I ask ready to dazzle her with my voice.
Yoona be humble, be humble. I meant Hoseok's voice. "I could dazzle you with the voice in me,"
Ever since Hoseok has been offline with me and left me alone, I had to master and perfect my own abilities without him. Which is still bothering me, I still see him in my dreams but not in my head. What's going on?
She laughs whole heartdly and looks at me, "No dear, I'll give you a song to prepare. You'll sing it to me on Monday okay, then I'll decide." She says. "Come to me after school and I'll give you the script okay?"
"Yes ma'am." I bow
"Thanks dear for your time, you may go now." She dismisses. I bow and make my way towards the door making eye contact with no one even if I feel their eyes on me the entire time.

The bell rings and only the nominees are leaving the class. I say bye to Min-Yo and leave the class, not before receiving homework for the weekend from Miss Kim, who evilly smiled while giving us.
I only thought a few people where selected but judging from the assembly hall, I'd say we are way past a hundred.
"Hello. May I sit here next to you?" I look up to a girl in a maroon blazer and brown hair up in a tight bun. She's the girl honour student, the one Seolhyun dislikes.
"Sure you may," I smile at her. She's really pretty.
She bows while sitting, "My name is Kim So-hye." She says. I bow as well introducing myself.
"I'm Kim Yoona-"
"I know who you are Yoona. In fact I know all the Kim's in the school," she says smartly, I chuckle.
"Oh really?"
"Kim is not really unique but I'm proud to be one," she says while removing her bag from her back putting it on the floor, then fidgeting with her fingers. "We have all kinds of Kim's in the school, it's become like a zodiac sign," she says very quickly.
All of a sudden she starts speaking fast with no breaks what so ever.
"You have your tall Kim's, weird Kim's smart Kim's, dumb Kim's, scary Kim's, strange Kim's, pretty Kim's-"
"Nervous Kim's." I stop her from going any further, I chuckle lightly and tap her back. "Don't be nervous So-hye. You of all people shouldn't worry, you've got a blazer worthy for strong Kim's," I try to encourage. "You basically represent all the girl Kim's."
"Well that means so much coming from a new Kim who hardly knows me," she smiles and pats her heart. "Thank you, Kim sister." She laughs.
"It's what Kim sisters are made to do," I laugh along with her.
I wonder why Seolhyun dislikes her, she's funny and sweet.
