I step onto the school bus, gazing upon the rows of students as I greet the elderly bus driver. I spot V's brightly dyed orange hair at the back and his six irritating friends are sitting beside him.

"Purple!" Jimin calls loudly and a few other students snicker.

I ignore him and walk up the aisle, trying to locate an empty seat but to my dismay, there isn't one in sight. I look to the back again and spot an empty seat beside a smirking Jungkook and V.

"Are you actually kidding me?" I whisper to myself.

"Come on, Violet," V grins, his mouth forming a somewhat rectangular shape. "You aren't scared, are you?"

"Of course not." I state adamantly and stubbornly sit beside him.

"I didn't think so." He resorts and as he faces me, I notice a particularly purple bruise occupying his cheekbone.

"What happened?" I ask and motion towards the dark bruise, my tone sounding surprisingly concerned.

"I-I was in a fight." He smirks, stumbling with his words.

"I don't believe you."

His expression doesn't falter and he shrugs carelessly. "Good for you."

I sigh in defeat and sit back into the uncomfortable chair, trying to ignore his piercing gaze. The bus finally arrives at the school building and before the vehicle halts, I stand in a hurried attempt to escape those seven boys. Bad idea.

The bus breaks and jolts forward, causing me to unsteadily fall backwards. However before my body can make contact with the floor, I feel a pair of hands underneath my back to keep me upright.

I quickly compose myself and climb to my feet, immediately turning to thank whoever caught me. But when I see V's smirking face behind me, I only smile halfheartedly.

Without a word, I turn and practically jog down the aisle and off the bus. I breathe in relief when I notice Bangtan, as they call themselves, walk in the other direction.

I find Eunki standing by my locker and she smiles widely when she notices me approach her.

"Violet, I have news!" She squeals.

"What is it?"

"I'm going on a date!" She cheers and a few people around us send her sceptical glances.

"Oh my goodness," I say, my expression mimicking hers. "Who with?"

"His name is Sehun. He's in our chemistry class, the quiet blonde boy?"

"Ah, yes!" I respond, briefly reminiscing on the lesson and picturing the quiet and blonde boy. "I know who he is. Damn, he's hot, you're lucky."

She chuckles. "I know. Anyway, first period starts soon, you coming?"

"Sure." I nod.

"So, have you spoken to V or his gang today?" She asks and I nod.

"Unfortunately, yes," I laugh as we reach the classroom. "I had to sit beside V and their maknae on the bus."

"No way." She gasps.

"Yeah, I know," I laugh, "it was the worst fifteen minutes of my life."

"They didn't pester you too much, did they?" She asks as we sit beside each other on an empty table near the back.

"Nah, not really. I was lucky."

I see Jimin and V walk through the doors and I look at Eunki knowingly.

"Speak of the literal Devils, eh?" She whispers and I smile whilst nodding in agreement.

"Hey, girls." Jimin smirks and Eunki's face twists in disgust.

"Ew, creep." She frowns and he only laughs, taking a seat behind us.

I see an unfamiliar boy seated in front of us turn around, a piece of folded paper in his hand. He then drops it onto the table and turns around again like nothing had happened. I look at Eunki confusedly and she shrugs before unfolding it.

We both simultaneously read the scribbled writing, which reads: 'party tonight at 7' and underneath, there is a messily written address.

"You going?" I ask Eunki quietly and she nods.

"Of course. I've never missed a party in my life."

I chuckle. Typical Euinki.

As the lesson continues, I feel paper being thrown at the back of my head by V and Jimin. I frustratedly ignore them both and continue making notes about the lesson.

After what feels like hours, the bell rings signifying our lunch period.

"Hallelujah." I mumble and pack away my belongings.

"Are you going to the party tonight?" Jimin asks both Eunki and I.

"Why should we tell you?" She resorts sassily and his infamous smirk widens.

"I'll see you there then."

"Ugh, whatever." She rolls her eyes and I laugh as we walk away from the two and towards the cafeteria.

"They're so annoying." I state and she nods in agreement.

"Tell me about it."

When we push open the doors of the cafeteria, sounds of encouraging chants and loud shouts can be heard. A crowd is circling the large room and I frown, confused.

"I think there's a fight." Eunki informs me and we approach the area where all of the commotion is supposedly occurring.

Eunki pushes through the crowd and I follow closely behind her until the scene is visible. I gasp when I see Namjoon pinning another boy down onto the tiled flooring, his fist raised in preparation to hit the poor boy.

"Sehun!" I hear Eunki shout and before I have the opportunity to stop her, she pushes passed me and grabs Namjoon's arm.

He shakes her off - a little too forcefully than he perhaps intended - and she's sent falling backwards onto the ground. 

"Eunki!" I gasp and rush towards her, the crowd filling with a shocked silence.

"Shit, I didn't mean to do that, I swear." Namjoon mutters almost incoherently as Sehun stares at him angrily.

"Are you okay?" I ask her, crouching beside her and she nods.

"That little bitch-" She growls and stands, surprising me when she marches towards Namjoon and slaps him harshly across the cheek.

The crowd, Sehun and I all gasp in unison.

"Don't ever touch me!" She shouts and for the first time since I met him, Namjoon looks surprisingly scared.

"Are you alright?" I ask her hesitantly.

She nods. "Yeah, let's just get out of here."

I agree and follow her out into the yard, ignoring all of the stares which we inevitably receive.

"Well," I chuckle. "That was an eventful morning."
