Oh my goodness. "'Sung, who is that? Are they new?" Jisung looks in the direction I'm looking. "The sad one? That's Felix. He's new. Give him space, Hyunjin. I know how you get with attractive people." I smile. "You're right. They're so beautiful. How can such a beauty have those sad eyes?" Minho rolls his eyes. "So poetic," he says sarcastically and snatches Jisung's apple. "Sorry, not sorry Babe. You know I love apples," Jisung laughs. "I'm your boyfriend. If you can put your tongue down my throat, we can share an apple. Drama-llama." "Sung, I'm the drama-llama. He's just dramatic." Jisung smiles. "All my besties are drama-llamas."

"Who can answer this for 5 points?" Mrs. Ahn asks our math class. "Is it 9 of x?" I ask. "Correct! 5 points for Mr. Hwa-I mean, Hyunjin. Sorry, honey." I love this teacher. She keeps forgetting I'm non-binary, but always corrects herself. "It's fine. Thank you, Mrs. Choi." I write down the answer in my notebook and wait for class to end. I'm walking to Science when I bump into someone. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" the person bows. "Hey, it's fine." they look up and it's Felix. Jesus f**k. They're even more attractive up close. "It's my fault, alright? I should've been looking where I was going." they look so surprised at my apology. They have that look about them that shows that they don't get many apologies. I want to give them every apology they've ever deserved, yet not gotten. "No worries," They're so cute. I hand them their books and turn to go to class, but remember that they're new. "Hey, what do you have for 6th?" they take their schedule out of their pocket. "Humanities," I smile. "Hey, me too. Do you know the way?" They shake their head sadly. "No, I'm stupid. The principal told me, but I forgot..." I shake my head. Stupid? Not with that Chase Atlantic hoodie you're not. "Nobody who listens to Chase Atlantic is stupid, you're anxious on your first day, and who the f**k wouldn't be? C'mon, let's go to class," I take their hand and they look up at me with a blush. "Jisung says your name is Felix. Is that right?" They nod. "Hey, Felix. I'm Hyunjin. If you don't mind me asking, what are your pronouns?" they look up, with a tiny sparkle in their eyes. "He and him. What about you?" Oh, Felix. You have no idea how much I like you. "They and them. Thanks for asking. Let me see your schedule, we might have some of the same teachers," He puts his books into his locker and takes his textbook for Humanities, his notebook, and laptop, and slides a pencil into his pocket. "Okay, come on. Wait, what year are you in?" he asks. f**k. If he's a minor... "Oh, I'm a senior. You?" he smiles. "Junior. I'm in lots of AP classes though, which ones do we have together?" I look at his schedule. "Wait, you're in English 3, 2nd period? How did I not see you?" They look down sadly. "I had to see the nurse for something, but I'm fine now," the look in his eyes tells me to drop it.
