"Fuck, I think I pulled a muscle last night",the poor girl rolled around her head to stretch her neck, which only ended up making the ache even worse.

"Should've learned to take care of yourself properly", Renjun leaned onto the locker beside her, arms folded as he looked down on her. "This is the third time you got an injury and it's only the fourth day of school"

"Yeah, yeah", the girl quickly dismissed him with her hand. "Li Xiu Ying-",Renjun was about to give another heave of scoldings but he got cut short by someone pressing a kiss onto his cheek.

"Hey, foxie", Renjun's girlfriend, Na Jihye came and wrapped her arms around his neck from the back. Renjun smiled and turned around to give a kiss, on the lips this time.

"Morning, butterfly"

"Take your flirting somewhere else, please", Xiu Ying groaned having to see the two being lovey dovey early in the morning. She leaned back, letting her head hit her locker.

"Aww sad, but we can't leave you or else you're gonna be lonely"

"I prefer being alone as long as you guys aren't around eating each other's faces"

"And you won't be alone anymore now", a arm swung onto Xiu Ying's shoulder.

"ssup, Rosie?", Jaemin came. "Oh, hey sis", he greeted his sister before winking at Renjun. "My dude"

Renjun looked at him, disgusted. "Bro I'm taken", and by then the bell had rung indicating classes had started.

"Finally, bye y'all see you never", Xiu Ying rolled her eyes before walking away to her class that was two rooms down her friends' classroom. It was sad this year had to start with her being separated from the others, but at least she got to make new friends.

"Hey", she greeted her seatmate, Lee Nari who only gave a nod. "How are you?"

"Oh I'm good, just that I almost killed my brother for waking me up two hours earlier than my alarm", Nari purposely said out loud to catch the attention of a certain boy. "It was funny!", Donghyuck turned around from his seat and glared at his sister, before breaking into a huge fit of laughter.

"Ha ha ha. Very funny", she rolled her eyes, getting irritated with his laugh that grew louder every second. Ignoring him, she looked over to Xiu Ying. "What about you?"

"Hmm? Oh, I'm okay as well. But I pulled a muscle and it hurts really badly right now", Xiu Ying rubbed the back of her neck.

"That's bad, get well soon", Nari pouted while Xiu Ying gave a quick thanks, before the door opened up and in entered a student who let out a huge yawn.

"Yo, Chenle. What's with the bruise?", Nari asked as the boy sat behind her. Chenle looked at her, trying to understand before realizing what she meant.

"Oh, this? I accidentally hit my face against the cupboard so", he shyly looked up.

"Wow, how clumsy can you be?", Nari laughed, leading Xiu Ying to laugh as well. "Both you and Xiu Ying have some sort of injury today, talk about fate"

"You're hurt, Xiu Ying?"

"Yeah, accidentally pulled a muscle", she chuckled lightly.

"Get better soon then", Chenle gave a smile, eyes scrunching as his dimples turned visible. He looked like a cute child and immediately made anyone who looked at him smile too.

Because that's who he is. Or least, a apart of him is.
