"Something's wrong with my face?" I question. Totally confused.

"Its all pink on one side, it looks like it's bruised." Luhan explains, pointing to his own cheek to give an example on where it was on my face.

"Oh that, nothing...happened." I say, diverting my eyes away from Luhan's.

Luhan sighed and tilted his head back a bit, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm so sorry..."

"For what?"

"It was my dad who did that, wasn't it?" He asks and I was surprised he knew.

"Yeah but its no big deal, its not like it was the first time I got punched so its nothing." I explain, trying to make it sound like nothing was wrong.

Luhan left my sight for a second, going into a different room and then coming back. "Here, just put this on it." Luhan says, holding an ice pack in his hand.

I took the ice pack from Luhan and put it on the side of my face which stung a lot. "Thanks" I manage to say, adjusting the ice pack so it was on the bruise.

"No problem...uh, you need a ride home or something?" Luhan asks, I could tell he was sitll pretty embarrassed to ask me things.

"Sure" I say, starting to walk to the front door to put my shoes on.

Once Luhan and I got our shoes on, we left the house and went into Luhan's car. "So you don't have a car?" He questions and I shook my head meaning no.

"Ugh, I'm sorry..." He says like I've heard him say it for the thousandth time.

"You don't have to keep saying you're sorry and you're thank you." I point out and he now put his keys into the car, starting it up.

"I know but I'm dragging you into my own family problems. I shouldn't do something like that." Luhan says, he sounded like he was starting to regret asking me for help.

"Its fine, you don't have to worry about it" I say, reassuring him he had no reason to thank and say sorry to me all the time.

He took a glance at me before he pulled out of his driveway and onto the road. "I can tell at least you're getting something out of it" he says in a teasing way.

I was confused on what Luhan meant but then looked down at the side of my shirt and there was a sweat stain running down the side.

"Is this your way of lightening up the mood...teasing me?" I question and things became quiet again.

"Sorry..."

"I told you to stop saying sorry, you don't need to." I say, now starting to get annoyed. We stopped at a red light and I looked out the window so Luhan couldn't see my annoyed expression.

"I'm not saying sorry for helping me..." Luhan says in a little voice like he was lower then me.

I turned my head and looked at him totally confused "what do you mean?" I question, puzzled on what he meant by that.

"You know..." Luhan starts off with explaining. "For the mean things I say to you. Don't take what I say seriously, sometimes I just say things without thinking about it."

I looked at him pretty impressed, Luhan the cold faced jock who everyone loves is actually saying sorry to me?

"You know...when I first came to this school, or to Korea in general I didn't know how I should act. I didn't know if people would like me or not since I was a foreigner."

Is Luhan confessing something right now?

"I wasn't even popular in China to be honest with you. My dad said he wanted to be a changed man when we moved to Korea and I guess I thought the same." Luhan continues to explain.

"I didn't want to be the same person I was like in China. I always had a keen for football, and look at me now I'm the best player on our football team." Luhan explains, gloating about himself a bit.

"But when I first came to the school, the reason why I got so popular in the first place was because I would make other people feel bad about themselves. People joined in with me and...this is where I am right now."

"I'm not really the type to make people feel like shit, but it just comes out sometimes because my brain doesn't process what I'm going to say before I actually say it." Luhan explains and I smirked a bit.

"Thanks...for telling me that" I say in an awkward tone.  I think Luhan and I just got a bit closer. I don't expect him to be nice to me in school, but outside of school he's a pretty cool guy.

"This is our secrete though, you can't tell anyone about this!" Luhan says in a serious tone, starting the car again once the light turned green.

"Secrete?" I repeat in a questioning tone. I didn't mean to say it in that way, but no one has ever told me a secrete before.

"Yeah secrete, do you not know what a secrete is?" Luhan questions, taking a glance at me before turning his head back to the road.

"I-I do..." I stutter while looking down into my lap.

"Then make sure you don't tell anyone." Luhan says and now we were down the road from the apartment again. "Are you going to let me drive you all the way home today?" He asks.

"If you don't say something stupid again" I reply back with a smirk and he chuckled a bit.

"I told you, I don't think before I speak."

We got into my apartments parking lot and Luhan questions "are your parents home?"

"No, probably not" I reply before turning around but he stopped me once again.

"What're you going to have for dinner?" He asks me, why was he so curious to know?

"I'll...probably make something" I say in a lie. Its more realistic I go to my apartment and order out. That's probably what's going to happen.

"I was going to ask if I could come up but if you're going to make something for yourself to eat, I don't want to be a burden." He says, starting up his car again.

Luhan was going to ask if he could come into my house!? Why...I wouldn't let him anyway but why!? "Uh yeah, I'll see you tomorrow" I say, backing away from the car as he drove off.

That's weird. I turned around and walked inside of my apartment.

I closed the front door behind me and for some reason my legs felt weak. I stumbled towards the couch in the living room and plopped myself down where I usually sit.

I don't know what's wrong with me, it was like my legs turned into feathers. At the same time I grabbed my chest and felt it pounding.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I wasn't that tired, I took the elevator up. My heart usually only pounds when I'm tired... But I'm not tired so what dose this mean?

I can't...I can't like Luhan, could I? No, I for sure cant like someone like him! He's only being nice to me because I'm helping him with his dad.

He wouldn't...even like me if I didn't catch his dad the other day a drunken mess. I looked down at the ground with a frown and an instant feeling of emptiness was left inside me.

I ordered the pizza...and ate it all.

The next morning my pants were out of the wash so I could wear my normal, comfortable uniform pants...but even those started to feel tighter on me now.

My mom was making breakfast and the pizza box was visible from last night but my mom didn't mention anything about it.

I knew it, she had her mini fit of anger yesterday and now she's all cooled down like she doesn't give two shits about me again.

I ate my breakfast, left the house and bought my lunch on the way to school.

When I got to school I squirmed my way through everyone jumping all over the place to my seat.

I sat down and slumped over in my seat, tired. I should have gotten a bit more sleep last night.

The marnvols came into the room not long after and they all looked at me like they wanted to burn me with their words.

Baekhyun, Chen and Luhan all stood in front of my desk and Baekhyun started to laugh. "Fatty, you were lucky I didn't pound your face in with the ball yesterday!"

"Maybe it would have bounced right back off?" Chen asks and both Chen and Baekhyun started laughing.

I glanced at Luhan and he was looking the other way, not bringing his gaze in my direction.

"Whats wrong Luhan, you have a small soft spot for Minseok here because he helped you to the nurses office?" Baekhyun asks, nudging Luhan on one side.

"N-No, why would I care about a fat ass like him? I probably did him a favour, giving him a workout." Luhan says with a small chuckle at the end. When Chen and Baekhyun's heads turned, Luhan's serious expression returned.

Even though I knew he 'didn't mean it,' it still hurt because it was true. Everything they all say about me is true.

I don't know why its getting to me today. It usually doesn't even bother me what they say...but knowing Luhan is calling me these horrible things... Makes me kind of sad.

I stood up from my desk and grabbed my backpack, walking out of the classroom to go to the washroom.

I locked myself into one of the stalls and thank gosh no one was inside the washroom because my heart hurt and my eyes started to water. Damn it, what's wrong with me?

I took the chocolate bar I had out of my bag and started eating it while I continued to silently cry in the stall. Jeez, I'm such a loser.
