Audrey POV;
Jordan made to charge towards Duffer after he'd revived from the punch, but I quickly stepped in between them.
“Will you stop it now?!” I yelled.
“What do you mean stop? Didn't you see how he punched me so hard now?” Jordan flared, trying to push me away.
“The bus is ready, guys!” Someone announced from our back, I breathe out with relief. The person had just successfully stopped the drama that was yet to unfold, I'm glad, though.
“Let's go” Duffer grabbed my wrist and started walking away.
Hold on, what's wrong with him?
We got to where other students were standing, but Duffer still didn't let go of my hand. “Will you let go of my hand now?” I asked him with a little sigh.
He turned to look at me, he sighed ruefully before letting go of my hand.
I watched his back as he marched into the gathering.
I breathe out heavily before looking down at the hand he held, ignoring the stares a few students are shooting at me.
What's up with him?
“We saw that, girl”
I glanced up to see Hazel and Ryan sneering at me, but with the look on my face, they both composed themselves.
“What's wrong?” Ryan asked, concerned laced in her voice. I sighed deeply.
“Duffer pulled up a stunt earlier, and which I don't understand,” I bit out, staring at the direction he had taken. “What?”
“Did he say something that hurts you?” Hazel asked this time, looking worried.
Students were already marching into the long bus, one after the other.
“Let's go in,” I told them, after I collected my bag from Hazel.
*****
Jeez!
What's going on with me?
Why can't I hold myself back there?
I settled down beside a nonfamiliar guy.
I can't even think straight- I don't understand what that girl is doing to me.
What I have for her had increased since the moment she told me she loves me.
I wanted to have a nice moment with her, I wanted to make her know I also have something for her, but that moron had to ruin everything.
I'm sure going to kill him next time, he better back off, psycho is mine alone.
Why haven't I seen her in the bus, though?
I darted my eyes around and saw her at the back seat, staring outside.
She's not looking so okay to me.
Hazel caught me staring at her and smiled at me, I reciprocated it in the best way I could before sitting properly.
Why's psycho looking so dull?

“I miss you so much, sweetheart,” Mum said for the fifth time, placing a kiss all over my face. “I miss you too, mum” I kissed her forehead.
Chelsea barked in my hands.
I smiled softly at her. “Of course I miss you too, baby girl,” I ruffled her fur.
She purred, causing myself and mum to laugh. Silly!
“Go take a quick shower and come have lunch,” She urged me.
I nodded in agreement and kissed her cheek for the last time, before taking the stairs.
“So how was the trip?” Mum asked me, while eating. “I'm sure you enjoyed it,” She added, but I only nodded. I'm so enjoying this meal.
“I miss your food, mum,” I talked between a mouthful of salad. She chuckled softly.
“Don't be silly, Mi cha, you can't tell me you didn't eat this on your trip”
I gulped some water. “It's nothing compared to yours, baby” I winked at her and her cheeks turned crimson.
“How's Min jun, by the way?” Mum asked with a big smile, and I felt my heart skip at the mentioned of his name.
“I want to believe you guys already getting along so well because I saw everything”
My eyes dilated. “You saw everything?” I asked with a quizzical look.
“Yes Audrey, in my dreams” She grins.
I shook my head as I rose to my feet. “I need to nap, mum” I yawned softly, beckoning to Chelsea from where she was sitting to come closer. “You need it dear”
“Catch you later,” I told her, carrying Chelsea up to my chest. “You still haven't answered my question, Audrey,” I halted my steps on the stairs. “What's that, mum?”
“How's Min jun, my boy?”
I could feel her grinning already, from the tone of her voice.
“He's fine”
I replied with an eye roll and continued walking to my room. I wonder why mum has come to like him this much.
The-following_day,
Busan Foreign High School (BFHS)
“I miss Nami island already,” Ryan pouts.
“Would you like to go back there?” Hazel asked her, munching on her toast.
“Gladly” She replied, eyeing Hazel playfully.
I just watched them with a little smile on my face. “Can I join you guys?”
Oh, my…
I know that voice.
I looked up swiftly, and truly, he's the one.
My heart beat started its normal movement, whenever he's close. “Of course, Min jun”
“Seat here” Hazel smiled widely, pushing an empty chair back for him. “Thank you” He also smiled as he took his seat, next to mine.
I felt his eyes on me, but I refused to look at him. What's he doing here?
“Min jun is here, Audrey” Ryan announced, and I shot her a hard glare. “Why aren't you eating?” Duffer asked, directing the question to me.
“Uh mm… We'll leave you guys,” Hazel and Ryan stood up from their seats and walked away before I could utter something.
I glanced at Duffer and he's already grinning.
“So, can you be plain with me now?” He smirked. “You were shy cause of your friends, isn't it?” He winked, I blinked my eyes twice. What a cute jerk!
“Did you by chance took a wrong medicine?” I asked him, bluntly. He lifted his shoulders.
“I don't know, all I know is that I want to be around you,” He was facile. And as soon as he said that, our eyes locked for a while, my heart wouldn't stop beating so fast.
What's he doing to me?
“Will you get out of here?” A male voice yelled, bringing us back to the present.
I averted my eyes towards the direction the thick voice just blared from, and to my utmost surprise, it was Kwan's boyfriend, he just yelled at Kwan in the presence of everyone in the cafeteria.
The whole place had fallen into a complete silence. Kwan looked around, embarrassingly. “What's wrong, Seo yun?” She asked tearily.
I could hear her clearly, since she was standing close to my seat.
“I didn't tell you something was wrong, just get out of my sight!” He scowled.
I watched as tears rolled down Kwan eyes before she ran out of the cafeteria. Damn!
I stood up abruptly, anger had laced through me. I glare at him on his seat.
“You're not going to meet him, are you?” Duffer asked me, silently.
I ignored him and walked out of my seat and went straight to where he was sitting, laughing wholeheartedly with his friends.
“So you think it's funny?” I asked him with a growl, folding my hands on my chest.
“Hey! It's none of your business crazy, so stay out of this,” One of his friends cautioned.
“One more word from you again and you shall see how I'm going to destroy your mouth,” I threatened through tightened teeth, and he gulped down, looking away from my figure.
“Why did you just embarrass my friend?!” I threw the question at the a*shole.
He stared at me like he doesn't understand the language I just spoke.
Okay,
Someone is losing his tooth soon.
