The hallway was filled with chatter, the sound of slamming lockers, the students standing with their friends. I was trying to walk through the hallway . The thing that Mama said kept bothering me the whole weekend. I don't even know why I am thinking so hard about it.

Somewhere in my heart I just know Mama is right when feelings get involved. I tend to shut people out, I don't want to deal with it. That's why I don't do relationships or dating. It's just Tiring psychically and mentally.

I want to focus on my studies, I want to stand on my feet and then think about dating. I have tried dating. It's not like I don't develop feelings or can't feel love or anything just the thing is I don't want to. Should I give it a try? Can someone like a person like me? Ah! I don't know just don't think just leave let's just go with the flow.

"Mia! Hey where are you going, are you ignoring me?". I stopped walking as I heard Leah's voice and turned to see I passed by her sighing to myself I walked towards her.

"Sorry I was not ignoring I just didn't see you there". I said.

"You didn't see me? What the hell were you thinking so deeply that you didn't see me?" Leah asked, raising her brows at me.

"Nothing Lee, just you know committee work". I said hoping she would not ask any questions.

"Ok by the way, where is Yoongi these days I have not seen him much". Leah asked.

"He is busy with basketball practice". I answered.

"Hm, ok let's go, we have to go to the committee room". Leah said.

"You go first I will join you there". I patted her shoulder before walking past her.

"Hello Mrs Smith, how are you". I smiled at the librarian.

"Hello dear I am good, need a new book?" She asked, smiling knowingly at me.

"Yes I need a reference book for assignments". I smiled at her.

"Ok ,call me when you need any help". She called after me.

As I walking in the aisles searching for reference books, suddenly I heard a faint whimper halting my steps. I looked around trying to find where that sound came from. I walked to a different aisle towards a isolated place in a library. Oh god it's getting creepy What the hell Mia do you want to start yourself in a horror movie! With cautioned steps I walked near the isolated place the whimpering increased.

I turned around to see a girl seating with her arms around her knees, her shoulders shaking violently as she sobbed. I was not sure about approaching her, but her painful sobs didn't sit well with me to leave her like that.

"Hey, Are you okay?". Just Great! Mia , a way to start a conversation of course she is not. In the midst of me scolding my socializing skills the girl looked up at me, her eyes red with brimming tears, her face distraught from pain. She looked lifeless, her cold stare making me flinch from my thoughts.

Then I noticed her bruises on her face, causing me to gasp.

"Oh my who did this? Are you hurt anywhere else?". I asked to examine her bruises with a worried face. I tried to touch her bruises, but she cower back in fear.

"Hey hey I won't hurt you, it's okay sweetie". I said in a gentle tone not wanting to scare her. I have to take her to a nurse room. The bruises look so bad and painful.

"Are you hurt anywhere else, let's treat your wounds let's go". I said trying to find her face as she was still hiding from me.

"No no no please". I heard her small voice choking on her tears. She held my hands pleading with me with her eyes. My eyes softened seeing her like that. I saw myself in her so vulnerable. Anger was building inside me not because of her but the person who did this to her.

"Who did that to you?". I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.

"I don't know her well, she is just a senior. They came up to me and one of them said 'Sarah or something like that". She tried speaking but her words came out as a whisper.

"It's okay , take your time and me what happened Sarah you said why did she did that?". I knew how Sarah was . she finds kick in tormenting people, especially weak ones.

"My girlfriend accidentally dropped her juice on Sarah's shoes, she tried to apologize but she won't leave her alone blackmailing her calling us Lezzo and other names, day by day it got worse, I-I was just protecting my girlfriend they started a rumor about her that she is with me because she pities me who will love a ugly bitch like me she saw her making out with a guy, but I know her too well that she won't ever do that all the boys started cat calling and harassing her. So I had enough of this and confronted her and I ended up here". I had a hard look on my face as she finished explaining to me when I said I see myself in her is not a lie I was there once where her girlfriend and her stood. I just wanted to confront Sarah but I can't. I have to be sensible and think wisely she can harm them again but I can't let that happen.

"I am sorry that happened to you, but it's absolutely not okay what you went through. Don't mind Sarah so much she is like that she does everything for attention. She loves attention. Whatever she says about you, don't listen to her. Who even is she to say or judge about things about you? Does she know you? Why even her or others' opinion matters, what matters most is you sweetie. I know others' opinions bothers us but don't let it bother us to that extent that might kill you. Fuck them really they won't even give a shit what happens to you they judge not because they are perfect they do that because you have things and qualities that they don't have and never will, You are beautiful the way you are and what about you liking a girl it's okay if she likes you too it's your life to live not others remember that". I said in a serious and gentle tone.

She looked at me and smiled" Thank you so much".

"It's nothing, let's treat your wounds it may leave a scar by the way I am Mia, Mia Thorne if you need anything or Sarah did anything just tell me we will beat that bitch together I just needed a reason to beat her you gave me one now". I said laughing.

"No it's okay I will treat that wound later, I am Rhea". She said

"Are you sure I can help you with your wounds?". I asked again, worried.

"Yeah I am sure don't worry and thank you again". My phone started ringing. Lee's name flashed on the screen ohh no I am late for the meeting .

"Sorry I will text you later to make sure you treat your wounds, want me to drop you by your class?" I asked in a hurry .

"No it's okay I can manage you can go I think you are late because of me". She smiled gratefully at me.

"Yeah I have a meeting so take care to see you again". I said making a run out of the library.

………………….

"Sorry I am late, I had to return the book it's due today". I said as I dramatically opened the door as all eyes turned to me.

"It's okay we haven't started yet". Head said .

I smiled at him and went to sit beside Lee who was eyeing me skeptically.

"Book ha, returned it?". Lee said, raising her eyebrows.

"Sh I will tell you later". I shushed her as my eyes landed on Jungkook who smiled at him as I returned his smile.

"This is suspicious, you are both smiling at each other without any hateful remarks. This is new". Lee said with a shocked look.

I just rolled my eyes at her waiting for the head to start the meeting.

"Ok guys as we have started with the activities of events that is going to be held in the end of the semester I have decided something, this year we will have have a dance event added to our list a little different because I am thinking about Park Jimin to help and lead us here as we all know how spectacular he is, what do you think?". He asked for everyone's opinion.

"Will you be okay Mia?". Lee whispered, concerned .

"Yeah I am don't worry, I was already thinking about talking out with Jimin it's being so long and he is always around us I feel bad for Hoseok and you all because of me you all have to suffer so I am thinking of giving him a chance and he is so stubborn he won't leave me so it's better I face it". Lee looked shocked at my confession.

I raised my hand and they turned their attention to me curious about what I was going to say. I think they have an idea about Jimin and my sour relation I don't know, I just have a feeling they know.

"I think Jung Hoseok and Park Jimin, they both have experience and practiced together for years, so we should also ask Jung Hoseok about it, if we have both of them it will definitely benefit us it will grab more interest". I said as they eyed me in awe.

"Ok, that's final we will get both of them but I think we will have a problem with Park, he never really participated when he was asked, but we need him. It's our last year, let's make it memorable and worth it". Head said

"Don't worry about them, I will talk with Jimin and Hoseok and they will agree". I said

"Ok Mia I will trust you on this get this done, now about the volunteers we need many and we can't select randomly I have already made an Announcement so will get people coming up we need to guide them I think you all will do it, make a team of two and help them, Am I clear any doubts?." We all nodded as an answer that we are clear.
